Hi guys,
I use Multiminer with my r9 290s on win7.
Should I add something like --temp overheat -- to my Scrypt or Multiminer will do it without my help when my cards are overheated?
im running 6 R9 290's on 2 boxes (watercooled) on win 7 and win 8.1
based on my experience on running the stock cards BEFORE i watercooled, you CAN overheat the cards resulting in a shutdown condition by doing a restart from the mobileminer.
try it, and youll c what happens!!
this is if u set your AMD settings to max of 95 C, youll easily hit 98 C or more by doing a mobileminer restart. watch out!!
my suggestion?
to get the max benefits of the card goto watercooling, try ekwb solution. its cheap and they have a great block for the card!
hacking the card is easy.
the r9 290 is a great card, too bad the supply of unlocked cards dried up!!
the 1st card i got i was able to unlock it and the 290 that i paid 399 for became a 290x !!!! (that one runs 820k/sec scrypt.
so both ofm y boxes together watercooled run maximum rates.
a 290 is good for about 760k, a 290x is good for 820k, without overlocking.
i get about 4.6 M on 2 boxes nice and watercooled :-)
i recommend u push pull the radiator fans, and use cooler master jetflo 120 CFM fans on them........ make sure u use a 12 volt connector too. runs nice and cool all day and all night :-)
