Near New Saphire 5830's and PCIe x1 Extender Cables - Australia

Hi,

Sold up all my gear just when the crash happened and still have 4x Sapphire 5830's left and 8x PCIe x1 Extender Cables. I live in Brisbane Australia but am willing to post Australia Wide. Cards were originally bought for $140 ea but am willing to sell for $80 + Postage each. Pickup means no postage fees. PCIe x1 Extender Cables I'm looking for $8 each or $50 for all 8 plus postage if required. I've sold the other 8 that I had so these are the last lot. If you take everything, you can have the lot for $320 Plus Postage if required. Email me for the quickest response. magicrat80@yahoo.com.au

Re: AOCLBF (was Phoenix Rising): Front End GUI to Phoenix/POCLBM

Hi
First off, I LOVE your program! switched from guiminer and never looked back.
I have a problem with OC settings though, both with catalyst set to startup or not, aoclbf won't retain or apply OC settings (at startup).
Its a great tool for OCing, especially since I'm running a 6950 and a 5830 in one machine and have had loads of problems with the setup, until you added the GPU settings tab... hewever even when I get a stable OC manually set in aoclbf, apply and accept "set clocks on startup" box, it won't apply on a PC restart.
I'm running 1.71 btw.

//Edit

Is there any reason this is slower than GUIminer? I placed it in the GUIminer folder which has phoenix ect.. with all the same settings it was atleast 10 MH/s slower for each GPU

In regards to the slower MH/s, I found after just playing around and setting it up for the first time that AOCLBF takes first preference to default to POCLBM so it may be doing that. I removed PCOLBM and it defaulted to PHOENIX which gave me heaps better MH/s. I had to manually set the FLAGS for BFI_INT (Couldn't choose even though I've got a 5830) and gave it a "-v" aswell. Can't remember what the -v does but I've always used it (might be for VECTORS which I have ticked but not 100% sure as I'm away from that computer). So try removing POCLBM, restart the program and you might see faster speeds (unless you have already done that)

Thanks so much for that. It actually works.
GPU has never been in another PCI-E slot.
I imagine it was something to do with the onboard video.
Thanks for taking the time to look at the issue too.

Having a few issues with AOCLBF.

I've downloaded Pheonix 1.50 and placed/extracted into a AOCLBF folder
I've downloaded POCLBM 20110428 and placed/extracted into a AOCLBF folder
I've downlaoded AOCLBF 1.71 and placed/extracted into a AOCLBF folder

Upon starting AOCLBF it asks how many clients I would like to create. Input 1 and hit okay.
Then I get AutoIT Error

Line 8689 (File "C:\aoclbf\aoclbf 1.71.exe")
Error: Array variable subscript badly formatted.

I've looked through the release topic to find other people had similiar issues but not exactley the same.
I tried everything that they stated would fix the other error messages but no dice.

My system specs:
Windows 7 64bit
4GB Ram
Sapphire ATI HD5830
Catalyst 11.5
ATI SDK 2.4
Afterburner

Currently running GUIMiner and pheonix perfectly. Have closed GUIminer and Afterburner and still no dice.
I'm using the executable from the mediafire link (which I figure is the 32bit version) yet it is said to still
work on 64bit Windows.

Since I had no luck with that I looked at compiling myself.

Downloaded AutoIT and compiled AOCLBF myself but needed an include called _processlistfunctions.au3.
After some googling, found the source and put it inside the Includes folder (under the AutoIT directory).
Here's the link for those who need it.

http://sites.google.com/site/ascend4ntscode/processfunctions

After doing that, compiled the 1.71 version without the X64 tick box and got a new error

Line 7912 (File "C:\aoclbf\aoclbf.exe"):
Error: Array variable subscript badly formatted.

Tried this with the X64 (which is apparantley broken since v1.4) and got this error message

Line 7832 (File "C:\aoclbf\aoclbf.exe"):
Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable.

So, still no luck but maybe someone else out there has a solution. Can anyone help?

AOCLBF (a.k.a. Phoenix Rising) Frontend supports backup pools. I can't get it working on my machines unfortunately (Windows 7 64bit) but others may be able to. Just search AOCLBF in the forums to find it.

The company in question will notice the spike in their electrical costs and upon investigating will find the computers are the culprits and then it's all downhill from there. 2 Machines with 4x5830 would generate more coins than the 100 machines.

Re: How much is a mining rig worth?
by
magicrat80
on 23/06/2011, 06:21:31 UTC
I recently bought a rig in Aus for just over $900

CPU: AMD Sempron 140
RAM: 2GB
MB: GB GA-870A-UD3 (2xPCI-E x16 and 2xPCI-E x1)
GPU: 4 x Sapphire HD5830
PS: CORSAIR TX-850

Have this running caseless and getting roughly 1100-1200 MH/s

Hard to predict wether it will pay itself off yet, but once MTGOX
comes back up, will be interesting to see the rate BTC get.
I'm happy to wait and see how the market moves for at least
a month or two and just save my BTC.

Re: 2x 5830s. second card wont get more than 5 megahashes
by
magicrat80
on 23/06/2011, 06:12:36 UTC
I have to 5830 in my machine at home and had a few issues getting it to work half-way decent.
With MSI Afterburner, I had to set the EULA agreement in the config file to allow above normal overclocking first.
Then, I needed to setup the overclock on the first card.
First things first, I had to change the memory clock speed to 600, apply and then close the program.
On re-opening, I could set the memory clock speed down to 350 and the core speed to 975.
This is when I ran Phoenix for GPU1 and had it speeding away at 285-300 MH/s
Then changed it to GPU 2 in MSI Afterburner.
Again, I changed the memory clock speed to 600, apply and then close the program.
On re-opening, I could set the memory clock speed down to 350 and the core speed to 975.
This is when I ran Phoenix for GPU2 and had it running at 240-260 MH/s
I believe this is because I was just switching the monitor instead of using a dummy plug.
I am going to be making some dummy plugs tonight, and will test it again to see if I can get 285-300 MH/s
out of the second GPU.

I'm running Windows 7 32bit on that machine BTW.

5 x ATI Sapphires HD5830 running at 975/350 each.
Fans set at 80%
Getting 1400 MH/s currently but have some tweaking to do.
Will be installing dummy plugs this afternoon which should increase output.

If i get my cables from Cablesaurus today (almost 10 days from the US to Aus),
I can install a further 3 cards to increase rate to hopefully 2300 MH/s

Someone has already mentioned it, but the ATI HD5830 are a great little card to start off with.
I'm pulling 285-300 m/hashs based on 975/350 settings with afterburner and windows 7.
In Australia, you can pick them up for around $140-$150 depending on where you shop.
