haha this is true mate.  But I normally can get there with a few bites.. who wastes times with licking.  Which reminds me of "Fake Chow" hahaha



Can you "fake chow" a tootsie pop?

Your'e correct, these guys are not skiddies.  I only know, because I know who's actually behind all of this.  I have no take in it, just know from being connected via whomever.. however, its more than just a botnet and its not punishment.  They have their reasons behind it.  The attack against deepbit is not supposed to stop any time soon.  Its just how they're currently operating.


Additionally, BTC Guild did not black list every IP address.  This I know because I know Eleuthria at a more personal level.  There have been major changes to his infrastructure over the last few days and more to come in the coming week, however it takes more than just a large enough pipe to handle the attacks.

You need access to an upstream provider who is capable of withstanding the attack as well as mitigating through means of nulling the route upstream, not just the IP of the pools server, that doesn't do anything for the miners or the pool operators, other than shutting them down.

BTCGuild is moving to a larger connection, much larger connection.  This I know because I am the one plugging it in

Hey flower, one thing I noticed a long time ago with Ubuntu 11.04 at least is that at times, with numerous cards, depending on board, you just see a black screen and the monitor will goto power save mode.  Push ALT-F1, SHIFT-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-F1.  Usually alt-f1 will work, but it is just wonkiness with the graphics display xvga settings in Grub.

You should get a screen.  You can test if the box is truly locked up by once the black screen happens, push your caps lock key, if light no keyboard lights up, you're not locked up* so to speak.

Try the method I mention above and just push ALT-F1 or other combination(s) a few times and see what happens

I currently have over 50 dedicated rigs in Antec One Hundred cases with 1x120mm in front and 1x120mm in the side panel, I use Delta 120mm fans like this one.

They're very high CFM fans. http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/deaf12recsuh.html

I read the forums quite often, I post on the forums rarely.  But I feel I deserve to be removed from the newbie as I am not a newbie.  I am currently one of the largest contributing miners to BTCGuild and BTCMine (Shat) and I built http://guildco.in/ and http://btcmineco.in/ for both pools.  Additionally, I provide technical consulting with Eleuthria for Btcguild and I know the ins and outs of most of our jargon.

Guess I'm a forum newb, just not a newb in general.

Is there a modification of the patch for phoenix-1.48 yet?

248W @ 2.02A @ 122.3V @ 60Hz is the power going INTO the psu... not to the video card

122.3V would kill it haha

I've been testing some Radeon units and I noticed that when/if I have to use the Molex 4pin (standard molex power) connector adapter to 6PIN PCI-e connector.. the cards fan spins up and seems to run, but it never actually functions.  I test all the cards in windows, just to see if they appear and I've noticed they don't show up.

Now, the PSU can handle it, tested on 1150W and a 650W, same scenario on 8 cards using 4 sets of those adapter cables that ship with retail packaging.  With 1 5850 its pulling about 248W @ 2.02A @ 122.3V @ 60Hz

Ideas?

I can go caseless on a shelf/tray in a rack.  We have ~ 15 racks, not too much free space, but enough to get by.  Currently, I just tried plugging in a 5850 using those silly molex 4 to pci-6 pin connectors that ship with the units... the video card gets power, the fan is spinning... but it doesn't show up in windows.

Not sure why, I tried multiple cards with multiple little adapter cables.  I was hoping to use some of these smaller 650W psu's i have laying.

damnit... ideas?

I am not sure if they're reference or not, they're Sapphire Radeon HD 5850, specifically, Sapphire Radeon 5850 on Tiger Direct.  They appear to have a fan, not a turbine of any type.  I can't tell if they take air in the back or exhaust out the back.  I'm looking at a rig now, thats been running for a while and its at 66C on both GPUs and one of them (fans) is at 75% other at 53%.  The one at 75% is because it is just as close to the PSU (on bottom) as these 4 cards will be to one another, but then again.. they're not that close together to each other and I know the GPU puts off more heat than anything else in the case.

I might test it.. but I might just put 3 in still, or perhaps only 2 and just be stuck with a spare card in another machine alone, until more come in.

Getting 365MH/s stable out of 5850s.  All in all there are currently 11 5850s in operating on my pool at this rate.  They can do 375-380 no problem too, if you wish to run them at 74C all day.

Alright, so I am currently in the process of extending a personal mining pool that is in operation with two other friends.  I just received more Sapphire Radeon 5850s and plenty of Mobo, CPUs, Memory, PSUs etc to build out.  However, I am curious.  I was originally planning on operating only two cards in each machine, or perhaps three, but if I run 3 on the motherboard, I am worried about heat of one of the cards, because it will be directly next to another card.

Additionally, I've thought about putting 4 to a machine. 

Motherboards are MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard

My question is, based on running them @ 850/900 @ 1.088v (stock voltage) which consumes in the neighborhood of 250W (give or take 20W) at full load, each.  Do you think the heat would be too much?  Currently all my 5850s are 2 to a box, at the cpu/memory and voltage previously mentioned; and operating at 60C - 62C without any issues.  Granted, they're running on a datacenter floor with plenty of cooling, so I'm not worried about the room temperature, it is already super cool ~ 64F.

This is the proposed configuration of four:

Do you think it will be an issue?

All in all this will add another 3GH/s to our pool.  Which is always great!

Yesterday I was running strong and now for whatever reason neither of my GPUs are doing squat against the pool:

I average ~320Mh/s on each GPU but I either get connection issues or only a few Khash/s.

Ideas  

Yeah I'm still showing a huge amount of shares on my rigs.  See what's up once he's around.  Sucks about the invalid block last night   huge block lol took forever.

In my newest rig, built ignoring power requirements and mainly most hashes for less $ I went 5850 and I get 300Mhash/s ea. I run 2x5850 in each box. Total of three boxes running on our datacenter floor. Total cost was about 340$/each using chassis mobo and CPUs I had. I het 5850s for 129$ from a vendor we do a great deal of volume with each month.

I have faith in it. Buddy turned me on to it today at the office. I've been in slush's and solo for a while now. Let us know if we can help at all mate.

back to down

hopefully it isn't one of mine   back up and running @ 600Mhps.  Sent you an email btw.  Check it tomorrow when you have some time.  I'm off to sleep.

Average makes sense.  Started up working again for a bit and is now back to comm errors

eleuthria:

Additionally, I am showing I am pushing out 624Mhash/s right now and your site is only showing me: 62.04 mH/sec on 1 worker and 81.13 mH/sec   on the other.

Ideas?
