Re: PhoenixMiner 5.8c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
is there a way to add phoenix miner back to nicehash, even manually? i want to keep using the nicehash UI, dont want to manually mine with phoenix, i want to still be able to algo hop
Haha I wanted to do the same with a few GPU's but I think the moisture will not do em good.
Is is quite an original idea tbh.
Don't worry, water only condense on an object which is colder than air, miners when running are warmer than the surroundings so there will not be condense. My net is to stop insect/flowers/snowflakes from being sucked into the intake of miners, it has large holes (2mm in diameter)
You'd be surprised how many stupid people on the forums think that water condenses on hot things. I'm glad you aren't one of the dumb ones. I ran computer equipment outside for over a year, had no problems except for heatpipes freezing in subzero temperatures.
Why do you have wires coming from the outside thru the window?
Keyboard, display, mouse, outdoor temp sensor, network cable etc... The machine on the left used to be a GPU mining rig, requires frequent adjustment through AMDOverdriveCtrl, so I run it directly with a screen without the need to ssh to it each time
Now I get it, your mining rig is actually "outside". How do you protect it from the rain?
Did you miss the part where he said snow storms? Asin, below freezing? Asin, no rain?
Okay. Note to self.. Drink coffee befor trying to do math and counting.
Thats still only 9.755859375Gh not 10.38

Why do you think the move up from megahash to gigahash is 1024 and not 1000? We're talking an absolute value of the number of hashes done, not a data size. 333 mhash = 0.333 ghash
the aitech should. The other one, probably not.
I'm selling USB hubs that run BE's. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271252540623
$45 + ship if you want to trade here instead.
Heres a video that shows them running BEs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOrawRcUmOE

what is it?, looks like an asic single or something 
its a bfl jalapeno
I haven't tuned the software on these rigs for minimum overhead and I haven't overclocked the video cards yet either. Currently the farm is running at ~6GH/s or ~500MH/s for each 7970. I built it as fast as I could to get the mining started so they are currently running Ubuntu desktop. Ultimately I plan to create a Gentoo USB install that automatically tunes and mines each rig.

i like how you've stripped away half the cases - did you just drill out the rivets on some cheap/old cases?
That's exactly what I did. I used a dremel and just drilled out the rivets on the sides I wanted to cut away. I had to use some tin snips to cut away some of the bottom of the case as the 3rd video card would have used up a 9th PCIe slot which the cases didn't have. The cases are new and were about $25 each which is probably cheaper than some of the custom case builds I've seen.
So why exactly did you buy cases at all? Waste of money..

Nothing rare, but my two little USB erupters arrived today. Set them up on a shelf above my desk with a D-Link DUB-H7 7 port hub I got for $23. I quickly realised that they were reaching 70+ deg C temps when I was setting them up and the 2x 15 watt server fans really help (but they are running at 3.3 volts so they are essentially silent). Miners now get better temps of about 45 deg C (25 deg C ambient) after running for a while. Getting <1% hardware errors in bfgminer I might have to look at that later.
Is there any components on the other side of the PCB? Or is the aluminium heatsink removing heat through the PCB itself? Some micro-sized heatsinks might be in order for the ASIC chip on the top side in any case...

You realize your fans are easily using 6 times (or more) as much power as the USB miners themselves? Those fans are also noisy as FUCK. You can be fine with just a gentle breeze. The USB miners actually don't need any cooling at all. The manufacturer has tested them with zero airflow and even removed the heatsinks (the chunk of metal with the BTC symbol on it) and they still ran just fine with no increase in HW errors.
If you really feel you need to run fans, get something slow and quiet. Something that uses very low power. A 240mm fan that only draws 0.8 amps @ 12v will cool 50 usb miners without a problem.
Good Lord has no one ever heard of the [img width=1200] option? I couldn't even tell those were Gigabyte cards until I downsized them.
I haven't. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I don't need to manually resize the pictures in mspaint.

What kind of mobo is that
It's the two mobos side by side kind!
Idiocy and unhelpfulness aside, it appears to be a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 and a Biostar Hi-Fi A85W
I use these to get more PCI-E power plugs. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812198018
If I -have- to use a molex to get more PCI-E power plugs, I use the ones included with Sapphire cards. They're single molex, not double, and there are no missing wires in the PCI-E pwoer plug, unlike the ones I see in this thread. Their wires are pretty thick, so they don't get hot.

Doesn't help that the gigabyte cards are voltage locked to something far above 1.0875v (Stable at 1015MHz at supposedly 1v? yeah right). Anyways, I have 2 5970 and 4 5870, all reference connected to one mobo and one PSU. 3.02 GHash @ 1v, 965 watts or 3.13 Mhash/joule. Not too bad for GPUs
Which Gigabyte cards? From 7 series only voltage locked cards are newer 7970s. Rest can be flashed with old BIOS
gigabyte 5850 is voltage locked (likely also with 5830 and 5870. other manufacturers have some sort of voltage changing, and reference cards are great with 0.0125v steps)
NEVER use a SATA to PCIe connector - don't know who the hell thought of that idea but that is just asking for a problem since the SATA connectors were never designed to deliver that much power.
How much power is SATA cable rated for?I have 5830's that's undervolted, and was thinking of using SATA to PCI-E power cables.
IMO, just use PCI-E plug splitters. Some power supplies split a set of 6 wires (3 hot, 3 ground) to 2 6+2 plugs already (300 watts!). With SATA, you only have 1 hot and 2 grounds, and they are likely thinner gauge wire, plus the connectors are not rated for a significant power draw.
Here are the PCI-E power plug splitters that I use. They take in a 6 pin plug (or 6+2, but it only takes in 6) and output 2 6+2 plugs, essentially adding one additional PCI-E plug per splitter. I love them. They are $3 each with free shipping if bought in volume at newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812198018
home made risers with "activate 1x" hotplug bridge, and additional power molex
what is "activate 1x" hotplug bridge? and is there anywhere a technical sketch how to add an additional power molex (because for me one card has broken without additional power molex)
TIA
i would like some 1x > 1x risers with the PCI-E presence mod please. I don't need the molex mod. i can provide risers.

Why are there girls dancing in your video? wtf?
Re-organized my miners for making room for more GPU rigs (yup, still GPU mining) as well as proper electrical sockets. Click pictures for bigger version.
Electrical box before.. No faceplate, 16awg wiring, plugs into a 3 prong dryer socket. 250 volts and 30 amps.
Electrical box after. Faceplates, duplex sockets, internally wired with 10awg wiring. Much thicker and safer.
And the miners themselves. Before (Was posted in this thread once already)
And after with metal racks. Easier to remove graphics cards, lower profile.

I avoid using them because I noticed some instability when I used one of those Sapphire 1x 4pin molex to 6pin on my then 5830.
When the cables get hot, that usually means that the psu is overheating and/or under severe load.
I had a 750W power supply powering two gigabyte 5850's off of a molex line. Didnt draw more than 450 watts at the wall, but the wires melted at the modular connection between molex and power supply. Power supply was not overheating or under severe load. It was the load on the wires. Too many amps.
Also there's some wrongly wired molex to PCI-E out there. I had one that had a 5v wire attached to a ground pin. I threw that away immediately. Dead short = not good. Yes some molex to pci-e use red wires but properly attach ground to ground, but this one was dead short.
what kind of adapter is that? and why are some wires red and some yellow? video cards dont need external 5v power aside from whats provided on the pci-e bus.

5 series was pulling much more power then the 7... And when you said wrongly wired, i went through all of my spare cables. Found 2
