\[Eligible\]Mining

wrapper

I’ve got 2 PCs set up, one was our server, the other a backup PC we left dual core when me and my son upgraded our PCs to four core. I’m mining p2pool.org to distribute the mining but have managed to set up solo mining during the 10th June attack, as a backup if the pool gets badly affected again.

PC.1.Intel Core 2,
6 GigByte RAM
CGMiner set up on 12.04 Kubuntu/Linux
with 2 GPU cards
Radeon 6770 -70 KHash/s
Radeon 6950 - 135 Hash/s

PC.2.AMD Dual Core,
6 GigByte RAM
CGMiner set up in Windows7
Radeon 6970 - 200 KHash

I’ve also got out 2 normal PCs doing a bit of CPU of 120 KHash/s making 450 - 500 KHash/s. I’ve got the Hall effect power meter from BGAS set up on the PC motherboard, so I am vastly subsidising the network start-up at 1 KWattHour power usage.

I’ve blown up 2 power supplies before I’d accustomed myself to operating the Graphics cards at the right Intensity, so now use a separate power supply on the Dual card system to ease the strain on the main one, and try not to turn up the 6970, which is tempting but potentially incendiary!

The picture was taken as I added the Radeon 6970 to the Windows machine and moved the 6770 to the Dual card Linux system. You can check out my stats at p2pool.org / Feathercoin - 6i1BPXDBesnP9DdT5poyct87eHrFWFstAb - where I’ve done most of my mining.

Heres my new rig. Runs like a boss. I can’t wait to add some more kilobytes!

Once I hit 1024kb I will have to use

in my config.sys, but I can live with that.

Hey!
Soo here are my MiningMachines!

[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31024229/Mining22.jpg[/img]

Each computer got:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 12288MB RAM The red only only got 8gb
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series (7970)
Total Space: 61.1 GB
File System: NTFS
Model: SATA SSD

Iam building 1 additional rig atm, with an P55-USB3 board + i5 core 4gb ram and 2x HD 6870 ( Had this ones before the 7970) not that effectiv but yeah doing 550kh/s together

Item 3

Here is my CgMiner with CatalystControlCenterConfiguration CCCC :D

cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:8100 -o USERNAME -p PASSWORD --queue 0 -I 13
afterwards setting manual Scantime/Expiretime atm using scantime= 10 and expiretime = 60 (but getting lots of rejected sadly.) If u have any advices pls pm me :D

1. Show off your rig (pics) and write an article (minimum 70 words) about your mining setup [10 Tickets]

I guess I would technically be a casual miner since I use my rig for gaming as well. That said, I leave it up overnight to mine and usually whenever I’m at work or doing other things not involving the computer.

Case: Corsair Carbide 500r
GPU: 1x Sapphire 7950 with Arctic Accelero 7970
Mobo: MSI P67A-GD65
PSU: Corsair HX 750W
CPU: Intel i5-2500k with Corsair H100i
Ram: 8GB G.skill Ripjaws
HDD: 1TB
SSD: 128GB
Hashrate: ~600 khash/s

These are my vid card and cgminer settings… showing a little over ~600 khash/s

4. Post ways of reducing heat from personal experience [2 Tickets]

Hands down the best way I’ve seen to reduce heat is using this aftermarket GPU cooler [url=http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/detail/index/sArticle/502/sCategory/2182]http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/detail/index/sArticle/502/sCategory/2182[/url]. It’s a little pricey, but it’s practically silent. And at load, my GPU temp barely goes above 50C (you can see the temp in my previous post). I will caution you though, it’s a pain to install and took me a little over 2 hours.

[URL=http://imgbox.com/acnMldAw][IMG]http://t.imgbox.com/acnMldAw.jpg[/img][/URL]

My rig is quite simple. I wanted to try mining, but i didn’t want to spend much on it. So I bought mainly used parts. It cost me about 400 USD and gives 650 khash/s. Here is what I’ve got:

MB: MSI 945GT Speedster
RAM: 2GB
CPU: Some kind of Intel Duo @ GHz
PSU: Fortron FSP700-50ARN 700W
GPU1: VTX Radeon 6950 – 400 khs
GPU2: VTX Radeon 6850 – 250 khs

Rig is headless :) and has no HDD. It is running OS from USB stic. At first it was using BAMT, but I switched to SMOS Linux recently (it’s just better). Also because of the MB I had to use PCI-E riser x4 to x16 cable. And of course the rig is running 24/7 :)

Item 4:
I found that adding a custom fan profile and ensuring the proper airflow throughout your case can help a lot in lowering heat.

I have two computers mining: Home computer is mining randomly and another second hand computer is dedicated only for mining. I use GUI-Miner Scrypt with basic settings that it offers for my cards and MSI afterburner to control GPU core temp between 70-80c and Teamviewer to connect to computers by laptop and if needed also by Android phone. Below are specs for computers:

Mining dedicated computer (located another place in a cool basement):
Intel C2D E6400
Asus P5B Deluxe
2GB RAM
ASUS HD6970
XFX HD5770

Home computer (mining when not used for other things):
Phenom II X4 965
Asus M4A785TD-V EVO
4 GB RAM
Sapphire HD5970 (lucky to buy this second hand card for 40â‚¬ to replace my old 8500GT :) )

And here is picture of my home computer with HD5970. Another picture canâ€™t have, cause second computer is not here, but nothing special to see on that other. Itâ€™s a normal black ATX case with side open to make it run a little cooler.
