I feel lucky God Bless Hydraulic Fracking and Clean Burning Coal! I got a letter in my mail Ohio’s energy aggregation is dropping costs to $0.06 per kWh! AWESOME!
2 rigs with 2 ASUS R9 280X each, waiting for risers and putting in 6 GPU’s each… I have 2 1,350 Watt Silverstone Zeus PSUs begging to be used in each one… Yup I have 4 of these bad boys

In the state of Ohio in the USA we max out at $0.08 per kWh or 0.06 Euro per kWh… What’s it like where you are for power costs? I know Ohio is cheap, but I want to know how cheap in power costs.

As title says how do I reduce hardware errors. I use ASUS R9 280X GPUs

I sent them back after all… I tried EVERYTHING on the BIOS with same results. So I ordered 12 PCI-E X1 -> X16 risers from [url=http://litecoinminingparts.com/]http://litecoinminingparts.com/[/url] hopefully they should be here next week. Hopefully these new powered risers will do well with my Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 and ASUS GPUs. I could not resolve lock up issues. So USB risers are a no go thus far. On to X1->X16 flat powered risers…

Here it is a video of it locking up

Now I had another thought even though I tested it on just one GPU… Do I need to increase the latency on the PCI bus possibly?

Issues are still continuing I have a video I will post later from youtube of me trying it out and then seeing it lock up

I am trying to understand how the FTC to BTC price is determined is there a formula of some sort I can plug in to determine it in addition to just going on some site and finding the exchange rate between the two. How would I determine profitability of BTC/USD vs FTC/USD if I would convert FTC to BTC. Is there any sort of profitability in that regard with converting FTC to BTC or is it just good for a diversification of assets?
I use CoinMKT for my trading as it’s US based and registered under the Federal Government according to FinCen under the US Treasury.

Many of them are poorly or incorrectly made - seems everyone and their grandmother are trying to make these cables for a quick buck in the mining boom. I make them myself, as I don’t trust anyone else to do it correctly ;)

How do you make them yourself? Also have you heard anything about the Magic Growing risers? I mean they work it’s just a question of how long they last, they boot up fine, screen is fine, then after a period of a few minutes to 20 minutes the system just locks up

Well my next theory is that the cable is too taught and the vibrations are pulling it slightly out of the board, So I ordered 6 18" USB 3.0 cables to replace the 12" cables and some sugru that should be here tuesday or wednesday. So I will let you know. But no one has answered if the cable is taught could the vibrations from the fans be causing the card to slightly pull causing the system to lock up?

Yup tried swapping parts and got the same exact issue on both rigs, however when I plug them directly on the motherboard they work like a charm. I had some old fashioned risers from ModDIY the 30cm ones but never worked so I sent them back. By never worked I mean no screen or anything. Was 30cm too long? I may potentially consider reordering powered risers that are flat if this does not seem to work.
I really don’t see what could be causing it because when I pushed all 3 side by side together as I said directly on the board, although it was smoking hot (I think I burnt my finger when I accidentally grabbed it when I was talking to a buddy). Is it possible if the cable is slightly taught that it could be pulling on the riser card and/or the PCI-E X1 card causing my issues? I have 12" cables (30cm) currently and they seem kind of taught.
