So I was really asking - not what should be possible - but what people have actually used and has worked for them (not sure if I am asking a wrong question here - maybe it’s a secret) : )

Thanks uncle_muddy.

Last time I looked at bittlicious.com as a seller you need to be able to supply a serious amount of regular coins - that is not something I have.

From: https://bittylicious.com/application

Secondly, you should be ready to sell a reasonable amount of virtual currency. At a minimum, you should be able to sell at least £1000, €1200 or $1500 per week in BTC, but less with altcoins (although still a reasonable amount please!).

e.g. anyone used https://localbitcoins.com/ (e.g. turning FTC to BTC first of course).

?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you have FTC (e.g. from mining) and you want to turn this into Sterling into your bank account - what is the best way.

Any information or mechanisms people are using would be much appreciated.

BTC-e seems to be a bit of a fortress for getting money out.

Nice !

Any new features - or is this the new starting point - look professional though.

That answer and the explanation deserves a rep at the very least ! - so here you go - have a rep ! : )

Like - Wow - I never thought safety should be so high on the agenda - it’s always cooling and power - but never safety.

Excellent reminder.

err - mate that is proper scary !!!

Why do you think this was ?

Over clocking ?

Too much heat ?

The use of cheap components (no offence) ?

It would help to know why you think it happened - ok that might be different then why it did happen - but it’s useful to know your feelings here ?

Or was it just one of those things that can happen ? - in which case - someone would have to be insane to leave a mining rig running overnight at home !!!

On that note - are you a full time miner - or do you have a day job also - in which case - don’t you worry about the house burning down !?

I did say it has a half joke … but I can see this is no laughing matter.

I will get myself one.

Thanks for replies

Card on fire - Yikes !

Has Anyone had to use one on their rig should one have one on standby ?

Or am I being paranoid ?

Thanks - I did that

Now the fan whirrs up and down when idle : )

ok - but I still can’t modify the voltage - any ideas - I am using OC_GURU II by gigabyte

Wow - not paying for electric - how did that happen ?

Anyway - do you have any links to the Asus VBios or what to do ?

Thanks.

I found more information here - https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=1945.0 good old google hey - ahem.

In a nutshell - I think it’s a case of some gfx cards needing some power from the motherboard and the fact that - motherboards are meant to support 5 hungry cards so you help them by having powered risers - if you only have about 3 gfx cards it sounds like you don’t need powered risers - but perhaps I did not read it right.

So thanks Ignition75 - your summary was accurate : )

I am building on 64bit windows 7 and I am not sure if that is the problem.

As I no minimal web surfing etc on the mining machine for fear of infection ! (lol) - I will have to take a look and post something later

It basically complains about not being able to build in the gou support

and even if I put the right files in C:\MinGW\include bin lib

if the ./configure stage it says something like

opencl … no

• sorry I need access to the box to get the exact stuff - but perhaps someone is going to tell me that you can’t do this on 64 bit Windows - I chose windows as I heard the tools are better for tweaking than Linux - perhaps Linux is the right way to go - anyway - I hope to post more info later.

Thanks

Hi,

I was wondering - when do you need a powered riser and when do you not - i.e. why choose a 1x-16x vs 1x-16 powered ? - surely the gfx cards get’s it power directly from the psu ?

Thanks

Thanks very much for the help everyone.

I wanted 3.7.2 as I think it might give me a higher hash then 3.5.0

Also does anyone know of a 64bit windows build of sgminer - or does the 32bit one work just fine on 64bit machines running Windows 7 64bit.

Thanks very much

I used a bitly link for the picture - thought you would all like to see the stats for which country people clicked from.

Quite an international community !

If anyone finds this creepy - I will remove the picture.

Hi,

I tried to go through the instructions for building cgminer 3.7.2 and it just did not work ! - what a time sink !

Anyway - does anyone here on the forum know of the location for a pre-built one from a trustable location ? - as the main site does not have it on anymore. I need it for Windows 7 64bit

Also - is bfgminer better ?

Are there any other miner progams worth a try ?

I am using GUIMiner at the mo - it uses CGminer in the back version 3.5.0 - but I know this is a bit old.

Thanks

Fans are running at 80% for the R290 and R280x - the R290 is noisy noisy ! X |

By positioning the big fan right I was able to get 70C temperature on the R290 which is not bad.

good suggestion - my gigabyte r290 is voltage locked : (

my r280x also by gigabyte can be voltage modded using VBE … when I am feeling brave I will have a try …

Thanks.

p.s. I realised that this does not count as serious cooling - given some of the extreme cooling used by miners - but it an idea for newbies like me : )
p.p.s. perhaps someone needs to buy an old but operating wind tunnel and use that to cool a stack of machines … they would have to be well screwed down ! LOL : D

R290 and R280x

Temp from R290 was 88C !!!

After cooling (fan on lowest speed - not sure on wattage - maybe 40W-60W)

Temp for R290 was 74C - much better.
