Only lazy, useless ppl mining in multipools. I tested Multipool, Middlecoin, and other that type of pool. Results for 24 hours was almost twice lower that if I was mining coin of my choice. Simples

Here is some thoughts about Dogecoin :

1. Developers is useless as they never fixing problem them self! Always some outsider or pool owner has to step in to fix they code.

2. Most of the wallet updates is broken, ending up with lost transactions, missing coins and so on …

3. 240 minutes coin maturity time will not help, this is another “great” idea from brainless dev’s - it’s like that will stop Multipools from dumping :D

4. Doge had REAL BIG MONEY invested , that’s how you can explain random “anonymous” commercial adds appearing in news papers around the world

5. Doge Reddit community holds 10%-15% of total coins and is a perfect free advertisements minions and have NO REAL influence on coins value as such.

6. Golden age of Doge is over - Big money is leaving the game and you will only see it going down, Price will settle at 50-70 satoshi.

All this coming from person that was mining Doge from almost very beginning and thanks to it I got my investment for 4 rigs back in 7 weeks. But due all stated above - I pulled my self from that coin about 6 weeks ago, by selling last coins at 255 satoshi mark :)

I will wait until Doge will hit 0.000005 BTC , sell my Doges that I bought for 0,00000025 = So rich :D

Hi, check this link https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison - they have probably all Amd gpu’s listed.

Solved!

After morning meeting with my tech. department girls, we came to conclusion that cable was no good ! (look first picture)

So what we done is :
Reinstalled windows 8.1, disabled all protection shit they offering on, by default, turned off updates and so on …
Catalyst 13.9, latest ADM SDK, Cgminer, Cgwatcher, Trixx

And since my missing Gpu happens to be in PCI-E 1 slot ,so I did research about it. Eventually there is solution to force windows to “monitor” that slot constantly, which can be achieved by “short circuit the slot”, which works as many useres confirms. But however it scares me to burn down da house, with such experiments :)
So all it came up with adding non powered riser to PCI-E 1 slots instead of powered that was there since rig beginning. And now all seems work as charm, apart that 1 gpu is Little slower than the rest four. But honestly - I don’t care atm :D

P.S. 5x Sapphire R9 280x Vapor x uses 1336W, that’s according to my socket meter readings. Its under volted by Trixx to 1112v. I believe it will take a Little less in the future after I receive more non powered risers and increase the distance between cards, and reduce heat (so fan’s will draw less).

Thanks again for all your help guys .

Doubt it, as 4x R9 280x Vapor x rig is using 990w-1010w according to my watt meter. GPU’s lightly underclocked with Sapphire Trixx to 1087v.
Will see how Silverstone 1500w PSU behave when it arrive.

Would love to buy it, but I’m concerned about customs in Norway… Maybe Svennand can advise me? :D

This is bad … 24h later I’m still in same poopoo :'(
Have tested many amd catalyst versions, SDK versions, have turned on and off some setting in bios, downloaded 10 :d cg mienr versions ( well 5 more likely), added extra rams, moved the last gpu that was on board to powered riser, shouted on my three guinea pigs ( they hate me ) and NOTHING SEEM TO WORK ( at least caps working :D )

Still same crap : unplug, plug back gpus = 5 visible, start cgminer with .exe without any .conf or .bat = working ( but you know how good hash is at default). S, W = fresh .conf file . Adjusting to “normal” values = bang, and either freeze or cgminer off. And 1 of Gpu’s also - not visible anymore …

Would go with 4 Gpu’s option BUT, have 2 extra Vapor x left and cannot build 1 more rig (even when 1 more Silverstone PSU is otw) because its sold out, and not sure do I want another headache fro running 2x290 and 2x7970 :((( Damn it!

So now managed to get 5gpu’s back, started cgminer with lower then x4 gpu’s settings and got : Amd driver stop responding - and pc wnet frozen bananas …

Weird, not the 5th gpus not disapearing, but I cannot start cgminer, as it freezes it self, I trying to enter pool addreess - and getting that : amd driver stop responding …
Well finally, after 5 or so crashes with cgminer 5th gpu has disappeared. 4gpus running at 750 hash wash… Will blame Mobo and give up. Thanks for trying to help.

Nut2pools way to go :D Switched from others since :

1.Workers alarm are more or less accurate (as from another pool was getting alarm 5h+ late :D )
2. Pool always on, website works as charm
3. Automated payout email message is so sweet :)

Downside : 3% fee - but that’s the way the cookie rolls, as running servers cost, not to mention issues arising here and there …

Back to bloody rig, as still fighting over 5 GPU’s :D

Thanks, will try it. :)

Adding extra rams tomorrow, will see if any better will be

Thanks all for help. My psu is coolermaster 1500w, don’t remember exact model as I’m in bed already. Mobo is seing 5 GPU’S, and I can customise them via Trixx. But problem Is only when cgminer kicks in. Will try add rams tomorrow.

Watching at 2 rigs with same hardware, one is on win7 (catalyst 13.9) and another is win8 (catalyst 13.11)
Conf. files is same
Windows 7:
752-755 kh/s
752-755 kh/s
752-755 kh/s
649-666 kh/s

Windows 8:
753-756 Kh/s
753-756 Kh/s
665-720 Kh/s
753-756 Kh/s

Looks like windows8 is better a litle bit :) Will install win8 in first rig to, on Sunday. And will post update.

Hey peeps, I trying to make 5 gpu rig, but have a problem :

After installing Windows 8 and all drivers, amd sdk , making gpu allowance 100 and all other steps - I starting Cgminer . And off course it freezes and crashes . After the crash 5th gpu disappearing … Restart changes nothing, and only way to regain 5th gpu is to disconnect and connect back to mobo. Thought its running fine on 4 gpu’s.
But than same happening again. I was trying with 3.4 and 3.7 cgminers, and also 13.9 and 13.11 beta Catalyst. No luck at all …
Mobo : x79a-gd45 plus
CPU : Intel Xeon E5-2603 v2
Ram - 4gb
Gpu : x5 - Sapphire R9 280x Vapor x

Damn… Installed 4Th gpu, and have same problem as yours. My hardware :

Mobo : x79a-gd45 plus
CPU : Intel Xeon E5-2603 v2
Ram - 4gb
Gpu : x4 - Sapphire R9 280x Vapor x
Psu : Corsair AX 1200i

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Any help would be much appreciated and probably rewarded :

Not sure how much it similar to yours problem but : I was having 3rd gpu DAmn slow like 100-250 mh/s. Was banging head all over forums, and after all work with settings, swapping gpus - was same shit. So i gave up. Unplugged monitor and left it. After 20 min or so I connected back, and at my surprise all 3gpus was ar 750mh/s.
So now what’s happening : when I restarting pc and have display connected i have 1 gpu very slow, and it’s usually not the one that display is connected. After unplugging display, it’s getting back up. When connecting display back sometimes speed of 1 gpu drops, sometimes no.
Sent from android while reinstalling windows, due crashing it with 4th gpu added :-)
Edit : i running R9 280X vapor x, with Win7 x64

Thanks for comments!
Well, after looking at MB, I’ve ordered only 3 VGA’s. Not going to use any risers, at least for the moment.
I will use mid tower. Keeping side open is not an issue. Sound is not an issue. Temperature… Well, it will be standing next to my air conditioning unit, so I think it should be OK…
However all of it will arrive only for the next year as VGA’s are pyre-order for 27th december…

My mobo has 5 pci-e slots but without risers I’m only able to fit x2 R9 280X vapor x.

Have a look [url=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281224024541?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649]here[/url]

They are in his hand, he’s willing to do deals on larger quantities to bring the price down, and even offer to except cryto as a payment method! Once you have them do the power mod if needed

UM

£15 for a piece??? They all go numnuts … I understand that demand increases value, but 7-10x times ordinary price is a rip off!

If anybody has ideas where the risers are actually available, please let me know…

Just ordered x50 from EBay with express DHL delivery for £124, not powered as powered not from £30 and up per piece :D

Try to start by pressing cgminer.exe file? To see if its even starts that way.
