I'd love to see what someone's cgminer.conf file for a 5970 looks like. Smiley

I'm trying to learn about all the options in cgminer for a 5970, and I'm a tad bit lost.

Code:
"intensity" : "7,7",
"gpu-engine" : "0-830,0-825",
"gpu-fan" : "10-85,10-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "300,300",
"gpu-powertune" : "0,0",
"gpu-vddc" : "1.050,1.050",
"temp-cutoff" : "95,95",
"temp-overheat" : "85,85",
"temp-target" : "75,75",
Thanks.  How many MH/s do you get with that setup?

Code:
 GPU 0:  73.5C 4344RPM | 380.4/380.7Mh/s | A:94 R:1 HW:0 U:5.00/m I:7
 GPU 1:  70.0C         | 384.3/377.2Mh/s | A:96 R:0 HW:0 U:5.11/m I:7

I'm playing with my rig so I keep restarting cgminer.  I've got another card in the rig; these are just my 5970 GPUs.  It is in a full tower in an air conditioned server room, so your rig might run hotter with these same settings.

Hey jimm, you're running four 5970's on each MSI 890FX-GD70, correct? You're also using two seasonic 750watt gold psus.

I just reset my rigs and used a lian li power supply adapter to get both psus running. I have been able to get three cards going on each rig for now, but I couldn't get a fourth going. I used pcix16 slots 1,3,5,6 like the MSI manual suggested and also tried 1,4,5,6.

I'm using the molex powered x16 extenders from cablesaurus as well.

Any suggestions or tips?

Thanks.

Oh and I have one power supply powering two cards and the CPU with one molex rail connected to two extenders.

The second psu is/was connected to the other two cards and one molex rail to power the other extenders.

3 of the 4 grams are at about 80 degree and one is at 103_108

That's why your fan is running at max...need to lower the GPU temps to <65 to lower the VRM temps to <90c

You're going to burn out that card heh

That I thinks its a glitch BC in afterburner it say 100 percent

I see you have overvolted it (alot) and have the fan at 100%,  may I ask what hashrate your getting?

Better question would be what temps are the VRMs running at...I bet they are smoking with that overvolt and clock increase :/

and do you know how much power your pulling at the wall?

this is an old pic, I use cgminer now, but when I first set these rigs up, I would get 2900Mhash pulling 1190watts at the wall (2 sea sonic 750 gold psu's)

hmm i dont know why you guys are having such hangs heres my gpuz of my one card

something is up with your fan speed...  4500 RPM is like 100%  not 30% as reported..  must sound like a jet engine Smiley

My three 5970s ran OK for a day at 800 engine, 190 mem after the previous OK day at 725/190.  So I upped the engine speed to 820.  After a short while one of the cores hung.  Should I...

(a) Try again with the other five at 820 but the one that hung at 800 (810?); or
(b) Set them all back to 800 (810?) and be happy; or
(c) Something else?

each set of cards is different for me..  I have one rig running stable with them set at 825,  but miner9 will only hold the 800.  still get about 2850Mh from the rig at 800

I didn't think I  could get the mem down to 350, so putting it at 300 will definitely help. I dont think it is the heat of the main GPU that is the problem, I suspect the VRM
