Daytime (windows open)...

810/180 @ 1.05v = 370 Mh/s

Nightime (windows closed)

755/180 @ .99v = 342 Mh/s

Try to keep temps under 70c and fans below 65%...

Already replaced the fans and reapplied TP on 2 of the 3 cards...

Linuxcoin always worked better for me than BAMT

Now my 5970 stay at 770/150/1.0 stable with 42% fan and 60C at outdoor temp 10C

My 5970 that has been running since June: 68.5C / 65.0C, 100% Fan, 830 / 280 and 825 / 280 at 1.05 volts.

My 5970 that has been running since this January: 54.5C / 51.0C, 90% Fan, 810 / 280 and 830 / 280 at 1.05 volts.

I want to get cgminer running with autofan and autogpu again, but phoenix was easier with BAMT.

man, don't be so lazy you just need to type 4 lines in BAMT.conf

It's more than that. When I setup cgminer, the rig was really unstable. Even with stock clocks. Better to just use phoenix and have no more downtime,

that's odd, my experience is the opposite. Phoenix was utter crap for me giving me like 30% rejects, when i started using cgminer it all became stable

With BAMT that is.

between 800/193 and 850/193, stock voltage, in water cooled system, temps always under 50oC, in other one, highest I've seen is 72oC, fan maxes out at 75oC, hasnt gotten that high yet. avg fan speed probably around 50%

I have been running some of my rigs @ 1.00V. Nice drop in power consumption. As FPGA miners start making the price/difficulty ratio to fall (network gets more efficient) I think the 5970s are a great card because you can keep dropping voltage (and clocks) to boost efficiency and expand their longevity.

The bad news is that you make less gross hashes the good news is that you can keep mining even with really old hardware.

man i never thought about that before, what is the lowest (highest?) undervolt you have achieved? and at what clocks?

5970s undervolted mostly because of fear of overheating or sudden death

core: 750Mhz
mem: 250Mhz
Vddc: 1.000V
Temp: 66ºC
Hashrate: 690MH/s

i have one that won't mine at 750 core so i leave it at 725, the rest is the same , oh the hashrate drops to 666MH/s

Now I have fixed a problematic pci-e extender, my 5970 can run 800/300 at stock V under 55c (open case temp 5c) for 40% fan, but I only push it to 97%-98%

We are bees, and we hate you.

Mining @ 820/300, getting ~370Mhash per core. Stock volts.
For OEM cards, they stay pretty cool. 40% fan, core temps hover around 59-63 degrees...

I think the voltages will be the important part going forward to save energy costs... hoping to get some comments from the D&T 5970 expert: how low do you think I can push down the V with mh above 700?

I have a few of these 4x5970 rigs, so I thought I would take the one in the warmest spot to lower the V and hashrate to see what Mh/J I could get.

I have 2 of them on killawatt meters.

this one is at 725/300 0.99V ~2.56 Mh/watt (1032watts) will report back stability.

edit: damn 3rd card always runs hot. ebay purchase. arrrgggg

860mhz core 300mhz mem - 1.075v - 71*C - ~100*C VDDC

i can do 900/300 at 1.125v but the VDDC temp hits 120 and resets voltage = crash, with some cooling i could do better.

My 5970 never runs stable above 750MHz at stock voltage, now I even back to stock frequency of 725Mhz, the longest run is about 2 months, always below 65C

2 cards with cores at 805 MHz, 3 cores at 1.012 V and one core at 1 V. Fans at 60% and temps at 70C and 57C.

I have a few of the OEM/unbranded 5970s. Im not crazy about them. Some ran 800, others 820-850. Stock volts. 330 hash per core. Fans 55%. Temps 80. One of them stopped working completely. I wont buy OEM equipment any more. Asus or sapphire only.

well, I'm having a hard time controlling the fan. It's an XFX model and I've updated the BIOS which does allow fan control but it's pretty hit and miss. MSI Afterburner and CCC and even CGMiner can control the fan by %, but whatever I set it to, GPU Z still shows the fan at 30% and RPM 4500.

I do have a spare stock cooler for it so if it dies I'll just replace the cooler.

Probably wont be buying another one and I'll just get a 7950

your going to replace a 5970 with a 7950?.. tell you what, i will buy and a 7950 and trade you
