Having been offline for a time, I have a lot of catching up to do on this thread. Two things to reply to posts on the (current) last page are that:-
1) I will be writing a comprehensive guide for XMG mining on Windows.
2) I will be releasing a new XMG mining suite for Windows in due course and this will include the option to run the miner windowless (along with a desktop icon to stop the windowless miner, which might otherwise be a bit of a problem).
I have just put together a new mining rig. We are talking AMD 9590. The speed of this CPU is staggering. The heat from this CPU is staggering. I have already overclocked it to just over 5200 MHz which gives 122 Kh/s with the XMG miner under Windows 8.1 but I can't maintain a safe core temperature at this speed even with a massive water cooler and fans running max rpm. Anybody got any liquid Nitrogen that I can play with?
This new rig has been named "Wolf" in honor. Thanks man.
hi spexx
you dont need nitro you can try this fans

great performance though.
i overclocked 8320 at 5014/1.58vcore hot as hell on water and one same core always failing after hour of prime blended.
can you send me your hash non overclocked 9590 when you have time.
cheers
I have already considered taking Wolf to work, where we have a dry/chilled room at 3 to 4 degrees C
The Pub just down the road has a nice cold cellar too
I thought about posting a pic of Wolf, but there is nothing to see. It is black. The case is black. The bezel on the DVD/RW is black. The mobo is mostly black. The cooler is black. The graphics card is black. The RAM is black. The PSU is black. All the cables are black. The fans are black. Even the bloody case screws are black. The only things not black are the LEDs. I could install some black-light LEDs instead
I had to use a torch for most of the time that I was assembling it and I am not joking either. I could post up a pic of the torch.
Right now I have a problem. The mobo (ASUS Sabretooth 990FX R2.0) has a faulty network interface. I got this mobo cheap in an Amazon Warehouse Deal but it was supposed to be perfect. Only the software CD was missing - not a problem since it can be downloaded. I complained and got a refund of twenty quid - about 20 percent off what I paid. Cool. A network card will cost me six and a half quid delivered and I can use up the one PCI slot which would otherwise go unused forever. This does mean that I have to wait a few days for the card to arrive before unleashing this beast on the mining pools.
I will run a benchmark on stock 4700 MHz (w/o turbo boost) and another on 5000 MHz (equivalent to turbo boost) for comparison. It will run at 5000 all day in a warmish room.
