wow... cant believe this but guess what  Roll Eyes

I gonna guess you have done something embarrassingly simple to fix your problem that you don't want to tell us and you got your shit working.

I am going to guess that it was the over-volting.

If so, plz send 10 btc to 139aeAB5jGeHJhwhWFrJtwTkSmSxeomt5o  Grin

If not, let us know what it was.

so this whole time i thought the v for these was 1.125 (probably because of all the other cards i have that arent 5970's)

and i should've known this, but once i seen u post 1.05v i was like Yuuuup! (Dave Hester like)


sure enough.... 370m/h's

smh...

okay, let me set all this up n build some btc's back up since i just sold a bunch at 4... n u'll have ur donation to get this going  Grin

10 btc's soon, and 10-20btc's in due time haha

yeah same cards but didnt get them from newegg.com

and payed 500 for them  Undecided


still tho, i had them at 400 easily on win7 which doesnt make sense to me as to why i cant get them back to that now...

yeah just tried them at that setting n still no budging them past 330m/h

i even tried to take 1 card out just to see if it'd push 2 5970's past that n still nothing...

is the voltage set higher? i got them at 1.125

All of my voltages are stock at 1.05v. You may have purchased cards with crappier GPUs. Would these cards happen to be the $300 deals from newegg.com?

anyone running BAMT with 3 5970's

what is ur current mh/s per gpu?

im only getting 305 mh/s atm... wondering if thats as high as they will go, i was pushing 380-400 per gpu in win7 with MSI AB...

if u are getting anything near the 400mh/s i'd like to know what is needed to be done to get them there.

If a solution is presented to me, i will provide btc's in return for the helpful insight  Grin


305 mh/s seems low to me, so any help would be great, or reasoning as to why im only able to get them to that.

First you need to check what clock your card are running at,  often time the GPU will fallback to 550mhz for a second when VRM are overheating.

I've two on a rig doing 368 (x4) at 800mhz,   The link from 800mhz to 368 scale linearly with any 5870-clock,

Do you use phatk2 ?, did you apply all fixes ?

i have them at 800mhz on my 5970s

running phatk2+all fixes  Undecided

maybe its too much to have 3 5970's on 1 1300w?





I run my 3 5970 rigs with 2 1000w PSUs and they were a little finicky at first. I run mine at 825/500 and get about 370Mh/s per core.

Keep it real
No just any USB thumb drive, I have a gigabyte 990FX board, and BAMT will not boot, apparently due to gigabyte not liking usb drives with multiple partitions as noted in this thread..  just wondering if anyone has come up with a fix, I guess I could just do up pxe or something but id rather not use actual sata hard drives..

I could never get BAMT to boot on an MSI motherboard.  Nothing I did worked.  I don't think it is a gigabyte issue maybe a BIOS/firmware/chipset issue. 

I had the same issue with MSI for a little bit, just had to get the BIOS updated.

Anyone been able to fix the issue of usb drives with multiple partitions not working on gigabyte boards? 
Multiple partition ? you mean Sandisk U3 ?   You can usually make it a regular USB with their software,

I'm telling you it has nothing to do with Gigabyte, I have about 8 BAMT rig with Gigabyte board.  Never has this issue with any board.

Hello all BAMT users,

I would like to request that we now start a bounty to have cgminer integrated into BAMT as cgminer now has an rpc interface per this thread -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/completed-request-for-an-rpc-capable-fork-of-cgminer-155-btc-pledged-and-paid-52466

I will start the bounty with a 30 btc pledge. I am not sure about the exact specifications of the integration, so if others would like to spec something out, I would appreciate it. I would like for the OP to ultimately host the patch that this upgrade would entail. Maybe he would like to do this work also?
+9

 Total: 39 BTC

I'll do 6 to make it a nice round 45 BTC

Awesome!  Cheesy

Keep them coming.
