btw , if your thinking of getting asus cards , make sure there on riser ,

i dont like the layout of the bottom heat pip . it sit on top of the Z87 chip , or sata plugs .....also the big 8 mm pip get hot and is soo close to the bother board

Are you talking about V1 or V2 of Asus cards?

All of them . Any card with heatpipe that up and around

I found gigabytes of the best cards . There hear pipe travel along the Pcb .

A good website where to purchase VGA, risers, extension cables...? I already checked on Amazon and ebay but they look a bit too expensive

Hi from Australia.
This is my setup. I have 2 rigs, each with 4 Gigabyte 280X underclocked to 0.950v.
Each rig averages 840watts and has an average WU rate of 2350/m. Gpu engine 910. Mem clock 1500 TC 8192
Getting 2.8WU per watt. I think its set up correctly for efficient mining. Would appreciate any opinions, as im
new to mining, only started 3 weeks ago.

what is WU? and what is your hash rate per card? what os are you using?

I have two HIS 280x, they're solid cards. They've got huge coolers on them, and both average 745-750 clocked to 1080/1500. I did have one that was bad out of the box - ran hot and flaked out, but tbh that's common enough - just RMA it.

Get 800-810kh/s on all of them at 1150/1800.

Cost ~$410AUD(~$365USD) each to buy at local computer shops in Melbourne

the best 280x is the one you can find for retail price.

good luck.

This. I've got the MSI - wanted the ASUS but its still decent.

i have 4 r9 280x Sapphire Dual-X OC version and my hashrates are appauling...what should be the proper cgminer settings...I can't get them above 580 or so...using risers and temperatures on all cards are well below 70. Using latest Catalyst drivers and SDK from ATI all under Windows 8.1. Really struggling here...any all help would be greatly appreciated. Using a Corsair 1200ai PSU and Asrock H81 Pro BTC mobo.

Thank you

Got one 280x Sapphire vapor-x and Asus 280x DCII TOP. I would say the hashrates are pretty much the same (no custom bios just 1050/1080 and 1500)

But when it comes to heat and noise... the difference is day and night Undecided

Asus blows sapphire out of the water so bad it aint funny. ++85c core and +110c VRM's on the vapor-x! Fan noise is also terrible. Mind you i kept them on my normal Fractal R3 case with 5 fans but still. I can run the Asus at 50% fan while staying at 75c full load (VRM max 75). I would get the Asus for rigs without cases and pretty much anywhere if it were in stock. Sapphire Vapor-X if its the only thing you can get your hands on with mandatory undervolting and good overall cooling.

I've two vapor-x and 1 Asus and had been working inside the same room with these.

Finally i placed these rigs inside garage yesterday. the noise was making me crazy. asus was silent as a cat. but the vapor-x screamed the hell outta me

I have a mixture of Sapphire Dual X, Gigabyte and MSI gaming 280x's.
Overall in terms of performance, power usage and price the Dual X comes out on top, especially power usage

See if the EVGA Supernova 1300W or Seasonic X 1250W is more affordable. Either way, check for 1 point reviews on Newegg and Amazon

1 point reviews for the corsair? I can't find them?

Thanks for the tips on the others I'll see what prices I can find.

The Corsair seems even worse. Lots of defective units
