Topic: BOUGHT A RIG NOT WORKING AT ALL PLEASE HELP (Read 487 times)

First of all use CGminer 3.7.2 or below, or use SGminer 4.0 and above.
Second, your config will only work for 1 card...

Add commas and values for each card for the following variables:
Example: "intensity" : "20,20,20,20",

"intensity" : "20",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "33810",

"gpu-engine" : "896",
"gpu-fan" : "40-100",
"gpu-memclock" : "1450",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "50",
"gpu-dyninternal" : "7",
"gpu-threads" : "1",

As far as your fifth card goes, it could be a faulty riser or you need to short your pcie as shown here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-motherboard-that-require-shorting-pin-a1-b17-for-pci-e-1x-to-work-36061
Might be other stuff but I can't think of any right now.

go on ubuntu 12.04 should be alright then,try to use 5th gpu without riser

bought a £3000 rig

5 x sapphire r9290x
Gigabyte x79 up4 MB and all parts to suit
8GB ram
64 SSD
2 x 1000w Corsair PSU

Running windows 8.1pro

It wont recognise the 5th card for a start (tried entering BIOS and disabling audio but no luck, not sure if I did it right)

Secondly, tried to run 4 cards on cg miner with this config below, all I get is "stratum from pool 0 detected new block", my hash rate is on MH not KH and I while its mining its not mining, if you know what I mean.

I really need someone to team viewer my settings and help me out and im wiling to compensate

Best Matt
