for bitcoin I mine with asics with about 250gh/s, no I try multipool scrypt address : stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777
and it only works if I have monitor connected to r9 280 and selected in bios as primary, as soon I select motherboard internal vga for monitor, miner cannot find msi card. I would like to connect monitor on onboard graphics and still be able to mine scrypt. pse help with ideas, tnx

250gh/s looks pretty good  Grin

just plug your monitor via two cables, 1 to R9 2nd to int. VGA.

or use'dummy plug' .. http://www.overclock.net/t/384733/the-30-second-dummy-plug   ... but  its bit complex

cgminer version is 3.7.2
and i installed 2 extra fan and put more of each with this msi afterburner software like frequency and power and get 640mhash/s and 79 degrees

hm..it seems you are mining bitcoin..
Just a friendly reminder, you could get way better result if you mine scrypt coins and sell them for bitcoin...

you're welcome

I saw lots of complaints about overheating these cards ... most of suggestions was to undervoltage it
