Well I measured amps & volts. Remember the two legs of 240V circuit in US wiring are out of phase so to read current you need to clamp just one conductor.
They make adapters like this:
http://www.service.kleintools.com/Marketing/Catalog_Imagery/69400_ICON.JPG
but I have the rigs connected to a PDU using C14 to C13 cables and I doubt anyone makes an adapter so I modified one power cable which I use for testing only.
Did you take power factor into account when you measured volts and amps separately? I'm running at PF about .9 so maybe that caused the difference if you measured different ways for 120 vs 240.
I will be using enermax platimax 1500W, i think 1 could take 5 cards, but for now it will be 4 per rig because i didnt order pcie 1x to 16x extenders..
5x 5850
2,06 MH/s / Watt -> 371MH/s @ 180Watt
2,06 MH/s / Watt -> 371MH/s @ 180Watt
Ok then its all fine if you can run 5x7970 on extenders without molexes then i can do 4 with np 
I have asus sabertooth 990fx mobos with four pcie 16 slots, i guess it will work, if not i report here something got fried 
I tried your volt/freq but for me it crashes, what manufacturer is your 7970, Sapphire (i got sapphires..) or something else ?

xfx will do pics
we should move this to the 7970 thread, this is for Mh/J

jjiimm can you post core voltages at which you got these frequencies of your cards?
And what do you mean by high 70's? 78?
And what do you mean by high 70's? 78?
The volts are listed with the clocks.. 1.143 and 1.125 Please do not take my volts as the 'optimum' I do not follow a very scientific approach to arrive at these numbers..
Ah lol somehow i didnt see the voltages
Well if its stable then its good enough will try em out, what brand 7970 u got?
edit: Do you use pci-e extenders? With or without molexes?
Im asking cuz im waiting for extenders to setup 4x 7970 rigs, but i bought ones without molexes so i wonder if im gonna have to put them there myself..

Care to share with us that magic solaris or whatever it is called server that does 10 GPUs in one mobo ? Pics would be nice
Thanks !
I can't even get one rig stable with three 5970's and 2 seasonic gold 750watt joined with a lian li connector
Worse case scenario ... ebay the 2x 750 (or try these forums) and buy a single 1200W. 1000W is all you need but 1200W gives you the option to expand to 4x5970s.
a silverstone 1200 will NOT run 4 5970's overclocked to 820. a seasonic 1250 will
Dat:
in reference to the 10 gpus it has 2 mobos and 2 operating systems.. . I read somewhere that solaris will load Xnumber of gpus?
Quote
my new rig(or is it 2 rigs joined by a common psu) I will be easily able to do this..
it is 10x7970 3psu's 6790 Mh. I will calculate the watts tonight.

Sounds like 1 PSU per mobo and a third for some of the cards. Good idea actually.
IT IS:
power 220V
Psu's 3 seasonic 2x1250 1x650
mobos 2
7970 10 (5 each mobo)
the 1250's are powering 4x7970 + mobo + hd
the 650 is powering 1 7970 on each mobo
#1 clocks 1143 volts 1162/685 core/mem
#2 clocks 1125 volts 1125/685 core/mem
Mhash #1 3453
Mhash #2 3340
total 6790+
uptime, 170k accepted shares..
The rig(s) are still up and stable, albiet running a little warm for my tastes (high 70's)

Jesus, Jimm is the king of multiple psus. I can't even get one rig stable with three 5970's and 2 seasonic gold 750watt joined with a lian li connector and he just uses f'in paper clips to short the 24 pin to make his work.
There must be some major power fluctuations or issues at my brother-in-laws house where these rigs are or something. Extenders maybe? Hell I don't know, but Jimm is crazy.
I'd be happy to get this rig stable:
3 5970 at 800/300
MSI 890FXA-GD70
sempron 145
2 x Seasonic 750 watt gold psus with connector
2 Gb ram.
open case on pci e x16 powered or unpowered extenders(I have both)
linuxcoin on 16GB flash drive with cgminer.
oh well, maybe someday.

I didn't notice this. IIRC nobody has gotten more than 8 GPU working due to limits in AMD drivers. This includes both windows & linux, 32 bit and 64bit. At one time AMD had a 4 GPU limit on windows but thankfully fixed that.
