I found the problem. *slaps head* I wasn't looking at the right places. Anyhow, now theres a new problem. The polcbm is taking up all the computer resources and the computer can't take it. Can someone verify this? I'm @ 100% right now and sometimes Windows crashes

I have just setup 2x5970 on my windows. I can't find the 2nd fan control (it only show for 1)

I have a monitor plugged into each card and I OC the first (w/ Fan control) to 850 Mhz as per Hardward comparison. I don't have dummy plugs. I can't find the 2nd fan control. Or does that 1 control sets the speed for both cards? can someone help ? I'm only getting 1.2 Ghash/s
0. 290 Mhash/s
1. 280 Mhash/s
3. 340 Mhash/s
4. 290 Mhash/s

I'm using a 850 W PSU on Win 7 32-bit. I'm having trouble installing x64. They are internally xfire on themselves but not over both cards. Can someone please help?

Are the cards getting enough juice?

Antec HCG 900W 80Plus Bronze.

Is it good enough?

Hi all,

I have a machine with 2x5970 cards .
I'm using LinuxCoin and phoenix miner with deepbit pool.
I run 4 pheonix miners using the following command:

./phoenix.py -u http://user:[email protected]:8332/ -q 6 -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

With DEVICE going from 0 to 3

When I only run devices 1,2 and 3, each run on 305 MHash/s
When I add device 0, It runs on 305 MHash/s but the rest drop to somewhere between 220 and 290

I've increased the fan speed to 70%, and the temperatures seem fine (less than 76 Celsius).
I've used aticonfig --lscs and saw that Crossfire seems to be disabled.

Do you know why I can't get all devices to run on 305 MHashs/s ?
