Topic: newegg 5830's for sale (Read 3271 times)
Got mine today. Running it at 950/300 308MH/s. Going to push it to 1000/300 for a hopeful 325+MH/s later today. Stock voltage on everything (v1.163) with BAMT.
Mine looked brand new as well. The sata to 6 pin connectors were a nice touch as well. The one issue I had was that my 11.04 live CD refused to function properly with it. There was really bad artifacting and the mouse pointer wouldn't display. I have it running under windows now and at 1000/170 is pulling 316 mh/sec.
All 3 of mine came in and look the same as new. All pulling around 300-320mh/s.
I'm running 10 5830s across two power supplies and the system draws just over 1500 watts. Have a damn hard time achieving greater than 2 MH/W with these inefficient cards 
If your MH/W starts to become a problem you can always start looking into undervolting the cards, i've gone on my 5xxx based mining setup from around 6,1 GH/s and 1,9ish MH/W last summer down to 4,7 GH/s and 3.1 MH/W without changing any equipment. Was pretty much forced into it by my high power costs (0,18$/KWh, silly sweden
then again it kept me warm during the winter! ). Most cards are running at 0.95V while i've got a few random cards that can only do 1,038V and 1,06V due to being non ref cards. On average the 58xx cards can handle around 700 Mhz at 0.95 and the 5770 ive got can do 750ish. Just goes to show what you can do with the 5xxx cards as long as they support undervolting. Might also add that i'm running 80+ bronze PSUs atm so I could even increase my MH/W further. Long live 5xxx cards!
Ordered one the other day, can't wait until it shows up. I am almost at 2GH/s now. Do you guys think it's safe to run three of these on a 750w Single Rail PSU? I used this http://bakkap.free.fr/Misc/wCalc.html and I figured each will need around 200 watts to run.
EDIT: I ordered the 5830 Xtreme version.
yes, if it's a good 750w psu (and if it's built for mining and doesn't have all shitloads of unnecessary peripherals).. they use more like 150w or so EDIT: I ordered the 5830 Xtreme version.

you also arent losing .50c a day in equipment value, like you would if you were using 7970's.
can't really imagine this being much of an issue unless you pay more than 20-30c per kwh, and if that's true, you shouldnt be mining at all

Bleh, no thanks. They hash ok, but they're horribly inefficient vs. 5850/5870/5970. Very good MH/$ though.
in the case of a 5970, the decline in value of the equipment itself would more than make up for the efficiency difference
not sure about the other two
it is in my case - in the same systems the 5830's draw 15 more watts and generate 50 Mh/s less than 5850's.

These just became available again.....had 5 in cart, and then site went down all together.
Edit: Site came back, Order Completed, got (5) for $107.99 each.

I ordered 2 of these. (well the other one that was listed) ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102979 )
One worked, one didnt. Tried in both rigs, all pci-e slots. Never booted. Be aware if you get a bad egg, newegg has a 15% restocking fee, which applies to refund as well. and you pay shipping back. So i ended up paying ~$152 (108 + $18 shipping to me + $12 shipping back + $16 restocking fee) for one.
Which was a crap deal in retrospect. Definitely not doing that again.
Newegg has a 30 day return policy on these. 30 days from order shipped out. Its clearly stated that if you exceed the 30 days (even while in transit, or if they have it and havent processed it yet) you're screwed.
Only buying from here, or new from newegg if i need more gpus in the future. :-(
Edit: One more thing i thought to mention. The one that worked, was EXTREMELY DIRTY. Looks like it sat in a computer for 4-5 months and was not taken care of at all. Dust caked up on almost every component. The non-working one was completely perfect. Looked BRAND new. No fingerprints or dust of any kind. Take that for what its worth.

you must be unlucky - or i am the opposite. 12 arrived yesterday and none could be distinguished from new and all working as expected. an extra nice thing is that they include 2 of the single molex to pci-e power adapters - not the 2 -> 1 type.
although i just looked and they show out of stock again......
edit: actually 1 do have 1 small complaint with the cards - although it may be a software quirk. of the first 4 i've had running 4+ hours their actual fan speed given the same percentage setting and reporting varies by 700 rpm. they are all set for 65% in BAMT/phoenix with the lowest spinning @ 2200 and the highest 2900 rpm. hmmm
I noticed the same thing. Not as drastic though. mine are ~200 rpm apart. 5830 from last year spins @ 3900rpm-3950rpm @ 90%, new one spins @ 3700-3750 @ 90%.
And yea, the backplate of the "dirty" one had 1-2 bent fins on the exhaust portion of the backplate. Straightened them after i sent the defective one back. otherwise (after i cleaned it) i couldnt tell them apart.
I have one coming in tomorrow. I wanted to order three more, but decided to hold off for a little. I then reconsidered and went to buy them, but they sold out. DOT!
I purchased one of these form newegg a few weeks ago, it was in mint condition and worked like a champ.
Since I moved all of my good cards to a dedicated rig this became my gamer/miner card that I put to work while sleeping, been running nightly at about 280 G/h since I bought it, QUIET!!! and error free.

280 gigahash? I'll pay $2000 for that card right now.

I've learned that you have to talk to customer support at newegg to get a refund for things like DOA's. Their system doesn't just automatically waive it. They may even cover the return shipping if I recall correctly.
this. I bought a bunch of 5770's last year and all of them were faulty. running 90c + at stock clocks. filled out an rma and they wanted a restocking fee plus shipping. called em and they took care of everything and gave me a 20$ gift card.
sometimes it pays to pick up the phone. i'll never rma something through the site again.

yes, or invoke the 90 day manufacturer warranty since it was a failure not just a whim return that there restocking penalty is there for.
I have 3 of the extreme due to arrive from Newegg today. I'll update when I get them up and running. I bought 8 diamond 5830 refurbs this month and all were in like new condition except 1 had some dust on the memory chips.The fan and housing where all new. Some had different color coolers and either 3 or 4 heat pipes. All of them work great and OC to 950/315 and do 300mh/s. A good bang for the buck until 5970 become reasonably priced again or 7000 series come down some.
