Pulling 365khashs per core with a mild oc.  Don't want to burn out my power supply (even though its rated for 1000w)

Was even thinking of pulling power off the other rails using molex -> pcix 6 pin adapters to reduce load on the individual rails.  Ohms law is such a whore.

Yeah I just got my crossfired second 5790 running.  Have everything running smooth right now getting 1320 ghashs on my 5790 quadfire.  Not horrible, but I'd like to push it up to 1500 from the pair.

Anyone else had problems ocing the AMD HD 5790 (reference boards)?

My other cards are all sapphire and powercolor and they all oc very nicely.

I remember hearing something about crossfire bottlenecking the hashes.  I may be wrong, or it may have been patched by now... just a heads up.

Derp.

Ghashs. Cheesy

My bad.  Just got my second 5970 today... so I've got 2x 5970, a 5870, a 6850 and a 5750 mining right now...

Once I get everything going, configured I should be right about 2.2 ghashs.

I don't know which miner you are using, but I am using guiminer.  There is a spot that says device.  Before I updated my ATI driver only the cpu was listed.  At first I thought 4 Mh/s was good, (maybe for the cpu it still is).  Make sure you have it updated.  Because 2Mh/s is really low.  Don't expect to get anything with that.  Without overclocking my ATI 5770 I get 150-165 Mh/s.

Just to be more specific, if your graphics card isn't appearing, chances are you're missing the AMD APP SDK. If that's the case you can find it at: http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx

Yes sir. If you want to really mine then you'll need a good bit of hardware. I think my day job is just to pay for my hardware addiction now. If I had extra monies I'd invest in ATI like nobody's business! NVidia, sadly, is not where it's at for mining. Sorry China. http://www.crn.com/news/components-peripherals/228000293/nvidias-tesla-gpus-featured-in-new-chinese-supercomputer.htm

You should be getting way more that 1.6mh/s with that card. Sounds like something is wrong with your setup.

Gotta start working on my rep Smiley

Joined a while ago and can't post in the threads I've been watching.

I'm currently running at ~1.6mh per second (would be more if my new power supply didn't start spiking when I oc my 5790 a TINY bit), going to be stepping up to 2.2mh pretty soon.

Like the community.  Dig the purpose of everything.  Maybe a little addicted even.

Currently mining with slush after mining with deepbit for the last few weeks.

I think you can post outside the Newbie forum after five (5) posts + 4hrs of being logged in.

Are you saying your 5970 is only getting 1.6mh/s?  Should be around 800 mh/s, I thought.

And yes, mining is a bit addictive Wink
