 Thanks, guys! Don't want to waste my 1.5 tb hdd for dedicated miner. Only one issue remains is a working undervolting app for 6xxx cards under linux.

Thank you very much! Best miner I tried so far!

Setup on Xubuntu 11.04 was easy. Now I need to figure how to optimise my miner.
Xubuntu can be installed on usb stick?

 Sorry for off-topic.

If you want to boot Linux on a USB stick on my GigaByte board it won't work with standard method. The only way I found is to make a Win98 bootable USB stick via HP USB Disk Storage Utility ( http://hp-usb-disk-storage-format-tool.en.softonic.com/ with the DOS files included in some tutorial found with Google). Then you can use Unetbootin or StartupDiskCreator.

But I did follow your tutorial and it was very well written. Thank's!

Yes, if you already use Linux just burn it to your USB stick using StartupDiskCreator if you want persistence (needed for mining).

If you are using Windows then burn it to a CD/DVD or with Unetbootin (make it bootable but without persistence) on a USB stick. Boot Xubuntu with this CD/DVD/USB stick, then insert another stick to burn via StartupDiskCreator included with Xubuntu.

Ok now everything seem fine. I wonder if I should OC or optimise something else? If I want to switch to P2Pool, I only need to reduce intensivity by 1?

Fan speed= 85%
Intensivity= 9
AutoGPU= enabled
GPU0: 5850
GPU1: 5870




Should I leave my new toy alone now?

Yeah, Gigabyte boards don't like to boot from USB with BAMT on them.  It's a known problem.

Strangely the behavior of giga boards seems to vary from model to model and even bios version to bios version so you can get "lucky".  That being said it is one reason I steer clear of gigabyte (I liked them pre-Bitcoin).  I mean bootstrapping is one of those core BIOS functions.  If a BIOS can't handle all supported methods of booting it shouldn't be sold.   Period.
True but I can't really RMA the board since NCIX specify that I can only exchange it for the same model...

You're most welcome. Feel free to ask away here giving your hardware and software details as there are plenty of people who have can be very helpful on this forum who have likely used that combination.
Could not boot BAMT via USB with my motheboard Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3. I then tried LinuxCoin but CGminer with Xubuntu was the best solution for this particular motherboard.

On the side;

I'm beginning to believe that that any form of communication can be reduced to a meme at this point.

Hi folks,

Sorry for cross-posting, but I figured folks watching this thread would be interested.

I just released the first version of a Cacti template for monitoring CGMINER (Summary, Devices and Pools are supported). Details and more sample graphs are available here.

Here are a few teaser graphs:

 Total Average Hash Rate (from MHS av)


Total Hash Rate (computed from Total MH)


Total Utility


Total Work


Total Efficiency (computed from Accepted and Getworks)


Total Errors



Devs

Average Hash Rate


GPU Clock

Nah I get his point. I haven't bashed AMD yet today and it's a great way to start the day.

FUCK YOU AMD.

Okay, I'm going to need you to go ahead and rewrite the ATI linux drivers, m'kay.  There is a nice shiny bitcoin in it for you.   Kiss

lol - yeah right.
Consider about 10,000 of them and someone might be interested ...

WTF is ATT and is it cross platform software with source?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Tray_Tools
 Sadly, It's only for Windows and closed source. But he can be contacted at Guru3d forum or via his mail [email protected].

In other words it uses windows only tricks that won't work on linux. Eventually you will come to the same endpoint that everyone does when asking this same question of me, and so I will have to add this to the FAQ from now on.

There are limits to what overclocking features will work within cgminer as it uses the ATI display library to do the overclocking. While cgminer will allow you to set values outside the bios limits, it does not mean they will work. Some cards will allow it, others will only allow it after a bios flash, and the rest will either reject the value or silently ignore it and pretend it worked. Other tricks that bypass the driver and poke the cards directly will not work in cgminer, and will not be usable in a portable cross platform software way.

that will be fine, and do you want to insert the quad support too?

"Are you talkin' to me?"

Yes, I've already asked for details on what changes in the API, and will have a look at BTCMiner sources as soon as I can get my hands on them. While I don't plan to own these quads soon, I do want cgminer to have the best possible ztex hardware support.
