Yeah- those two cards are a bitch- BIOS locked, cannot reflash the shaders- and they refuse to go any higher with any degree of stability :/

Sucks, but given £ per Hash- it's actually better than the more powerful, so I'm a bit philosophical about it.

Might try running them through Reaper- only issue with that is I've set up quite a bit of automation around the CGMiner APIs to restart them when Hash rates drop/get sick/just need their daily reboot.

nice id say you could get a bit more out of server 1 though should be able to break 800mh/s on it

Since I'm in n00b locker, thought I'd run down what I've got (just for lulz).

Ok- 4 miners up and running in a nice aircon'd comms room- and I don't pay for the power, so all good.

SERVER 1:

Intel Core i7 920
12 GB RAM
2 x XFX HD6950
1050 watt Corsair PSU
Hash Rate: 750 Mh/s
Notes: My old desktop repurposed.

Server 2:

Intel Core 2 Duo Quad Core Q6600 (that old)
8 GB RAM
2 x HD 7950 Black Editions
1050 watt Corsair PSU
Hash Rate: 1156 MH/s
First experiment with tweaking the OC on these- and these OC well. Hash rate is above average for a HD 7950- and I've got 5 of these Black Editions, and they rock.

Server 3:

Intel Celeron 2.4 Ghz
8 GB RAM
64 GB SSD
1050 w Corsair PSU
1 x XFX HD 7970
1 x XFX HD 7950 Black Edition
Hash Rate: 1266 MH/s - took a bit of work to get optimal hash rate out of the 7970- now hitting 707 Mh/s, avg temp 66.0 c

Server 4:
Intel Celeron 2.4 Ghz
8 GB RAM
64 GB SSD
1000 w PSU + 750 w Corsair PSU (had to take an angle grinder to the case with a Dremel, and a lot of work- but it's amazing cool running temp, and doesn't look like a bag of crap when in the rack)
1 x HD 6950
2 x HD 7970
Hash rate: 1479 MH/s
God love PCI-E Riser cables

That's my little pool- working on some more experimental stuff coming in the next few weeks. Clocked up good earnings so far- especially as most of the cards are reconditioned (and therefore were a steal).
