I was so upset when I finally saw this thread and they were already sold out.   

At least I was able to get 8 of the 5850's Smiley

You guys are sick  Wink Shocked
Oh noes!  A 5870 factory exploded in my house!!
If those are going to be running in your house and not a datacenter, that place will be a sauna Grin I hope you have the wiring all up to spec! Cool
It's 9.4 degrees Fahrenheit here (-12.55C) right now.  It's actually much warmer than it usually is this time of year.  I already have 13,200 watts running in the house and it's being cooled by 2 window box fans at their lowest settings.  How outrageous is that?  I have to turn one of the fans up a notch during the day though.  Needless to say, I'll hit a power limit before a thermal one.  I've built sub-panels myself to feed the rigs.  Each are back-fed with 20A breakers for each 2 plug outlet.  The first panel has been running for 4 months and hasn't burned down, so power should be good to go.   Grin

After this though, I'll be using up two full 50A breakers (at 240V) for the sub-panels.  ...much further than this and I wont be able to turn the dryer and oven on at the same time.   Lips sealed  I'll have to look at adding another service.    Wink

What is the MB of choice nowadays? 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157262

I have 3 extra sitting in my DC i'll let go if anyone is interested. They are great for running 5x5870 with extenders. My 5x5870 rig is doing 2175Mh/s.

There's nothing wrong with the 101 BIOS as long as the chip is stable.  If it's running a 101 BIOS and is completely stable under load, you've got a very good chip.  If you need the 107 BIOS, I can send it your way.  I'm sure it's on TechPowerUp somewhere too.

Mine came with the 101 bios, no problems managing clocks manually for mining but haven't tried gaming yet. Where did you guys get the 107 bios? The latest OEM bios is v103 on tech powerup
