Topic: [WTS] 5 Mining Rigs @ 4x 6870 cards @ 1.2GHs (Read 2429 times)
$800 each shipped ground to the US. Any takers? Maybe I will part them out if I can't get any takers on complete rigs.
650 each plush shipping, I will buy 5, to mid PA
I'd be interested in one, perhaps two, setups minus gpu's if you go this route.
1200 for all of them.
I will throw in a few ounces of silver too.

$600 per rig plus shipping. That's what it costs me to build a 1.2GH rig.
You can't buy 1.2GH/s worth of cards for $600
Easily can be done. Shop harder.
I felt compulsed to throw in my .2c here and say 1.2gh/s for $440 is easy enough. 5830's are $100 each plus shipping all over the place.

Maybe not new (well, not since BensOutlet.com's $140 for brand new 5870s), but anything goes on the used market.

I'm at 525w @ the wall for all of my 4x6870 rigs, and that's with the 100% cpu bug.
Don't let anybody know what CPU, voltage/OC settings, or MH/s you're at or anything.

I have a Kill-a-Watt on 2 of the rigs.
I am clearly not getting the 2.3Mh/w that quattro claims is possible, but I am within the examples on the wiki. I know I could tweak it a lot more to save a few watts here or there, but I am motivated by stability. I found something stable and stuck with it.
Rig 1: 1.197GHs - 1,371,626 shares since GUIMiner Update
Rig 2: This doubles as my gaming machine and not for sale
Rig 3: 1.214GHs - 575,707 shares since last reboot
Rig 4: 1.196GHs - 1,369,556 shares since GUIMiner Update
Rig 5: 1.242GHs - 1,424,775 shares since GUIMiner Update (This rig has 3x 6870 and 1x 5850 - 6870s are running 299.4 Mhash and the 5850 is running at 344.4 Mhash) 803 watts at the plug
Rig 6: 1.203Hs - 1,378,239 shares since GUIMiner Update 721 watts at the plug

Rigs with 4x 6870s set up properly get 2.3 MH/w and are easy to keep cool. I haven't touched my Win7 rigs for over 6 months.
he never said that he said hes getting 2mh/watt so lets say a 6850 consumes 150 watts and gets 300mh/s
and 4 x 300 mh/s =1200 mhs or 1.2 gh/s just like in the description
so quit putting words in his mouth
and 4 x 300 mh/s =1200 mhs or 1.2 gh/s just like in the description

Ok now I'm confused.

@quattro, how are you getting an extra gh/s out of your 4x6870 rigs over me? What kind of setup are you running.
Edit: Woops, nvm. I misread MH/w as GH/s.
EDIT: I misread that the same as mousepotato. I knew 600Mh/s sounded like way too much out of a 6870.
Yikes, 6870 uses so much power! Otherwise I would be interested.
You're dead wrong ... in the reference design format, they're the hidden gem of the mining GPUs for both MH/$ and MH/w and availability/reliability. No card beats them, even the 7000 series in terms of both MH/$ and MH/w and availability.
They could be snatched up for the same price as the power hungry 5830s. I was buying batches of 8 cards weekly @ $135 shipped in q1 2011.

6870s are still you're best bang for the buck hands down. Good luck finding a 5850 without the fans that die after a month(BTDT).
Okay, so we know Miner 612 isn't interested... Anyone else? Make an offer for one or a couple. I may let them go cheap to shut the wife up.

Yikes? I am pretty sure they aren't terrible on power (even according to the wiki card comparison).
My 6870's are better on power than my 5850s.

uuuggghhhhh ... 5850 is far more power efficient than 6870.
