Amd 280x bitcoin
Yeah I had something like that too! Or well I think it was 6 or 7 x then s plus some s etc. The good old days of mining it seems like an eternity ago when ASICs were still only theoretical and there were about 10 coins in total! Exactly, I actually dropped out mid just when scrypt-ASICs been on the market for a few months if even that.
Yes but I still think I would have been better off spending the same amount of money on buying BTC and just using it to buy altcoins on the exchanges when they were cheap.
I mined BTC back in but quit cuz my cousin told me I'd get fucked yada yada yada, I was 15 and stupid as fuck. Then I started out with 0. I'm trying to do the same right now but it's impossible nowadays since people are getting scammed by devs all the time: Yes I think it is a lot harder to make money now!
I wish I had just saved my bitcoins from early in the day instead of putting them in all kinds of crap. Live and learn I suppose! Steemit is the way to go imo, right now my active post is a bit slow but hopefully it will wake up later haha. I pulled all my assets out from cryptos mid 14's, I burnt them - fast. I could have bought decent cars, furniture and rent a good place but nah I wasted it haha. Adjusting voltage may cause damage to your computer if not handled carefully.
Always monitor temperatures, if the temperature is too high it may damage your components. Learn how to stress test if you're mining you can use this as stress test You need a good PSU that will be able to handle the extra power demand.
Here's a wattage recommendation site. This is the software you need to overclock, monitor and stress test your graphics card. Overclocking software, choose one of these they are ranked of my taste: MSI Afterburner , 2. Asus GPU Tweak , 3. Sapphire Trixx Stress test software: Overclocking Always keep your x under 90c. Stress test with either FurMark or start mining.
Remember to keep an eye at temperatures when stress testing! At this voltage you should higher your core clock until you crash, then lower the core clock until your graphic card is stable. Then adjust memory clock with MHZ until stable.
Congratulations, you now have a stable overclock at mV core voltage, probably a core clock at around and a memory clock at around Authors get paid when people like you upvote their post. The voltages are a bit different… but everything else is identical.
Can anyone educate me? I think core clock, memclock, tc , g 2, and w So with those exact same settings though the Dual-X does really poorly. I have two Tri-X and they both can do with those settings under Linux. Previously, i had core clock, memclock, tc , g 2, and w and the Toxics ran at stable. Have been all over the settings and found that the best settings for a provided you can keep it in a cool enough environment are eng mem I 20 powertune Powertune is the biggest cause of high temp, and I have to adjust it down during warmer days to keep cgminer from shutting down.
I would go with one of these cards: The guy in this thread really knows what he is talking about. Can you make a picture speed proof? I installed a rig with 3 x cards, I am lacking the Ohm resistors at the moment. All other settings and hardware are the same as in the Linux guide. I am still tweaking settings, of coure… but largely the rig has been running stable for days now without the Ohm resistors or other dummy plugs. I can say that without dummy plugs my rig s seem to run fine in Linux.
Running 9x HIS R9 x. The rest of the config mentioned in this article is right on. Temps stay between C without addition of extra cooling. Average temperature room on a large shelving setup. If this helps anyone, I am using 6 cards two w power supplies on a 15amp circuit in my house. This is useful when calculating your power usage and cost. Slightly off topic but worth mentioning for newbies…dont use cheap surge protectors or power strips. Unless you like the smell of hot plastic. Even rated to 15amps…some cheap power strips dont do well with watts rolling through them.
That would be watts or. That should clear things up…. Each outlet in the house is a v 15amp outlet. Every kilowatt is 8. But my breakers dont pop. So the three cards per power supply are using less than watts…less than the maximum possible. I recommend still using the w power supply for every 3 cards however. Shorting yourself will cause crashes. This seems to add up with two months of electric bills.
First 3 days of the month of mining at current exchange rates…covers the electricity. I was just giving a base line for new miners to start at. Hoping to help in the purchasing process.
The settings in the article are accurate to get close to Then play with the core clock until you get what you want. For finetuning you should use thread concurrency. You can find a detailed description here: I know, the docs are for sgminer but work for cgminer too.
I can go past if I up the juice a little. I like to use cgWatcher works with cgminer AND sgminer , to see a little bit more statistics. You can combine it with cgRemote costs a little, but I really like it.
This happens to blocks and then it transfers I assume to the work on such an orphan block. It may be possible you have had this happen. Some people have definitely been cheated by the operators of certain pools. Found this out the hard way too. Got those settings from to manual over here and after some googling. Checked with sensors tab in GPU-Z. Does it mean you did it with Sapphire Trixx? As the maecky above suggested? Do you save the settings to a profile, or also do something else to Hardcode the new lower voltage?
How do you do it for multiple cards too? They are voltage locked from a software stand point, but you can lower the voltage using the BIOS trick that CryptoBadger describes. On a side note, I finally sprung for a fourth card and as per recommendations on this comment board, got the powered 16X to 1X riser cable for the 1X PCIe slot and it works like a charm!
I used VCCD settings in the. You need to do it for both cards in the software. I need to set the Trix software at every startup. It will only hold the voltage for the first card. The second one I need to do it manually. I am trying to get a mining rig set up and am coming across some problems.
Sorry if these questions have been asked before but here goes. These two cards are on the board in the 16x Pci-e slots. I have read that people are able to get 6 cards running off this mother board but I cannot even get 3 so far.
Also, after reading I am worried that even if I get another w psu to power the other 3 cards that this will be too much energy draw coming from one power point. Are the riser cables powered? I use the unpowered 1X risers on my 16X slots and they work fine, but I had to get a powered 1X riser for the 1X slot.
Most of this is hear say though, you might have good luck! The riser cables are powered yes. I have read that to get them to work properly you are better off having them powered from a seperate psu.
That was news to me. Do you really think I would need dummy plugs? Why would two work and not the third if this was the case? I actually think it somehow might be video card drivers.
Every time I fire up the machine my driver crashes and recovers. Last night I noticed the the third card was hashing very slowly I might add but once the drive crashed and recovered I got nothing. In the past, the drivers have crashed and recovered prior to me being able to start mining. With basic settings i have theese tested: MSI h61, Celeron g, 2gb ram. I got this website from my friend who shared with me about this website and now this time I am browsing this web site and reading very informative content at this place.

Undervolting and Power Consumption First, the X is essentially a re-branded , which means they can be undervolted using VBE7 and the method I previously outlined for the Cgminer Settings and Performance These are early test results, but they should get most of you up and running with acceptable performance.
The best results I saw were with the following cgminer settings: January 22, at 8: January 23, at 5: January 24, at January 23, at 6: January 24, at 9: January 25, at 6: January 27, at January 28, at 5: January 28, at
