      seasonic x1250 is a really excellent psu for mining!
      will buy more of em, just have to wait for the price to go down.
      it has increased by allmost 20% since last time i bought!

              You mean 760… and not 1 card… 20! ;D ;)

              edit: just seen 1 card drooped to 750 coz that’s the one that still has the monitor on.

              If i bump to 1100mhz i actually get 770+ but it’s not that stable with 4 cards per board.

                      not that happy. the rig crashed after 5-10min (been stable for days before the new settings). had to remove em and now everything is stable again.
                      Do suspect the Enermax psu has gotten damaged though. soo im still really wanting to buy some 7970s

                        If you have stability issues you can simply drop the --gpu-engine down by 10 at a time.

                        I’m off to the shed to build my headless xubuntu miners. Just tried once and got a whopping 2khs out of the cards! :o

                        Attempt 2 coming up…

                          Dont think that is the problem since the computer freezes completly, not the cards that get sick and suck.

                          regarding xubuntu:
                          if you run sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt what does it say?

                            cant remember exactly but it was all as it should be. Picked up all the cards etc.

                            i started getting nonce errors and found that it was some dodgy bit of code in the latest cgminer.

                            What driver versions/cgminer/xubuntu are you using?

                            I tried the latest from the get go and failed miserably.

                              I can’t believe I pulled that n00b trick on the question about CGMiner! I didn’t even pay attention to the screenshot beyond seeing the hash rates! Sorry for the stupid part of the question.

                                lol - no worries. I haven’t come back with a full spec yet as i’m just changing it all. The short versions though…

                                4xGigabyte GV-797OC-3GD
                                1xSeasonic x1250
                                1xGigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
                                and the rest doesn;t matter.

                                Software:
                                win 7
                                cgminer 3.3.0
                                Catalyst 13.1

                                Nothing magical honest. :)

                                    Guys…you get me really thirsty! I just wish I had a 3 Mh/s rig like one of yours. How much did it cost overally? less than 3k$?
                                    I feel lost now with my poor 5850, OCed barely to 400 kh/s.

                                      my 2400khash (4x7950)rigs cost around 1800$ a pop
                                      my ordered 3000khash (4x7970) ordered rig cost around 2400$.

                                      im not satisfied until i exceeds nutnuts hashing power ::)
                                      for people that have money to invest, digital mining is truelly a goldmine.
                                      especially ftc which i do believe will be much more worth in the future.

                                          I don’t know how you guys can afford to do it… I have eight 7950’s running now and the cards alone cost me $3000 Canadian. To say nothing of the mobos, processors, RAM, PSUs, and of course - the electricity. You guys must be independently wealthy already - you hardly need to invest in Feathercoin! ;)

                                            i invested around 4800usd in the beginning
                                            on used cards and such (23 cards og different model, mobo/cpu and so on)

                                            this was i february. after two months of smart mining it was all paid of.

                                            i then sold all the used cards and bought 15x7950, with a reinvesting of around 2500-3000$
                                            also did some changed to my main computer with 7970’s

                                            im earning around 30-40$ pr day counting todays value and substract power.
                                            it will take me around 3-4 months to pay an ivestment down.
                                            id call that a win/win and i do think that the value will rise.

                                            at the end of the day i have alot off kickass hw worth some for repurpose.
                                            and ill make a buck or two:)

                                            hmm want to buy more as im speaking…
