Rig stats and pics

ChristianRiesen

I repurposed a few old computers, shockingly getting even 60khash out of some older cpus.

Main effort is my aging 5770 that runs at about 190Khash when I go to itensity 18.

6950 @ 475 Khash and 70Â°Celcius

5770 @ 185 Khash and 58Â°Celcius

Both are previous gaming machines, real mining mobo and gpu’s will follow soon

Is this in in 1 machine or 2? :)
[/quote]

2 machines, an i7 desktop I recovered from the office and the 6950 runs in an Q6600 setup

The 5770 is a twin frozr edition so keeping it cool is no problem

The dedicated mining rig I will set up will be on the AM3+ platform

What parameters are you using for your 5770? I have 2 of them myself in my ‘normal’ pc and getting 120 ~ 140 max out of them.

Thanks for that question :) that was more or less what I created the thread for. I think that a lot of people with the same cards can share information about their settings to help each other achieve the right hash rates and temps.

Sheesh how are you getting 60kash out of old CPUs? :) what software are you using?

Depends on their definition of old. I have some ‘old’ computers lying around for me too. But they equate to like 667MHz Intel Coppermine, Athlon 2.7GHz, Intel Celeron, etc… Although I do have a nice amount of dual core and above rigs ‘spare’ xD
( The only gripe is that the cost to run them way exceeds the shares they’ll make and earn from :P )

Well if I wanted to mine with my CPU what would be the best software to use?

Thanks will read through it when I get home :) I was mining with a CPU before but I got such a low hash and I’m sure that I could get a much better hash with my current CPU.

Nice!

You only changed Intensity to 16? Nothing with thread-concurrency, worksize etc?

Armandoke

nope, all standard 2.1.1.3 settings

nothing changed except for the intensity

Maybe you have a version with less shaders than mine, I think you can verify this with CPU-Z

And that’s a possibility, but I wasn’t aware there are/were two different models/releases of the 5770. o-o

Well that was a certainly an interesting read, the more you know. :)
A little curious as to why 80 shaders are locked down initially, it’s not like the sold this cards at a cheaper price. Hmm.

SpyTec

Current setup
None are headless atm though.
Running cudaminer and cgminer atm.

Machine 1
[b]GTX 560 SE[/b] - 61 KHash/s @ 830 clock [i](get around 90 stable without anything else messing about (could probably get 110KHash/s headless))[/i]
[b]HD 5850[/b] - 206 KHash/s @ 725 clock [i](get 300KHash/s headless)[/i]

Machine 2
[b]HD 5750[/b] - 108 KHash/s @ 900 clock

Im only running 1x HD5850 @ 310 KH/s 8)
[/quote]

Same… I get about 380-390 if I set I18 but then I can’t use the machine. With cpu mining included I get about 410.

depressing when you see pics of people who’ve just bought things specifically for mining. oO

It is a little, especially when I think ‘why can’t I afford to do that’ xD
That aside, I’ve just used my gaming rigs, not brought any hardware specific for mining really. (If I was, I’d of brought 3 x 7950s instead of 2 x 7970s =w= )

I use minerd (pooler/cpuminer from github) on them under Ubuntu. Some old dual core cpus can even score strangely high, probably because they have a higher rate which these days get’s compensated with more cores (and lower clock speed). I run on an old toshiba Notebook, that’s at least 6 years old now with 26K hash even.

These are speeds I read on the accepted messages from minerd, so they are the real ones, not some odd ones some pool s sometimes report on.
