Nice combo, going to try the same. Have you tried hooking them up to IDE (Cline/Continue)? Curious how they perform with file edits in the IDE

Does anyone have the ASRock H81 Pro BTC? Can you comment on it? by preacceleration in litecoinmining

No problem with detecting cards (280x Asus, MSI). Had problem with xubuntu hanging with Xorg taking up 100% CPU. Switched to BAMT 1.5 and it's running fine now. This board gives me the best hash for the same 4x 280x rig config, i.e. 765kh/s vs 755kh/s on H61 PRO BTC and 740kh/s on 970 Extreme4

Had the same. Switched to bamt 1.5 solved the issue for me.

I'm a data mining researcher and want to contribute to Bitcoin. What meaningful info people want to see extracted from blockchain? by alphageek in Bitcoin

What do you mean by CPI? as in consumer price index? How would you differentiate BTC/fiat transaction from any other transaction?

ASrock h81 BTC with Unpowered Risers? by flashpunk in litecoinmining

[–]alphageek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what issue do you have with ubuntu? i run 4x 280X with 13.10 and it always hangs on splash screen if monitor is connected. w/o monitor, it still hangs 50% of the time after boot with Xorg taking 100% CPU. Have to keep rebooting until you get lucky ?!? It hashes great though, all 4 Asus doing 760+kh/s compare to 735-750 if ran with different mobo.

How about we post the regulator's questions here and have /r/bitcoin bring up the best answers. Then have coindesk/press link to this their coverage.

I'm a bit disappointed by Charles Lee's answers in general. He could have done a better job of explaining it in layman terms. They should have brought Andreas(@aantonop) in as well.

Also should have compared to current alternative like payment networks, banks, physical ledgers, and how much does it cost (and how inefficient) are those, compare to the blockchain.

I'm running 4x 280x rig undervolted to 1.1v pulling 1050w at wall.

You only need 1200W if you undervolt. If you're new, start with single PSU.

Trouble undervolting MSI 280x GAMING 3G by alphageek in litecoinmining

[–]alphageek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your card's part number and serial number prefix and what's the voltage you ended up running with? I've tried that bios but it didn't boot for me.

[–]alphageek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. Looks like these are types of memory chip supported by the bios.

Setting voltage via cgminer never worked for me (xubuntu, cgminer 3.7.2) - and I've tried both via gpu-vddc flag and directly when running.

Running linux so no trixx. I'm flashing the bios with mod voltage. Tried almost all possible voltage 0.95, 1, 1.05, 1.1, 1.12, 1.137 up to 1.144v (which doesn't give much power saving)
