My Taichi worked well bios was from May or June I think. I would have been pissed if mine was not working.

I would agree with you but I was able to install an OS all the way thru.. when it booted into windows, I still had the display corruption.. As soon as I swapped out the graphics card to a 1050ti, it went away. I then took each 470 and plugged them in, one at a time, and the display corruption would come back. I put the 470's in my other main desktop build and they booted fine in windows with no display corruption. Swapped out the 1000W power supply with a 1250W XM2 that I had around and bam... both 470's boot up without a hitch.. poop.. lol..
note* the 1050ti I have does not require a PCI-E 6pin connection so it gets its power straight from the PCI-E x16 slot..
am I the only one who got the view 27?
I got the view 27. Kind of like it but i'm pretty confused on where the storage drive is. Looks like its gonna be a pain in the ass to get in there.
yup used each one and same result.. Already have a RMA issued.. and they are sending me another RMA with the PCIe covers too... sucks.. I have to pay for the shipping back but I will pick the cheapest route I guess.. USPS i guess??interesting test.
assuming you tried the other pci-e power cables and same result? Most of these power supplies share a 12v rail - so that's odd (unless the individual cable ends somehow got damaged)
Can you just talk them into getting you a new PSU? Seriously, a PSU would be cheaper for you to buy than to ship the whole PC back???!yup used each one and same result..

just shipping the psu thank god lolCan you just talk them into getting you a new PSU? Seriously, a PSU would be cheaper for you to buy than to ship the whole PC back???!
Or forgo cyberpower and work with the PSU manufacturer warranty directly.
haha - media mail is supposed to be limited to actual "media"IF you have to pay shipping back and don't care about it being quick, try Media Mail. paypal.com/shipnow → select Media Mail
I use that all the time shipping when RMAing items to manufacturers. Delivery takes 4-7 business days.

Mining is picking back up a smidge in profits over the last couple days, so maybe the rx470 value isn't going to fall off the proverbial cliff immediately after all.
This is a sold listing of yours, right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWO-AMD-Rad...619513?hash=item4d5e99ccb9:g:nNUAAOSwf~9ZY9BG
I left you a voice mail, saying that I sold my 2 for $590. NET to Me, Thanks to Craigslist!!
The young college grad (I think) only works part time, and is setting up multiple gaming platforms... 6-7 cards per rig. He's using Claymore.... Of course, I somehow neglected to mention the article I'd sent you the link to, which inferred that as mining gets more difficult, the Radeon cards, and specifically the 470, would fall off a cliff in hash rates, but the 10 series Nvidias, especially the 1080 Ti, would keep bringing home the mustard.
I also bought that 1060 6 gb for $250. He said he's getting about 24-25 MH/S from those, and the 3 gb one does just as well. I'm not sure if he's done any bios mods yet.
For those of us who ordered a MB with built in wi-fi, shouldn't the rabbit ears have been included?
On my rig, the placed the three fans thusly, two on top, and one in front. Only the front fan is an intake. So with the case fan, to which they mounted the radiator, that's three exhaust fans versus one intake. Think I should move one top fan to the front?
Another thing, as the fans aren't plugged into the MB, but to Molex connectors, will they be variable speed? I just got home, and haven't loaded an OS or done anything but turn it on to more easily determine the fan directions.
That's my cousins auction. He's selling six more and has sold four so far. My ebay id is archaeantrader
The wifi antennaes should have been included I think -- if your m/b included built in wifi
For the fans - ideally you'll have positive pressure on a case with dust fitlers. That is more intake than exaust so that the intake is all done through the dust filter and dust isn't pulled into the case via the other openings. What case did you get again? As to fan arrangement - generally speaking front to rear/top is ideal. heat rises - don't fight the heat's natural convection impulses by trying to blow down from the top.
Unplug the fans from the molex and plug them into the motherboard headers.
Make sure your CPU pump is plugged into the optional CPU header on the motherboard and is configured to run 100% in the BIOS. The pumps are designed to be run full speed. three of the four of my machines had that wired wrong. The water pump was wired into CPU Fan1. It should be CPU pump opt. Make sure in the BIOS that setting is 100%. The fans that cool the radiator can spin lazy --- but the pump needs to be 100%.
Also - if they wired two fans on your raidiator - that's just a waste, and introduces extra noise. Just use a single fan on your radiator. I mounted them differently on mine. I place the waterblock directly on the case chasis, and just use a single fan blowing out. (exhausting hot air outside the case from the rad). Two fans might decrease the radiator temp a degree or two, but it's immaterial and just adds additional noise.

you guys who bought these and started mining with them got some cojones, cause this is not a cost effective way to start mining..., especially now (Unless you sell off all the hardware to get the cards for free.. which would be the reverse of what this deal was supposed to be lol)
For anyone mining with their RX470 instead of selling them -- this might be of interest. I don't know the seller at all, and it's not impossible to figure this out on your own (there are many guides) -- but for $10 it might be worth the hand hold and experience of the seller.

did you mod the RX470 Power Color units that came with our cards in this CyberPower Deal?Modding the BIOS is super easy to do as long as you read the instructions.
There is another step that most guides don't show you, and that is modding the driver to not do a BIOS check. That is on the polaris flash page that you download it from on the overclock.net site.
I'm getting ~26MH/s per 470 currently.

I didn't try mine since my intent was to sell them, but my cousin tried and was having trouble getting nicehash to recognize the card after he flashed the bios. He reverted back to the stock firmware and it works perfect.
If you got it working I'll link my cousin to your post to give him insight.
you can run atikmdag after reboot as well, but then reboot after running. crossfire is automatic, don't think you can disable in bios, so yea flash 1 at a time with just 1 card in pc.
fyi, new bios for the taichi out yesterday.
I wasn't able to do that. My screen went black due to the BIOS not being "signed" or not having the same checksum or something like that.
I could RDP into the box, but no screen would display.
think something else was going on then. maybe driver version. I was on latest, didn't do atikmdag patch. Driver manager showed generic microsoft display adapter instead of radeon graphics. ran patch, reboot and device back to radeon graphics.

well...crud.....

He has 0 feedback score ---
http://www.ebay.com/usr/won.pa9?_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2754
So basically I know this guy is either A) lying or B) user error.
I packed them extremely well - anti-static bags, bubble warp, and foam.
I suspect he is simply lying because look at his e-mail address -- @occomputertechs.com -- Frankly it wouldn't surprise me if they actually still work perfectly well and he just wants to return them because he has no skin in the game --- he gets a full and complete refund, and can rebuy another pair of cards at much lower prices since the mining profitability has fallen off.
I thoroughly tested these cards before I sent them. I checked FAN RPM speeds via manual tuning in AMD wattman, and MSI afterburner. I ran benchmarks that stressed the cards to 100% for hours and made sure everything was stable before I sold them because I didn't want problems. The claim isn't that they were damaged in shipping - it's that he has no display and the fans don't spin - - which simply can't be true.
I sent this reply: (because it doesn't serve me well to start out aggressive in case it is just user error)
Pak, I see your note that you are not seeing the fans spin up. I think we can easily resolve this concern because it is not a failure. The fan spin up is related to heat build up, if there is no heat build up the fans don't spin. I had eight of these cards for sale from four brand new CyberPower systems I pulled them from. All eight fans on these RX470 behaved identically. They all spin a bit when the power is pressed, and then turn off until they have enough heat build up to engage again. this is normal and expected stock RX 470 behavior. As to no display -- let's work through this - because I assure you the cards work perfectly. What display connection are you using? Do you have a six pin PCI-E power connector connected to each card? Did you select the right input mode on the monitor/display? (HDMI/DisplayPort etc). Can you please send a quick video of the cards in action? Based on your e-mail I expect you are a computer shop owner or worker. I would expect you've tried these things, but I can attest with all my integrity, that those cards were new System pull cards - I tested thoroughly before I sent them - and even verified the fans worked under load and were able to be changed using the fan speed tuner in AMD wattman and MSI afterburner. I've been in the IT occupation for nearly 20 years - building many systems for my hobby and day job. I work in Information Security at the [..omitted..]. Those cards worked absolutely perfectly and were brand new system pulls, just as I stated, and I fully expect we can get them working. Please respond to my questions above. My phone number is [...omitted....]. Please call me and I can help you walk through getting the cards working I'm sure.
The problem now of course is I have no ability to prove he's lying or incompetent. If I go after him aggressively - he can simply intentionally break them - pop a capacitor off, or actually break the fan and then send them back in a truly failed state and then I have two broken cards. I have the serial number pictures of course, but even there - he can just swap out the backplates with identical cards if he had defective ones, and send me the defective cards with my backplates attached. There's no real recourse for me here if the buyer lacks integrity.
Any suggestions on how to handle this?
Is that truly an option or just text you put in there? I wonder if it would hold water with ebay?sounds like he just wants to return them and is playing dumb. This is why I have a 20% restocking fee.
good point on the picture - I didn't include a nice hash pic - that's just a screenshot of the generic profitability calculator website - not tied to my particular card, but I do have a screenshot of GPU-Z showing the card stats to verify RAM type.
Also - ebay charges me return shipping - not the buyer. That isn't even an option.
Which in the end - if he didn't actually damage them -- it would be better just to lump the shipping both ways and get them back in perfect condition rather than him intentionally breaking them and sending them back broken if push came to shove.
Darn ebay not allowing us to give a buyer feedback for fraudulent stuff like this. If he chooses to continue down this path -- he'll still have 0 feedback (no negatives) and my wallet will be $50 - $60 lighter.

I said no returns on my auction - but that doesn't make a lick of difference. --- I've read it, and found it to be true first hand -- that "no returns" checkbox just doesn't matter --- ebay has their way, and the seller holds the bag if the buyer complains.
