    For Sale: Video Cards and PS

    I recently shut down my small mining operation and am offloading the rest of my equipment. All cards have been in my basement mining for the last year or so. None have been O/C with the exception of the 6970, (which I ran in my main rig for a long time). None of the cards have ever been over 70C...

    Anyone still hitting the BigAdv deadline w/24cores?

    I realize folding@home isn't the most popular topic these days, but I noticed my SuperMicro H8QME-2 stopped pulling BigAdv units a few days ago so I assume F@h upped the requirements like they said they would. I'm currently running 8389 Quads in it and I'm wondering if its worth it to upgrade to...

    Bitcoin Debit card

    https://xapo.com/in/campaign/debit/ Anyone see this yet? Be pretty cool if they actually bring it to the market. Checking the site out I don't see any "Visa" or "Mastercard" logos anywhere yet, so I'm guessing its still in the planning stages, but it would be nice if it came to be. Just one...

    Weird problem

    So I get home last night and see the rig I just built down. Go down the basement and the hard drive has died. This rig I built the day before using 3x XFX 270 cards along with a 6970 and 7870 cards. So I grab a new hard drive, image it and throw it back in the system, then fire it up and load...

    New rigs...cheap as you can.

    So this week was simply awesome on the mining front. Tuesday I got some cheap ass risers from Amazon and one of them fried one of my boards, then last night another board went down, so now I have 7 cards doing absolutely nothing but collecting dust and 5 more cards coming this week. I'm an...

    Tweaking your mining cards...squeeze every last KH/s you can from them

    I started LTC and altcoin mining a few months ago and my small farm has gradually grown to 4 rigs with 14 cards as well as cramming cards in my home server and HTPC. I have spent very few dollars out of my pocket, mostly selling and trading some coins here and there to finance my small...

    EVGA Backstock sale

    Didn't check all the prices, but the few I saw weren't bad. Here. One thing to keep in mind, EVGA limits their warranty to 1 year with all their backstock cards. Something to think about when buying one, but I've dealt with EVGA RMA's process before and they are stellar as far as I'm...

    PPD FX-8320 8 core?

    Anyone have a ballpark on PPD for this chip w/mild O/C on it? From what I've read its between 10k and 50k so I would guess its between 15 and 25k PPD. I know its nearly a complete waste of time/power to fold on single cpu systems now, but it will be on all day in my file server anyway and my...

    15% off EVGA Double Bios cards until 10/10

    Use this code: 4TQQB01I8PXYNIJ Apply's to these cards. With some EVGA bucks I had I just picked up a GTX 770 FTW for $225, I'll probably get screwed when they drop the prices in a couple weeks due to AMD releasing their new cards, but my old 6970 was getting a bit long in the tooth.

    Thank you Gskill

    So at Christmas time I spotted some Gskill Ripjaws Memory on sale at Newegg for like $37 or something. I knew within the next month I'd be building a new SB system, so I grabbed 4-2gb sticks for less then $80. The first of February I got around to building my 2600k system, as it turned out, 2 of...

    Thanks Musky

    Thanks to your guide I was able to get my second rig up and running Ubuntu last night and folding. It was much less painful then I though it would be. Since I'm a total linux newbie, I did have couple problems, but nothing I couldn't figure out on my own with the help of your guide. Next step is...

    My 2600k

    I built my 2600K machine last week and last night I finally got around to seeing what it could do. Since I put it together, I haven't had time to properly play with the O/C. I just set it on "auto" overclock @4.4Ghz and it ran like a top. Last night I got her up to 5.0Ghz, (with very high...

    Sandy Bridge on a budget

    So i decided to pull the trigger and upgrade my system this year. I told my wife I'd use our tax refund to do it. Thinking I had plenty of headroom and a couple grand at least, I started shopping around a few weeks ago for components. I actually started picking up some things here and there...

    Best bang for $300

I don't need nor want a $5-600 card, when $300 will work fine. The way I look at it I have 2 choices...

    Who remembers these?

    I've been online gaming for the better part of the last 10 years. When I look back at all the money I've spent on video cards alone, it would probably fill a nice size swimming pool! Riva 128 - My first Video card/gaming machine, AGP 1x and a 233mhz Intel MMX I believe rocking Quake with 4mb...
