For the first time the difficulty is actually going down (~3%).
Funny you say that, because power flickered out briefly as I left this morning and my computer shut down. However, I didn't bother restarting it, because the power has been doing this all morning, and will probably continue to happen.
Sounds like you should use some of those hard-earned mining profits on a nice UPS.
my two were victims of me letting windows update auto-install :/
back up, now to 1.4 ghash via 2x6950 and 2x5870
one of the 6950s is getting watercooled, but probably not for a few weeks
why is just one of the 6950s getting watercooled and not both? I have both of my 5870 on water now... running at 46C and 400Mhash each.
only one is reference, the other is a later rev Sapphire with a custom heatsink etc.
I need to shader unlock them both, the Sapphire one's dual fan cooler can handle it, the REF one, it gets pretty hot.(but its on a rack at work right now )
and $$$$.
my wife would shit a brick if she saw me spend about 800 bucks on watercooling stuff, especially on something thats likely to produce ZERO return
i'm starting to switch over to a universal waterblock (swiftech mcw82)... that way it's just a one time cost and i can transfer the blocks from gpu to gpu... i'll no longer have to worry about whether the gpus are reference or not.

as for my two 5870s.. one is reference and the other is not... EK sells a full coverage block for a non reference 5870.
EKs are very nice blocks, but to keep my cost down, i'm going to switch to the swiftech mcw82..
Are you seriously mining a 6950 with a 450W psu?
really weird spike in network hash rate today. assuming a fair number of miners stopped/paused when the btc went down to 7$, then when it went to 10$ more hashpower than when the price was 14$ suddenly came on line then off.
I'm wondering if artforz did a test of his asic cluster.
my linuxcoin miner has locked up and crashed hard twice
cant look at it till tomorrow now
no idea WTF is going on, its an older 450w antec, I guess it could be dying?
The 11.7 drivers didn't work for me,i would start mining with 1 card and the hash rate was good then when i started the other card the hash rate on the first card would drop and i had to roll back to 11.6

That's nothing. It's not like he is running both his CPU and GPU at full load. Regardless, I ran my i7 3.9ghz (99% load in Seti@Home) + HD6950 unlocked into a 6970 (99% load in MilkyWay@Home) at the same time on a 520W since February (that is until I started mining).
i7 3.9ghz by itself consumes 250-275W. Quality power supplies can run 24/7 100% load at their rated watttage. This isn't Rosewill or Aspire/Apevia crap.
Not sure if you updated to Cats 11.7 but ever since I did it has been BSODing constantly. I rolled back to 11.6. Hopefully that will solve it. First time I'm having to roll back an ATI driver!!

that should be enough depending on what the psu is
