LOL I remember the days when I'd spend a lot more for 20K.. ah how times have changed

Actually the 7970's are for mining in my desperate pathetic attempt to fend off the electricity bill that is going to fall out of the sky and crush my like a bug.

I get that every month - last months lectric bill was £397 :eek:

If I posted the sequence of words that came out of my head when I read that I would earn an instant permanent ban

loudbob · 10 Jun 2013 at 23:31

It was higher - but I'm in the process of reducing lectric bill but increasing PPD

Thats an incredible amount to spend on electricity, I cried last month when mine came to £100. Is it not possible to hide these beasts at work somewhere

MGP · 10 Jun 2013 at 23:47

The words "hide" and "beasts" tend to be incompatible.

Umm.. not sure what that means?

Boycie · 16 Jun 2013 at 21:25

I mean I could never afford all 4 chips at once but I was interested in the Supercomputer board you had for sale but missed it

ozaudio · 17 Jun 2013 at 22:29

Nostromo 6272ES 3.2Ghz - offline , is this the one you sold

loudbob · 17 Jun 2013 at 23:24

From the stats it looks like all three of Biffa's 4P rigs are/were still running - so perhaps just lost connection to his stats server or it's just lost network communication

Biffa · 18 Jun 2013 at 07:33

No its offline because it was overheating I think, well the alarm was going off on the motherboard, and I need to troubleshoot it, however I had to go to Dubai so turned it off.

I suspect the pump needs replacing.

So Nostromo is off for maintenance, Weebeastie is off as I am am switching to SB-E platform and waiting for the cpu to come from Germany.

loudbob · 18 Jun 2013 at 08:32

Well, hopes you get sorted sooner rather than later

My news.....

I have case, cpu's, fans, coolers, psu just waiting on motherboard and memory.

Also, I've got some replacement gpu's on order so hopefully they'll be here before end of week

ozaudio · 21 Jun 2013 at 20:44

was it the pump?

Yes, a leaky XSPC Pump Res

Sorted now.

Also sold Darkmatter to some mad Aussie and the 6166HE CPU's on the bay. So now I can afford to buy 4 more Intel's

Now if I could stop myself from buying mining GPU's I'd be well on the way to building a new rig.

ozaudio · 21 Jul 2013 at 06:27

if you buy more intels that would give you 2 intel 4p with 1 amd 4p? you and loudbob would have the exact same systems running?

wouldn't you need to spend or fortune on another intel motherboard as they seem stupidly expensive! :eek:

Biffa · 21 Jul 2013 at 11:34

Luckily I still have some stuff to sell still.

The mobos aren't stupidly expensive when to take into account what they have to support. Plus you can get some bargains of you are patient.

Now what we need is some more dedicated nutters in the team to buy these rigs we keep selling so we can keep the points in the team rather than losing them to other teams :eek:

ozaudio · 21 Jul 2013 at 18:52

my moneys on stan been the next 4p owner
