In BBT's latest Livestream the team covered a pretty interesting 2x Pro Duo (Fiji) build in a highly modified version of our open air frame case. The case was painted in Crimson Red and featured mounts for the dual watercoolers. The testing as shown in the episode showed some pretty good numbers (Eth and DCR), however at the expense of some serious power usage. The AMD Pro Duo card does require 3x VGA 8-Pin connectors per card and when dual mining exceed the maximum spec's of our power-supply. We have since swapped that out to a eVGA Supernova 1300 G2 PSU to handle the near 1100w requirement when dualmining.
Basic Settings:
Settings stock: 1000mhz GPU/500mhzMEM - Result with Ethereum - 27.4mh per GPU
Settings stock: 1075mhzGPU/500mhzMEM - Result with Ethereum - 30.4mh per GPU
Total system using: 1100 @ overclock
Total system using: 890@stock
Temps stay around 62c
Total System Hash: 111mh stock
121mh OC
In the later part of the livestream we covered a 7x XFX RX580 8GB Black Edition / Crimson Edition and XXX GTS edition multi-card mixed open air frame rig.
Stats of Open Air Frame: 26.5" x 16.5" x 11" Angled Aluminum (1/16th x 1") and 1"x3" Pine
7x XFX RX580 8GB: 215mh @ 1225/2175 clocks for full system
205 @ 1200/2100 clocks for moderate OC
Roughly 1150w total system, just over 1200 if @ 215mh clocks

@bitsbetrippin hi Carter welcome to steemit, I have been following your youtube channel since the days of litecoin mining, great videos
I have an issue with one of my old rig:
Sapphire 6xR9 290 Trixx OC
Asus Z97 A Motherboard
Windows 10
only one card is showing in the device manager other 5 card are detected but hidden.
Solution?
Nice if you feel like sharing send me a pc :) it will be streaming and mining :) encoding and rendering are the other options :D
I have seen Carter optimizing the BIOS of an RX 560. This did not work for my card when I tried. Where can I download an ETC optimized BIOS for a MSI RX 560 4GB (ITX, no pin)? Thank you.
Is it normal that simplemining on linux loading finds my RX580 X gaming 8gb as 480? Thanks :)
