Hashrate from 500 to 2500+ in 3 days... and climbing. Thanks Bitmain! :/

What are your optimisations for cryptonight?

You need code xmr stak for 2 thread, config shoudl look like this :

// gpu: Ellesmere memory:2752
// compute units: 36
{ "index" : 0,
"intensity" : 896, "worksize" : 8,
"affine_to_cpu" : false, "strided_index" : true
},
{ "index" : 0,
"intensity" : 896, "worksize" : 8,
"affine_to_cpu" : false, "strided_index" : true
},

You can also just use amdxmrminer, it just works. It does sometimes have problems starting.

Best way to control two rigs with 1 x monitor? But 2x kb and mouse?

I know it's not what you are asking, but consider setting up a VNC server on the rig without a monitor and control it that way from the one with the peripherals connected. I presume the two rigs are on the same network. This will not work for tinkering in the BIOS and anything else pre-boot, but should suffice for working in Windows or your OS of choice
 
Well i just messed up royally. looks like i damaged my motherboard it is not booting up any more. and i think i damaged the PSU as well.I tested PSU in a different PC. It switched on and seems to run everything but when you switch off the PC the fans keep running. Think i should keep using it? or send away for repairs? Does anyone know of a repair center in South Africa for Corsair?
The mother board does not switch on with a different power supply.
I took a molex string from a corsair HX750 and plugged it into the HX1000 for extra molex connectors. when i powered on there was a spark at the riser and everything powered down.
The graphics cards seem OK. i am running them in different machines.
What do you think the chances are of the CPU and memory also being damaged?

Does the board not power on at all? No CPU fan?

Corsair psu can be returned to frontosa.

Psu might have taken a hit and the cpu I think.

With the corsair PSU the CPU fan turns half heartedly. on different motherboard CPU and system fans turn while switched off.
Different Power supply on the mother board nothing happens.
I have no ways of testing the CPU. Don't have a spare board it will fit in. The memory should be ok right?

Just happy the 3 x 1060's seem to be good.

Hmm ok, I thought maybe if the CPU fan was going it might be a similar issue I had where the pc turns on with CPU fans spinning but black screen, all I did was remove the Cmos battery for a minute, put it back, and then turn the PC back on to default the Bios, that board is a real pain to use and get working with 6 GPU's it took me a while.

Thanx

So i checked, and NH incorporated the new XMR-StAK into legacy miner and benchmark with the default settings, it gives me 690h/s. I found the XMR-StAK folder and there are a couple of text files, where should i change this. I found something that looks similar in amd.txt, and AMD_0.txt, where should i change it.
