Hmmm...I will have to try it this weekend then. Both Cheetah and Puma have mounts for at least a 120mm, maybe even a 140mm there, so who knows? Worth a shot, I guess. Summer is coming...

Next goal, to try and get as close to 5 mill a day as I can out of Donate. At about 4 million now. Looking at Zydor's output on donate, I should be able to get more. I estimate he is getting over 900k a day from each of his 7970s and I have 5 plus a 6970 which is doing about 60% of the 7970. It funny, it is not so much the credits as he has set the bar high and I want my machines to get there. Pride not credits on I project I like has me fixated. Out of my way I am on a mission ...
Need to figure out how to adjust voltage without afterburner or evga precision....it's odd i have learned so much, but still know so little.
On the knowledge sharing front, with the 7970 cards and GPU-Z from techpower up you can can read your Asic quality of the GPU which basically predicts how good your GPU is and indicates the power, heat and overclocking ability. The higher the score the more overclocking room you will have in therory. FireDragon has one at 65.5 and another at 80.3, Black Dragon has 2 at about the same (all 4 the same GigaByte model with the same Bios). Hydra6 has 79.2. Hydra6 overclocks to 1125 without changing voltage (925 is reference), fricken assume. Its 7970 does 2 donate Wus every 18:05 secs. The other 7970 cards in CrossFire can only do 1090 and 18:35. But I bet if I pair up the 80+ cards I will get more out of that CrossFire pair. When I have time I will try it.
If folks don't mind, I am going to keep blogging this for future reference.
I'm assuming you are referring to a single card of Zydor's and not his daily output. He has NEVER come close to 5M a day!

Actually I should say he hit it ONE time but hasn't been over 4M a day since.

Sorry I may have been misleading...I figure he is doing over 900k per 7970. I have 5.6 of them. 900k x 5.6 = 5 mill. My goal is to get to 5 mill. or as close as I can. I have already passed is daily output and I am closing in on your Donate output.Originally Posted by Bryan

For reference this is what I was looking at:

Cuz I had to downclock everything due to heatI've got to go get some 12" fans and put to the side of the machines. It was nice a month ago when I was running Donate I would just open the window and with it down in the 20s and 30s I had no heat problems
BTW, there was a guy who posted a HAF 932 review on the SUSA forum last year. He had taken a 932 w/ 2 or 3 highend GPUs and made a bunch of temperature measurements. Then they did some changes to the 932 that REALLY helped.
IIRC, they changed the 10" side fan to 4 120mm fans (screw holes already there) and changed the 120mm CPU output fan to a 140mm. It dropped the temp amazingly. I'm not saying get a 932, I'm saying if you can find that article some of what they did might applicable to any tower case!
PS I have 4 932s so when you find the thread please let me know the link so I can reread it
I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...md+932&x=0&y=0PS I have 4 932s so when you find the thread please let me know the link so I can reread it
And replaced its left panel will a replacement part from cooler master store for this:

That side fan made a world of difference. The 7970's O.C. in the 932 with side fan running at 62c and 72c. Guess which is the top card. Edit: Currently is 81f in my office, so those cards are doing well.
If I find the thread I will let you know.
With Hydra6, I am determined to see how far I can push that case. I almost bought a HAF XM to replace it, but stubornness won.

BTW this is the link to the replacement door:

All 4 of mine have the 3 10" fans. But if you take a look at the side and top there are mounting holes for 120mm fans. The review said they had dropped the temp big time by changing the 10" side fan to 4 120mm. I'll have to see if I can find that article.
Congrats on taking over top dog in Donate ... anytime you outproduce stoneageman you are doing well !!
I'm loving the read on this EmSti.
Would you mind starting another thread with your progress? You have lots of good info here on the 7970 cards for this project. (BTW, you are making me itch for an new card) We have a few members that may be getting ready to jump at a few 7970's and would love to keep this info and your experiences handy.
