2011-09-19 – 001 – HTC Incredible
Record 510ºC; somewhere between the skin of temperature of a SR-71 Blackbird and Christina Hendricks… Ok not really, but one of the four video cards hit 90ºC during testing before it throttled down with an erroneous reading. A cool down and reboot made everything shiny again.
I like to say that this quad setup is being used for playing games, throwing real-time FOREX feeds, or contributing to Folding@home. Unfortunately, this rig is being used for bitcoin mining. Fortunately, someone else is doing the mining and this is free tuition for me to update my system building skillset – which happens to need some cooling. And some PCIe extension cables. As an aside the mining rig is running Fedora 14 so no CrossFire bridge is needed for making hay at 800+ Mhash/s.
