![]() I would also get smcFanControl and put all the system fans as high as possible while mining as it keeps the temps at room temp (current GPU temp is about 40 C). I don't feel like looking at a giant thing. I use MacMiner because of the tight interface. For mac theres MMiner, CGminer, BFGminer, and MacMiner. OSX does have multiminer but it may or may not work. Theres a few apps for OSX that are useable but I am going to say that for windows you should use Multiminer. With just a 370 and only a few hours live to the pool I have almost 0.00085 LTC now. As I had 8 mh\s at one point I don't know what the exact speed will ever be completely capped out, but I can say that they don't take that much power to run. Varrock is 2 or 3 chipsets behind my MP but it nailed 445-480 kh\s. So at the moment my average kilohash on my mac pro attached to the pool is 340 kh\s. As I am trying to figure out good benchmarks for these kinds of machines, them being built around workloads and not necessarily about FPS in games or the best images ever, I have been looking at Lightcoin mining for the last month or so.įor the record the pool I am using is and it is relatively large (845 - 875 users consistantly) and I am in kilohash where I have hit 8 megahash when a big mining group attached to the site got DDoS'd a few days ago before I got my mac pro, so the exact speeding on the machines I have is loose to label. I wanted to talk for a short moment about mining with these machines. But for now, I have a 1,1 and I intend to use it. Tests will be soon to come and I will have to report those at a later date when I have the time to do them. I expect that with The 1,1 I will have better performance over all and have a similar experience to my Phenom. I expect that with this Mac, The 1,1? I like the ring of that. While solid, it was hard work o play something as simple as TF2, CSS, and this war of mine. ![]() I can say that for a machine like Varrock you won't have a great gaming experience because of the Pentium 4 age Xeons and their limited capacity. Until I get around to doing HW testing I can only go over some loose specifics. However the machines I have seen/used before did also work like this so whether this is a problem between machines or all the machines did this I have no idea. Since that update the fans work like you expect. In a hardware update to the machine that I found later on it actually WAS a bug. I'm good with that.Įdit: Actually I was wrong here. Ultimately this will run OSX, Linux, and Windows and unless something else comes along this will now be my main machine. The wall is going to hit where it sortof counts when I will need 10.9 and its stuck at 10.7, though any version can be hacked to work with little effort. ![]() I'm certain that whatever I throw at it it will not have an issue and will definitely handle better than Varrock ever did game and recording wise. For the 160 USD spent on it the fact that nothing is wrong with it floors me. Now, over all these machines are actually pretty great. This isn't a bug, thy actually did that originally as well. Runs quiet until it heats up too much then the fans go full power until its decent again. These are the specs of the 1,1, as for Varrock consider him similar hardware wise but 1 generation behind in architecture.Ģ X Xeon 5150's 2.66ghz (no HT as far as I am aware, nor boost clock, but that may change)ġ6 GB DDR2 PC2-5300F, whatever the fuck that isĪTM an ATi X1900 XT (I can sell this for a stupid amount of money) but it will be replaced by my R7 370Īn airport card (it didn't have airport) ABGN I don't have a name for it yet but it's in my mind somewhere. I have talked about Varrock a lot in the 2 months I have been using him as my main machine and now I am off of Netburst completely with this mac pro. 1 is a Dell Precision 670 that I rebuilt and the other is my "new" Mac Pro 1,1. "Hey Aremis, you stupid git, why are you talking about keons when you like old big endian chips and pentium 4's?!" BECAUSE YOU SAUCEY PAMF THESE ARE STILL OLD MACHINES!! 10 to 11 years in fact.
