My LTC and Hash cracking rig

[ayu]

So, I finally started building it.

It has space for up to 7 graphic cards, and I have ordered 3 raiser cables and 1 ATI Radeon HD7950 card.
Currently the machine has 2xHD7950, and i3 processor and 2 GB of RAM.
The sole purpose of this machine is to crack hashes, and mine Litecoins when it doesn't have any hashes to crack.
As you can see I haven't fixed a proper case yet, so this bread box will have to do for now ^^

at least you have a nice air flow that way...

what board is that?

btw, I have a spare HD4850 dual-slot with heatpipe cooler lying around here, in case you want it (for free) let me know...

The board is

Code: Select all

And thanks for the offer!
But I will pass this time, as I don't want to use anything under HD7950 for mining

that s really cool, well I do not have a server and can't even afford one but I read alot about making a password cracking server and this is the best article I read

by the way the rest of the posts in the blog are awesome because they r not only theories but they r real life experiences

@cats
you're welcome! and yeah, the 4850 is of course not the first choice for a mining rig, I just thought "in case you have a free slot you want to fill by all means"...
for gaming it's still a pretty decent card though.

@scatter
nice link, even if I, as silence fetishist, always shiver when I see that many g-cards in a system...

It means a lot to me to just get the offer though, so thanks a lot

I should record the noise level on our balcony where all my servers are xD ... it's horrible

please do!

my problem is, even if it might sound silly, that my ears are trained too much. in the years when I was into high end audio I spent hours with listening to the finest nuances through a very good headphone....once I spent a whole night for example with soldering different kinds of capacitors into a power filter I had built for the CD player to find out which ones sound the best. this was NOT a component of the audio circuit, it was one of the power supply....<weirdo emoticon here>
such "training" is good on one side because it's fun to be able to find and focus on a single instrument in a whole orchestra for example, but it also made me very sensitive to noise which doesn't belong there. one case fan I had for example was super-silent and also super-fancy looking, but after a couple of hours it always began to made tiny tiny click noises which drove me berserk. same for my bike: if just one chain link isn't running smoothly the tiny noise it makes when it runs over the jockey wheels is already enough to piss me off really bad and can ruin a whole ride...

Very awesome cats! I am thinking of an idea atm. Will let you know if it pans out. It is coding time. To the code cave!

great rigs and servers... btw with that Pw-cracking server, how long it will take to crack some hashes? just interesting.

about too many graphic cards yeah something comes into my mind, i am a gamer too so i love high graphics


excuse me for that image

P.S: remove attached image if i violate some of our rules

Came back for boobs. ++Thanatos.

I just got the new rig working with oclHashcat yesterday and started cracking some hashes I had laying around.
It's now cracking away at ~9000 Mh/s per card on MD5 hashes (Will add at least one more card by the end of this month).

cant imagine how fast it is *evil laugh*
thanks now that i have my idea on building my own server
(Exp.Up gained!!!)

That is a sweet rig Cats! I've got to agree with b_b though, noise is the enemy of a calm and peaceful surrounding

[l0ngb1t]

did you test some wpa-psk's ?

[ayu]

did you test some wps-psk's ?

Nope!
At the moment It's cracking away at some PHPASS hashes (bcrypt)
