I am mining N5 with cayars nvminer 1.2. Two rigs on Windows 7 64 bit and both using 335.23 driver. Only difference is cpu and gpu manufacturer but way different results. Gpu's are factory overclocked and at these settings. Cpu's are not overclocked.

Rig A: GPU- 5 750ti's (EVGA SC)      CPU- AMD Phenom II X6 1100T   (cpu usage about 25% usage, avg)    Speed: 35,500 Kh/s or 7,100 Kh/s each card    MOBO: Gigaybyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
Rig B: GPU- 5 750ti's (MSI OC)        CPU- AMD Phenom II X3 710      (cpu usage about 70% usage, avg)     Speed: 26,900 Kh/s or 5,380 Kh/s each card   MOBO: Gigaybyte GA-MA790X-UD4P

In my Rig A the gpu load stays above 90% but in Rig B gpu load fluctuates between 30-85%. This happens on all cards in each machine. Both machines have the cards on the same kind of powered usb risers. I can't get the Rig B to over 90% load for nothing. This happens now (I never noticed before but Rig B has always been slower) for any algo mining.

Could it possibly be the cpu? Just curious before I drop money on the cpu. I also know the mobo are not the best in the world but they were very cheap when I got the a while ago. I know I can swap cpu's also but would rather get you all's advice/opinions first. I would rather just go and get a new cpu if needed.

hey guys

quick question

I'm mining with ccminer and was wondering is it possible to set the worker to close after a time limit has been set? 

Windows or Linux?

ccManager supports sessions, but it's Linux only.

Thx for the reply mate, using windows 7 64bt

Oh, god, extreme newbie alert Cheesy (j/k)
Look, BTC uses an algorithm called SHA256 for mining. LTC uses an algorithm called Scrypt. Only Scrypt is supported by Cudaminer, so you won't be able to mine SHA256 (BTC) with your cudacard.
SHA256 AND Scrypt has already been overtaken by specialized devices which will do a lot better than your Graphics Card will ever do.

There are already new algorithms, for which its presumed there are no specialized devices yet. Keccak, NIST5, X11/X13/X14/X15, Cryptonight, etc... These are supported by cudaminer or ccminer (both made for nvidia).
Go look it up, educate yourself first. Mining is a lot of fun because of the knowledge and geek-factor involved with it, but don't expect any profit if you don't know what you're doing.

Sure newbie alert Wink

But also a nerd same as you!;)

Thanks for this information, this is exactly what i need Wink.I got now after 1 day the coorect settings and LTC pool;) now i get 2200 khash/s Wink

reguards the guy that know what he´s doing Wink


if you are running on scrypt (and more specifically on on LTC), you really don't know what you are doing (but if it is winter, you get free heating as a by-product of your scrypt mining experience... something that asic don't do well  Grin)

Hi guys,

i got some problems:

My GPU is: GTX 770 4GB RAM.
WIN 8.1 64 BIT (GB RAM )
I use the last version of CudaMiner...
If install Cuda Driver 5.5

When i will mine BC i will get every time this failure:

//Config is: cudaminer -H 1 -i 1 -l K16x16 -C 1 -o stratum+tcp://eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -O USER:123

Pause
//

When i will start this config for LC:
//Config is: cudaminer -H 1 -i 1 -l K16x16 -C 1 -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -O USER:1234

Pause
//


I have also try to use another BC sender page as example: bitminter.com
I get here the same failure as btcguild.com.


Do you have any Idiar to fix my problems?

Thank youu!

Guys suggest a coin to mine?

Litecoin

Mammothcoin.  Super low diff, easy to mine. Way undervalued at the moment. Could easily explode in near future. Mine now till POW phase ends.

The description could be an entire page long. It has no limit Smiley
Looks good to me though

Click on the version or date to expand the selection and to access the description.

Does the description I entered cover the basics of what we should include for a "one line" description?  Anything missing?

Thanks,

No i havent changed anything. They will gladly run at up to 1.4ghz core without issue. More load heavy coins i run at 1.35ghz

I leave the system running for weeks on end without shutting off miners so no long term issues for me either

Personally i have 5 of the msi twin fan 750ti's
They dont have the 6pin power but their great running off usb risers. They overclock like mental and i can keep up with the best on here

you modified the bios to rise the power limit? because any attempt in oc my msi twin fan result in a crash after some time of mining
