So how do you mine with integrated gpu is on via miners that can't support to choose opencl-platform ?

750Ti without power, steel risers burn through 12+ volts


You should buy an auxiliary power supply adapter cable

yup - hence the usb 3.0 powered risers on ALL the farms cards ...

i have burnt out so many in this fashion when i was starting in mining - its ridiculous ...

none of these ribbon risers are ever used in thefarm now ... none ...

apart from that - there is more versatility with the lengths that you get with usb 3.0 risers ... and easier airflow around the usb cables that these ribbon ones ... they act as funneling for the airflow across the machine - where as the round cables that come with the usb 3.0 risers have a very airflow efficient non intrusive round cable ...

ASROCK H81 PRO MB and DUAL VIDEO--

A number of thread-followers have mentioned that they run rigs on ASROCK H81 PRO motherboards.  These boards support Intel CPU-Integrated graphics as well as a wide variety of graphic cards.  Is it possible to drive a monitor with integrated Intel video, and mine with nVidia graphics cards (750ti SC)?

I will research the web before booting my new H81 rig, but I'd like to know if it has been done by any one of the readers.

Thank you in advance!       --scryptr

i have never done it on mine - but it can be done ...

the radeon integrated chipset that is used is a separate gpu altogether if using the nvidia drivers from what ive been told ...

otherwise - the selection of the cards through commandline ( as a conditional parameter on ccminer ) would probably be what you would use to activate which cards are mining ...

like i said though - i have never done it that way - as i use headless systems anyway ... and im way too busy ( and lazy ) to go into this ...

You definitely should use internal graphics for display when mining on 750. Cause running on max intensities will do lags on Windows interface. AMD cards will not.

Yes, you can use the processor's onboard graphics card (set in bios to onboard) and you should use it because that means that all of your dedicated cards will have 100% of their memory free which is beneficial in memory hard algos. Otherwise the OS will use a chunk of your primary card's memory.

-Stop mining on disconnect's to save power.(pallas / flipclip)
Just tried this new feature. Works like a charm! Stops using gpu and continues to work after connection is available again ))
Will send some beers to pallas / flipclip later ))

Send my beers to Pallas.  The only thing I did was re-merge Pallas' "network_fail_flag" to master.  It was taken out originally because Pallas wanted to make sure it wasn't the reason for the solo-mining failure.  It wasn't Smiley

Cool. Even if you could just run through one card, it would be interesting information to have, adding to your efficiency tables  Smiley

@bathrobehero:
Have you ever tried undervolting the 970? On my 980's I run with lowered voltage, and that allows me the same (high) clocks with reduced power usage and lower temperatures. My power meter broke, so I haven't measured yet the different efficiency levels, but generally speaking, I think that you'll gain the most by tweaking voltage.

I haven't as I'm afraid that each card would be wildly different in terms of how much voltage they require not to crash (long term) on stock speeds because they also have somewhat wide ranges of stable overclocks.
If anything I was considering a slight increase in voltage for the 970s as in my case going for maximum hashrate regardless of efficiency is more profitable and the cooling on them is also pretty good.
But I might play around with lowering it in the future just to see.

Thanks for testing the watt usage.

The GV-N970WF3OC is a great card, but it use too much power to mine.. A low profile card with 2 6pins connectors is only using 150-180W mining quark. But the hashrate is not 18MHASH, more like 15,5.


So the last 2,5 MHASH is with a cost of 40WATT.

Yes but you can get the same efficiency from the bigger OC cards as well if you limit them (old pic):


But the OC cards have the benefit to push more hash when the profitability is high enough for you not to care about a small loss in hash/watt.

gtx 750 1gb 1500/1600, win7x64, forceware 353.30
neoscrypt 199kh/s (-i 14.5, gpu mem usage 807mb, mem controller load 33-37%, without -i the same Wink )
quark 6300kh/s (-i 22.9)
lyra2v2 4440kh/s (-i 19 slightly better then default)

Strong numbers for the junior desktop Maxwell. lyra2v2 doesn't scale as good on the other compute 5.2 cards compared to quark and x11. I think is is possible to optimize here, but the kernal will use more power.

But djm34 is the expert on the memory algos, hopefully he will release is private miner some time in the future. (lyra2v2 15-16MHASH on the gtx980)

PCIe SLOT SPLITTER--

They go for $35-40 now.  It is powered, and the graphic cards must be also by a powered USB riser and possibly a PCIe power line depending on the graphic card model..  There are models of this splitter card that sell for more than the price of a motherboard, too.  Good luck!       --scryptr

Something like: http://amfeltec.com/products/flexible-x4-pci-express-4-way-splitter/

YES--

The model(s) that you link are priced per quote only.  I am sure that you could get a refund if they didn't work.  Get the cheap ones off of Amazon, you can get a refund that way.       --scryptr

I've tried searching for some, but can't main one down, maybe i'm using rong key words, if you have a link , i'd be grateful.

Now this brings forward an interesting topic, a while back when we could still really mine BTC with GPUs , windows 7 had a 4 GPU limit, is there a way around this? Has anyone managed to get more than 8 GPUs working reliably on any system at all? Linux or windows?

I have this one for ~40$: http://www.sintech.cn/riser%20card/ST-PCIE4PCIE%20PCI-E%20X1%20to%204%20PCIe%20x1%20riser%20cable.html
and I cannot make it work with maxwell cards. Tried 750ti, 960 and 970. No luck. In windows it gets detected... all pcie ports shows in the device manager but not the gpus. Tried also in linux on 2 different mobo but no luck. I got a refund.

Another thing i tried is to connect 3 gpus(maxwell) to an asrock q1900 mobo. It can work only with 2 gpus. No matter about slot number or gpu combination... Only 2 works at the same time in Win or linux enviroment.

Then I purchased an asrock h81 pro btc and it is great. Not only for mining. I got a 2nd hand unused for 35EUR Smiley +celereon for 30EUR...

btw I would never use an oldschool ribbon riser... I just love all the advantages usb riser offers.

I hope sp won't be angry for the offtopic Smiley
