I also thought that they were eating 350 watts but when inserted into a socket the measuring device was unpleasantly surprised. The programs show quite a different value as if up to 450 watts consumption and in the real world it's all 750.

I have 6 10603gb cards on 400 watt measured in the wall. You just need to use MSI afterburner and slide the TDP slider to the left until you reach 60%

How many power supplies do your video cards supply 1 per 400watt?

Dear friends, please forgive me for my bad English. I want to present my observations on a farm with 4 GTX 1060 3Gb graphics cards in the 100/500 overclock. My Zec farm consumes 750 watts, provided that in the state of being it eats 110 watts worth 2 gigabytes of memory and 2 power supplies of 500 watts and the processor Geleros G550 (from my observations I will say that the fairy tale is all that they are eating 120 watts, without overclocking for 150 watts and in dispersing oc 170 each) on ETH for 100 watts less in overclocking the farm eats. Here are my observations carried out by special instruments and gauges is not less than a day.

I have got 5x gtx 1060 90w each with 260sol/s 450w + 30w for motherboard.

What tool measured the consumption of the farm I hope not programmable but from the outlet 220 volts by the amount of amp consumed because the programs lie for 30-50 percent of the real indicators

Has anyone here tested this miner on the Nvidia Tesla K80 or M60?
I have one of each, which I use for ETH mining, and was thinking if it would be a good idea to mine ZCash with them.

Just an fyi if you loose the miner.exe file off your system and running windows 10, you can thank defender for auto deleting the file without permission for that, only way around it seeing you cant permanently disable defender is to allow an exception, have to use admin account disable realtime protection and then unzip and point to the miner.exe file and exclude it, else one day you'll wont have the file.

Yet again Microsoft thinking for us poor humans..

nvidia-smi is pretty broken for pascal cards:

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/992477/linux/bug-378-xx-nvml-nvidia-smi-core-clock-is-wrong-on-pascal-devices/

Hope, nvidia will fix this in the next driver release, but i am not very confident.

Did you make clean install of the driver or just install over previous version?
Maybe that leaved the broken nvidia-smi?

Its for ETH mining, but the the same priciple for reading max clocks and set it via nvidia-smi

If it says [NOT SUPPORTED] then the nvidia-smi that came with the driver is broken.
nVidia tend to release many drivers for linux with broken nvidia-smi...
I am sure that 375.39 has working nvidia-smi

375.39 is exactly the driver that I have and it says
SUPPORTED_CLOCKS N/A

The card (Zotac 1060 6gb mini) is probably locked, darn it.

Personally I too prefer linux for mining.

You can get more GPU usage by manually setting P0 instead of P2 by setting highest application clocks via nvidia-smi.
I use it on a rig with GeForce GTX 970 that also prefers P2 by default.

I've tried many ways to overclock nVidia card in linux, none of them successful (I use Ubuntu Server, headless, without GUI)

I am reading nvidia-smi -h file, but i could not get it how to see clocks and how to change them.
i am passing commands and get puzzling responses instead of a simple readout.
So, could you tell me how to see clocks and how to change them?
Thanks

I've running the 3b version since release, this behavior is from 2-3 days

i had a PC with one card, added second and cannot make it work.
second card starts fine, then drops out in 24hr or less, then mining continues, but PC is frozen; have to do a hard restart.
i am not sure that it is the program or card glitch or not enough power.
i have a 500W PSU and thought that it should be enough for two Zotacs 1060, but, maybe it isn't even though they suppose to use just 120w ea.
CPU only uses 54W(TDP).

How do you manually set P0?

Uggh - may have to give Windoze a try then

EWBF,

Will it be possible to add another switch under --eexit?
Like, exit the miner if total speed reaches 0 sol/s.

Quote from: bughatti on March 28, 2017, 09:50:27 PM

I second this, I will run for a good 2 days and then start hashing 0. For me I don't think it is OC issues cause I already had to go down from when I ran 3b. 3b was the most stable at highest clocks. I dont mind the lower clocks but frustrated with the stability issue so having a command to restart the miner if it reaches 0 would be great.

Yes, but i think it's better to fix this. On the side of the pool speed also falls? And can you show the log file?
