Hi all,

hoping that someone can shine some light onto a little problemo with a GPU mining rig.

Specs are;

Gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3 Mobo
6 x Zotac NVIDIA GTX 1070 Mini GPU's
6 x risers
4gb Ram
3.3Ghz G4400 Intel processor
1 x Corsair RM 1000

1 x Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 400

Ubuntu 16.04

Mining with Claymore

The situation is, that the most we can get to work are 5 GPU's.

Originally we had only the RM 1000 PSU and for love nor could we get the 6th GPU to show in the system (in fact with 6 connected, the system wouldn't boot).

... So, believing it to be a power problem, we bought a 400W PSU but no joy.

Have tried mobo and all risers on same (400W) PSU, with all GPU's on 1000w PSU and mobo, risers and 4 GPU's on one with the other two Gpu's on the 400w.

Wtf are we missing?

Huh

Hello, i have a similar problem but with another motherboard (Z Prime Asus-A) and x6 Rx570, i dont know how fix that. I will stay tunned because i feel like i am losing money. Thanks

Feckin Gremlins.

So... Disconnected one GPU and rebooted. - Locked in with the pool no probs.

Rebooted with the 6th GPU and now it has connected and is mining.. Just as I was looking for a hammer to smash the fucker!!!!

Thank you all who helped resolve this story..

Just to clarify... currently have 6 x GTX 1070 mining at 160 MHs using a Corsair RM 1000 PSU

Lol!

Thanks anyway.

One last question, is why GPU 4 is only running at ⨥/- 4 Mhs?

Do I need to tickle it's personal G spot?

IF it only were that easy 😎

Hmm not sure, sounds like a driver issue to me.
Try set SMOS on a usb stick and see What happening, preconfigured OS.

Defo have Gremlins in the area...

Now can longer connect to the pool. Nor any of the alternatives. Roll Eyes

Try go to peripherals in bios TheN Above 4g Decoding set to Enable

WooHoo!!!!

YOU FUCKIN STAR!!!!

So wtf is Above 4G and whytf does it get in the way?

Fantastic... So I can return to mining Ripple and BitConnect on MTGox?

What is our PCI-E settings like in your BIOS?

Didn't see any Pci-e settings in the BIOS

Its AT M.I.T TheN go to max link speed and set to Gen2

didn't work with the 1000w PSU

FWIW...

My two cents worth, is that the problem lies with us not using a single 1200W PSU

Unfortunately, the web is full of articles which claim that we can use two PSU's to mine BitConnect.

Trevon James promised me.... Grin

You already got 5 cards working on the 1000W PSU, correct?
Try unplugging all cards from the system and boot it up with a single card + riser on the 400w PSU and the motherboard on the 1000W PSU. That way you can isolate your problem and find out if it's the second PSU or a software issue. If the card doesn't show up something's wrong on the hardware side. If it works the issue lies in the software.

Not sure if it wise connecting the risers on a different GPU to the motherboard.

Try and set pcie speed to GEN2 in bios

Did not see a Gen2 option in the BIOS.

What would it be under?

Try and set pcie speed to GEN2 in bios
IF it dosent help, Try enable Above 4g decoding.
IF it dosent work try to update bios to H22
Try go to peripherals in bios and set mining mode enabled.

Hi Stingi...

Not faulty risers as have chopped and changed every combination.

Have the dual PSU cable but it is not helping.

Seems to me that we need to buy a 1200w PSU but that is not gonna happen any time soon (after our 3 grand initial outlay

There has to be a way of using the two PSU's

Just how... Huh

Gonna leave it with 5 GPU's mining ripple. Should be a Bitcoin millionaire before I know it.

Have you already checked if it could be faulty risers? That'd be the first thing I'd look at.
If the riser isn't the issue it could be that you're not getting both of your PSU's working together. When running multiple PSU's in the same system you either have to jump start the second PSU with a paper clip or get one of these cables -> https://www.amazon.com/Main-Second-Power-Supply-Cable/dp/B00JIV9BRK

If it's a software issue I'm of limited assistance, I'm more familiar with Windows than Ubuntu.
