OK. It looks like nvOC thinks that a 'MSI 1080ti DUKE OC' has a TDP of 280W. So when I set power limit to 175W, it factors that this is 62.5% of TDP. But TDP for this card is actually 250W and 62.5% of that is 156W. Hence seeing 149W.
So as a workaround, I set power limit to 200W (71.4% of TDP) and it will now limit it to 178W or so - which is what I want.
Glad you got it sorted. So as a workaround, I set power limit to 200W (71.4% of TDP) and it will now limit it to 178W or so - which is what I want.
It's always best to do a 1-by-1 when doing different brands/models; that's the main reason that most people will advise that if you buy XY, then always buy XY (because otherwise you just never know what will be funky).

Could anyone help me on how to mine sha-3(keccak) algo with ccminer? Or if it isn't possible yet, maybe add support for it in the near future?
How can I troubleshoot an issue where it seems that one or two GPU's aren't sucking as much power as they should. I have set all 1080ti's to 175W and the single 1070 to 125W; there is one 1080ti running at 149W.

If you're going to undervolt and overclock, add 1 card at a time and find out what works best for that card; and then do so with each card (one at a time). Don't be afraid to lose 1 day doing benchmarks vs losing $800 because BrandX ModelY doesn't work with SettingW. You'll thank yourself in the long run. 
Thanks for the comment.
To be fair, that screenshot was taken with no OC applied. I didn't expect a 1080ti to behave like that by just limiting power to 175W.
I will test tonight.
At the risk of sounding like an ass...
You limited the power of the card by -75W, overclocked it by +50, and you are surprised by a lowered output result

I have done the above for many other 1080ti's and this is the first one performing poorly (under 600 sols)
My windows rig runs 1080ti's at 175W / +75core / +600mem and is rock solid at 680 sols.
580 sols is a clear anomaly amoungst 1080tis across 4 manufacturers.

I applied a modest OC of +50/+200 across the range.

I have an older image of nvOC, and the machine is complaining it is running out of space on the USB. I looked and see a bunch of stuff in the /var/tmp, but do not have the perms apparently to clean that stuff up. What is the process for cleaning up the drive so that it doesn't run out of space? Thanks.
open guake and enter:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
should free up some space by removing unused system files.
Thank you Fullzero. I will give that a try!
When you set a power number, that's a power limit, not a power setting.
If you're talking about GPU2 drawing less power... is it overclocked differently? And is it really identical hardware? Sometimes two cards look the same at a glance, but have different details and capabilities. I have a rig with all GTX 1070 cards, but they have different Min Power Limit and Max Power Limit capabilities.
Thanks for the response. So the question then is why is GPU2 not drawing more power? a 1080ti at 49°C / 590 sols
They are not identical hardware. Due to various sales etc I have plugged in;
2 * ASUS 1080ti ROG STRIX
1 * EVGA 1080ti SC Black
1 * MSI 1080ti Duke OC
1 * Gigabyte 1070 (GPU1)
All that is certain is that GPU1 is the 1070.
I applied a modest OC of +50/+200 across the range.
Or, perhaps that 149W is the result of that Ti protesting being underpowered by 75W

My first instinct is that I'm asking too much of my 1000W PSU

it seems like most ETH pools require a email field, where you can put a email or passphrase in the miner, then you need to use that on the pool webpage to change payout settings..... is there a way to add this into the 1BASH file, or is there already a default that this os uses in that field? im beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out.
To prevent automatic updates in the future:
use your favorite editor, open /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic and change:
To:
and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
to

ps: Seriously, why was this ON?

Very nice suggestion Doodkeen,
This is a community driven project and fullzero is doing the best job ever without asking for a dime (unlike other Linux mining distros)
Some times in the middle of the road we miss some small points that are so obvious to others,
So I'm kindly ask every Linux Guru here to do their best to look for improvements and fixes for nvOC
Feel free to PM me or post in forum any suggestion you have.
Thank you all.
Yep, please feel free and provide the valuable feedback, so that we can make nvOC even better.
Coming to the error, no one expected this sort of failure on this scale!! Hope we identify these sort of issues bit earlier.
I think the problem is while Nvidia driver was updating wdog restarted the rig because of low utilization and that cause a miss configured Nvidia driver,
I think solution is to prevent wdog from restarting the rig if dpkg is running.
Papampi, you are absolutely right I think solution is to prevent wdog from restarting the rig if dpkg is running.
I had this happen to 2 of my rigs. I will change all the update settings for -1.4 except security updates. My bad.
- disable automatic downloads of updates (drivers, system, nvOC)
- disable automatic installation of updates (drivers, system, nvOC)
I have a rig behind a firewall and absolutely no important data on a nvOC rig, so all I care is about stability.
And stability is more fragile because of USB key usage.
The logging is disabled by default, so there would be no writing to the USB key if I would disable updates.
The nvOC is pretty stable even now, but I think that disabling all updates would help with the stability of the system.
Of course I would also periodically update USB key with the whole image of nvOC, but only every month or so, when you publish the new version of stable nvOC.
fullzero, you mentioned active cooling for 1080tis with 133 CFM 120mm fans.
I’m interested in this solution, but I’m not sure if I will be able to put it together. Can you please share some details.
Do you remove original fans and cover so that only the cooler fins remain?
How do you mount fans?
How do you power the fans?

I leave the shroud (GPU fans and casing) on; although if you were super exacting it would probably be best to remove these; not worth the time IMO.
The way my open frames are (see one of the demo videos); I just zip tie them to the front (blowing into the 1080tis) and power them via a 3x fan to molex adapter / then molex to whatever is available with the rigs PSU. I get fans from Hawkfish007 https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/hawkfish007-352509; he includes the 3x fan to molex adapters with the fans.
I couldn't see this setup on the demo videos; I watched v0014demo, v0018demo and v0019demo. I think there are no 1080tis in these videos, but I think I get the picture.
Did anybody had to replace a failed original fan on a 1080ti?
I think a good way would be to remove all fans and their casing and somehow mount a high pressure fan (Like Corsair SP120 High Static Pressure 2350 U/min).
Some original fans on 1080tis are of low quality and will probably fail soon.
Does anybody have some experience with these type of modifications?
EDIT: OK, It's working. I had to change to EWBF miner and remove the $ from ZEN miner name

Hi, just moved to NVOC, loving it. I had to mess around with what miner the bash file was using as it was not installed. I have a really noob question if someone could help me please.
1. How do I set up supernova pools that require a password and user id an example would be great thanks
2. Can I set up spill over pools?
Many thanks

Need help:
Rig has been running for like a month no issues, got this https://ibb.co/i85CWR error 2 days ago.. system will restart and go into Linux but won't pass the login screen, inserted minrr1 password, it works, doesn't say password is wrong but won't load it up.. fine, I reinstalled a fresh copy of nvoc on the hard drive and it worked for 24 hours and now I'm getting the same exact message and Won't go pass the login screen
