Hi guys,
I've mobo ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ with 8x GPUs 1080Ti to today. Today I bougth next 3 GPUs, connect them, but detected next ONE card only. Hash power decreace too. With 8 gpus I had about 6400 Sol/s, now have 5500 Sol/s... Sad

There are some limitations for GPUs count or any settings for nvOS?

See nvidia-smi:

I connected to the rig via ssh . . but I don't understand what to do after that? I followed the guide I quoted on the last page but it is not working for me?

I'm basically stuck @ this point

just type following :

Code:

screen -ls

=> + return it's to see the actual running jobs

if you are mining, normaly, you should see 3 jobs :
1) the miner
2) temp (assuming temp supervision is on yes in your bash file)
3) watchdog (assuming wdog supervision is on yes in your bash file)

to see each job type the following :

Code:

screen -r miner

=> + return it's to see your mining jobs

Code:

ctrl + a + d

=> to exit the miner windows

same for the other jobs

Code:

screen -r temp

=> + return

Code:

ctrl + a + d

Code:

screen -r wdog

=> + return

Code:

ctrl + a + d

then type :

Code:

exit

=> + return it's to close your ssh session but the jobs still running

if you want to change your bash file, just type :

Code:

nano 1bash

=> + return nano it's a text editor - you can change what you want then ctrl + o to write out / then return /
then ctrl + x to close nano

if you change your bash file, you need to kill the miner
so for that, just type :

Code:

pkill -e miner

=> + return
after some seconds, your mining process restart by itself
to see if all working ok, just type :

Code:

screen -ls

Regards.

both of those commands just leave me with this?

guys input with this? still haven't SSH'd in

Cool, thanks! I'll look again in the previous pages to catch up with this discussion.

Sorry, it wasn't in this discussion, but on bitcointalk.org somewhere. You'll have to have a google to find it! Regardless, I think they're still working on full zpool integration into nvOC. But anyways, I don't know anything as I don't use any of these services.

yes; I'm working on integrating most of the zpool algos (with the best help from @papampi).

👍👍👍👍

Guys; I thought of keeping all the best OC settings in one place for all the available cards in the market.

I would need your help to input your best OC finds bit of details; happy to update it time to time; it would help us hit the rock bottom (even for a beginner).

You can PM me or Post a reply on this post or request on this post :

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/all-oc-settings-in-one-place-2176936

Hope I get good support from our nvOC community members to make this possible

This is URL :

http://krypto-mining.blogspot.co.uk/

I've only started; any suggestions welcome

That's a good idea, congrats on the initiative! I've visited your website and would like to suggest to include a column specifying the exact brand and model of the card. And even with the same brand and model, I've seen differences regarding the maximum stable OC values, probably due to different memory manufacturer or other slight differences in manufacturing. But with your idea it will be definitely *a lot* easier to know what values should be stable, and play with slight differences.

I'll PM you soon with my cards' OC specs.

Thanks @dbolivar; I came up with this for all the beginners, who had lots of questions about best OC and spending loads of time on tuning rather than earning.

I will definitely add the additional column today; I agree, I've seen differences too.

I got your PM, thank you so much for support; we can continue discussing more about it on this topic (I would rather not hijack the nvOC topic Cheesy

)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/all-oc-settings-in-one-place-2176936.0

I would also like to add posts about some simple things we can do with nvOC (after confirming with fullzero - havent asked yet); as going through these pages is hectic time consuming.

Thank you so much for your support on this.

Thanx for your reply.

It has to go like this:

Worker is what you add on suprnova portal

Code:

ZEN_WORKER="gaol"

Address is your username for logging into suprnova portal

Code:

ZEN_ADDRESS="gaol"

Now all working fine ...

After some minutes I have >750 sol/s per GPU. Is it a good number for a gtx1080ti ?

I probably need to twicking powerlimit / cc / cm ...

By the way, powerlimit is a watt number but I just don't know if cc and/or cm are for Mhz or % ?

What's your favorite overclocking or dowclocking numbers (powerlimit / cc / cm) for a MSI Geforce gtx1080ti Gaming OC ?

In advance, thanks for your help.

_S_C_

Glad it worked.

Speaking of OC's , I only have 1 rig, which has only 1060's.

I can suggest the best for it but not much about 1080 TBH.

nvOC doesn't use %

I would suggest to try 80% of your power limit, my 1060 power limit is 120 and 80% of it is 96.

Core clock, fullzero suggested me in the beginning to increase 10 at a time until it crashes.

Once you find the stable CC - core clock then increase the MC - memory clock 50 at a time until you see the number of sols stable

This is just my illustration from my experience of 1060. If I were you, I would Google first and try what people suggesting, there are lots of topics about this

Tip: Every algorithm and every coin is different, so you need to change it depending on algorithm/coin you mine.

PS: Welcome to the Jungle Cheesy

Thanks for your reply damNmad.

As you mentioned and as suggested by fullzero, I'm gonna try to oc core clock 10 by 10 until crashes.

Once the cc is stable, I'm gonna try to oc memory clock by 50 until stable sols levels.

Regards.

_S_C_

P.S.: many thanks to fullzero and all the co-workers for this amazing mining nvoc' os.

Not a problem; for such miners like us I've started this blog where you can find the best OC settings for all the cards (just started yesterday; would eventually add all the cards time to time).

Can someone please tell me where the logs are stored for claymore miner ?

I have a GPU which is causing the miner to reset and I would like to see which GPU it is from the log

You should enable logging in 3main
find the claymore line in 3main and add L to arguments like this :

from

Code:

screen -dmS miner $HCD ...

to

Code:

screen -dmSL miner $HCD .....

then you get a screenlog.0

Anyone tested this distro with the Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ ?

All I get is a purple screen followed by the Ubuntu logo then a black screen and the USB key flashing forever. Tried 3 different USB drive same problem with one and the other one gives me a grub error.

Lot of us are using this board, works well with nvOC.
You shouldn't be getting grub error if imaging was good... have you checked SHA256 hash? Use HDDRawCopy to image the USB key. Have you connected molex connectors to the motherboard? How many risers are connected to one SATA cable? With 1060 and 1050 you can connect 3 risers on one SATA cable, don't connect more than 3. If this was done, then try booting with 1 GPU only, see if it will boot, then shutdown and add another one, and so on...

Is it sort of trivial to make the adjustments in nvOC for going over 13 GPUs? I should be crossing that threshold soon enough..

The default setting in nvOC support up to 14 GPU's. With a bit of editing (1bash, 3main, auto_temp, xorg.conf) you should be able to add support for more GPU's.

Someone reported that got 19 GPU's to work with a bit of editing, but do you really want to add more GPU's to one motherboard? If something goes wrong, all 19 GPU's will go down and not mine... not to mention troubleshooting nightmares if one GPU or riser start acting up, then there is power strugle...

Great idea damNmad. Fellow nvOC'ers, lets post our OC settings there and build a database and help eachother squeeze the most out of this great mining OS

I'm loving this os so far.

So what happens when my gpu crashes? does it restart nvOC(even at "soft" crash) or what?
I'm also assuming it'll handle network connection loss as well?

Thank you all.

Edit:

NOTE: If you are connecting a monitor directly to the motherboard (don't do this);
only connect a monitor to the primary GPU (the one in the 16x slot closest to the CPU)

if someone can tell me the reason for this, please let me know, because it seems to work fine.

If you enable watchdog in your 1bash file, then yes, it will restart the mining process when it detects low usage in hope to resolve the issue, if unsuccessful, it will reboot the whole rig. Watchdog also checks the network connection.

The reason for not using the on-board video is that it causes problems with the X server (xorg, window manager, graphical interface) and overal overclocking. I giess you might be able to use very low OC and get away with it, or you might skip this on-board GPU when overclocking and not include it in the mining process but that involves lots of messing with lots of files. It's best if you disable this on-board GPU in the bios.

Guys I cant see the mining stats, instead on my screen it says "
Process in screen miner; attach with: screen -r miner

press F12 and write screen -r miner and it'll show you

didn't do anything after i press f12 and then i type:
screen -r miner

anything else i should try?

It seems you are using localy attached monitor to your rig but you are using REMOTE setting in your 1bash.

Edit your 1bash file, choose "LOCAL" on the "LOCALorREMOTE" setting and you will see the mining window when you connect monitor to your rig. Once you edit and save, you will have to kill and restart the mining process or just reboot your rig.

REMOTE should be used when you don't have monitor attached to your rig (eg. remote location) and you connect to your rig trough ssh.

LOCAL should be used when you have monitor physically attached to your mining rig.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nicehashcom-vs-zpoolca-vs-miningpoolhubcom-and-the-winner-is-2067256

So there is an interesting comment in that thread about the tests being done while altcoins were rising and with zpool/mph lagging in conversion they performed better, vs nicehash "instant" conversation to bitcoin. In a down market, nicehash may get better results (?) ...something to think about.
