SALFTER_NICEHASH_PROFIT_SWITCHING vs SALFTER_MPH_PROFIT_SWITCHING

what the difference?

One's for mining at NiceHash.  The other's for mining at MiningPoolHub.

Hi All, quick question, anyone try connecting over eth-proxy (eth-proxy.py) to nicehash?
If so, have you had any issues passing the rig id over the proxy to nicehash (eth-proxy.py uses "/" while nicehash likes ".")

PS
I am aware of the nicehash integration in nvOC and the available stratum proxies in the included miners, however, I am investigating this particular path at the moment.

I don't remember using/seeing such thing and don't recall any other asking for it!

Do you mind sharing bit more detailed info?

Random GPU drop to 0 when mining Neoscrypt
is it normal ?
Or my OC is high ?

1070 OC:

Code:
    POWERLIMIT_WATTS=140
__CORE_OVERCLOCK=125
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=600



Code:
==> 5_restartlog <==
      GPU_COUNT:  6
GPU UTILIZATION:  100 100 99 98 0 100

Wed Sep  6 12:54:45 IRDT 2017 - GPU under threshold found

Wed Sep  6 12:54:45 IRDT 2017 - Low Utilization Detected: 3main will reinit if there are 6 consecutive failures
                  35 Failures Before reinit

I've noticed this too, sometimes all GPU's are not utilised completely; for eg sometime only 4 out of 8 are mining!!

That's where the WATCH_DOG comes into action and restarts mining, most of the times after restart it just mines normally (with full utilisation).


Can you explain to me exactly how the watchdog works / is it auto enabled on nvOC_19?

Watch Dog job is to watch for any thing you feed it
In nvoc IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG job is to watch for mining failures
either if a gpu has utilization lower than 90% or miner stops or ....
it keeps watching for failures and restart miner or if needed restart system for example if gpu lost

and Maxximus007_AUTO_TEMPERATURE_CONTROL job is to control your temp and keep it below the limit, either higher the fan speed or lower power if fan is at 100%

You can enable or disable them in nvOC-0019

 
Code:
Maxximus007_AUTO_TEMPERATURE_CONTROL="YES"
 
IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG="YES"

SSH is always the best way to control linux, forget about teamviewer

I'm not by my rig at the moment is watchdog auto enabled in 19? Anything one could do to mess up watchdog and it will restart the rig by error?

Has there been a consensus on an ideal GPU operating temp for mining -- more specifically for 1080 ti / 1070

My rigs are cooled my outdoor air so . .  massive fluctuation in temps compared with temp controlled rig rooms

Currently I am using the standard 75% fan speed

Dont think there could be restart miner or system by mistake, WatchDog check system output and if there was an error it will kick in to solve it.
I think if you have fluctuated temp environment its best to set temp control so fan speed goes up/down when dont needed or needed and dont wear out your GPU fans for no reason.
We always think about our GPU but less about GPU fans, they can easily worn out too, I know they are cheap.



whats a realistic temp setup in nvOC then as in the summer the room temp is 70-100 F ? Thanks for the help btw

Now all works fine including overclocking and powerlimits, just one trouble left - if I connect 8-th GPU, nvOS hangs on boot Sad

Allright, i've done with the hanging-on-boot problem on z270-p rig with eight gp106-100 onboard. When I discovered this issue for the first time I have tried to update BIOS right away, done it, and the problem persists. My mistake was that I've tried to update BIOS online from Asus server. Later I've discovered that online update's latest BIOS version is not the same as the latest BIOS version on their website. Only when 0810 version of BIOS was installed, my rig started to boot normaly with 8 GPUs connected.

So I suppose we should add this info about Asus z270-p to FAQ - nvOS works normally with 8 GPU on this motherboard only from BIOS ver.0810.

Also important current info about GP106-100 - in my case full headless rig with monitor never connected requires Xorg reconfigure to start mining:

Code:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
sudo reboot

Hi, i just upgraded from 0018 to 0019 and my 1060 3g with same settings (cc100, mc800, pl75, Dual ETH_SC, dcri 40) shows 3-2 Mh less in 0019 then 0018. What is wrong, may be some additional settings?



Sometimes a new claymore version will do worse with specific GPUs.  My guess is thats what is happening.  Try changing:

Code:
CLAYMORE_VERSION="9_8"   

to

Code:
CLAYMORE_VERSION="9_7"   

Thanks it helps. But only if i am mining ETH solo. When i switch to dual ETH_SC claymore 9_7 the hashrate ETH goes down, but SC goes up. I noticed if i change argument -dcri nothing happens, doesnt matter do i do -dcri 0, -dcri 40 or -dcri 100. Is it possible something wrong with 2unix or 3main setings becase -dcri argument doesn't Influence


Try manually switching dual mining off on one of the cards after it has started by pressing a number 0-9 (ie.e GPU0, GPU1, GPU2).  Pressing a number once to turn the mining for that GPU off, press it again to go into ETH only, check numbers, and you can resume dual mining by pressing the same number once more (you will see text of what state you are in while your doing this in terminal).    If it is caused by the dual mining, try to manually lower the DCRI in the terminal by using the - key.  ( + key = increased hash rate of second coin, - key = lower hashrate of second coin)

Thank you, i just tried this.  My 1bash setting has -dcri 40 argument, but when i use + and - keys dcri starts changing from 70, so my setting 40 not works.
 When i manualy lower it to 40 and then restart terminal miner, it again become 70

In FL I have my 1070 rigs outside in the garage with a fan blowing threw them to provide ambient air so they do not get heat-soaked.   Temps stay at or below 65c with max fan speed during the day at 50%.

Download the Linux version on rig from this link :

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B69wv2iqszefdFZUV2toUG5HdlU

extract it (right click extract here)

Go to /home/m1/eth (can do it using GUI)

rename the 9_8 to 9_8_xx

copy the latest claymore folder from downloads and paste it in the above eth folder and rename it to 9_8.

It should work normally (this is the easiest work around, you don't need to edit any 1bash or 3main).

I've seen a little increase in dual mining lbc hashrates.


Hope it helps Smiley

Thank you! I was pretty sure the folder would have to be coded in, but never thought about using an existing folder as a temp solution!!    Is it only an increase for AMD lbc hr or also nvidia?

I've tested on nvidia, seen a little increase for LBC

A Sempron might have difficulty with additional GPUs and some ALGOs; I previously used all Sempron's with BTC / LTC gpu rigs:  they were solid for BTC, but had some issues with LTC with more than 4x GPUs.  I haven't used one in a long time, so I have no idea how they fair with current algos.



Hmm interesting you brought that up. I use the same board on my personal computer. But I upgraded it for gaming to a 6 core processor and doubled my ram. Anyway, I run 3 gpu no problems on Windows 10. But with the board with the Sempron I could never get it to install past 3 gpu on Windows. And I am also having some freezing problems in Ubuntu during mining. Thinking maybe I should upgrade...



As far as I know K10 Amds use AGP-Gart for their IOMMU. You might get problems on these system because you're running out of DMA-Space, try using 'iommu=memapper=4' (maybe 5) as your boot-parameter, you can look up more details in the kernel documentation.

I think you are probably right on the memory. That adjustment you made, I'm a little too new to this to really figure that out how to do that right now.

So, I've figured out a few things (maybe obvious to some). To mine on supernova, I did not need the tcp part just zen.suprnova.cc with the port it's own value and it worked swimmingly. I'm glad because that's my favorite pool.

Also, back to the memory thing. I have a lot of issues when I leave the miner running in unbuntu with the hashrates and shares displayed in real time. A lot of times mining will just stop or I'll freeze. However, if it goes to the quake window and I just close all that out then I have no issues. I woke up this morning and I went all night no problems. Sometimes I do like to watch the mining window to optimize a bit, but hey I'm not complaining. I could not get my rig to work in Windows 10.

Just out of curiosity, a question for anyone really. I have that older Asus M5A97 R2.0 motherboard with the Sempron processor. If you guys were going to upgrade your rig, would you get a better AM3+ processor or would you replace the whole board and processor? I'm thinking I'd like to eventually go to 6-8 GPU's on this rig (running 4 1070s currently).

I used that MoBo and CPU since 2013 and until about April last year. I had a good run with it.

I have made varous builds since then with Asrock and MSI MOBOs and Pentium CPUs. Recently, I got a good deal on the Gigabyte GA 110 - D3A MOBO and a pentium G4400 CPU. This latest combo works as good as any. You can likely find them at NewEgg or Amazon etc. Shop around.

EDIT: Here's a review:

Anone managed to start NVOC version 19 with built-in  VGA? I heared this version finally have a fix, for using on rigs built on GP106-100 GPUs

As I can see on the first page, it is still advised to start without monitor attached if you have only p106 in your rig.

I have tried to start full headless, with pure p106 mode enabled, but all I get are errors in logs, mining process doesn't start. Does anyone know why this could happen?

(I have asus z270-p with 8 p106-100, screen was attached only to modify bios settings as described for z270-a, usb stick was never attached with monitor at the same time)

i also have following errors in syslog, in clean nvos019 install. I suppose it's kinda tails from previous usage of "SanDisk_Cruzer_Blade", because I've never used such device.

After a little research i've finally launched mining full headless rig of asus z270-p with 7 gp106-100 onboard. Problem was in xorg configuration, nvidia utility helped to solve it:

[code]
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
sudo reboot

Now all works fine including overclocking and powerlimits, just one trouble left - if I connect 8-th GPU, nvOS hangs on boot Sad

Motherboard H110, 13pc p106, monitor connected on board
I have about the same problem, but for some reason your decision didn’t fit. I have one error

Anone managed to start NVOC version 19 with built-in  VGA? I heared this version finally have a fix, for using on rigs built on GP106-100 GPUs

As I can see on the first page, it is still advised to start without monitor attached if you have only p106 in your rig.

I have tried to start full headless, with pure p106 mode enabled, but all I get are errors in logs, mining process doesn't start. Does anyone know why this could happen?

(I have asus z270-p with 8 p106-100, screen was attached only to modify bios settings as described for z270-a, usb stick was never attached with monitor at the same time)
