okay  nvOC 0018 has so many changes and alterations to it  I can't follow them all.

at the moment I am running windows simply to get skunk to run on nicehash

I would prefer to run linux nvOC 0019  and have it as easy to set up as 0017 was.


I (barely) managed to run the skunk algo on nvOC (on suprnova pool)... Here's basically what I did

1) Install openssl 1.0.1      (Sorry I'm new to this forum so I don't know how to link to other answers, but it's post #2515   on this thread by darklow

2) I used a different ccminer (ccminer 2.2) downloaded from github but after that, all commands worked like
./autogen.sh
./configure.sh
./build.sh   (or make / make install)

3) Change 1bash file  (Username, miner location, pool address etc. etc.)

(Oh, and also I think it is best if you do all the steps in the same computer which runs the GPUs, not sure why though Smiley)

Hope I helped !

(This is my first 'helpful' post in bitcointalk.... Cheers !!!)

I can get nvOC 0017 to work and have been stick with it.

hopefully nvOC 0019 comes out soon  and it is easier to get it to work then nvOC 0018

at the moment I am running windows simply to get skunk to run on nicehash

I would prefer to run linux nvOC 0019  and have it as easy to set up as 0017 was.

I will await nvOC 0019  as I have done nvOC 0018  four times four fails.

Hey, fullzero!

Tell me, when do you fix for P106 cards? I can not collect 40 farms already for 13 cards, because Does not work razgon on your assembly .... please give it 1 hour. I already threw you access to the rig on which there are 13 P106 cards. Access to you in private messages.

Hey FZ,

I ran into an issue that I can't figure out how to fix.  I've got 12 gpus on a TB250-BTC Pro, and all of them work fine, except the last one GPU12 (PCI:12:0:0) which doesn't seem to start an xserver instance on boot.  Because it doesn't load xserver, the fan and power settings are unavailable for editing, so the card runs too hot and causes power throttling, and occasionally a reboot.

Any idea how to fix that?  I checked the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and it looks fine from what I can tell (all display device settings are there and look the same).

Thanks for your help.

Hi fullzero.

I've come across another problem related to p106-100 cards which is the following :

Been running 11 cards on h110 asrock and then tried to connect 12th one and everytime I do it Nvidia drivers seem to crash no matter what I do. It's not a hardware problem as I have tested this card in 11 cards set up and everything boots fine, just the 12th one seem to crash everything and I have to reflash the OS again to make it work. When I try with fresh OS and 12 cards its the same problem again, the nvidia-smi file isn't found and the claymore can't initialize CUDA drivers .

Has anyone seen this before and maybe knows the way to deal with this? Maybe I need to correct something in 1bash to make it work but so far all my tries were a failure and the miner couldn't find drivers.

Thanks for your help.

Don't know is that's the problem or not
but I hope it'l help

H110 Pro BTC+ has 5 power connectors
ATX power 1 (4)
ATX 12V (1)
MOLEX 1 (21)
MOLEX 2 (19)
SATA power 1 (18)

ASRock in their manual  (page 20) suggest to connect them to power supply
http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/H110%20Pro%20BTC+.pdf


Yeah I know, all 5 are connected to the ATX PSU and risers+cards are powered from another PSU.

UPD. Somehow managed to get all 12 cards working but in genoil instead of claymore , still have no idea what the problem was since I've done everything like swapping risers and cards before and this hasn't got me anywhere, but genoil gives lower hashrate then claymore, so does anyone know or can advice on how to make claymore work aat this set up?

I see these codes in 1bash:
Code:
if [ $P106_100 == "YES" ]
then
XORG="OK"
fi

Does that mean I can setup a rig with all of p106-100 cards and connect monitor to the motherboard directly?

In theory yes; although I haven't tested this myself.  Although the P106_100's will also likely not OC.  I really need 2x P106_100's to test.  I tried to connect to ivoldemar's rig with them yesterday; but my connection was refused.  I'll try again today.
my p106*8 rig will be ready in 2 days, you can ssh to it to do some tests.

Got a rig with 6x1080ti, mining ZEC

Was doing fine for about 2 weeks but now GPU4 stops:

https://i.imgur.com/iXJoYLH.jpg


Watchdog restarts the mining process but GPU4 doesn't recover.

https://i.imgur.com/oorGsXW.jpg

Team viewer and miner freezes when I try to access the Guake terminal, but the rig is still accessible via SSH and seems like the RSS process also still works because the rig is not rebooted.

I already replaced raiser, didn't help.
I dropped OC down to ZERO both on GPU and Memory, didn't help.
I raised POWER from 180 to 230, no effect on stability.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot?
try lower power  say 160

or pull the bad card run it on a tester mobo  that runs troubled cards.

Your tester mobo  needs to be able to run 2 or 3 cards  not six

and if you don't have a tester mobo buy a cheap one like this


https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128980

Found the problem, it was related to the PSU connector board:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Desktop-ATX-24Pin-Dual-PSU-Power-Supply-Sync-Starter-Extender-Cable-Connector-/302285871050?epid=22006157212&hash=item4661a457ca:g:VxgAAOSwj25Y8cz6

All my rigs are dual PSU and all of them worked fine. Just this one started to act up after 2 weeks. I removed all cards from one of the PSUs and the rig crashed anyway, at that point it was clear to me it must have something to do with the PSU connector. I replaced it and it's been running now for 2-3 days.

Seems to me it's a common problem, looking at the recent posts of IAmNotAJeep.

IAmNotAJeep Thought that quoting everything gonna create a mess

Have you been using 2 ATX PSUs or one was server PSU like in my set up? I don't have quick access to new PSUs so swapping them gonna take about 5 days to one week , it's very strange how this error seems to appear in completely unpredictable timings. I also worked out strange thing that when I disconnect the PSUs from each other it seems more stable than with the rele connector synchronizing them , when they are connected it takes a couple of minutes to freeze and otherwise it can work for a couple of hours even with more then 8 cards( using 11 atm seems to be impossible for some reason to plug in all 12 without something crashing).

I have been building new rigs and troubleshooting existing ones in a mine.  I would try IAmNotAJeep's suggestion; I have also had dual joined PSUs cause problems before. 

I have seen many similar problems (even with 6 gpu rigs) and then also had them disappear when I remove all the trouble GPUs and make another rig out of them.  This has been the most time effective way of resolving all GPU problems; however, it does have a high cost in regard to using additional components.




Thanks fullzero for your reply.

I am going to find parts and cables to add 2 molexes to my server PSU and try to use single PSU and see how that works out as now it seems okayish with 11 cards , just the 12th one causing lots of trouble with drivers and the system overall. Also as I have 11 P106-100 cards available and you can probably if you need connect to my rig to try and see what the problem in OC is , teamviewer or what do you need to use? Would highly appreciate you having a solution for this since these cards can run up to 25 MH/s and now all I can get from them is 21 which is 15% difference and since I was thinking of making over 5 of those rigs this makes huge impact on profitability.

If you can somehow deal with OC issue on P106-100 I think me as well as other users using those cards wouldn't hesitate on making good donation for your work since this system is probably one of the best if not the best for Nvidia Cards atm.

Hi!
I'm about to build a rig with Pentium G4400.
But after reading about Skylake issues with hyper threading don't know
should I use it or better to return and exchange it with i3?
i have a rig runs 8 cards with G3900, no problem.

I have a rig with G3900 and 10 cards, but it seems that the G3900 is bottlenecking the system. First core uses 100%, the other around 20%.

Is there a way to split the workload on both cores (If I could run EWBF miner in two terminals or is there some other way)?

Can somebody please help me, i'm a noob in linux.


nvOC is a great system. Thanks for all the work.

I tried opening two miners in two screens with some change in 1bash:

screen -dmS minerX1 $HCD --eexit 3 --fee $EWBF_PERCENT --cuda_devices 0 1 2 3 4 --pec --server $ZEC_POOL --user $ZECADDR --pass z --port $ZEC_PORT;
screen -dmS minerX2 $HCD --eexit 3 --fee $EWBF_PERCENT --cuda_devices 5 6 7 8 9 --pec --server $ZEC_POOL --user $ZECADDR --pass z --port $ZEC_PORT;

After the change there are two processes in System monitor, but CPU usage is still the same (100% one core, 20% second core).

Is it possible that System monitor doesn't show the correct CPU utilization?
Will it help if I change the CPU from G3900 to i3 or perhaps i5?

Fullzero, I see You have 13 GPUs on Asrock H110 PRO BTC (I am using the same motherboard). What kind of CPU do you have so that everything is working smoothly?



Using a kabylake i5;

I'm making another 13x rig soon with a g4560; I'll let you know if it works well as well.


Thanks for the info. I will buy an i5. It looks like the G3900 is not strong enough.
Regarding g4560: Is the Intel HyperThreading Bug fixed for ASrock H110 PRO BTC by default?

And thanks for all the work on nvOC and great support by you and all the other forum members.



g4560 works as well.

I don't believe the H110 chipset has the HT bug; but I could be wrong.  I also haven't tested with a skylake CPU.  If one is buying a new CPU for this mobo; I recommend using a Kabylake g4560 or higher as it will unlock 2400 for ram.

Hi,
same problem here about CPU usage. Rig with Skylake G3900 on H110+13Gpus 1060. Using Claymore; if I disable some gpus (keys 0-9, so only 10 can be disable) the cpu usage goes down almost to normal. System is centos7+gnome but I tested with Nvoc and I got exactly the same behavior. With OC the cpu load is bigger, very heavy. When no OC gets a lot better but still too heavy.
By the way please I'd like to know how Nvoc starts on bootup. Check cron and unity startup scripts etc but found nothing.

Thx all for sharring
