Hi All,

I have decided to give nvOC a go, I am using an older Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P (Socket LGA1366) board and an i7 920 CPU.  I have two EVGA GTX 1080ti on risers in both PCI-E x16 slots.
I am able to boot fine but things just are not stable, I can run for about 15 hours but later GPU0 drops to about 150-170w and SOLs are suffering, I can reboot and get it working but it seems to happen again.

I have no idea if any BIOS changes need to be made to get this running stable or not, does anyone have any idea what I can try?

Also if I kill the mining process and make changes to the onebash config it doesn't seem to accept the changes, more specially the fan speed.  I attempt to launch the miner again and get the below error but the process does start;


Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help`
       for usage information.


When the mining process starts do you see OC messages like this?

https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs13.postimg.org%2Fq08huqnyv%2FIMG_0270.jpg%26t%3D577%26c%3Dyq0szP4ICxv47w&t=577&c=q_tbQ_FaeljjYQ

If you don't:

At any point did you boot with the monitor connected to the motherboard?

Did you at anytime boot with only one GPU attached?

If either of these is the case: ensure the monitor is attached to the primary GPU ( the one connected to the 16x slot closest to the CPU )

then follow this process:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mining-os-nvoc-1854250

I only booted with a monitor connected the first time, now it is completely headless.
Yes I might have booted with only one GPU attached at one point.
Thank you I will follow that process.  If I re-image the USB key and boot completely headless should I be seeing the OC messages via SSH as well?

With v0015 you would have to enable openssh server before you could SSH in.  You would also have to be able to know the rigs IP; which can be done in several ways.

With v0016 you can enable openssh server in oneBash, I would recommending trying it and seeing if it solves the problem.

I have now also tested with v0016, the mining process starts fine with all OC settings when viewing directly on the rig.  However I am still getting the error via SSH when trying to start.

I will respond to all posts later today: sorry if I have taken a longtime to respond.  I will make sure I respond to everyone at some point tonight.

v0016 is out see the OP for a link.

I didn't implement all requested changes, but I think I got most of them.  If I missed yours with v0016 I will get to it soon.

I have only tested this build on 8 rigs; so let me know if you find any bugs.  Grin

Change Log:
v0016
  auto repair xorg: fixes single GPU not OCing bug (will auto detect / repair / reboot if using a single GPU or the xorg file has otherwise been damaged)
  implemented Maxximus007 suggestion to enable expect-less oneBash
  Thanks Maxximus007  Smiley
  powerlimit not setting bug is fixed (even for very slow USB keys)
  added Teamviewer with oneBash YES / NO switch to enable / disable it
  added openssh-server switch in oneBash YES / NO switch to enable / disable it
  added Desktop Sharing RDP program (enable / setup with GUI on the taskbar)
  added ifconfig output to the top of mining process (easy to get rig IP)
  added EWBF v3.4
  added Claymore v9.5
  added EWBF and Claymore version selectors to oneBash
  added EXTENTION_ARGUMENTS for each Ethash COIN (to add additional Claymore parameters)
  increased Claymore stability
  reduced boot time
  will now work with slow USB keys
    VTC COIN selection with VTC or BTC payout
    ZEN COIN selection
    NICE COIN selection




keep getting low disk space
is something logging now?

Very nice updates in v0016 fullzero.  Smiley

Other than that, manual GPUFANSPEED doesn't work on my z270-a prime/evga 1080 Ti sc black.

Thanks for v0016, OP!  I'm running it on 1 of 2 rigs for now.  Definitely a big fan of the faster start time!

Hello,

I have an issue on version 0015:
I have severals rigs on Asus Z270 Prime-P but I do not manage to boot nvOC on a Asus Z270 Prime-A:
I loaded default bios, used the setting on the first page, plugged 8 cards using a m2 adaptater --> The bios POST, so everything seems to be OK. Then, I have a black screen as is should start loading the OS, the USB key seems to be accessed as it gets hot, but the black screen never ends. I waited 5 mins, nothing: only a black screen.
I tried to redo an other USB key without luck.
Do you have any idea what is blocking the boot?

Thanks

I have same issue with 0.14, 0.15 and 0.16. I am waiting 15-30 min with black sxreen, before system boot on. I have no idea what to do. I have different motherbords, usb flashes but time for boot on is so long
With V0016 boot time should be (very) much shorter. Please do a BIOS reset (jumper on MB). After that set the recommended BIOS settings, and boot with more than one card (on risers), monitor on the first GPU. Hope it helps! It's one of the motherboards I have on my shortlist for my next rigs.

I did BIOS reset with my ASUS H270, set up just 4G enable, but nothing changed, i can;t load mvOS. but with old MB i have this USB works very fast. I have no idea why its slow with new ASUS H270 and MSI Z270 MB

Fantastic work, fullzero. Tons of new features here, but I'm personally grateful for the continued under the hood optimization. Hopefully, the improvements to deal with slow USB sticks will help a lot of posters that may not have realized their USB write speeds were hindering them.

Never used the onboard gpu, it was brand new, tried to boot with 1 gpu but with a riser (tried to change the riser)
Will try the V0016 tomorrow and report!

Not sure but it can be one of the following: Used onboard GPU once with his rig? Have you booted with 1 GPU? Have seen these issues on previous posts. But since V0016 is out, probably fixing these issues, would you mind downloading that version and try it out?

anyone have a thought on that?

cheers
Wrong ETH_ADDRESS




ah ok figured it out

ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS/$ETH_WORKER"

needed to be

ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS.$ETH_WORKER"

Anyone knows if EWBF will be updated to 0.3.4b ? Any reasons to do so ? I see 2% dev fee was added though but hashrate suppose to also increase by 2%.

Thanks
You can do it yourself if you want, see some pages back. It's about 1-2% faster but dev fee is a fixed 2%. Currently the only reason I see is that you'd want the new monitoring page. Personally I keep 3.3b running.

Fantastic work. Really liking the build.

I ran into the problem where my over clocks were not getting set, but your fix seemed to correct that (started with one gpu before putting more in). After the fix, the gpufan error messages (I saw others were having that) are still showing up. Not a big issue since it looks like the fans are dynamic and should adjust up.

One suggestion for the next build, can you add ZEN cash to the list of available coins?
You can add it to oneBash yourself if you want to mine ZEN now:
Add your ZEN pool and address around line 86 the following:
Code:
ZEN_WORKER="nvOC"
ZEN_ADDRESS="your_address"
ZEN_POOL="mining.miningspeed.com"
ZEN_PORT="3063"

Add around line 815 the following block:
Code:
if [ $COIN == "ZEN" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/zec/miner'
ZENADDR="$ZEN_ADDRESS.$ZEN_WORKER"
until $HCD --eexit 3 --fee $EWBF_PERCENT --pec --server $ZEN_POOL --user $ZENADDR --pass z --port $ZEN_PORT;
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

Set COIN="ZEN" on line 22 and there you go.
Good tuning : thank you.

I have old Mobo GA-770T-D3L with AM770 chipset and amd processor, is it supported by nvOC to do multi-gpu? currently i'm using windows 10, and it cannot detect my other NV1060 vga card.

thanks
ATM the nvOC is for Intel chipsets and processors. I think your chance of success is quite low.
