I've used it for ZEN, it works like you said. The generated address is yours, but will only be shown in transactions after the first.. transaction. It seems flaky but it works. If you use zenmine.pro, it will send your first payout after 0.1 ZEN, so that can be quite fast. You can also decide to open a deposit address at Bittrex if you don't trust the wallet.

I have a biostar z170 motherboard and had to do a bios update to get it to fully work right

Which PCI-E slots are you using?  On that board you should use the 3 x16 slots, then use your other slots in order from the one closest to the CPU and moving to the right (if looking at the mobo with the backplate facing you).

So my 2nd rig is now running with 6 GPUs. 

Rig 1 https://i.imgur.com/Q6kLeV3.jpg
 • Asus Prime Z270-A Motherboard
 • Corsair HX1200i PSU
 • Celeron G3930 CPU, 4GB RAM
 • (7) Gigabyte GTX 1070 Founders Edition

   CC: 200
   MC: 1600 (4608 MHz mclk in nvidia-smi dmon)
   pl: 120W

   945W at the wall

   ~220 MH/sec ETH (31.4 mhs per GPU, 26% over stock)


Rig 2 https://i.imgur.com/SUp7cj4.jpg
 • Asus Prime Z270-AR Motherboard
 • Corsair HX1200i + HX1000i (using Add2PSU)
 • Celeron G3930
 • (4) EVGA GTX 1070 FTW, (2) EVGA GTX 1070 SC

   CC: 1
   MC: 1100 (4353 MHz mclk in nvidia-smi dmon)
   pl: 125W

   885W at the wall

   ~180 MH/sec ETH (30 mhs per GPU, 20% over stock)
   

Rig 1 is nice and stable.  It's been mining consistently for over 62 hours.  Rig 2 is semi-stable: It's been running for just under 24 hours.  It doesn't lock up, but I do get error messages from Claymore randomly that cause Claymore to restart on average of once an hour.  I will try lowering MC to eliminate those.

I need to get a case built to improve cooling and to ensure these GPUs aren't at risk of falling over like dominoes.  I had planned on working on that last weekend, but then I made the decision to build a 2nd rig so I held off.  What I am thinking of doing is repurposing a 4' wide x 4' deep x 6.5' tall indoor gardening tent (similar to this: https://i.imgur.com/whULDww.jpg)and placing the rigs inside so I can keep the heat output under control and hopefully increase cooling.  I'll have an exhaust fan sucking out air from the top of the tent, and passive intakes at the bottom pulling in cool air.  I'll route a 6" duct from the exhaust fan to a window to blow the heated air outside (until winter time!) so that my central air doesn't have to deal with the extra heat I'm currently introducing.  Rather than build a case/frame out of wood or aluminum I am thinking of using a wire shelving unit.  I like the idea of building a nice aluminum frame, but I'm not 100% sure if I am going to stop at 2 rigs or keep going, so until that clears up I am not going to construct a custom frame.

As I was typing this rig 2 experienced one of the Claymore errors:

WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart miner

Is anyone here running 1070s with an MSI Z170A SLI motherboard?
I can not seem to get it stable even with only 4 GPUs.

It seems people agree on setting PCIe to Gen1.
What is the consensus on the PCI Latency timer?  I read somewhere to set it to 96, but wanted to get confirmation about this particular setup.

Thanks! That was it guess it must have reset the changes in the bios when I did the fresh install or something.

1. Will the new cards work if you run 2 old ones with the 2 new ones?
2. Did you follow what is in the OP?


Also, I've read that PCIe setting needs to be set to Gen1. It sounds like it could be a simple BIOS issue.

I am currently using the Asus Prime Z270-A

What motherboard are you using?

I am upgrading to a 6x PCIe mobo next week so I hope to not run into this issue?

First off thanks for all the help thus far. But I am running in to a problem and would really appreciate it if someone could give me a helping hand.

So initial I had 5x 1070 2 connected via risers and 3 connect directly via the motherboard. I then bought some more risers so I could connect all of them via risers and someone suggested to do a fresh install whenever doing any hardware changes so I did that. However, now regardless of what configuration and the way I setup the gpus either the original with some via the motherboard and some via risers or all of them on risers it is only picking up 4 out of the 5 gpus. Any troubleshooting suggestions I tried look through to see if anyone else had this issue, but couldn't find anything that worked. Also I have tried multiple fresh installs on a few USB drives. Once again thanks in advance!

Thank you for the great OS! I will send BTC to the address in oneBash on my first payout to thank you. Assuming that is yours.

I asked about the mobo yesterday. I went ahead and ordered it and will post back next week if it works. Currently I'm running the GIGABYTE GA-B250M-Gaming 5 and it works perfectly. I did not find this thread until I ordered the parts, or I would have ordered the Gaming 3 you have in your OP.

I had a heck of a time getting a NiceHash.com DaggerHashimoto (ETH) pool working. All it took was me reading the README.txt on ethdcrminer64 and it worked for me . The following should work with all pools from NiceHash.com (link of pools).

Note: set COIN="NICE" to use this. If it didn't work it's a typo .

Can you help me out? I want to mine ZEC but am worried I will not get the profits. I have the Windows Eleos v0.0.7 wallet installed. ZEC and ZEN both have a sync status of 100%. When I go to receive tab and click new transparent address, an address is shown but it is not listed in my addresses tab. This happens on both ZEN & ZEC. Will this address not be shown until I receive ZEC/ZEN?

v0015 has come along way and all my current ZEC NVIDIA builds are on nvOC Linux.

Press on to improve nvOC.... with AMD cards out of reach and NVIDIA breaking into the crypto world with GTX-1060 mining edition, great upside for nvOC especially ZEC, ETH and ccminer forks.

1 - I can definitely modify the oneBash from nvOC. When opening a new terminal the changes are reflected and mining starts automatically.
3 - You can open up your browser to port 3333 of the nvOC to see what you see in the terminal. I did see many pages back where OP said he was going to work on adding a good remote management solution.

dual psu or server psu with pico and breakout board, can solve your problems

Have 4 rigs running 7gpu - GTX 1070 Msi...stable for a few days . Tested the SSD also and it works very well.  (core C 100 , mem 1050 , pl -100) 30mh
Today my m.2 adapters should arrive and I'll make the rigs 8gpu

My MB supports 2 of these M.2 adapters...so in theory I could make 9 gpu rigs . Problem is that my PSU have only 3 cables each (bought some extra cables ) and only 5 outputs - 1 for mb cable and 4 for gpu power .  ( Corsair H850 ) can't find any parts these days ... everything is out of stock .
How can I power up the 9th GPU without a new psu ?
Somebody suggested to try SATA - > 8pin adapters . . . . Haven't tested...doesn't look safe .
Any ideas ?

i did...i just moved the riser chip of the adjacent slot, one that has been running fine.

Will be so in V016, but you can do it yourself:
oneBash can be reached on the rig itself, with ssh, or you can copy it to the home directory, change it 2unix to the new location.

You probably did, but did you change riser and USB cable? I had the same (on another MB), in the end it was the cable..

Suggestions:

Be able to edit oneBash from the Linux partition
Stop using expect and modify the sudoers to give m1 passwordless sudo permission
Ability to monitor progress (or use screen by default)

Are there any quick fixes for what I wrote above?
