Thanks for the reply. Is the SOL/s rate the same on both pools or does this fluctuate? I guess I'm asking if there is an advantage besides stats for one pool over the other.
Also, I had a question about using Nvidia X Server settings window to change GPU core and mem. It seems to work for everything but the fan. Not sure this is the way to adjust settings on the fly. Maybe SSH is a better solution?

I like nanopool and slushpool.

https://slushpool.com/help/get-started/getting_started_zcash
Nanopool you don't need an account for and their stats page is useful.
Slush Pool you need an account; but you get a lot of advanced features without any special effort on your part.

I noticed Nanopool charges 1% and Slush Pool 2%. Does using EWBF's CUDA through nvOC add an additional 2% to these pools?
Added on to the rig a bit today. Went from 5 GPUs to 7. All Gigabyte Founders Ed. cards, on an Asus Prime Z270-A, a Celeron 3930, and a Corsair HX1200i.
220 MH/sec ETH (31.42 MH/sec avg per GPU)
Core OC: 200
Mem OC: 1600
power: 120W cap per GPU, pulling 945W at the wall.

I'll begin building a 2nd rig in a couple of days. First parts rolled in today (4 EVGA 1070s). Mobo will be another Z270-A, and I have another HX1200i. The idea will be to have another 7-GPU rig that pulls 950W.

Would anyone have a ZEC pool and port combo they recommend? Almost through this build just need to figure out this part
I have few questions - is your nvOC also using cuda8 drivers? I heard/read that using them can make mining more effective, combined with genoil Cuda miner, what you think about that?
Second - i have this motherboard - https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-P/ will that one work?
Third - i use this GPU-s: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-GTX1070-O8G/
If you could give some insights/feedback/opinion on what i asked would be greatly apreciated! Cheers!

This OS is definitely easier than that guide. I spent >4 hours playing with Windows before I found a 16GB flash drive to try this out. It booted up and started mining in minutes.
I can give you some insight on the hardware.
Second - I suspect that motherboard will work. This OS works with the PRIME-Z270-A. The Z270-P should work in my mind.
Third - That GPU will work. Currently I have 4x EVGA 1070 on a GIGABYTE GA-B250M-Gaming 5.
Thanks man. I'll try get this working then i'll post if i run into some problems.
But i am curious what OP has to say about using Cuda8 from Nvidia for mining, maybe if he can implement it somehow it could boost the hashrate.
Would it help to use a ssd instead of usb ? For me it lags each time i open something..click something ..
Even if the miner is closed. I see there are links for ssd connection

Yes, if your usb flash drive is slow you'll see lag. I've noticed this not only with nvOC, but with all live OSes that run off flash memory. Someone asked about using storage other than usb flash and OP linked a couple posts that I assume explain what you need to do to get that working. I think it was on this page or the prior one.
or.... order/buy a faster thumb drive. I ordered a few of the Lexars OP recommended, ETD tomorrow.
Have 2 miners on this and they seem to work fine for a few hours and then crash :

What GPUs and OC settings are you using; also what is the ambient tempature near the rig?
Also what kind of USB key are you using?

In my experience a fast USB is reasonably responsive. The lexar ones I recommend are fast and cheap.
If they aren't fast enough for you: these are faster HQ very high speed USB keys are around $22:

Great thread!
I seen some thread about runing Ubuntu 14.04 server, instaling nvidia CUDA8 drivers etc but thread is old, and not rly well explained. I was struggling to install stuff etc.
Here is the link https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/7780/gtx1070-linux-installation-and-mining-clue-goodbye-amd-welcome-nvidia-for-miners/p1
But anyway ! I droped guide from this link and i'll try to set up my mining rig based on ur thread.

Maybe a stupid question: how do you determine what card is what number? Are the PCI slot order from top to bottom GPU1/GPU2/GPU3 etc?
That can be quite difficult at times. Generally the 16x PCI-E slot on the motherboard is GPU0. After that one the one closest to the CPU will be GPU1, and then further down.But the method of disabling a GPU in the miner and touch the GPU's after 10 minutes will make sure you have the numbering okay..
I personally switch the riser cable after that so it's in the right order in the rig in case of future issues.

So I was trying to run 7 Zotac 1070 Minis with Asus Z270F using Z270A image, the most it could detect is 6 Zotacs. Someone here said that Z270F runs 7 GPUs out of the box, but not in my case. I need to try windows to verify that. Do you have Z270F and planning to post an image? Running 6 Zotacs with TB85 for now, but Minis are so tiny that 8 could fit in Rosewill easily.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I just got one of these mobos in yesterday. I can get 7x cards to be detected by the system, but there is a conflict with x and the driver. I can manually OC the first 6 cards, but the 7th has no response to OC commands.
There is also what appears to be a TPM / Secureboot problem preventing subsequent boots into the same install. Initially changing the bios setting for enabling above 4gb encoding is required to get 7 cards to work. There are also some TPM / Secureboot bios changes that are needed, but I still need to isolate which. I started with the MSI z270-A PRO image.
I will work on this more tonight.
First of all this is an awesome project. Thanks for doing this. I will mine to your wallets or something to give monetary thanks.
Did you ever get any further on this Z270F mobo. I can only see 6 cards. I would love to get 9 going.
cheers ever so much.
With v0015 you can use 7x GPUs with that mobo; 9x if you have 2x m2 adapters.
Edit: ensure that you make the bios changes listed for that mobo on the OP.
I followed those instructions and I am using v0015.
Obviously it works then but I must be missing something.
It might be a hardware problem: what kind of risers are you using, and how are they powered?
What GPUs, and PSU?
7 x https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3UVJHM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
7 x https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-14-487-261
2 x https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-17-438-092
1 x https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-19-117-745
1 x https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-20-156-103
I dont have the m2 adapters yet.
only 6 cards show up in the bios which supports a hardware issue. I have another mobo which i can test. I tried a different riser
I have 4GPUs on one PSU and 7 on the other plus Mobo

Hi fullzero
After last night's BTC bloodbath... I want to adjust my mining strategy
I am positioning my Zotac 1070 minis and some of my entry level 1080ti reference/blower types for ETH mining.... and keep the big guns GA-Aorus and Zotac AMP Extremes for ZEC mining..... how do I modify the onebash for the following?
I copied this cmd string right out off smOS

btw, v9.5 seems funky on Dwarfpool so I prefer the tried and tested v9.4
is the Claymore ETH build v9.5 -- in nvOC v15 ?
It is not 9.5; I will add that version with a version selector in the next version.
I am not sure if it is 9.4 or an earlier version; I believe it is 9.4.
Any plans for getting an epool.txt to ensure failover action?
I was thinking of just uploading my current failover pool list to miner app directory

Hello,
just wanted to ask, is there a way to change voltage like you can in Msi afterburner by pressing CTRL+F to get to "Voltage/Frequency curve editor", and if not is there an alternate solution or could it be implemented in the future?

I am not sure about this; I will have to look into it. My guess is that voltage editing will only be supported by specific drivers, and only be implementable on some GPU models.
in the AMD side of the planet.... custom BIOS mods are common to undervolt and get that perfect core and mem sweet spot...
is there such thing as customs roms for NVIDIA cards?
I wonder how it feels bricking a 700 bucks card
