I just updated to latest bios on TB-250 and also to the latest nvOC , now my rig won't boot.

Anyone know what causes this error?

I have the mobo in miner mode and set to 3.5gb.

Should have done one thing at a time so I know what caused it.


Edit: I got it to boot by typing :
help
fsck /dev/sda2
 
Then pressing Y for every question.

I got more errors in the miner window once it booted up though so I am now doing a fresh image.

Edit 2 : Re-imaged USB and all good Smiley

Sorry, typo, GTX 1070
Code:
m1@m1-desktop:/$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1b81 (rev a1)

I'm in the process of re-imaging my flash drive to eliminate any possibility of that being an issue and will update accordingly.


Hello I have same problem like UberDaemon with Asus Z270-P a few empty rows and no overclocking active for my cards (1060s) i have tested v0015 the result is the same.
I even built my own ubuntu and installed CUDA+driver the result is the same.
nvidia-smi is returning information that for that GPU there is no other supported clocks than base ones. Which is not true because on windows i had overclock them a lot.

P.S when i edit the xorg.conf with coolbits option i don't see "Edittable Performance" section on Powermizer on nvidia-settings.

Please if anyone knows something about that issue respond Smiley I doubt that this is an image issue because it's happening on another linux installation as well.
More like drivers/settings in my opinion.

I have one of these motherboards, but it is boxed.  I will get it out tonight and try to replicate what is happening myself.  In order to replicate the situation as closely as possible: what CPU are each of you using?


Reimage didn't have any effect on resolving the problem.  My CPU is a G3930 celeron.

Hi,

Firstly I'd just like to say, great job I really appreciate the time you put into this and thanks for sharing.

I'm having an issue where I can't get the cards to overclock, smi reports that the powerlimit is set as wanted at 165 through OneBash but the draw wattage just doesn't move just stays stuck around 150w. Clock and memory is set as per your guidance +100 core, +600 mem.

Board is ASUS H270 Prime Plus with 6 x EVGA GTX1070 SC, dual mining ETH+SC

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated, loving the plug and play aspect of it, will really help with getting some friends going.

Thanks!

If I had the power space to build another rig right now; this is what I would buy:

$152 ASUS PRIME Z270-A https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132936

Fullzero,

Just curious if you would recommend the Z270-A over the ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS now?  Any advantages to the extra dollars when going for a 6x or 7x rig (1070s of course in my case)?  Thanks for the help as usual.  Not much to do other than sift through details while waiting on risers.

Also, is anyone running CPU coolers (Arctic Freezer i32 or similar) on their rig or are stock heatsinks the norm even with CPU mining?  I never see them mentioned.

OP, first off thanks for your hard work.  I was very happy to stumble across your project.  

I am not able to OC or manually set fan speed for some reason.  I am running v0015 on an Asus Prime Z270-A with Gigabyte GTX 1720 (edit: 1070) Founder's Edition GPUs - currently only one GPU while I wait on risers and a new PSU.

This was the output I was getting prior to updating BIOS from 0222 0906:

Hey guys

would "MSI z170a gaming pro carbon" + "Intel Celeron G3900" work with 6 x GTX 1080Ti ?

I noticed some people are putting quiet "beefy" CPUs into their rigs, can someone explain why? Does it have something to do with PCIE support?

Also @fullzero, thanks for all the work you put into this!


I haven't tested that mobo; I would expect a bios flash and a few bios setting changes would be needed.  I recommend getting one of the z270 chipset mobo's I have tested: see the OP.

IMO spending ~$20 more on a G4560 to "know" I will not have any CPU related problems is worth it.  Also if you plan on mining longterm, slightly better XMR hashrates with around the same power draw will pay for the difference, and then the entire CPU cost eventually.



Fullzero, based around your software

What is the best bang for buck rig setup you'd recommend?
Cards? Board? CPU? Psu? Etc

Hey thanks for all the help. Just a quick question, I am trying to mine ETH however regardless of what pool I try I keep getting ETH: No pools specified: Specify at least one valid pool in "-epool" parameter. Any suggestions on what I can do? Also the main pool I was trying was ethermine and I was using the updated oneBash.

I don't do the best job of tracking every coin, and I haven't mined Skein myself. 

If it uses an algorithm supported by ccminer then you should be able to mine it with nvOC.  It most likely has a specific fork which performs better.  If you find me the link to the clients repo and tell me what pool you want to / do use to mine skein, then I can add the client and modify oneBash for the next version.

In windows I use the alexis78 version from nemo's miner and I mine at Z-pool : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nemosminer-multi-algo-profit-switching-nvidiacpu-miner-1777336

My batfile looks like this :
Code:
 ccminerAlexis78.exe -r 0 -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u BTC ADDDRESS -p c=BTC 


https://github.com/alexis78/ccminer

Skein is paying really well atm...$23/1080ti/day


So I added this client and then tried to mine DGB with it; there is a problem: the linux version of this fork doesn't support skein.   Sad








wow that sucks, I'm doing about 2GH to 2.1GH on my 3x1080 TI rig on nvOC with intensity set to 26

Fullzero,

First I wanted to say this is an excellent edition to anyone doing nvidia mining on linux. Just hands down and the fact that you made it free is even crazier!

Thank you so much.

Secondly, a question is is their a way to put failover addresses?

Glad you like nvOC.  Smiley

this depends on the client, EWBF has no failover, Claymore does.  not sure about ccminer or sgminer (I will check later) 

I can implement this in a later oneBash for you; going to work on other things for new version today however.

sgminer failover is available.

best thing about it is that you put the failover pool all in the same command line, without external config file like Claymore

I will most likely release v0015 tomorrow with it; and not all requested changes, but a lot of them.  Biggest change will be portability.  One image for all the supported motherboards + almost all Intel mobos (note bios changes are still needed).

Wow fullzero that sounds great! Your ongoing efforts are highly appreciated!

yeah I'm also looking to turn one of my 2 nvOC rigs to skein.. any future plans for this?
or is there a manual way to install it?

Download the newest oneBash from the OP.  Until next version, it will only use the tp fork of ccminer; but you can mine dgb.

see:

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

Edit:  as bentcrypto requested it; I setup the DGB selection to use zpool auto conversion to BTC; so you actually enter a BTC address for DGB.

I can add a direct DGB payout selection (payout in DGB) if anyone wants that instead.


I want to payout in DGB, please add this option also

Try it this morning but it's often hang, need to hard reset the whole system with +150cc and +500mc for 6x 1080ti
How to auto type the miner1 password, I need to type it 3 times before the miner running?

No you don't, the script will do this for you. Just wait a bit and see..

Maxximus007 is correct.  I would recommend trying a lower cc if your system is hanging.  mc can be higher:

try +100cc and +900mc
That's great, I will try it later, 6x 1080ti can run normally nvOS with Asrock H81 pro. I would like to try mining Skein also, hope you will release the new version soon and instruction how to mine it.
