I am having some issues messing with the OC settings on my smOS 8x1060 rig.  It seems when I try to change the clock or memory settings either with a single setting for all cards or individually, that it doesn't update as its not reflected in the Core/Mem column after I do it.  The only way I can modify the output of the cards is to increase the power to the cards.  Currently I'm running at 100W to each card just to get up to 2300sol/s for Equihash.  I'd like to be able to OC each card's settings accordingly on a lower power setting if possible, or leave the power setting as is and increase the output with the OC.

For example, here is the Core/Mem Column before adjustment:
1860 1860 1860 1847 1860 1860 1885 1936 (100)
3802 3802 3802 3802 3802 3802 3802 3802

Then in the OC tab I added 1100 (I've tried lower numbers as well) to the Mem settings and it didn't look like anything changed:
1847 1873 1860 1860 1873 1898 1898 1936 (100)
3802 3802 3802 3802 3802 3802 3802 3802

Also, that's 7 ASUS 1060 cards and 1 Gigabyte 1060 (all 3GB), but looks like the Gigabyte has much higher clock speed (and it's temp is always ~10C less than the others).  I'm sure I could bump up the output on that card with some OC.

I saw someone say if the OC tab isn't working that you might need to delete then re-install rig.  This makes me a little nervous, do I just delete it from the dashboard and it will automatically pop back up in the dashboard again when I restart it?

Yes, that is exactly what will happen! If you have no other option, then go ahead and do it. I assure you, the rig will appear again on your dashboard, like it did first time, with noname attached to it.

I also assure you I had the OC thing happen to me too, like 1.5 months ago, and I fixed it like this, after I tried many other stuff, troubleshooting for like 4 hours.

Is possible mining GAMECREDITS with any miner included in Simplemining OS?

How are people monitoring rigs on smOS? Today I had a situation where the rig went down for 5 hrs (overnight) . My pool has email notifications when worker offline but that's not guaranteed to work and its just an email that is buried with all the other emails received - not a good way to catch and resolve issues.

Also would enabling /var/log/messages help to determine why smOS is crashing? I dont have aggressive OC settings. 0,1100,70 mostly 1060's with temps around 71C (which is kind of high i think).


Thanks in advance

You always look for list of GPU's in Core/Mem column. You can also check there when a GPU is not working, cause it's memory and core drops to three figure numbers(most of the time), when it's faulty.

In the miner program(console) you can check the speed and adjust, if not happy with it.

Always combine core/mem column with miner program, to see what numbers you get.

Thanks Radu!

I've made the following adjustments in the OC settings:

Core MHz: 150,150,150,150,-50,-50

Memory MHz:600,600,600,600,1150,1150

Power Limit (watt):70,70,70,70,98,98

Target Temperature ℃:65
Minimum Fan speed %:50

The Core/Mem column in the RigList says this, which is why I have assumed the two last cards are the 1070's (even though I'm a bit pussled by the lower numbers for those cards here, but as they stand out as a pair I'm assuming that's them there):

1961 1974 1949 1961 1797 1771 (70,70,70,70,98,98)
4100 4100 4100 4100 4100 4100

I'm still getting pretty much the same results in the console as previously:

Hmm, from what i'm seeing, maybe OC tab isn't working...There is no way you can OC 1070's to +1050 memory...I have EVGA's and they go max +650. Also, the Temp is still high, even though you set it not more than 70℃.

My suggestion is: Try to delete rig and re-add it to simplemining.net...

Hello,
Is it here that we can ask for new mining software ? Smiley

I would like to mine Lux coin ! Is it possible to add this version of sgminer which is compatible with the lux algorithm ?

https://github.com/216k155/sgminer-phi1612-Implemented/releases

Thank you !

How do you turn off the rig safely?
Just kill the power?



If you are running on a USB stick i would not just kill power - you will eventually have corrupted file system requiring fsck to fix. I usually ssh into the rig and run     sudo shutdown -h now



That should unmount file system clean and turn off the system including the hardware (GPU fans, cpu fans etc stop spinning).

Thanks a lot Radu!

When inserting the individual comma-separated OC settings, do the settings correspond to the GPU's listed numbers (as in GPU0, GPU1, GPU2etc.) or the listed order from top to bottom in the console (as in GPU3, GPU4, GPU2 in the example I provided earlier?) - or is there some other logic to it? :-)

Again - many thanks, much appreciated! :-)

Hi all,

I got my first rig up and running a couple of days ago, and have noticed that the different GPU's are reporting very different speeds in the console, here's a typical excerpt:

========== Sol/s: 1729.1 Sol/W: 2.57 Avg: 1754.6 I/s: 933.9 Sh: 7.26 0.99 50
GPU3 75C Sol/s: 327.6 Sol/W: 2.84 Avg: 326.5 I/s: 174.9 Sh: 1.33 0.99 55
GPU4 75C Sol/s: 295.6 Sol/W: 2.71 Avg: 296.4 I/s: 155.2 Sh: 1.17 1.00 44

GPU3 74C Sol/s: 325.5 Sol/W: 2.84 Avg: 326.5 I/s: 174.9 Sh: 1.33 0.99 55
GPU4 75C Sol/s: 292.5 Sol/W: 2.71 Avg: 296.4 I/s: 156.6 Sh: 1.17 1.00 54
GPU2 75C Sol/s: 150.4 Sol/W: 1.32 Avg: 151.4 I/s: 81.2 Sh: 0.66 0.98 60

========== Sol/s: 1739.1 Sol/W: 2.57 Avg: 1754.6 I/s: 936.9 Sh: 7.26 0.99 51

The rig is still a work in progress as I'm waiting for parts, but it is currently running four Palit 1060 6GB cards and two Palit 1070 OC cards. It seems like two of the cards, GPU2 and GPU0, are seriously underperforming at 150-200 Sol/s, so I'd really appreciate all advice and pointers in the right direction for the best way to improve this.

My OC settings in SMOS are currently set to this, based on recommendations in the SMOS guidelines:

Core MHz: 150

Memory MHz: 600

Power Limit (watt): 115

Target Temperature ℃: 70
Minimum Fan speed %: 50

I'm not sure if I understand correctly how OC'ing works yet, but I've seen mention of making individual OC'ing settings, like "140, 150, 130..." etc. - am I supposed to do this to tweak each individual card to it's max efficiency?

I did one attempt at setting up such a comma-separated string and saved the settings, and the miner restarted, but I did get pretty much the same results in the console, so that's why I feel very much in doubt about the right direction ahead.

All advice would be very much appreciated - advance thanks! :-)



 

Hello astrosmurf,

GPU's are different, you need to find the sweet spot for each one, by separating OC values.

Your temperatures are a bit too high, I suggest staying below 70℃

Also, I don't know much about 1060's, but from my knowledge, they run at max 80w, while 1070's can be operated at 110w, so make sure you separate power as well, for better efficiency.

Happy mining

i have a little problem with my asus z270-a prime with simplemining.

everything is fine but when i try to reboot my rig, simplemining doesn't reboot properly and i have to switch power off and reboot again each time... really boring

bios is setup on "gen2" on everything pcie and above4g on. i tried "Auto" but lot more problems to recognize my 8 gpus...
any idea ?

Check Your PSU, Most probably you are short of power. suffer the same before and i just add 1 more PSU and it works fine now.

=====

I forgot that my trial will end soon Sad i just send 1 ETC i hope it added very very soon..

I only have Fee service remaining days: 0.06

not possible, i have 2 x 1000w gold used at 60% each so i don't think so...
each time its a soft reboot ==> rig down and each time i make a hard reboot ==> rig on...

i will check error message at startup and tell you.

The scan for errors is fine, it pops up on my usb's with smos on too.

Yes, you should be upgrading your MB bios to latest.

About the GPU list, once it boots, you can play with it and realise fast which one's which.

Thank you buddy.

Is there a way to mod bios cards without a windows installation?

atiflash app for linux, google for it
It's built into SMOS. I've previously posted instructions in this thread, so have others. Don't even need to Google. just search this thread.

I have one rig which will not show up on my SMOS dashboard.  4 others running smooth now...thanks for the help.
When I put the SMOS flash drive into my windows based computer, the pop up to scan disk for errors pops up.  Would this prohibit
SMOS from working on my mining rig?  Any ideas what I might be doing wrong.  I did put my user email in the config file on the flash drive.  
  Thanks!


Also, should I be upgrading the bios on my MOBO's?  
I am running the Gigabyte z27op-d3 board.

Oh...one more thing...in the SMOS console, are the gpu's listed in order that they are plugged in to the MOBO?
