if you support NVIDIA Cards, if it is possible to change the Bios on these cards or change the settings to get mor hashpower and lower the power like AMD cards?

Good morning everyone,
I am looking for ideas and help. I was debugging one of my unstable rigs running 7 RX580s.
Suddenly, I've seen one of the fans set to 0%. Whatever I have tried I was unable to start it again. To me, it looked like the driver has decided to refuse fan speed modification.
Here is what fanspeed.sh reports when trying to adjust the speed:
cat: /sys/class/drm/card3/device/hwmon/hwmon3/pwm1: Invalid argument
/root/utils/fanspeed_RX.sh: line 84: echo: write error: Invalid argument
The wolframd reports the following (--set-fanspeed):
Failed to read a fan sysfs entry for GPU 3.
The card is completely operational, and it responds to every other command. Of course, it will overheat in a matter of seconds.
Can someone offer an advice?
And at the end a note to tytanick: I hope you are aware of the fact that the GPU orders are not always sequential! On this particular system I have two different batches of RX580 and there is *a gap* in card numbering - there is no card with index 1 on this system. Cards start to enumerate with index 0, index 1 is not existent and then cards are indexed from 2 to 7. I am speaking, of course, about the system card index and not the GPU numbers given by the claymore driver which are sequential 0-6.
I wish everyone a nice day

Problem happen when i plug in the 5th card - Rx560 4G
The miner wont start. (suspect issue with fifth card so disconnect one of the 470 and run with 4 card including the 560, still wont start)

RX and R9 don't run well on the same board. Different drivers. You're gonna have to start a new rig for your RX cards.
i didnt run any r9 card.

FLASHING TUTORIAL 
To flash its important to do following:
- ssh as user "miner" and execute: screen -x miner .... and then press ctrl+c few times until whole screen exits.
- go to root writing sudo su
- execute command: dmesg -c - this will clear system log - this is where my syftoware watchdog is looking for some critical erros, if it finds them it execute reboot command.
- go to atiflash directory and
atiflash -p 0 custom_bios.rom
atiflash -p 1 custom_bios.rom
etc
By "atiflash directory" you mean "utils" directory? To flash its important to do following:- ssh as user "miner" and execute: screen -x miner .... and then press ctrl+c few times until whole screen exits.
- go to root writing sudo su
- execute command: dmesg -c - this will clear system log - this is where my syftoware watchdog is looking for some critical erros, if it finds them it execute reboot command.
- go to atiflash directory and
atiflash -p 0 custom_bios.rom
atiflash -p 1 custom_bios.rom
etc
How do i transfer my custom_bios.rom to utils folder?
yes the atiflash dir is the utils dir
I transferred the custom roms by hosting the file somewhere, then navigating to your home dir and typing
> wget http://mysite.com/custom_bios.rom
then type in the miner home dir:
> ~/utils/atiflash -p 0 custom_bios.rom

Cant wait for Nvidia OC support! bring it on!!!
June 19, 2017, 04:41:20 PM
Hopefully someone can help me.... My risers are working in windows both the ones connected to x16 and x1. However if i try to load into simple mining i get stuck in an amd loop timeout. I disconnected the risers going into the x1 and and can boot into simplemining with any gpus with risers plugged into x16. I am thinking this is a compatibility issue with simple mining and my motherboard msi 970a-g43 ( Latest bios ) 
? Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem? I'd hate to give simple mining the boot, its been good to me!
? Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem? I'd hate to give simple mining the boot, its been good to me!I had to load one gpu at a time to get the loop to
Not happen
How do i load one gpu at a time?
I did try a single gpu plugged into the x1 and it did not work.
Check the -di parameter (for Eth mining at least)
-di 0 will mine on the first GPU only. -di 02 will only mine on the first and third GPU.

Hey Tytanick im a newbie miner and i really enjoy your work! I don't think it gets any easier 
When do you think full nvidia support will happen?
Thanks

Hi to all! I'm not able to start my miner with simpleminingOS.. I've flashed my USB drive, edited the config file and try to boot it several times.. It boot without any problem but at a certain point it appears on the screen:
simplemining Ubuntu...
simplemining login:
password:
And it stops (i don't know which login info I should use..), I can't see my rig in the dasboard..
I searchd among different forums, no one never had this issue before...
I don't know what to do.
I really hope someone here will give me an explanation.
Thanks in advance!!

BTW, 2$/Month per Rig is a gift. Tytanick, you are the MAAAAN 
absolutely !!! June 19, 2017, 09:17:07 AM
Dear Tytanick,
i just wanna shout out a f***in big THANK YOU.
I started with Mining a month ago, started with mining FTC. But then, i decided to try to jump on the ETH-train with a 6 GPU-Rig.
I have learned a lot about Mining with Windows, Mining with different Miners setup by myself on Linux.
Then i tried SMOS. And i LOVE it.
No Downtimes, Crashes etc. for nearly a month. I fired up a second 6 GPU-Rig six days ago, and it's running. And running. And running, like a Duracell-Bunny.
Tomorrow i'm gonna build a third Rig with 7 GPU's, based on a MSI Z97 Gaming 7. I will report how it works.

Hello, i wanted to say thank your for your work, everything working good and stable.....and i have a question about overlocking, try to change settings and nothing happend....am i understand rightly that this funktions not working with NVidia yet?
June 19, 2017, 06:19:08 AM
Also while first booting up, it retries five time to connect to server, will that be a issue?
Read one post up Yep got it.
I realize I might have put in incorrect parameters for the Claymore miner to overclock/control those cards, I'll remove all those parameters and reboot later to see how it goes.

Hi Admin,
Thanks for the great work!
Just tried it on my new rig building, it's
Asrock X58 Extreme, with three RX 480 8GB, BIOS Strip mode 1725 timing copied to 2000
However it seems with simlemining os, one of the card is showing as faulty and constantly crashing restarting the miner.
Here's photo showing the fault problem:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5sokgo0759uboxo/1.jpg?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2ztre8e6oqowol/2.jpg?dl=0
however they do work fine under Windows.
Also while first booting up, it retries five time to connect to server, will that be a issue?
Back to windows for now.
Thanks for the great work!
