MAINTENECE UPDATE
Today 2017-06-19 between 10-11 GMT time - dashboard will be unavailable due to planned maintenece !!!
It should start in less than an hour.
I will write more info soon.
UPDATE 1:
10:30 GMT time - the maintenece started.
UPDATE 2:
10:34 GMT time - Service is ONLINE again, i am waiting for information from OVH Datacenter about if maintenece is completed or not becasue it was too fast

Hi,

I started my mining adventure with GA-990FXA-D3 few weeks ago from beginning I'm using SMOS (thank you tytanick!) and i tried to force it to run with 6 cards but with no success Week ago i bought another GA-990FXA-D3 but with second board i was unable to start more than 4 cards... after comparing this two setups I find out that older board has F8 BIOS and this newer is F9a so i flashed F8. After restart still only 4 cards was working but i saw lots of errors that didn't appear before after some time i figure out that key option that allow start with 5 cards is enabling "Spread Spectrum".

So with 6 cards i have exactly same issue on 2 rigs and it will be great if i will be able to run 2 cards that right now are mining only dust on the shelf. I also have PCIe SSD with windows that i used to re-flash cards and widows started up with 5 cards and SSD (all PCIe slots occupied) but when i tried boot SMOS i had same issue like with 6 cards.

PS. I`m using gigabyte rx480 :
ETH: GPU0 28.738 Mh/s, GPU1 28.728 Mh/s, GPU2 28.753 Mh/s, GPU3 28.747 Mh/s, GPU4 28.747 Mh/s
GPU0 t=73C fan=100%, GPU1 t=69C fan=100%, GPU2 t=74C fan=100%, GPU3 t=74C fan=100%, GPU4 t=74C fan=100%

ETH: GPU0 28.752 Mh/s, GPU1 28.735 Mh/s, GPU2 20.708 Mh/s, GPU3 29.121 Mh/s, GPU4 28.746 Mh/s
GPU0 t=71C fan=100%, GPU1 t=75C fan=100%, GPU2 t=67C fan=81%, GPU3 t=70C fan=81%, GPU4 t=71C fan=88%

My rig stops mining dual coin but keeps digging ETH after some random time. It is sometimes a day but sometimes an hour.

It says it can not resolve "sia.pool.that.I.am.using" and does not get new job from sia pool. So far I tried siamining and nanopool.

This happened both when rig is connected to modem with ethernet cable and/or when connected to a wireless repeater with a cable which itself is connected to modem wirelessly.

BTW, when this happens rig seems offline on the dashboard.

When I restrat then it throws some errors as it can not find required voltage in voltage table and amd gpu pro driver and powerplay errors.
It runs on the next restart wen I physically cut and restore power?

Any ideas? Is it because of bios mods on the gpus?

If this keeps happening I plan to switch Windows. It is a 5 RX 570 Rig. I read 6 gpu is kinda problematic in Windows but 5 GPU can run.

But I appreciate SMOS and already deposited som ecredit to my account.

Hi
I have a rig that has been working find for 48 hours, then it restarted a few times. Now it it gets to claymore it keeps on sayin no openCL, no AMD cards found. Anyone else have this issue?

Good idea.  I may have to pick up a cheap IR temp gun.  That would also come in handy if one of the GPUs isn't showing up on the rig.  That would make it much easier to figure out which one isn't showing up/mining.

I have a small hand held Infrared temp gun, if you can disable one card at a time you can easily see which one is cold with the IR Temp gun. The Pic that Tytanick posted is just not the case, I don't know why but Win10/Linux just randomly seems to assign the GPU #s to random cards. Almost all my rigs have two cards that are side by side on the PCIE port but they will be #2 and #6 or #1 and #5. Not sure why but disable one at time and check the temp, I've had a few cards not take the BIOS mod and used this method to determine which one is which.

My 6 cards(AMD) are doing 800-900w range at the wall under 1000w on my 7 card AMD rigs. Have you tried 1050/2000 @ setting #2? That seems to be the lowest voltage for me, for some reason setting 1 pulls a very small amount more power 10-15w for the whole rig. 1050-->1100 is like 50-75w whole rig. Also I'm running 7th gen pentiums or 7th gen celerons, I think this saves a few watts, still 7 risers and cards under 1000w should be possible.

I was trying to start mining with SM, but I see only cursor blinking just after bios starting...
MOBO is 990FXA GD65, 6 x rx 570.
Trying also Ethos and everything working fine...
Any ideas?

Are there logs for each mining session?

For example, if the rig turns off or restarts, are there logs for us to review and see why it restarted?

My rigs restart often and I'm wondering if it's because I am over heating or not.

Thanks!

In nvidia alpha, only thing that works is power limit (value 70-150 written into core field )
Nothing else
So fan speed isnt working and isnt managed by my scripts. Its is managed by nvidia gpu itself.
Wait for stable release.

Does the min fan speed OR temperature settings work for anybody in the Alpha Nvidia image? 

My nvidia rig runs at like 84C and the fans are just chilling at a comfy 30%. The fans just won't crank up no matter what settings I put in smOS.

Just want to know if it's just me or something inherent with this alpha version?

Btw, great job Tytanick. People love your software. Some kids just learned that kicking and screaming is how you get what they want. You're right though, 99% of us agree that $2 a month is reasonable. 
It would be even MORE reasonable if we didn't have to pay 1% to Claymore and then another 1% to a pool. But I realize implementing another miner would probably be a huge undertaking for you right now.
Keep up the good work.

About GPU slot corelation in motherboard and numbers in claymore.
In my most of cases (accually all of them) i have this corelation:
But still i cant tell if this will apply to all motherboards or is it just a "luck"

If you want debug bad gpu, best it would be to:
- set minimum fan speed to something like 70%
- insert option in claymore -wd 0 -r 0 (unfortunatley right now it will apply to all rigs and cause to reload all of them) (in future there will be grouping managment so it wont be an issue), also i think i will make something like "make GPU3 spin at 100% for 1 minute" - then it would be much easier to debug it
So the options wd and r set to 0 will cause that the claymore miner wont reboot GPU if it will hang.
Next you could wait until gpu will coll down and then just touch backpate of each gpu and see which one is coolest





Well, there are people who says that 2$ per rig per month is total rip off for "free ubuntu"...
But ok everyone has a choice and own opinion. Anyway this is like 1% of whole users so i guess it is accepted level of not happy people.
There always be some angry and agresive people who mostly thing that this should be opensource and free and yet still they would say bad things about it
When it was free, there also were some single bad optionions
But as i said, i am not greedy and i know that many features are missing right now and i am accually out of deadline for the "rig grouping feature".
Still i decided to take 2$ per rig per month becasue i was only way to speed this OS developemnt.
Just for you guys to know - i feel bad about this missing "rig grouping feature" becasue i said many times that it will be "soon" and it isnt.
I know about this and i feel bad about it just for you to know.
Anyway lets wait about 15 working days more and then the new dashboard should be ready and then we will skyrocket in out new features
Lets wait until rewriting of website will be completed, then new features will be implemented very fast
I will make some list of features and propably there will be some voting which is most important for you guys.
My list is long but i want to implement all of them including statistics, notifications, and then some more help and tips which will appear here and there.
Also i am holding off with official chat becasue it will be propably implemented directly in dashboard so i dont want to mess and give other chat now and then in 20-30 days change it to something else

I got the same problem. I use explorer

Well I initially followed another user's settings (the same one Tytanick keeps posting) for 6 gpus which was basically just update bios, enable 4g, and use integrated graphics.   That works... in general.   My problem doesn't seem to be an issue with booting 6 cards, but one specific card.   I really think that the problem was that I have a bad card.  Whenever that card is plugged in is when I get the errors, and not just when I plug it in as the 6th card.   If I use this card with 2 others, I get those ring errors.   If I don't use it, I can use 5 cards with no errors.    I mean, I can play with some other settings, just saying what I have tested.  

Thnk u for the answer. I know how to get percentage of gpu fans. The question was - what could be wrong with exactly hwmon3. It shows pwm1 of 73 with is about 28% of max fan value, while at the same time fan1_input have crazy value of 3306 rpm. I dont want to regulate. My goal is to get current fan values in rpm, not percentage.

Thanks SealTx.  That'll help me track down GPUs.  Unfortunately I noticed the fan still runs after mining is disabled, but it does slow down so hopefully I can pick out the GPU when needed.



Thanks tytanick.  I assumed that would be the case/numbering scheme, but you know what they say when you assume.

That is great power usage.

I am wondering why we cannot change the power limit in a similar way we do on the nvidia rigs as on the amd rigs? I also am drawing 950-1000 watts for  6 x 570 4gb rigs and would love to bring that power consumption down so I can add more rigs in my basement XD

Just wanted to offer a counter point to all the whining. I'm running 6 rigs, 470s, 480s, 570s, 580s, Nvidia 970s (2), Nvidia 1070s (4?). All working great, mostly Z170 MSI boards but the 4 card rigs are on some old ass i7-930 (1366 socket) and i5-2500 (1155 socket) boards, also working great! I set the 1070s/970s to 100W and they are very stable and low power usage but leaving 5-6MH/s on the table without overclocking.

Tytanik! You are the man! Keep up the good work and thanks for offering an easy web interface, no driver installs, problem just reflash the USB! All for $2/month? This is an insane deal!

Can't wait for NVIDIA Overclocking feature. The 6 1070/970 mix are using 640w at the WALL! Im using Claymore 8.1, but 9.4 also works great. 9.5 crashes non stop!

Is there an attachment button where I can attach the screen shot or do I have to host it somewhere and link it in?


PS I also have a MSI 7 slot with 2 M.2s I'm going to try to get 9 GTX 1070s running on soon I will post results! Sorry first time using this particular forum site.
