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.

Last Bios didn't work well use previus bios so boot with 3 cards 4G decoding disable after boot os and mining shutdown and enable 4G decoding save and turn off put the others gpu boot normaly note pci latecy timer must be set at 96 and disable all unnecesary features and ports like Windows features audio and serial ports .

The only reason why I ask about the GPU is because this motherboard has been tested for 9 gpus it is the Asus Prime Z270-A and I had it working on another linux distro, but really liked what you were doing here so I decided to switch. Any other possible issues you can think of?

Meaby your motherboard doesnt support 7 gpus ?
If motherboard has 7 slots it doenst mean it will support 7 gpus

In most cases (in my envoroment) it is like that: But in other enviroments i cant tell if this will also be like that !

This is Linux OS. And linux Operating system is totally different from windows.
Basically it is much more stable and much more "out of box" than windows but we dont have undervolting tools.
There are some private tools (which i dont have) but i guess people wont release those.
As now only solution is to make custom bios with added offset voltage.
Then it is working, my rigs with 6x470 are taking about 750-850 watts from wall depending on oc settings.
I know a guy which is adding voltage offset to bioses, if you want contact him let me know by email: [email protected]
But i guess the prices are from 0.1-0.2 btc per one gpu model bios.
Here you will get a list of fan speed devices in linux:

root@simpleminer:~/utils# ls -1 /sys/class/drm/card*/device/hwmon/hwmon*/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card2/device/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card3/device/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card4/device/hwmon/hwmon3/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card5/device/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card6/device/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1
root@simpleminer:~/utils# cat /sys/class/drm/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1
153

If you want to convert this value to % then you need to make simple calculation 153/254 which is 0.6
Multiply that by 100 and you have 60% fan speed.
So the max speed for gpus is 254 and you can inset that speed to the system by using command:
as root: echo "254" > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1
But renember that my script will overwrite fan speed in system.
(acculaty it could be 254, 255 or 256, i dont renember what was top value

guys does -dcri setting not work in claymore 9.5, it seems to always be 10%...

Not a SMOS question, but linux related. I am getting 4 values for gpu fans (4 gpu rig) in dashboard: 33,28,28,40. Made some basic bash script to send fan values to my monitoring box. In is based on /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon?/fan1_input values. The issue is that one of gpu shows some crazy shit in /sys:


while dashboard/claymore show less then 50% for each GPU unit... lmsensors package shows the same. It is using /sys/class kernel subsystem.

GPUs are Sapphire RX 470 Nitro+ with modded bios.

Is there any way to get correct rpm values in shell?

hello lads. searched through the thread, but couldn't find an answer. i started using smOS recently and rigs are just doing fine. the only thing i do not like is the consumtpion. f.e. on RX 470 rigs.

6x RX 470 with custom BIOS were using in Win 10 with core 1150/memory 1950 like 860 watts from the wall

with smOS and same settings and PowerStage 1 the rig uses like 960-980 watt from the wall. I started with Powerstage 4 and went to 1 but the consumption didn't change a bit. Yes, i restarted the rig each time.
any ideas how one could further improve the consumption?

thx in advance

My mechanic is a badass. He opens shop at 4am. If I have my truck to him at that time, its ready to pickup by noon. My truck has all kinds of mods and runs great all the time... because of him. A couple of times he has made a mistake or missed something that made it so I had to drive my wife's Honda. Guess what? He made it right.

He reminds me of Tytanick. That is what I am communicating here. I love people like that.

When the miner is running, you can press a number (0 - 9) to turn a card off or on. I just watch the fans, and start with 0, then 1, etc...

Is there a way to tell which GPU is in which slot?  For instance, lets say I have a 5 card rig and GPU 3 is having issues.  If I want to physically pull GPU 3 and try it in another rig, how do I know which card is GPU 3?

Hey thanks for this amazing piece of software. I have just one issue I made all the changes you suggest in the bios however only 6 of my 7 gpus are showing up, any advice?

+1

Thanks for your progress update earlier too. Glad to hear you have tracked down help with your project. Good things grow organically rather than having to be a scheming 'better pro' watching 'market conditions' and listening to valuable paying customers 'rightfully complaining'. Looking forward to tracking how nvidia support progresses.

Thx for your opinion.

unfortunately I can't try it because the ps4 pro isn't jailbroken till this date so you can't boot anything except ofw as you can't get root access...but if anyone has an idea how to do this I would gladly try

just to set the record straight:

I recall a time when it was going to be 1 USD / rig.

Your free OS gained a lot of popularity, as did crypto currency mining in general as it became more profitable, and suddenly you decided now it should be 2 USD / rig. You are not some kind of a Samaritan just adding to the community out of the good will of his heart, you are calculating market conditions and trying to maximize your profits just like almost everyone else.

So prepare to receive profit driven feedback, when paying members are rightfully complaining about the various bugs and stability issues. Yes they can leave, but they can also come here and give extremely valuable feedback, so customers can make an informed decision about whether they should pick you at 24 USD / rig / annum or they should pay a flat fee and opt for a more stable competitor. This might in turn motivate you to build a better system and / or lower your prices. These are all normal market conditions at work. Offering something free for a while is a very well known marketing tactic, and it certainly doesn't make you exempt from future accountability ))

Trying to silence people's voices, or even worse, resorting to ad hominems, subtracts greatly from your professionalism and reputation. Everyone already knows they can just stop using your service, but they are going a step further and also criticizing it, which they have every right to do so after being charged a fee for your product. I hope this message helps you become a better pro, spend less time complaining here, and more time improving your profitable product. Good luck.

Guys just to be clear.
As has been said:
My os was free over a year. Now using it costs 2$ per rig per month.
I am not offering personal helping service to each separate user.
Still if there is a bug or missing feature then i am listening, try to fix it and implement new features.
Most cases are because it isnt clear howyo anf documentation so i am accepting all sort of problems.
If there will be documentation and well builded help pages then i will be sending users to those pages.
Still if someone start using my OS he has  a free period. If you want use then pay, if not just leave. Nobody is forcing anybody to stay here, really.
Also if someone paid for using my smos and doesnt like it i will make full refund without problem.
Please understand, i am not greedy and many of you should know this by now (1 year for free) but i also dont like people who doesnt appreciate what i did gor community (and propably they are the same in other parts of their lives)
Some people are just broken.

about that image. Yes this image was z170 version.

I  also holding with few features until my dashboard will be rewritten. I want to integrate all things into one smos dashboard. Things like chat and most wanted features and voting.
The development of smos will be stable and muuuch faster than now:)

It´s feels like being in kindergarten again...

If you don´t like this OS or if you are not happy with how Tytus handles everything.. than just LEAVE...
NO ONE wants to read how unhappy you are.. you havn´t paid him upfront.. he even puts money in your account so that you can test his OS.
No one asked you guys to use it...

If you are paying your mechanic 85$ / hr you are being screwed big time... just because you are a sucker doesn't mean others should also pay up. I suggest you keep all your financial advice to yourself on this thread, as it's extremely bad. Otherwise thanks for your genuine efforts to help.

Just in case anyone was having problems with the Asus Prime z270-p, I heard that many others have the same issues. I'm going to return it and try the MSI z270-A Pro that was recomended as I just can't get more than 5 cards on the Prime z270-p. Hopefully I can get all my cards working on it.

Do you use a Skylake or Kaby Lake processor on the z270-a pro? I want to make sure I don't have anything different so that I can maximize my chances of having less headaches.

Are people using a mix of RX cards, or just one single type? Trying to track down mobo issues seems like a big headache, but when it works it's a good feeling.
