Hi T,
I have a development server with NVIDIA cards, under Windows10 mining ZEC.
Although AMD cards are still more cost-efficient, some miners have GTX cards laying around.
2 x GTX 980Ti and 1 x GTX 970 -- this rig about 1000-1100 sols/s ZEC mining.
980Ti runs about 410sols/s... Testing a 1080 soon (if lucky maeby latest 1080Ti).
I use EWBF and Excavator in testing and both perform very well.
It will be good if we can include an early NVIDIA ZEC Linux miner in the smOS list soon...
Thanks

Hmm but this motherboard has 7 slots right ?
Are you using some 1->3 PCI Extender ?
6 slots
yes use 1->3 PCI
All clear

Ooo nice, can anyone else confirm that the Asus Z270 A / Z270 AR / Z270 P are working with 7 or more cards? These may be my Msi Gaming 5 Z97 replacement.
also 7 gpu with msi b85m-g43 with 2 "pcie 1 to 3 1x slots riser multiplier", but return for 6 gpu.
because that is not profitable of one additional card to use triple multiplier

Good evening,
I RMAed my biostart tb85 because I thought it was defective. On simplemining I could not get the card 0 (PCI 16 slot) to run over 8 hash. I tired this with multiple cards so I know those are fine. BUT the new board is now doing the same thing. All other slots are getting 25 hash with no problem and ran for over a week without any errors. With 5 cards it runs fine but as soon as I plug in the X16 slot that 6th card runs awful. Any help would be great!
Settings:
-Stock BIOS
-No overclocks
-Power level 5
Also note:
On simple miner I cant get the core or mem clock on GPU 0 (X16 slot) to go over 300/600 even with stock clock and mem settings in place.
Can you test PCI-E Mode to Auto, gen1, gen2 and see if it will help ?I RMAed my biostart tb85 because I thought it was defective.

Also i just tested MSI Z270-A PRO.
It is working under my OS with 6 GPU.
I had to make some adjustments and the newest image (RX) from simplemining.net page is working ok with this board
Just wanted to let you know.

What is the advantages of using an OS with mining it mind, is this like regular mining with computer to specific miners type of value in increase or is it just for people who have stuff like rasberry pi or old computers running the miners etc type of convenience stuff?
In Addition to what @PhilipMA1957 says.
It's easier to install and get new rigs up and running. You simply flash a new drive or usb stick with the simplemining OS. Then change the email address in the config file. Then start your new rig running of the new drive/usb stick. At the very least it can save you hours in install times.
Also for upgrades. The OS is upgraded dynamically for you. You don't do anything. New miner software comes out. When @tytanick patches the software it is pushed out automatically to your rigs. Again this saves time every time your rigs are upgraded.
The more rigs you setup the more time savings that is.
Just to emphasize this point, if I were to rank order the difficulty of tasks involved in getting a rig up an running using smOS, I would place getting smOS to work somewhere between installing a stick of memory on the MOBO and plugging a power cable into the PSU that was a tight squeeze between three other plugs.

the advantage of this os is I can run 5, 10, 15, 20 ,25 ,30 ,35 , or lots more pc's all over the world and access them from a single gui in one spot.

Guys, if your gpu is hanging, please use Powerstage set to 6 or even 7, see if it will help ?
April 03, 2017, 06:40:35 AM
Can someone tell me why on the simplemining os i get watchdog error's:
watchdog gpu 0 hangs in opencl call exit
And on windows its all working like a charm.
The only thing i can figure out is that windows is running on claymore 12.2 and simplemining on 12.4.
I tried to downgrade, but simplemining puts 12.4 back on its place.

The only thing i can figure out is that windows is running on claymore 12.2 and simplemining on 12.4.

i see same error "watchdog gpu 0 hangs in opencl call exit" on one of my rig. (5 x rx 480 ref.)
but i have 4 other rigs on same settings and GPUs. I see that error only on my one rig. Didnt understand why.
I use USB instead of SSD. Maybe thats the reason? But i don't think so.
Btw tytanick can u tell me that do i have problems if i use USB instead of SSD ?
This error message is coming from Claymore miner - I dont think this is related to OS or smOS.
IMHO, this error message is perhaps "too much overclocking" ....
However, if you read Claymore ZEC thread, some miners experience this same issue even without smOS.
Claymore's advise is to use "-old" switch to downgrade from 12.4 to 12.0
-old try to use "-old 1" if v12.0 works stable for you, but newer versions are unstable.
but i'm using Claymore Eth 8.1
