What is happening at nanopool xmr

The performance for has been shit for good 4 days now.

Thinking about moving my hash over to dwarf pool.

not sure but I may do the same

@LoneRangir keep plugging away at it.

Tried Ubuntu 16 instead of CentOS 7. Same thing. Gets goofed up in the bootloader when 6 cards are present. I'll have to see if there is a MB bois update.

LoneRangir... save the whitehair and just use smOS -- its customised Linux crypto mining on a usb stick

yeah works well.

Yes, I've followed the other thread. I may give it a shot, but at this point, I'm leaning towards a hardware issue getting to six, rather than software. Since smOS is linux-based, I have little hope that it will see all six. I'd love to be wrong, though Cheesy

Centos is more difficult to setup vs Ubuntu.

I think in your case, it may be a riser issue... just gut feel.

Going to Linux will fast track troubleshooting (ie. faster to identify and isolate issues; IMHO), vs Windows which may need DDU, reinstall Crimson etc.... take another "couple of hours"

I recommend this link below - I managed to get 6 GPU and 7 GPU (with 3-1 PCI splitter) setup on it during my testing days with Ubuntu.
https://blockoperations.com/build-6-gpu-zcash-headless-mining-rig-ubuntu-16-04-using-claymore/

On smOS, it basically has simplified my mining operations and I get to study more Linux now than Windows. I have enough of W10 and its bloody updates. I still have Win7 however, for my day-to-day workstation, Teamviewer, other monitoring, etc. in warehouse. But its all Mac and virtualised Win7 and Ubuntu at home

I've not done an apples-to-apples comparison yet, but the power usage under Linux (and perhaps smOS?) seems to be much higher. Four of the five working cards are reference 480s with modified firmware (low energy), but their usage feels way too high. And there's not great way to tweak the voltage further under Linux.

I'll do an actual compare when I get more time

On smOS...
My RX480s are all with Heliox Low Energy Roms.
Mining XMR with a 6xRX480 rig does slightly over 800watts.
Mining ZEC... just over 1000watts
Mining ETH... just under 1200 watts.

If I recall during Windows.... its no better than this.

For smOS, the kernel used in that Linux version seems to be where the magic sauce lies, and faster performance and power consumption are much improved in the last kernel update by Tytanick.

Finally got all 6 cards running. Had to use W7 & the registry hack. Neither linux distro would recognize 6 cards. Rig consists of 4 x 480s (Reference & low energy rom) and 2 x 470s (1700 strap) in an open air frame. Hitting 171 MH/s on ETH and about 1010 watts. Tweaked all core voltages to be 0.98v or so using WattTool. Core speeds between 1075 and 1100 MHz, depending on the card. 1900 MHz memory on the 470s and 2100 on the 480s.

We'll see if it's still running in the morning Grin

I have 4 pandas and 51 rigs on Eliovp's site. It works well. Mining monero right now on pandas getting 6.4/6.5K on his rom and roughly 950 or so watts. My 51 x 6 cards rigs RX470's getting 4.52K on 640 Watts =)

These are Eliovp custom roms so not free but well worth it.

At this point I have 1 rig on his os and a license for 9 more rigs.

I am going to open a skype account to talk with him about getting the os licenses working.

I want to be able to run my rigs on his os or simple mining os before I buy any roms.

Once I can run on:

windows 7
windows 10
smOS
evOS

I will feel safe enough to get a custom rom for all my msi rx 470's 4gb size.

I really wish I purchased uniform cards. I bought a mix of cards, and everything would be custom and different. I have 4 reference 480s, and whatever else was on sale, 17 total. Hard to justify so many different roms

Got my rig (6 MSI RX 470 Gaming) up and running on Sat. So far have done nothing but fire up the Claymore 9.7 XMR miner. Was expecting all sorts of issues getting it to run right but all 6 cards were detected fine and its running along at 3300 h/s since Saturday. These cards are so quiet, can hardly tell its on other than the PSU fan. I know they run faster than that but have not messed with any settings at all yet. Going to try and set it up for ETH today and see how it does.

you can get 550 easy per card 600 with a clock adjustment.

That is what I am getting right now (3300 total for 550 each card) without touching anything. Ran GPU-Z today to check the memory and they are all Hynix. Downloaded the ETC miner but did not have time to test it out.

Meanwhile I am working with Eliovp 's mining os it is more complex the simplemining.

I can do a 1 card rig fine
I can do a 2 card rig fine
I can do a 3 card rig fine
I can do a 4 card rig fine.

I have yet to try the 8 card pandaminer

But I have the following problems.

I can not seem to rename my miner
I can not do 2 rigs. I should be able to up to ten.
I can not change name or add a second rig

thanks Phil.

Using the pin hole not used as the marker, the pins 15 and 16 should be the correct ones.

I should really get a proper jump kit for this but for now the quick and dirty way will sufficient for testing purposes.

NOTE: working great, tested with a fan

1300 G2 when I bought my pair included a black plastic plug-in piece that acted as a jumper.

as do many evga psu's the g2 the p2 the t2 models all come with that jumper.

I didnt see that plastic plug in piece in the box!
