I'm late to the mining game and hope I posted this to the correct forum.
Just finished stage one of my rig and is running stable for the most part so far with an occasional reboot here and there.
I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions or improvements they could offer moving forward.
My setup is: Windows 10 Pro (Not activated), Virtual Memory set to 16000MB/32000MB, Lock Pages Enabled
Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ 13 GPU Mother Board
Ballistix 8 GB Ram
Celeron G3900 2.8Ghz
(2) EVGA 1600 G2 PSU's
(Cool MSI GTX 1060 6GB OCV1 Stock Drivers Afterburner: PL:65%, CC:+100, MC+800, Running Temp 60c +/- Connected to one PSU with Asrock
(2) MSI Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB Blockchain Drivers Wattman: PL-23%, GPU:1000, Mem:1100, Fans:Auto, Temp 68/73c +/- Connected to second PSU
Using Victony PCIe Risers No issues at all with these risers
Will be adding (3) more GPU's. Any suggestions??
The Vega cards seems to be a little iffy. They were the last change I made to the system and I get random reboots and haven't been able to narrow it down yet.
I have been using Claymore's Dual Miner V10.0 without any issues on the 1060's. 23Mh/s Typical
I've been unable to use the Vega's with Dual Miner. I keep getting Cannot Build OpenCL and Cannot create DAG.
Here's my start.bat I added the XXX's
Setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1 <- Tried 0 and removed altogether with a reboot to clear variables
Setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
Setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
Setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us.dwarfpool.com:8008 -asm 0 -ewal XXX -epsw XXX -dpool stratum+tcp://stratum.decredpool.org:3343 -dwal XXX -dpsw XXX -platform 3
Anyone have any suggestions on why the Vega's don't work?
At this point I'm thinking about switching to the stock Vega drivers to see if they change anything.
I'm stuck scratching my head. It's probably something right in front of me.
Any suggestions on what (3) cards to add and my Vega issue would be helpful.
Hell any suggestions at all would be helpful!
Thanks
