Sorry so late in responding to the end of the problem with my rig. Smiley
It was the cheap type of risers. Tongue
Thank you all for your help.....much appreciated.

Hi I want to enter the world of mining that I recommend and that you think to buy I am interested in the gpu
Please clarify thank you.

Seems to be a bunch of bad risers was one of the main problems. Need to test it doing lyra2re2 ect.
The risers that have the transistors on them and a molex connector instead of 4 pin.

I found only 367.27 driver supports OC functions under linux. And I need cuda libraries to use ccminer, but on nvidia site only 8.0.44 version is available which depends on 367.48 driver which is not support OC functions.
So I'm looking for cuda_8.0.27_linux.run file.
Is anyone who have it can share it?
Hi try posting the question here.  Smiley CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels.  thread.

 I hope you are figuring your power availability per rig @ 120-160% expected draw?  If I ran a 4 card machine I would be for sure running a 1600w power supply..... 

I wonder if you are drawing too much +12V off the same rail that supplies the processor and are causing this all to happen.

I have seen many strange configurations once opening up power supplies and seeing what is tapping which available rail.  Many PC power supplies have 3-4 independent +12V power supply circuits at roughly 50A each...  give or take....    As far as knowing how they are distributed...... you have to open the power supply often to know the real truth...   


I dont really agree with the above (per-se):

1) I agree with giving about 20% headroom, but a 1600W PSU for 4 cards isnt necesary (unless they are 290/390 cards or some other varient that would be drawing 300w/card). the rx480 or gtx1070 you could run 6 cards with a 1200-1300W PSU just fine.

2) most quality power supplies have a single 12V rail, and the ones wit multiple rails normally are more like 2-3 rails at 30A each (3x30Ax12V=1080W)  Your suggested 3x50Ax12V PSU would be a 1800W+ beast

3) you DONT need to (or want to) open up your PSU and start poking around. youll void the warranty, risk damage, and waste your time. any half-decent power suply will have the power rating and rail ratings marked on it and also on its packaging. If not, use google.

pretty much any PSU that is gold-rated and costs >$100 should be a single 12V rail thats rated at about 95% of the actual PSU specification.

for example, the corsair ax1200 has 1202W on a single 12V rail: http://www.corsair.com/en/professional-series-gold-ax1200-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-power-supply  (click on the technical specs tab)
I know its a late response but.. that psu is setup to draw the mb, 1x graphics,and all the risers off of one rail A1..and part of another graphics card too... very bad design.

That's more like it. Smiley  ccminer1.8.2.exe  -a lbry --cpu-priority 3 -o stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:3334  -u   -p     -d 0,1,2,3,4  -i 23,0,21,21,23

A little low on the settings .. but its working so far.
Finally one problem solved... needed intensity setting for each card.... the 750ti I left at stock setting.



Your scores are low. With the lbry sp-mod #4 you can get 190mhash on the 970, 290mhash on the 980ti easily...

It's pretty interesting that you keep promoting the #4 when you don't send it to who paid you, like me for example.

Btw with #3 it was 170MH/s (minus 3.3/3.5% = 160/164)

Yesterday I tried something that would definitely crash the rig...its been mining now for 24 hours with this bat file.
Amazing. I just don't get it. The only thing that changed is it is cooler and using no fan control or oc'ing software.

EDIT: I did turn off the on-board hd graphics.

Hi

I would suggest you to make separate rigs, with just a single type of VGA. It's better this way, trust me Wink

ps: oc'ing your platform won't make any difference, don't bother
Thx...yes oc'ing won't do anything.
I built this rig to hold 2 mb 2 psus 12 980ti's ect but got interupted financialy.. so I put what I could on there.
Yes all the same cards is the way to do it like my 750ti rig. Smiley
Now that its been running for 2 days stright .. I'm going to try -i 18 on the 970's see what happens.
Thx

Here's the problem with that sp it may crash... see the intensity setting for the 970...if increase it ..it may crash.
I should be getting 150mh right now, but lowered the intensity to keep it stable.

Look at the edit I made to your string.    I suggest not polling the card with ccminer if you don't plan on hashing with it Wink  Take one more thing out of the equation....   I mean;  I see results for your 750Ti; 50 Mh... but you are putting intensity to zero?   Maybe I am confused after looking at it once more...


But I have found that some cards will take different max intensity settings between them as well.  Some have better cooling for their positioning in the casings, etc.  Lots of variables... but it looks like you are figuring out the stability issues.
Thx JK ..... yes I think 0 means default intensity... something in the back of my mine says to do this for the 750ti.
Wait I see now.. with your bat file, it wont mine with the 750ti... need that command. It goes in the order the -d calls.
Next will see if it can mine at 10 degrees above room temperature.  Smiley
It's 62f or 16.6 c in that room and was mining at normal room temperature. Closed the windows ... see what temperature goes up to.
EDIT: Starting to crash at 74f. With no external fan.

Now I get this on crash. I think I'll name this crash rig 2. Grin

I have an intel 1150 socket 2.9ghz g1850 2 core cpu on the rig.
Would it help oc'ing this a little? In fact I would like to try this...but only a little.
At 95 Degrees Fahrenheit = 35 Celsius summer temperatures ..it runs at most 45c.. so it runs cool for the summer heat.
Now it is room temperature outside and inside as winter is coming.
The specs on the miner are on the front page.
Should I try for 3ghz ?

Any help plz as I have never done this before. 

Thank you
