Topic: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining - page 298. (Read 418257 times)

In other news, the risers I ordered nearly a month ago finally arrived earlier this week.  After fixing an unrelated power-supply issue, I rearranged my rig to use the risers, powered it up...and saw only about half of the hashrate I had previously been getting, with nvidia-smi indicating per-card power consumption fluctuating all over the place.  BIOS settings are as recommended.  I've updated the BIOS and redid the settings.  I've tried slowing down the bus.  I've tried plugging the risers into 1x slots instead of 16x.  PCIe spread spectrum is still enabled; would disabling it likely help or hurt?  Beyond that, the only thing I can think to try is to install Windows and see if it'll work any better, but then I'd have to port my mining switchers to it (if that'e even possible...are the command-line overclocking tools used by nvOC supported on Windows?).  I got so fed up with it that I just put everything aside late yesterday evening and have been mining sweet bugger-all since.

In other, other news, as an alternative to flaky USB PCIe risers that never seem to work right, I stumbled across this:

http://shop.dmp.com.tw/INT/products/23

Depending on how the module's configured, it might need a jumper removed to change the PCIe 1x connector at the end from a target to a host, but once that's done, I'm thinking a simple adapter board might be possible that would hold a GPU in one slot, this card in another, and some power-supply circuitry as appropriate.  Add a MicroSD card and an Ethernet jack, and it'd potentially turn a GPU into a standalone miner.  The module's also available by itself for inclusion in your own designs, which might be more appropriate in the long run...but just to see if the idea would work?  If 128MB RAM isn't likely to be enough, the 1GB version is $15 more.  It should run Linux without issue, and as long as nVidia and AMD avoid certain unsupported instructions (someone said CMOV isn't supported), their drivers ought to work on it.  It's not particularly speedy, but it ought to be fast enough to keep a GPU fed with mining data.

nice catch!

I have been absent from the forum for the past 8 days; as I was moving ~3400 miles to cheaper power and a much larger power space.  

I was planning on moving mid AUG; but circumstances changed and I quickly packed my things and rigs; transported them nearly coast to coast: then setup all my rigs at a new location and dealt with all the typical errands involved with moving.

I have a lot of pm's and I still need to catch up on several pages of the thread.  I will catch up in time; I am still building new rigs, and have a number of changes I will release when they are properly tested.

IAmNotAJeep and Maxximus007 have an improved version of their watchdog which they have been testing.  I was planning on integrating a few more options into it; but it is significantly improved as is: so I will upload a link to it tonight.  

Edit:  I have posted a Download Link at the top of the OP for the newest Watchdog.

In regards to the Google Drive link being down; I still need to contact Google and see why this has happened.  Nexillus and damNmad: Thanks for hosting the image when it went down.

All of the members who have helped solve other members problems; Thanks for helping.  

yes, hddrawcopy

Do you use last nvOC version with all update from OP ?
If yes, put all your OC setting to 0, and try again.
In the 1bash file, make sure u do
If u have a screen attached, and try again.


If u are on ssh with no screen attached do
### To attach the screen ###

how does me saying no support, no use has something in there saying that the dev should not take a break. the nvoc is not supporting what I am doing, so there is no use for it for me. really just basic english i am using here, there wasn't anything hidden in what i was saying.

and actually i think this is a great addition to the community, free or not free.

I don't think that's the case. All GPUs are mining as we speak.

Try to find the "bad" vidocard, pretty sure it has bad riser

I've tried with my 1060 6G rig, it failed saying can't find a screen for miner, when i tried 'screen -r miner' on quake terminal, still no luck.

Any Idea why?

Hi guys,

i do a little "how to" if some people want to mine SIGT / skunk algo.

First of all i use Palginmodccminer ( the SP_MOD is faster but u have to pay )

FIRST STEP GET THE CLIENT

### Be in home dir ###
### Create a directory for your new miner ###
### Go in new dir ###
### Download miner client ###
### Extract the file ###
### Delete start.sh ###
### Back to home dir ###

SECOND STEP EDIT BASH

### Open 1bash
### Add SIGT  and  SIGT_BTC to the coin selection


### Add SIGT and SIGT_BTC specs ( u have to modify SIGT_WORKER and SIGT_ADDRESS by your seting )


### If u use SIGT_BTC, be sure to get correct ( your BTC adress )


### Add miner specs to the end of ur file between the two last "fi"   ( ensure ur worker have x password on suprnova pool, or modify the "-p x" by "-p YourPassword" in the SIGT section )


THIRD STEP OC SETTING ( ASUS 1070 GTX 8OG / prolly ok for most 1070 gtx )

First of all this algo, gona get a lot of heat from your card, he use core, not memory.

CoreClock : 120
MemClock : -2000
PowerLimit at default : 150W
Temp Target 70°
Fan between 95% - 75%  ( I use watchdog )

This fine tunning work like a charm 213mh/s on suprnova, 211mh/s on zpool

U have to disable

Or your RIG gona get restart for nothing, i dont modify IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG, if i do prolly i can get him work with this setup but more simple to stop him for this coin


Et voila

So you expect the dev to never take a break from work and be available 24/7 to support a product they provide free for the community?

I'm experiencing a slight inconvenience with the system. I have a MSI Z170 Gaming M5 motherboard with 7 GTX 1070 GPUs connected to it. Configured the motherboard as per the instructions and wrote nvOC onto an SSD drive. The system works great when I have only one GPU connected to the motherboard (boots, GUI loads, and it starts mining).

But, once I connect all 7 GPUs, it takes much longer to load and I only get a blank screen. The monitor is connected to the first GPU. The system starts mining after a while but my display remains blank.

Any ideas?

The image is about 16GB.  It will not occupy the entire 32GB drive.  After flashing, you must resize the ~16GB partition created in order to use the entire drive.       --scryptr

What program did you use to flash it? Did you use HDDRawcopy?

What did you use to copy the image over to the USB ?

I have an issue with storage. I used usb 32gb to load the os. However, when I check property of "my computer" in linux, it only says 14gb capacity. I wonder what happens to the other 16gb. That's the reason why I always have warning of running out of storage. Anyone having the same issue?
