If it is possible to use lvl 3 it most likely require Higher not lower OC; and perhaps a positive powerlimit.

The problem with making a generic guide is that pool and mining client syntax vary.  I don't really have a good solution to this.

Are you sure the client is connecting correctly to the pool?  If you disable the watchdog:


What happens when you try to mine?

Also what COIN are you mining?

This reference is in regard to Maxwell and older series GPUs.  I am not sure if Over / undervolting is possible via api in Linux for 1000 series;  I will look into this later: I believe it is already on the list.

I will add a link to this with a note on the OP.

I am not very good at sleeping; I will try to get a good schedule soon.

could I also get this answer? just having the same stupid issues with any pools that require workers. if you prefilled the bash with your own working worker info and stuff it might help idiots like me get started. I did notice that I got an authentication stratum error when just trying to run with your prefilled LBC information

Hi guys,

While I use v18, I get this error.

http://www.ballai.hu/image1.jpg

The vga params are the same as in v17 (7x1070, power limit 100, proc: -200, mem: +1100). In v17 it was stable as rock for weeks.
The problems:
- I use watchdog param but it is not restarting
- once restart after 8 hours
- ctrl+c does not work
- in the first 10 minutes I can reboot from console
- I can not use teamviewer

Please help me to find a solution.

Thank you ind advance!

There is a difference between performance mode and performance levels. Performance mode  0 is "prefere maximum performance" mode 1 is "adaptive" and 2 is "auto". Performance level is the thing with the clock speeds(adaptive clocking)1 to 4, witch you can see in the gui. It looks like a by design "feature" from the nvidia driver. Everytime you start the miner software the performance level goes to 3 and the card clock will go down. Overclocking settings will also effect the clock speed on a lower perfomance level.
Example : level 1   200mhz  and 400mhz
                  level 2   400mhz and 100mhz
                  level 3   1200mhz and 3000mhz
                  level 4    1700mhz and 4000mhz
After overclocking gpu +100 memory +1000 it will look like this:
                  level 1   300mhz  and 1400mhz
                  level 2   500mhz and 1100mhz
                  level 3   1300mhz and 4000mhz
                  level 4   1800mhz and 5000mhz
The only thing you do with overclocking, is making your card clocks speed as fast as it should be.
It would be super if someone has a solution for that.
Btw nvidia-smi -ac 5000,1800 won’t work in my case.(application clocking)

There is also a post at the nvidia devforum with the same problems.

Hi Fullzero

Is it worth to upgrade?

WTF?

UPDATE:

The system finally started. But, overclocking is applied only to the card in which the monitor is inserted. The remaining P106 cards do not overclock. Screenshots I enclose.

It's unclear what else, manual control of the cooler is turned on, set to 100%. But still the system adjusts them automatically.

From the GUI nvidia we have 0 to 3, linux have only 3 setup for PowerMizer 0 to 2.
I assume the "3" state in only for windows ?
I put negativ oc on core & clock, + full power (150W), same deal "3" is not a valid value.

I use nvoc for dual mining: DUAL_ETC_PASC

for ETC I can use only etc.nanopool.org or etc.ethermine.org servers, in all other ETC POOL servers I receive the message:

ETH: Authorization failed
: {"id":2,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":null,"error":{"code":-1,"message":"Invalidlogin"}}
Stratum - reading socket failed, disconnect
ETH: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec...

Please help me to find a solution.

Hello fullzero,
After a bunch of research and try, I built ccminer 2.2 successfully on nvOC 0018.

The previous build break is due to the openssl version,


You used a dev build of openssl in nvOC, ccminer doesn't support it. I download source code of openssl v1.0.2l from openssl.org, build the code, create a few soft links to replace the v1.1.1, it finally works. Not sure if this change breaks other things.

I also built alexis78 fork, https://github.com/alexis78/ccminer, it requires one more step, replace cuda-7.5 to cuda-8.0 in configure.sh.

I'm looking forward these miners in nvOC 0019.

Using linux requires some technical backgrounds, fortunately I was a windows developer

No
Nvidia GUI is showing 4lines level 0/1/2/3
And, when 1bash starting, level 3 is showing for short time

It is easy to add a coin to nvOC IF it uses the same algorithm as an existing coin.

To anyone who doesn't know how to add a coin.  First find out what algorithm it uses.  If it uses the equihash algo for example, find the following code about 2/3 to the end of 1bash and copy it and past it, then change all of the "ZEC" in the new code to the coin you want to mine (excluding HCD='/home/m1/zec/miner'-leave that alone):

if [ $COIN == "ZEC" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/zec/miner'
ZECADDR="$ZEC_ADDRESS.$ZEC_WORKER"
until $HCD --eexit 3 --fee $EWBF_PERCENT --pec --server $ZEC_POOL --user $ZECADDR --pass z --port $ZEC_PORT;
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

So it would look like:

if [ $COIN == "NEWCOIN" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/zec/miner'
NEWCOINADDR="$NEWCOIN_ADDRESS.$NEWCOIN_WORKER"
until $HCD --eexit 3 --fee $EWBF_PERCENT --pec --server $NEWCOIN_POOL --user $NEWCOINADDR --pass z --port $NEWCOIN_PORT;
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

Do the same for the address and pool area towards the beginning of 1bash.

However, I haven't figured out how to add a new algorithm to the mix.  I also wanted to try out this SIGT.  I downloaded the new version of ccminer 2.2 that others are using and followed their guide on adding the .bat file, but couldn't get it to run. 

Maybe a guide on adding new miner software would save you some time in the future.  This is a great mining OS.  The downside is that it attracts many newer miners like myself. 

Thanks for your help.

It says utilization is too low. Reviving did not work so restarting machine

Overvolting ...is it possible with nvOC? Seems like there is literature on it for Linux with Nvidia:

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/902932/linux/overvolting-/

But I have not found a way to do it yet. It would be helpful for a number of algorithms ...overvolt a bit and lower wattage. I do it in Windows with Equihash with very nice results on my 1060 cards.

Unzipping nvOC_v0018.zip (hash verified) on MacOSX using default Unarchiver or unzip resulted in corrupted file (I noticed this issue has been reported by several users). Because I don't have PC where to extract it, I found that Keka (http://www.kekaosx.com/en/) works perfectly. Keka is free unarchiver for Mac based on p7zip (7-zip port) and it extracted file without issues. Maybe it can be added to instructions for mac to avoid frustration for mac users.
