Is anyone else out there mining with Founders Edition 1070s?  What OC/power settings are you using?

I've been running ~3 hours stable with:

__CORE_OVERCLOCK=200
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=900

-pl 105

How much further can/should I push this with only 105W power?  I'm stuck with 2 cards per PCI-E cable until next week when I get a shipment of new cables.

Is it better to use the v15 image or the specific image for my board you created ?

Well it's not really password-less, it just removes the need for entering a password when you 'sudo' a command. So the miners don't run as root, it's just for nvidia-smi commands to run in oneBash as (sudo)root without expect. I'm personally not into a password-less version.

OP, I am up and running w/ OC and manual fan speed now that my risers arrived and I can run multi-GPU.  Obviously none of the End Users are going to be running single-GPU so there's no point in troubleshooting that further.

Pic of the rig (sans case/frame - that's my project for this weekend):

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your hard work.  I am going to run this rig for 24 hours (from 9pm EDT tonight till 9pm EDT Saturday) using your Ethereum address to show my appreciation, and hope others will follow my lead on this.  I am not a stranger to Linux, but very much a novice, and I was not making much progress in getting Nvidia to play nice with Ubuntu.  You saved me quite a bit of time and headaches.  Keep up the great work!

Just to be clear, HDDRawCopy (Link) is the image link I need to download for this build correct?

That would be convenient.   If there is enough interest in this I will make a password-less version. 

I am not sure if I want to allow EWBF or Claymore run as root.  Being closed source I can't review the code and ensure it is all on the up and up.

Don't get me wrong; it wouldn't be in the best interests of EWBF or Claymore to put malicious code in their miners: so I don't think it is the case.

But IMO slightly slower boot is worth better peace of mind.

If anyone else wants a password-less version: let me know.

@fullzero, V015 is working perfectly!

Not sure if you like it, but to speed up the boot process, you might want to consider the following:

sudo visudo  -f /etc/sudoers.d/90-m1
and add the following line:
m1  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

There will be no password asking when sudoing, that way you can loose all the expects, passwords and sleeps in the bash files.

Maybe that's the case below with the 6xZotac1070.... 2800mhs, 6 cards that is about right...

When I first experimented with nvoc, I replaced ETH addresses to mine, reboot and BUT it started mining ZEC instead.....
... later I found out that I need to also change the COIN to ETH instead of the default ZEC....

I have noticed this ZEC worker (looks like a 6x 1070 rig) mining for me; I'm not sure if it is intentional or not:



For new miners: always ensure that you replace my addresses with your own for any coin you mine. (unless you are intentionally mining for me)



I have noticed a lot of XMR miners pointed to the nvOC default XMR address as well.  Could be a farm or many individual miners.

To reduce the possibility of unintended mining for me I have changed the default setting of plusCPU in the newest oneBash:

plusCPU="NO"

if you have plusCPU="YES" in oneBash; your rig will mine a very minor amount of XMR with the CPU.  To ensure this mining is for you; in this section:

# if plusCPU is "YES" replace with your XMR info
XMR_WORKER="nvOC"
XMR_ADDRESS="47sghzufGhJJDQEbScMCwVBimTuq6L5JiRixD8VeGbpjCTA12noXmi4ZyBZLc99e66NtnKff34fHsGR oyZk3ES1s1V4QVcB.23d5f83d0021a50d8f809f4727c8622d3ea25798942bcb1ba0eee40cc157f6 5c"
XMR_POOL="stratum+tcp://xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org:14444"

you need to replace my XMR address:

XMR_ADDRESS="47sghzufGhJJDQEbScMCwVBimTuq6L5JiRixD8VeGbpjCTA12noXmi4ZyBZLc99e66NtnKff34fHsGR oyZk3ES1s1V4QVcB.23d5f83d0021a50d8f809f4727c8622d3ea25798942bcb1ba0eee40cc157f6 5c"

with your own (unless you are intentionally mining for me)

I have had reports from users of 1080ti rigs having slightly lower GPU hashrates while using all threads with plusCPU.  I have also noticed this myself with 7+ GPU rigs.  I implemented a threadCOUNT (was xleejohnx's idea) which I default to 1 thread in the newest oneBash. 

# Number of threads for plusCPU
threadCOUNT="1"         

In my tests using 1 thread had no effect on GPU hashrates; so I recommend making an XMR wallet if you don't already have one (you can also use a poloniex deposit address as well for this) and using plusCPU with threadCOUNT="1" .

In oneBash, the power limits should be variables.
As previously said, putting at least oneBash script on github would make modifications easy to follow and we could propose diffs.

Is anyone heaving issues with ZEC miner? I have 4 cards in one of my rigs: 1050ti, 1060 6G and 2x 1070 and it's running at full speed and after few minutes the mining speed drops to like 40% and after 2-3 minutes it's back to full speed and it's doing that over and over again...
I have all cards with around 70% tdp +140 clock and memory at stock.

Matters. You should read more about RAM memory channels.
