I suggest bios modding your AMD cards if your mining on Linux. No real good tools for OC'ing and stuff.
You can set your default clock speeds in the bios and be done with it.

I did some quick tests with the numbers I know from Windows 10 that I used in MSI Afterburner. In Ubuntu I got at the beginning almost the same hashrates as in Windows, but unfortunately Claymore hangs after 5 minutes because of OpenCL errors. Next week I finally have some more free time and will experiment a bit more with the bios to get higher hashrates. I'm getting 23,4 Mh/s now and in Windows 10 I got about 28,5 Mh/s so that's a 30 Mh/s difference with a 6 card rig. But Windows is not an option anymore with my AMD cards, it was giving me a lot of headache Wink

My owner and I made OhGodATool for this - and it works well. Claymore's options for voltage, fanspeed, and clocks do nothing on *nix.

That sounds great for future implementation. You are right about Claymore, I tried -cclock and -mclock but it does nothing.

This is exactly what I was looking for Cool

I was done with the error 43 in Windows 10 with my RX570 cards.

An overclock option in MHz like said before in this topic would be very nice! That's actually the only thing that fails in Linux; an Afterburner alternative.

I tried to overclock with Polaris with the same numbers as I used in Windows and getting good hashrates while testing, but unfortunately it's not stable. I keep getting OpenCL errors in Claymore after a while. I got back to stock and will experiment later on. Maybe Claymore 9.7 will do this better?

Keep up the good work! When I got this AMD rig stable I will switch all of them to rxOC and nvOC.

You can set your default clock speeds in the bios and be done with it.
Alternatively you can mine with Claymore and set clock speeds in the command line. (if you dont mind paying the Claymore tax)

Very nice.

I might have to get OhGodAnOffset from you later.

fullzero, thank you for your NvOc and RxOc. Can you please update the RxOc? I want to change SimpleMining to something better, flexible configuration, but RxOc is didn't updated so long time and I don't know if you stop working on this.

I am planning on updating rxOC with a new version this week. First I am updating the 1bash for nvOC with all the requested coin changes / then I will update and release a new rxOC version.

Doing it this way is faster in the long run.

Any news about updating of RxOc?

Sorry; I have fallen behind on my timeline. To say, I have been distracted by the Bitcoin situation; would be an understatement. I will start splitting my time between nvOC and rxOC until I finish v0013. I realize adding a watchdog and autotemp will make a huge difference.

Have you tried updating the bios on this motherboard?

Yes! I am currently using 7A75v12 (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z270-GAMING-PLUS.html)
Does it have to be in a special latency value? It is set by default in 32b. Pcie gen 1 o 2? UEFI o Legacy?
I've tried many permutations, all the same problem.

I've been trying with 4 GPU.
With disabled above 4g memory, only 3 GPUS are detected in most cases (sometimes all of them are able to mine)

I don't have one of these mobos; not sure what bios setting are needed.

Does anyone have one of these mobos and know good bios settings?

I've this on the MSI official web page: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Z98LONNR0hTGM0Y0ViR0VXS2c/view
Its made for windows, how does it apply to your OS?

See the nvOC OP for that mobos required bios settings.

Ok, I decided to try with 6 GPUs. The first attempts it got stucked at a black screen.
Then it started to show the debug console of linux and got stucked here: http://imgur.com/a/iDZ1a http://imgur.com/a/FSwHP (this is the final lines of the trace, the first sentence it showed said: "Invalid ROM content"
After that, the main gpu (the only connected on the pcie port closest to the micro) stop emiting image, and I was forced to connect the monitor to the other gpu in order to get image.
Then following attemps it went to the loading screen from ubuntu forever.
And then it started to work "fine" (only 4 gpus recognized)

The OS is only recognized in Legacy boot mode, if I switch to UEFI, it asks me for a booteable device.
I have two identical mobos (MSI Z270 gaming plus), both with the same problem: I cannot enable 4g memory. With your OS it shows the image I posted, and with other ones it only gets stucked in a black screen at logon.

I read a lot of posts in different forums from people with the same problem, and I tried everything and nothing worked. Sad

Hey,

I tried to image rxOC on a 32 gb flash drive, I am using the link with multiple colors for v0012 - "rxOC_v0012 Google Drive Link use this image for all mobos"

is this the correct link to we download and then image onto our usb after we decompress it?

I imaged the usb and tried using it on one of my rigs but it's just a black screen for hours with some text in the top left corner.
/devsda2: recovering Journal
/dev/sda2: clean, 456748/958464 files, 2246366/3805440 blocks

I tried doing the cmd and typing what you said to put and I get "they system cannot find the file specified"

I tried this on my mac as well and the command does not work, so what am I doing incorrectly? Thank you!

With the downloaded zip follow the process in this post to verify the downloaded zip file has no errors:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19861481

If you are having trouble verifying the sha256 hash; most likely you are not replacing:

Code:

PATH_TO_IMAGE_ZIP_HERE

with the path to your downloaded zip

you can find the path by:

Code:

dragging the zip to the terminal window to add the absolute path without typing it.

after you have confirmed the sha256 hash

Extract the img from the zip file (this will take several minutes)

Use the resulting image as the source when imaging to a USB key.

Your first imaging may have had an error; and reimaging is most likely the solution.

However it is always a good idea to verify a download ( when it is this large ).

Thank you for getting back to me. I started over from the beginning on my Mac. I downloaded it and dragged it onto my desktop. I could not confirm it in the terminal using SHA256

The sha256 sum posted was for the zip file; and you have found the hash for the extracted image. I will find this hash later and check (but to verify the download do this with the zip file and see if the resulting hash matches the one from the post.

Thank you!

Need help guys. My rig keeps crashing and I don't know why. Running rxoc v0012

mobo is biostar tb250-btc
gpu 1 is a sapphire 580 4gb nitro+
gpu 2 is a xfx 480 4gb (with the stupid white leds)

If I run both gpus with unchanged clocks on onebash, I get pcie bus errors and it fills up the USB. I know it's not the risers because I tested them individually (after receiving replacements from the seller) on both gpus using smOS and rxoc individually and got no pcie errors.

Miner thread hangs, need to restart miner!

What's going on? bad gpus? bad mobo? risers have been swapped out already 2 times. I am a total Linux noob by the way.

First I would try setting:

Code:

OVERDRIVE="NO"

and seeing if that is what is causing the problem.

Ensure your fan speed is set high enough to keep your GPUs cool:

I would try 200

Code:

FAN_SPEED=200

It also looks like there are some disk errors occurring: if disabling the overdrive and increasing the fan speed doesn't solve the problem: I would reimage the USB or use another USB.

Let me know how it goes.

Well, I just tried to run rxoc again, I turned off OVERDRIVE and increased fan speed to 200. I am still getting spammed with these errors in xorg log

(WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 143245 < target_msc 143246

and pci errors in syslog.log but I know for a fact that the risers are good. I think it might be the mobo, Guntis Vintolins posted a video on youtube and had problems running your OS on biostar tb250 (he has the 12 riser board) and went back to his previous OS. What else do you suggest I try?

Those errors most likely involve PCIe lanes and specific submodules like an audiocontroller ect that also use the PCIe lanes; having conflicts / inadequate bandwidth. So yes I think this is a mobo problem; could potentially be solved by changing some bios settings: but using a different mobo should be the quick and easy solution.

I haven't tried 12x AMD gpus on the new 12x biostar yet, but I imagine the same process to change the 2x bios settings must be used for AMD GPUs as it needs to be used for Nvidia GPUs. See the nvOC OP for this information.

Hey,

I tried to image rxOC on a 32 gb flash drive, I am using the link with multiple colors for v0012 - "rxOC_v0012 Google Drive Link use this image for all mobos"

is this the correct link to we download and then image onto our usb after we decompress it?

I imaged the usb and tried using it on one of my rigs but it's just a black screen for hours with some text in the top left corner.
/devsda2: recovering Journal
/dev/sda2: clean, 456748/958464 files, 2246366/3805440 blocks

I tried doing the cmd and typing what you said to put and I get "they system cannot find the file specified"

I tried this on my mac as well and the command does not work, so what am I doing incorrectly? Thank you!

Maybe this will work:

Ensure the monitor is connected to the primary GPU ( the one in the 16x slot closest to the CPU )

Disconnect the USB or SSD/HHD from the rig.

Fully power off everything: including the PSU.

Press the power button several times to clear any remaining power in the mobo.

Turn the PSU powerswitch back to | "on".

power on (without the USB attached)

See if the bios posts; if you get nothing in 20 seconds; press ctrl + alt + del repeatedly until the system reboots.

Wait and see if the bios posts.

If the bios posts attach the USB key to a USB 2.0 port and press ctrl + alt + delete.

if it boots; stop the mining process before it starts mining:

then go to the top left and click the ubuntu button

type u

and click on software updater

run updates

reboot

Let me know if this works.

I tried with a new motherboard MSI Z270 Gaming Plus with only one GPU directly connected to it, and a new PSU.
Same Result.
I have extra pendrives but I am not able to copy the image there because they are 15.5 Gb and I it needs 15.6.

If the bios posts; you can access the grub loader menu by pressing

esc

continuously while booting (note holding it down doesn't usually work), then select boot in recovery mode.

in recovery mode:

Enable networking

then install updates from the cmd prompt:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --yes

and reboot

this should ensure your build has all known system files for your system.

I tried again a MSI Z270 gamining PLUS, only one gpu connected to the monitor, disabled avobe 4g memory, and it worked.
If I enable 4g, the screen gets like this http://imgur.com/a/w8sSc . Dont even reach grub.
I tried in UEFI and Legacy, and PCI gen 1 and 2.

Have you tried updating the bios on this motherboard?

Need help guys. My rig keeps crashing and I don't know why. Running rxoc v0012

mobo is biostar tb250-btc
gpu 1 is a sapphire 580 4gb nitro+
gpu 2 is a xfx 480 4gb (with the stupid white leds)

If I run both gpus with unchanged clocks on onebash, I get pcie bus errors and it fills up the USB. I know it's not the risers because I tested them individually (after receiving replacements from the seller) on both gpus using smOS and rxoc individually and got no pcie errors.

I'm mining ZEC and it doesn't matter if I use optiminer or claymore, eventually the system hangs due to some error. I checked the error logs and this is a snippet of what I find

from the xorg.0.log: [ 2402.679] (WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 143245 < target_msc 143246 (a crapload of these)

from the syslog.log: only the 580 gpu running:

Miner thread hangs, need to restart miner!

What's going on? bad gpus? bad mobo? risers have been swapped out already 2 times. I am a total Linux noob by the way.

First I would try setting:

Code:

OVERDRIVE="NO"

and seeing if that is what is causing the problem.

Ensure your fan speed is set high enough to keep your GPUs cool:

I would try 200

Code:

FAN_SPEED=200

It also looks like there are some disk errors occurring: if disabling the overdrive and increasing the fan speed doesn't solve the problem: I would reimage the USB or use another USB.

Let me know how it goes.

Well, I just tried to run rxoc again, I turned off OVERDRIVE and increased fan speed to 200. I am still getting spammed with these errors in xorg log

(WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 143245 < target_msc 143246

and pci errors in syslog.log but I know for a fact that the risers are good. I think it might be the mobo, Guntis Vintolins posted a video on youtube and had problems running your OS on biostar tb250 (he has the 12 riser board) and went back to his previous OS. What else do you suggest I try?
