Topic: [OS] rxOC easy-to-use Linux AMD Mining v_stopgap - page 16. (Read 31393 times)

Gygabyte GA-170x-ud3 with disabled audio controller.
I am currently mining with an Ubuntu Server

Good Morning FullZero -
I apoligize for the long post but I need to get it all in here

My first working mining rxOC AMD rig is up and running.

I want to ask some questions about clock settings.

Question is easy. How do I tune Linux version to get speeds near Windows?

As a base line I am dual mining Claymore ETH/SIA at -dcri 12

My cards are as follows -

GPU #0: Hawaii, 7991 MB available, 40 compute units (R9 390)
GPU #1: Ellesmere, 4050 MB available, 36 compute units (RX 570)
GPU #2: Ellesmere, 4050 MB available, 32 compute units (RX 470)

The 2 RX's have been bios modded and under windows 10 they run app. like this -

ETH: GPU0 29.897 Mh/s, GPU1 27.030 Mh/s, GPU2 27.096 Mh/s

I get those speeds by using Trixx and setting the following -

GPU #0: Hawaii, 7991 MB available, 40 compute units (R9 390) - 1100/1500
GPU #1: Ellesmere, 4050 MB available, 36 compute units (RX 570) - 1140/1900
GPU #2: Ellesmere, 4050 MB available, 32 compute units (RX 470) - 1140/1880

OK thats my stuff and how it runs on Windows...Now lets talk Linux

*****************************************************************************************

As a base line for the rest of this talk.
Using rxOC V12 with Parallax's mod
Dual mining ETH/SIA Claymore 9.5 -dcri 12
ETH_EXTENTION_ARGUMENTS="-dcri 12"
Same cards as above -

MY CURRENT SPEED WITH THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS -

ETH: GPU0 24.910 Mh/s, GPU1 24.086 Mh/s, GPU2 25.116 Mh/s


My oneBASH is currently set as follows -

 
PERFORMANCE_LEVEL="HIGH"        # HIGH LOW
 
# select level: to see supported clocks scroll to the top of the mining process
__CORE_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=4   # for ETH use lowest without decreasing the hashrate / Highest for ZEC
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_LEVEL=7   # use highest level
 
OVERDRIVE="NO"                  # YES NO  <---LOCKS UP WHEN I TURN THIS ON
 

 
My ROCm Output is as follows -

I don't have 480s anymore I have all 470s
And have no issues with my custom bios

You can change the hostname of the computer that TeamViewer uses without changing the hostname itself
When you sign in with your account it gives an option to add this computer that's when you change the hostname

Teamviewer. Now I have 3 m1-desktops. Teamviewer having an issue with that. Or perhaps I am using TeamViewer wrong..

What service / program are you using, that I am guessing ( is mapping hostname to IP addresses) ?

If you change the hostname you will need to add Maximus007s change again with the new hostname in place of m1.


This is the only thing that stands out off the top of my head.

I am planning on allowing for the modification of host names in a later version.

I don't have any 480s so I can't test this; has anyone tried using a custom rom with rx480s + rxOC?

Glad you like them; I still need to get to a bunch of your requests. 

Thanks kylewalter,

Good to know it works with:

MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition AMD motherboard and an Athlon II CPU

Just what I was looking for

One question though, does that driver cause any problems with modded bios on the rx 480?

Why can't the rigs all be called that?
What issue are you having?

Ok I am converting all rigs to this now and ran into an issue. All rigs cannot be called m1-desktop!

How can I change the hostname so all your scripts still work?

m2-desktop, etc...?

LOL...

very customizable this rxOC and nvOC

at the same time, for a Linux newbie,  great way to play and learn Linux

thumbs up to fullzero

okay been trying to test this OS
but the love of me i cant get it to stop rebooting
it comes up with a popup says HI m1, you have a file open what would you like to do.... bam reboot

im a moron i left the SRR connected to the motherboard so it kept restarting it because it wasnt getting the signal..

I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but the motherboards that fullzero lists are all intel motherboards.
If anyone was wondering though, I have a MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition AMD motherboard and an Athlon II CPU and I got fed up with ethOS, so I gave rxOC a shot.  I can confirm this works with 4 GPUs.

by the way fullzero, thanks for nvOC and rxOC.  Amazing work!

v0012 is out:  

v0012
  added Genoil for NICE / ETH / ETC with no fee
  added GENOILorCLAYMORE selector
  added Optiminer for Equihash algorithms
  added OPTIMINERorCLAYMORE selector
  added atiflash (use at your own risk)
  implemented  wget / pastebin oneBash auto-updating suggested by: _Parallax_
  Thanks _Parallax_  
  workernames are auto-generated (set to the rig host address: last 3 digits of the rig IP)
  added IP output to the top of mining process (easier to get the rig IP)
  added lspci and supported clocks output to the top of the mining process
  added USE_ENVIRONMENTAL_VARIBLES selector (adds them if YES)
  increased primary partition size (more available space)
  added SLOW_USB_KEY_MODE (for slow usb keys; also helps ensure the setting of powerlimits and fanspeeds)
    HUSH COIN selection

To verify the downloaded zip:

the SHA256 hash is:


If you are using windows:

open a cmd prompt:

click the start button and type:  


then press enter:

type the following:


and press enter

if the result is:


then the ZIP_containing_the_image is good

Note: you can find the file path by right clicking the zip and selecting properties


If you are using linux:

open a terminal and enter the following:


and press enter

if the result is:

then the ZIP_containing_the_image is good

Note: you can also type sha256sum then drag the zip to the terminal window to add the absolute path without typing it.


If you are using OSX:

open a terminal and enter the following:


and press enter

if the result is:

then the ZIP_containing_the_image is good

Yup- I have a skylake CPU -ie: G4400. I f i have another bad day with my windows 10 system , I will try what you suggested and let you know how it works.

Thx.

This mobo should have similar requirements to the z170 gaming 5; but I can't say for sure (as I don't have one myself):

Other members have reported that the Version 1.7 bios is the one to use for this mobo:

Download BIOS Version 1.7: https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html#down-bios

unzip, copy to usb key, attach to rig, use the m-flash to flash the 1.7 bios

then ensure you set Above 4G decoding to enabled

Also you might need to use a skylake CPU: G4400

If you try this let me know how it goes.

Anyone have rxOC working with 7 GPUs on MSI Z170A PRO Carbon motherboard?

I modded the BIOS a month ago and have it running 7 x 470s on Windows 10- but tired of windows instability.

Recently, I tried both smOS and rxOC with no luck.

If any one has been successful, please let me know.

I will also enquire elsewhere to check if EthOS works for this setup.

I will try to release the next version of rxOC by tomorrow night; but I can't promise it will be done by then.
