I am thinking about building an AMD rig. I already have a couple nvOC rigs. However I am still a newb and keep reading about this bios flashing stuff. Do I really need to flash my GPU bios in order to get decent hash rates with sapphire rx580 8g's? Or can I just use the OC settings within rxOC?

If someone can explain my necessity to mod the bios or tell me I don't need to that would be amazing.

I am thinking that if I need to mod the bios I might just build another nvOC rig.

Hi,

first of all i searched for an alternative to ethos. This seems perfect. It works well and is well configured. I dont like the remote stuff, but maby thats just because im an security paranoid.

Thanks for all your great work.

I have 13 rx470 running stable at 28.5 Mhs. At the wall it uses 2080 Watts. Anyone know howto undervolt this gpus anyhow?

would be great if so.

thank you

I've got a 6x MSI Armor RX580 with modded bios that I have running in windows at ~30mh/s each with some clock changes as Claymore arguments (-cclock....)

When I boot up rxOC I get only 27mh/s for each, I thought maybe it was the onebash not accepting my overclock options so I tried to run my own bash in the claymore folder with the arguments and it still only ran at 27mh/s.

Is there a setting I missed?

I commented-out the CORE_OVERCLOCK and MEMORY_OVERCLOCK because I assumed I would be clocking them in Claymore.

Thanks

hey fullzero,

you may noticed me in the nvOC thread already. Looking forward for a new rig and I am considering rx580s. I am just wondering if salfter_nicehash_profit_switching script is also implemented in rxOC and if not, will it be possible to do so?

Does rxOS support Radeon Vega 56?

Try

Code:

screen -list

To get a list of active screens. What does that give you?

It gives me:

Code:

No sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-m1.

Definitely no miners to be opened on other screens, then... I have my only AMD rig racked and headless right now, but when I have it out on the bench, I'll see if I can figure out how to help.

Is it throwing any errors? And did you make any mods to oneBash besides setting your coin/address/wallet? You're mining ETH, right? (I'm guessing from the Claymore versions you mention.)

Afterthought:

Set oneBash for Claymore, but turn on logging by doing it like this:

Code:

GENOILorCLAYMORE="CLAYMORE"  # choose GENOIL  or  CLAYMORE

ETH_WORKER="$IP_AS_WORKER"
ETH_ADDRESS="youraddress"
ETH_POOL="yourpool"
ETH_EXTENTION_ARGUMENTS=" -dbg 0"    # add any additional claymore arguments desired here

The -dbg 0 will tell Claymore's debugger to turn on some basic logging.

Reboot and let it fire up.

Then, go look in the folder:
/home/m1/eth/10_1/
for files named like this:

1509915035_log.txt

These log files will show you if Claymore is starting up properly, or crapping out, or what. If there are NO log files, then Claymore isn't trying to start at all, and the problem is somewhere else.

There is a problem I have found when using 7 or more GPUs; x will not start. This prevents the auto start execution code from running when the rig boots. To get it going one can either use:

Code:

ctrl + alt + f1

to enter console mode then login in as:

Code:

m1

miner1

then manually launch 2unix or oneBash.

or you can ssh in and manually launch 2unix or 1bash

I know this is very annoying; but it does work and is a work around for this version.

the other problem involved when using 7 or more GPUs in this version is at first boot the oneBash in the windows partition will not be copied to the home folder so you will have to manually do this. The easiest way should be to manually run the cmd:

Code:

bash 2unix

on the first boot.

You can also boot the usb or SSD on another rig and it will copy the oneBash over. Then shutdown and attach that usb or ssd to the intended rig and manually launch 2unix or oneBash.

Code:

bash 2unix

or

Code:

bash oneBash

Just switched to stopgap and I can't get it to launch the mining software. It sets all the overclocking and echos the prompt to view using "screen -r miner", but when I open a quake terminal and input screen -r miner, that screen cannot be found. I tried a couple reinstalls, tried switching from claymore 10 to claymore 9.5 to Genoils. None worked.

Try

Code:

screen -list

Here's what mine looks like:

Code:

m1@m1-desktop:~$ screen -list
There is a screen on:
        1971.miner      (11/03/2017 04:01:54 AM)        (Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-m1.
m1@m1-desktop:~$ 
m1@m1-desktop:~$ 
m1@m1-desktop:~$ head oneBash
#!/bin/bash

I have tested my stopgap version of rxOC on a lot of rigs now; with most GPU models it offers significant improvements when mining Ethash coins. I will clean it up a little; its still very beta, but works well for ETH, ZEC, ETC. I will try to upload it tomorrow before the end of the day.

Running stable since first boot with my mining address... No hassles at all.

Went from 130 to 136.7 hash on ETH with 6 * rx470, and rock solid. Thanks!

Hello there. good work.
I use ssh.
But I could not find how to restart it remotely.

how can I do this if the system crashes?

I use different cards.
I have to make them different.
Each card reacts differently.
Is there a way to do it separately?

Perfect for me, that's all I mine with the AMD rig.
