What bios and card type are you using?  AS in is it a stock 64 bios, or modified and if modified do you have a link or memorystrap settings?

CAST XMR IS KING!!!

all i did was to exchange miners from claymore to cast and BAAMM 2000+h per card
for a total of 16100h/s
burning 1440W
500ETN every 14 hours!!!

this should grow to 25000h/s next week
i will post some screenshots

had to specify the GPU's by the -G 0,1,etc command at the end (i have 6 on this)
for nanopool edit run.bat file to:


if you're getting an opencl error specify by: -opencl 0or1or2 (test to see which works) after default space in the command line
i did not have this problem

i suppose the field marked as default is the worker name, i kept it as default on both and nanopool is showing 1 active worker (when its 2) stating the combined hash rate, think i will keep it this way

if for any reason you want to send some etn to the op, the addy's above
if you c/p change the wallet addy or you will be mining for me   (from etnkNeb to n7p3 not the dot)


its -14C here.......

thnx for replies guys

ive spent a full 36hours rigging

completed the regedit with the helæ table, god bless him/her/they

got the next best available mobo as the asus mining i ordered was delayed
MSI Z270 Tomahawk with 2 vega on it and the Asus with 6
getting 4 vegas more next week bringing the MSI Z270 to 6 vegas (i saw some are having probs over 4 with this mobo)

yea i know got to get cast as claymore is giving max 12200h/s on both rigs at the moment (1600 each gpu)
for now i am glad to have both rigs up and running stable waiting for the upgrade next week
that was not easy, i wont bore you with details but the bios was not my friend on this one
total watts 1450

red is MSI, blue is Asus

Using cast XMR I can get my vegas up to 2050 h/s ez. That would be a total hashrate of 16400 h/s for 8!!!

9800/8=1225h/s ? wtf man =)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

You u it wrong. Using Cast_XMR. It's better than Claymore for sure.
With vega56,64 u can match 1900h/s ez i promise

Good, now use Cast XMR and sent that total speed to 15500H/s+

NTool ROCKS!!!

i retasked the 8 vegas to ETN

no changes on my driver settings 17.11.1
no changes to registry tables

i set these values in NTool for all 8 Vega:

CPU ST6 1212
CPU ST6 VOLT 890
CPU ST7 1408
CPU ST7 VOLT 890
MEM P3 1100
MEM P3 VOLT 870
FAN MIN 2500
FAN MAX 4900
TARGET TEMP 75
ACCOUSTIC 0
MAX TEMP 85
POWER TARGET 0

diasbled/enabled gpus in device manager

started nanopool ELECTRONEUM claymore miner (done the edit with my details already)

total speed 9800H/s
using only 1250W !!!!!!!!

will be doing the regedit next to attempt stated goal

---------------------------------

Norway has an abundance of tall sharp valleys and running water and has invested heavily into hydroelectric power
there is an oversupply for the 5.5 million residents even if its wasted and STATNET sells it to Germany and oher European countries
the oil money (25% of European demand) is separate
i have lived in a few countries around the globe and this one takes the biscuit for quality of living in the western world

Haha LoL it wasn't me this time!
I might have mentioned OverdriveNtool as well at some point, maybe hence the confusion.

I use OverdriveNtool on my Vega rig indeed, it's brilliant. On my RX 570 rigs I just set the clocks in Claymore. Had to use Wattman in the past and it's the biggest POS (no, I don't mean point-of-sale, nor proof-of-stake) software ever invented.

On my nVidia rig I use nvidiainspector which does exactly the same.

Happy mining, fellas!

That is maybe a quarter electricity cost that I have, thats super low.   Norway has cheap energy why ?  I know they have oil but its usually hydro power local to the users that creates cheap power due to excessive rainfall perhaps or other local factors.

Buying Vega is still a very expensive way to enter mining but I believe Vega will be the premier card for another two years and still retain its value so it makes some sense.   The biggest wrong turn here is ETH is not the most profitable coin to mine, I think XMR runs fastest on Vega unless the power factor changes that.

The main reason to mine ETH would be to keep it not cash it out to BTC or USD.   ETH could possibly appreciate further from here as its breaking a downtrend, most would think BTC would rise faster.
A farm has a fast enough turnover to mine XMR and then buy ETH if they wanted, thats probably still cheaper to do.

Almost average 45mh for ETH mining sounds good though.   What power draw does gpu-z show  for comparison sake, I have 180w at 43.5mh, I think this could be improved but Im not running a big farm and its stable

Hello im considering building a Vega rig for mining xmr . Can i get some suggestions with an either 4 or 6 card vega 64 build   I want something stable (not counting initial time building setting it up ofcorse) that i do not have to micromanage/troubleshoot every few days/weeks. electricity is around 10-11 $USD cents here in canada

im thinking:
6x Gigabyte Vega 64
Intel Pentium G4400
2x 900W HP Server platinum power supply    @220
32GB thumb drive for hard drive

thats as far as i got so far, need suggestions for motherboard and ram

No worries at all, it was funny and made me laff. Love this community, we all learn and grow together.

That build looks awesome. I have 4 Vega 56s doing 7600H/s mining XMR. My second rig has 2 x 56s so far...waiting on a 64.

woooopsiiee, was giving cred to the quote DM

@Bostonvex, dude you're the man, cheers, send me your ETH address i'll send a token of appreciation;D


setting up a 4 vega64 Monero beast by next week maybe you wanna help?

MSI Z270 Tomahawk, Socket-1151
Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake Prosessor
Kingston A400 240GB 2.5" SSD
Corsair Dominator DDR4 3200Mhz 16GB (2pc)
EVGA1000 GQ Hybrid x 2
XFX Vega 64 x 3
MSI Vega 64 x 1
Flat cable risers x 4

target: 8400H/s

DragonMike....Bostonvex... ..heck we all look a like here anyways...you're welcome.

posted images of NTool settings and GPUZ values, ambient temp

using NTool on the first 4 cards im getting 46,2Mh
using Wattman on the last 4 cards im getting 43,5Mh

total 359Mh/s for all 8

used GPUZ to check values including HBM temp
all good and stable, will let it run for a couple of days like this

im up 10Mh/s stable from previous best, thats a quarter of a vega more speed!!!

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I think I will end up like people who were trying to find Eldorado. At least, I will get a huge satisfaction by watching my mobo being destroyed to death. After that, I will simply buy two 6 gpus mobos. I think that by trying to solve this problem I have lost money equivalent to at least  6 ordinary mining boards,  if not even more.

ventured into the NTool as pointed out by dragonmike above

WHAT A GREAT TOOL!!!

the best function of all is being able to save the settings under different labels so as to adjust all or each vega

45.5Mh on all is unstable, although great momentarily as there is a jump of 1,8Mh/s on every card for a total of 14,4Mh!!!

i tried tweeking this card or that card but the result was not reliable albeit due to shortage of time i didnt spend too much time on trial and error

it seems these multi PCIe mobos although advertised as able to run under such heavy busing stress, can only deliver on less powerful cards and cant take more than 4 boosted VEGAs STABILY, still waiting for driver update on mine

the Asrock again seems to preform better with multi gpu's, Thamez is more accomplished than i with electro-electronics

----------------------------
my SOLUTION was to restart, open WATTMAN, apply the old settings on all cards (1100mem, 1000cpu,-24%) which give a stable 43.7

then open NTool and mod the 1st 4 cards in the NTool selection tab,
these seems to make a difference for me as its the last 4 that were having issues when i was testing 45.5 on all

this way i get a steady and stable 4 cards on 45.5 and 4 on 43.7 for a tot of 357Mh/s or 2% boost on previous speeds
wattage seems unaffected around 1800

thnx for the tip dm
gotta love this community, its not only about monetary gain and people prove it actively here
shout out to the forum and its memebers


 

with high confidence i would say its:
orientate the board so you read "CrossFire Ready"
to the left there is a silver drum and to the left again a black square chip
thats the culprit i believe

This is my mobo, any suggestions for heatsink?

hi theubi


as i said im no computer engineer but i know that resistance grows with heat and heat with resistance so as a general rule i prefer to keep things cool, and this component goes above my reasonable zone of 70C

running more programs than the nesessary when we are overclocking ususaly leeds to trouble so i havent run mobo specific programs as we found no other heat blooms of concern on it

as for the Asus mobo it clearly states in the manual that you cannot run more than 8 AMD's on it until the upgrade, or so they say, and when i tried to run 9 two of them drop to nearly half speed of the others

we have suffered from the same freezes as im sure many here have, after checking all the cabling (risers especialy), virtual memory, performance settings, sleep functions, switching positions of ram bricks, switching off cortana, checking task scheduler, removing unwanted startup programs, (you can try switching off automatic windows updates, any other auto updating program), and switch off the AERO theme in intel graphics drivers

if all that still fails try a win reinstall and through that list again and if it fails again start switching the PCIe riser connections around
you should find Eldorado in the end

THNX DRAGONMIKE trying it now
