rdluffy, thank you for taking the time an answering my questions. I do appreciate it.
Stanlo, it sounds like you pissed off at the world. I am new to this and I am just curious to find out if I am doing something wrong.
I do not sit and wait and watch how much the cards are making all the time. I have the nanopool page to check that out, if I want.
I do not intend on using Nicehash, thank you for the suggestion.
I had seen a few videos where I have seen the Hash rate at about 115-120MH/s. I just wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong.
I have used MSI afterburner to watch the Temps on the 3090. it is running at 41-44 degrees Celsius, depending on how hot the room is.
In MSI, I have changed the power down to 70%. The core is at -100 and the memory is at stock speeds.
I have not increased the speed of the 3090, as the backplate is pretty hot. I really don't know how people can overclock the memory to 1100-1200 and not have the back plate burn their fingers off.
I will be looking at setting up HiveOS once I get home. Working away on a roster does not allow you much time at home.
I have taken the time to download the nanominer and setup the different coin config files. I started off mining Ethereum classic and then recently swapped to Ethereum.
It takes longer to get your payments, which leads me to think that I might be doing something wrong.
Now that I understand that HiveOS is a miner as well, I will be doing some more reading.
Thanks again rdluffy.
WOW my 30xx cards run at 40C when they're not mining, and then soon as start mining they run up to 70C, so I drop the 'wattage' to keep at below 72c
Where do you live Siberia? Air-Con room? my ambient temp is 32C just turning on the power-supply to boards they jump from 33c to 40c at idle
Don't believe too much the spec's, you'll hear 50-200mhs, some cards will over-clock some will not, mostly about the memory in the card, and how high you can clock it, lots of real cheap bad quality 30xx cards out there
NICEHASH sucks, all mining revenue goes to their wallet, and they keep increasing the ceiling on payoffs, and when you finally do get a payment you find it can only be spent at their 'company store' or cashed out at their 'bank', in the old days their claim was 'all payout in BTC', yes they value payout in BTC, but they never payout as such
What software you run, the one that sends all payment to your address where you hold the private-key
Software?? Most IMHO are running TREX these days on linux
Just mining is always a 30C differential, for you to tell us your cards are mining at 40C, then your ambient would be 10C, it just doesn't make sense. Unless of course your not mining, and your cards are just at idle
All my cards are like this, when one card starts creeping up above 74C, its always because its dirty, must take the entire card apart clean everything, new high-quality thermal-grease, and then temp is back below average, about every six months all year round this must be done. Dust bunny's form over critical parts block airflow ( usually voltage regulators ), they got hot with no air, if not addressed the board burns up, you must scan for burnt components, and then learn to do micro-scopic solder-reflow, after you have sourced the chips online in CHina. Just keep your cards cool, and clean. You'll be good.
IMHO people who talk about over-clocking are nuts, keeping the card cool&clean far more important, you run a card hot&dirty, and the card dies, then you have a $5k rock ( these days these cards can't be replaced ), take care of your cards.
If you over-clock, only after you got TEMP under control, monitor that the over-clocking doesn't increase the temp, I find -pl power-level is most important parameter, for temp control, sure over-clocking can get you 1-5% increase in hash, but if you kill your card how much money have you lost? Downtime for the rig; If you own 100's of rigs, sure then overclocking is REAL MONEY, but if you just have one rig and 4 gpus, don't kill them. Your fussing around isn't going to do much over-all, especially if you don't watch the temp all the time like a hawk.
I run some rigs in the house, some in the barn, obviously barn rigs get hot in the day and cool at night, so you critical is getting day temp under control;
...
Lastly, which software you use is completely dependent upon what your mining, I guess these days its all ETH? Don't know, its the most profitable. Usually the mining-pool you choose, will tell you the best software to run for their pool, and they usually provide you the download links.
