Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System

Is there a way to tell which GPU is in which slot? For instance, lets say I have a 5 card rig and GPU 3 is having issues. If I want to physically pull GPU 3 and try it in another rig, how do I know which card is GPU 3?

When the miner is running, you can press a number (0 - 9) to turn a card off or on. I just watch the fans, and start with 0, then 1, etc...

Thanks SealTx. That'll help me track down GPUs. Unfortunately I noticed the fan still runs after mining is disabled, but it does slow down so hopefully I can pick out the GPU when needed.

Thanks tytanick. I assumed that would be the case/numbering scheme, but you know what they say when you assume.

I have a small hand held Infrared temp gun, if you can disable one card at a time you can easily see which one is cold with the IR Temp gun. The Pic that Tytanick posted is just not the case, I don't know why but Win10/Linux just randomly seems to assign the GPU #s to random cards. Almost all my rigs have two cards that are side by side on the PCIE port but they will be #2 and #6 or #1 and #5. Not sure why but disable one at time and check the temp, I've had a few cards not take the BIOS mod and used this method to determine which one is which.

Good idea. I may have to pick up a cheap IR temp gun. That would also come in handy if one of the GPUs isn't showing up on the rig. That would make it much easier to figure out which one isn't showing up/mining.
