Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

Hello miners...

First things first, I would like to thank 'fullzero' (infact hero Cheesy

) for this fantastic job, can't thank him enough.

I've built my first RIG very recently, I would like to find the best OC settings and pool settings to get the best out of it, with the help of miners expertise.

I was getting really good speed on windows but for some reason it doesn't allow me run more than 3 GPU's (it was a trial version), but it was doing 20 MH per card from stock with claymore dual mining.

I had to switch back to Ubuntu but the trouble is I'm only getting 18 MH on an average per card, I'm using claymore dual (ETC + PASC) with CUDA 8.x nvidia driver - 375.66, pulling 1044 watts from wall.
Temperatures : 65 - 73 C
Fans on Auto : 39 - 43

My config -

ASUS DUAL GTX 1060 - 8 GPU's
ASUS Z270P
8 GB RAM
2 x EVGA G2 750 Watts PSU units
8 x V6 Risers
120 GB SSD

Fellow miners using same cards, please share your Core, memory OC + fan + power settings. I would also like to know how to add multiple pools to the nvOC oneBash file.

Would also welcome suggestions about best combination cryptos for better ROI with my equipment.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Glad you like nvOC

Are these 3gb or 6gb 1060s?

If they are 3gb I would try these settings:

Thanks for your reply

I'm using 6GB 1060s.

What settings would you suggest?

I'm currently on

Core Clock - 100
Mem Clock - 800
Power Limit - 110 Watt

I'm getting
160 MH (20.xx per card) on average (6 hours) 1620 MH for PASC on average (6 hours) for 8 cards (definitely increased from my previous hash rate, thanks for that)

Any suggestions/improvements would be really appreciated.

I would bump up the mem Clock by 50 every 5 mins or so until you get a soft or hard crash then back off.

Is there a way to set a rig to automatically reboot if there's a GPU hang? Like the Claymore has the Watchdog option along with a -r command to run a reboot.sh script?

Working on this.

Anybody managed to make 2 m.2 adapters work on this ?
I have v0016 on a msi 170A gaming M5 and it works fine with 8 GPU (7 pci slots + 1 m.2 adapter ) . If I add the second adapter ... that GPU is not recognized .
Anything else I need to setup in Bios or Linux ?
I updated Bios and enabled encoding .

Thanks!

EDIT : Tried on 2 rigs and same issue . The adapter works as I put 2 from working rigs .
The one that is working is the one nearest to the CPU

I had the same results as you.

I was able to make it running with 3 cards so far, now waiting for 2nd PSU and add the other 3 missing ones, I read dmsg and it was failing a few times with the error "GPU at 0000:03:00.0 has fallen out of bus", couple of reboots and it worked, I noticed a few errors when mining DCR, I needed to add to oneBash file a couple of exports in order to make some errors disappear:

export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT="100"
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS="1"

but DCR still is having some nonce errors and not actually mining anything

Another thing I notice it's a typo in the DGB (written DBG in one variable) in the oneBash file, didn't try to mine DGB but it might give problems

Thanks for noticing the typo (it was global so it didn't change execution) I fixed it in the newest oneBash.

with Claymore Environmental Variables:

I think I will add a switch to selectively execute them in the next oneBash. Sometimes these can cause problems, so I don't want to universally apply them.

Nvidia cuda update. Up to 15% increase hashrate on 1060s

31MH/S on 1060 !!!

this could be true. maybe op will look into it.

I purchased a higher end 32gb stick will test it soon.

these below have been good

I had a miner stop over night but it has the highest clocks so I restarted it but I think I will back off on the clocks.

I will look into this:
