Hi guys,

Is there a solution for this? I got it too (8x1070 and 125W) and can not do anything.

Love the v0018 release and all the functionality!

However, POWERLIMIT NIGHTMARES!

I have one major issue, I cannot lower the POWERLIMIT. I run 8 rigs of 1050Ti and 125W is just way to high. I have tried adjusting the base line and the individual POWERLIMIT settings and I am still seeing maximum power being utilized in NVIDIA-SMI and TEMP CONTROL. I thought maybe the TEMP CONTROL was trumping the setting, but I don't think that is the case (at least based on what my 46 year old brain and eye balls looking at the 1bash code understands). I thought maybe it was the correction in line 527, but that didn't change anything.

I tried "NO" for both WATCHDOG and TEMP CONTROL with POWERLIMIT set below MAX for the 1050Ti and I still see max power output.

I did notice during startup, of the three terminal screens that pop-up during startup that the second terminal session has the POWERLIMIT set correctly at 60. However, something happens after the third terminal screen initiates (miner starting) that pushes the POWER back to MAX.

I added another rig of 1050Tis tonight and I saw more unusual behavior from POWER settings again where GPU0 goes to 125W as the max power limit and the rest of the GPUs all complied with my setting of 65Watts. I have no idea what is causing this inconsistency in power limit settings.

I also noticed in the Guake terminal that the TEMP CONTROL module is displaying continuous notifications that 125W is not a valid power limit (even after changing the settings in the module to 60-65).

I normally run all my rigs at 60W, which keeps the current draw low enough to run 3 rigs of 8 GPUs on each 15 AMP circuit. Also, extremely efficient.

I am still hunting for what is causing the forced 125W power setting.

Are you using the new V0018? Did you made a new img, or just used a new oneBash? What version did you have before? If you used V0017 or before, perhaps you did not change the autotemp file? The first version had it's own power limits set at 125W.

Can you please try the following:
SSH into your rig or open a guake terminal, and enter:

Code:

sudo nvidia-smi -pl 60

nvidia-smi will give you output, probably telling that the power limits are now set to 60 W. If that's the case, at least you know that setting powerlimits is possible, and it's perhaps the above.
