P106-100 BOUNTY

The person who will be able to unlock the overclock of my 13x P106 Rig (on the ASRock H110 BTC) with nvOC will get


1 ETH


I only got pure P106-rigs and no non-mining cards mixtures.

PM me and I will give you access to one of my Rigs.


Thanks!


I'm ready to make a donation too, if the issue with P106 cards is finally solved, but it's been so long already ...

Download the pure P106-100 1bash for headless SSH operation from the link on the OP; replace the 1 bash on your rig with it.  

Add your pool / addresses / workername to the 1bash.

Note: for this version don't use:

Maxximus007_AUTO_TEMPERATURE_CONTROL

or

IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG

ensure they are both set to "NO"

Run the mining process; it should not OC at this time.  This is expected; it will alter the xorg.conf as needed.  

Note the Rig IP; write it down.

If you are not already running fully headless; ensure that you reboot: disconnecting any monitor from integrated graphics on the mobo before the rig reboots.

With your rig IP ssh into the rig after it boots ( see guide on the OP for more information on how to do this.  If from a linux system use the cmd from terminal:

Code:
ssh m1@your_rig_ip_here

you will be prompted

enter:

Code:
yes

the password is:
Code:
miner1

once you are logged in via SSH; enter:

Code:
screen -ls

if there is already a screen named miner use the cmd:

Code:
screen -r miner

to reconnect to the mining process and ignore the rest of this guide


if there is not; enter the cmd:

Code:
bash 1bash

to launch the mining process

once you see the message:

Quote
process in screen miner; attach with: screen -r miner

hit

Code:
ctrl + c

then enter:

Code:
screen -r miner

If you have problems with this; let me know.  I can't test this directly as I don't have these GPUs; but this should work unless I made a typo in the 1bash.


Also; you can edit the 1bash via SSH with the cmd:

Code:
nano 1bash

note this is a visual editor; again see the SSH guide for more info on nano.

In the second picture:

My guess is that you are hitting ctrl + c too quickly after seeing the mining process is launched message (the process is actually launched immediately after this is displayed, so it is possible to close it too soon)

At the bottom: you have already opened 1bash in nano without closing the process which is why you are getting that message.  Having 1bash open in nano while trying to launch 1bash might also be causing problems (although it shouldn't).

To manually launch 1bash use the command:

Code:
bash 1bash

nano is for editing 1bash

You also might need to use the cmd:

Code:
sudo reboot

to reboot the rig after changing the xorg for the first time.  It is probably best to only conditionally change the xorg; but making / testing a configuration that works more smoothly will be much easier with my own p106-100 rig. 

For now it is probably easier to use 1 normal 1060 as the primary GPU and avoid all of this. 

I would like to make my own p106-100 rig to test and better resolve all issues.  I find it very strange that these GPUs are not for sale in the US.
