Hi guys, i need help with my rig.
Long story short, I have 5 cards instead of 6 showing in windows and i don't know why. Huh

I don't want to hijack the thread so here is the link to the topic I made with more details, if some of you can drop by and offer wisdom, it would be much appreciated. Smiley

i'm off but i'll read when i get back in a few hours.

This worked on my Zotac P106 x 6, on older H81 mobo.

Before only 4-5 GPUs were recognized using latest NVIDIA drivers - then again, risers are probably also the likely culprit

Apply this P106 specific NVIDIA package - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-_jcpU1s5dgejJJZzBTWVFJYzQ/view?usp=sharing

You can push it to core 100, mem 800, PL 99 to achieve ETH 22-23MHs

small update here, got the 6 cards showing, i installed your driver (same ones as i have on my computer to mine with my 1060 6G)
I got others issues but fixed it.
Now, i have a new problem. Miner is not stable and it seems i can't OC to what you advise me to do.

here is the problem:

when i let the rig on and mining, at one point i get this :

and/or this :

It's hard to screen because when miner crashes, it's laggy as fuck. It takes me like 3 to 5 minutes just to save the screenshot... next time i'm gonna use my phone and take pictures of my screen like a fucking retard Cheesy, way faster than waiting for nothing.

I read driver error somewhere (not showing on the screen i think). One time it lasted 4 hours, next time not even 30 minutes.
Do you have any idea what to do?


hmmm... on smOS, the rig is running 2 days straight with full OC (but XMR mining, 406watts last time I check)

Are you ETH mining? Dual or Single? for P106 - I think best to get to do ETH only (no dual mining).

Can you try non-OC settings 150 core, 500 mem and PL 65 ?

So hadn't much time to get into it last few days.

i'm eth mining. single. cards Gigabyte 1060 6G OC Windforce Hynix mem  Cry
I tried mining Zcash getting more or less 290 sols/card without any tweaking and it's stable. I Let it run for a day and not a single problem.
when I tried eth hashrate was dropping and finaly crashing, i was at PL 70 core -200, -100, +100 (tried a few to see if it changed anything, answer is not from what i saw) and mem+500.
I tried
+100 +800 = crash
-200 +600 = crash
anytime i try to go above +500, it seems it's not stable and eventualy crashes (real pain in the ass, btw)

Since i got no problem whatsoever with PSU when running Zcash, i guess it must be the GPU/drivers that are the issue?
Even with hynix mem i should be able to OC them to get 22Mh on eth i think.
