Thank you for the answer. Wouldn't it make better sense if "apply and save" button would do so with the profile with specific name that was already chosen to load at start? And only if there's none chosen then create a new one with "default for *".

Where are all these "default" profiles and profile groups come from? I sure didn't name any that way.

Updated it 10 minutes ago, now rigs refuse to start with LOLminer, diagnostics shows this:

Failed to start mining process. Is the Windows Service 'IntelliBreeze Software Maintenance Service' not running?  I'm pretty sure all frameworks libraries are installed with windows updates.

Just for the record, I work with various technical (ie not mass market) software on daily basis and most releases of just compressed files I receive are in .rar. It is still widely used amongst devs and I use winrar myself for many, many years.

I use distilled water with ~5% of antifreeze in it to prevent growth. So far so good.


Yeah, I'll get a similar one soon. Does it require external power or works only from HDMI/USB?


LOL this setup reminds me of something 7 cards are already in, are you planning to add 2nd distribution block? What quick disconnects/angle fittings are used, are these Alphacool (since you're in Germany that's be my first thought)

According to this if my core is 46C and memory hits 110C it's perfectly safe LOL

I guess you're using Hive, so no memory temps on Nvidia?  Lock your core at 1080-1100, it should improve a bit. I also guess you're in much cooler climate than I am.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm also planning to but that EK double pump you mentioned while ago, just to have it as a spare. But right now 2 pumps in series do the job just fine, backing each other up.

Suddenly my miners stopped displaying temperatures for all but one cards in my rigs. How to fix that?

Time to update.



It's been 3.5 months since I turned this rig on with 3 GPUs at the start. My first impressions weren't that great, at the ambient temperature of 32C I only saw one card's memory junction becoming much cooler, another one dropped just 4-6C and the last one didn't improve at all constantly hitting 104-106C. My first thought was radiators weren't large enough for 3080s, so I found a local company that builds custom copper radiators, had one made at my specs and installed it outside the house. Funny that, this one was significantly cheaper than branded PC one LOL



So my temperatures improved... a little bit. I'd probably keep scratching my head over this, but after adding 4th and 5th card everything became clear. I have 2 Asus TUFs (they're the coolest ones), 2 cards with reference design (RE) PCBs and a FE one, which is the hottest. The difference is in waterblocks quality. I tried to same some cash and bought a Bitspower waterblock for one of my RE cards and a Bykski for the FE. Bad, bad mistake. Other cards had EKWB. As soon as I added another RE card with EKWB waterblock I could clearly see the difference, notice GPU3 and GPU4 on the screenshot. Besides, Bykski has terrible screws supplied with it, very tiny,  soft and easily broken.



Lesson learned, 2 more EKWB blocks are ordered, problem solved.

Another thing I figured out there's no need to order backplates to mount with waterblocks, there's no improvement for 3080s. GPU2 is running with EKWB backplate, GPU1 is without it. They are same cards.

My plan is to grow this rig to 7 cards (limited by distribution block connectors). Will I build my next rig watercooled? Not sure yet, I am looking towards A5000 cards now and they're designed for air only. But if I decide to go for non-LHR 3080/3090s again I'd definitely consider water cooling for them.


Wotan are you saying one 3 fan radiator is enough to cool your 4x3080 or 5x1070 rig? From what I see in my setup it's not the case. Also, what brand are your waterblocks?


Actually it did fix the problem and at current temperatures I expect pads to run 1-2 years before they need replacement.  Yes I used pars than came with EKWB blocks and they're quite good, I also service/repair my and other's cards sometimes and have a good stock of Thermalright and Laird 90000 pads of various thicknesses.


Agreed, it's expensive. Decent waterblock with proper fittings/tubes  will set you back around $300. But on the long run with added reliability it pays back. The rig runs super stable and I don't have to worry about broken fans, dusting radiators, changing pads every half year (and this one IS expensive) and most importantly - lifespan of my cards. Take good care of them and they will last for long, long time.

Check your PM

These are never available in retail stores, you have to shop Chinese datacenter suppliers. A4000/5000, however, can be found in retail.

CMP170HX, best hashrate and power efficiency (160Mh/194W). IIRC A4000 is the next one efficiency wise.
If you can find them, of course.

Proved by who? When? Source? I only see empty FUD here.

It's weird. I pinged all pools and everything is ok with low latency around 15-40ms. However, I just tried adding this line to command parameters and again - no connection.

As I said this was just a try, nor stratum neither stratum1 worked with any pool/miner

Thing is, exactly the same is happening with rustpool and I can't figure out what I missed.



I've tried changing stratum1 to stratum and back, no effect



Also tried Gminer on rustpool+ethermine, it didn't work either.



My objective is to keep T-Rex as it's currently the best for Nvidia LHR cards and Ethermine pool for ETH, ZIL pool can be any. There are plenty of sample configs for HiveOS but none for AM. I'm obviously missing some small detail but what can it be?



Patrik, here's what shardpool recommends for Gminer: miner.exe --algo eth --server as1-zil.shardpool.io:3333 --user ETH_wallet.Rig2 --pass ZIL_wallet@asia1.ethermine.org:4444 --proto stratum 
Since T-Rex also supports dual mining I wonder how to transfer that to AM pool config.

In my case Patrik helped me to find another active copy of AM on my other notebook, which was causing conflicts and delays. The situation improved after I disabled it. However, BSODs still happen regardless of OC settings, no idea what to do with that.

Also, I'm still having trouble configuring ETH+ZIL dual mining. I re-read sxemini's guide, studied pool instructions but currently my miner (T-rex) immediately connects to Ezil/Rustpool instead of Ethermine and drops connection by timeout. Screenshots are attached, what am I doing wrong?

Guys, if I need to lower -i parameter for just one card in my 6 cards rig, how do I do that leaving others at default intensity?

Since 9.0.4 or 9.0.5 weird things are happening to AM and one of my rigs. Whenever it reboots AM just doesn't see it until minutes later, then reports rig as stopped and doesn't start the miner (manually or automatically) until I restart the AM on my controlling PC. All machines run Win10 with latest Nvidia drivers, I tried reinstalling both but it didn't solve the problem. Another rig works just fine. Has anyone else experienced this?

PS Reboots started happening a week or two ago with BSOD indicating  nvlddmkm.sys pagefile error, no idea how to fix this so far
