Sure!

I have a rig that have 2x rtx 3080 non LHR (different brands, and settings), 1x Radeon VII, 1x rtx 3060 LHR1, and I can mine under win10. I try one miner (Phoenix, Team Black) for all cards, and that try one miner for the nVidia cards and one for the Radeon VII (team red). All try works, but for me one Phoenix is the best. And I mine monero in this rig with CPU., and farming Chia with HDD. Everything works

hi everybody i have a problem and need your help
 
first i noticed that this problem happen only when using a Gigabyte motherboard and others is ok

the problem is when no display is connected to the motherboard and windows and miner is running ok if the power go down and return the system boots and miner begins till it define the gpu in miner console then it pause and doesnot mine till i plug a display in the motherboard it resume mining without any problem
this is too wired because it means i need a display for every gigabyte motherboard
please advise

You need a HDMI dummy plug, like these:
https://www.amazon.com/Display-Emulator-Headless-display-1920x1080/dp/B079K3CQRT

I have Gigabyte mainboard also, and i have the problem like you. The dummy plug is the cheap solution.

I think you use 4GB cards and win10. win10 reverse about 20% VRAM, and the dag file size now 3.49 GB. 3.49+20% = 4.18 GB, so your cards doesnt have enough VRAM. win7 reserve less, and linux a lot less. If you change the operating system you can mine a couple of months before the same error.

Hi, I'm new with XMR-stack, plz help with the config. I want to mine with CPU and join to nanopool, but cant connect to pool with this error:

Fast-connecting to xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14433 pool ...
Pool xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14433 connected. Logging in...
SOCKET ERROR - [xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14433] RECEIVE error: socket closed

My bat file is this:

 * 3. Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.
 * 4. Select the User Rights Assignment folder.

 * 6. In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.
 * 7. In the Local Security Setting – Lock pages in memory dialog box, click Add User or Group.

I think you must go first start with by system admin rights. Or the other failure for the slow mode is the very few installed RAM. I you have 4GB only, you must kill every other programs, and a clean restart. And if you dont update your win10, enable the huge pages.

anyone getting really inconsistent speed? im running 4770k which should be around 270h/s according to claymore. however, i can only hit it very rarely. most of it time, it hovers around 160-200 h/s which is significantly lower than 270...

running on supportxmr

Me too. i7-8700k before hard fork 280-380 h/s, now 180. Very annoying...

update: i try to start the miner again and again, and ohlala, the magic 380 h/s. But  i need restart about 10-20 times :-/

Win10 allocate 20% VRAM, and dont just the 1st card, all of them. If you have no more than 4 card downgrade to win7. Win7 dont handle more than 4 card, but dont allocate VRAM, and you can mine ETH about next year april or may with 3GB card.
