My balance has not updated in a few days.... Not sure what's going on.

I see the eth numbers moving around but my auto exchange balance has not moved in some time. Haven't had a credit to auto exchange wallet since the 19th. Usually there are tons of small credits a day.

Nice! -mi 2 works great and faster than -ethi 2 claymore

Does it not respect the -ethi argument? I run 2 on my main pc so i can barely tell it is running (Claymore). I can "feel" Phoenix running in the back ground at the same setting.

I like turtles.

Same questions as above.. Although i find MPH more profitable than Zpool .. using multipoolminer

Shameless bump 

I am running 6x1060 rigs with the algorithms Equihash,Lyra2RE2,Lyra2z and only Mining Pool Hub. My thought process behind removing the other pools was that i only saw them being used infrequently, so i thought i would have small amounts of BTC stuck there for long periods of time. But i was running less GPUS at that time. Also, everyone was telling me that zpool was stealing 20%..

Should i try adding another pool or algorithm? If so which ones do you suggest?

Thank you for your time

Word. Been waiting on a part to get 6 GPUs going on this rig for a 6 days.. now this lol :/

I ordered another.. but if i could snap that extra piece off could i use it while i wait? It is also missing a cap :/

I will be doing some upgrades to my rigs on Tues. Figure the down time might be a good time to try out Linux.

Currently i run Windows and multipoolminer on all of them using -algorithm equihash,lyra2re2,lyra2z. I am using Mining Pool Hub as my only pool. Is there any way this can be replicated on Linux?  

Def GPU. You cant sell an ASIC when it becomes unprofitable to run. Check out mining hub pool and multi pool miner.

What is -switchingprevention in multi pool miner? It is not explained in the documentation.

In multipool miner i have limited the algos to ethash,equihash,lyra2z,lyra2re2,siaclaymore. I also removed all but the fastest benched miners for each from the miners folder. This has removed the profitability estimate from the bottom of the power shell window. It shows up when i first run the batch file.. then disappears. Any ideas?

Why would i need more power for 2 1060s?

And can we please not talk about risers and psus and all that ... even in this thread where it was specifically asked NOT to talk about it there are differing opinions. I made my choice!

Not sure... I've never wanted to run it that slow for long enough to find out! heh. XMR algo kills the driver instantly even at stock :/

Yes Hynix does sick for over clock. A few are Micron that are mostly stable at 500.. so i just run them all at 400 . I am a very unlucky guy with pretty much everything i buy. I have only ever gotten one card with Samsung and even that cant go over 700.. or even stay at 700 reliably. heh

Power limits ...

Every so often (mostly 1 maybe 2 times a week) when i go check on the rig we are talking about, one card will be down. Not always the same card. When i was still using afterburner it was connection lost to driver. I have to restart the driver with Nvidia inspector (I use this to OC now) or reboot to get it back. It's a real pain in the butt since when it does happen.. it almost ALWAYS happens right after i fall asleep! lol. So i miss 8 hours of mining on one card when it happens.

Pretty modest OC.. core +100 Mem +400 (Most cards have Hynix). I had the power at 80 but have been trying it and 86.. Seemed to last a few days longer but i just check and a card has been down for a few hours. Who knows!

Any ideas? OC, Bum risers, USB Cables? I cant be certain but i think it mostly happens when multipool miner switches algos.

Heh

Im gonna rewire it anyways

TX750M comes with

1 x ATX (motherboard)
1 x EPS (CPU)
1 x floppy connector (useless)
7 x molex (on 2 rails)
4 x PCIe (on 2 rails)
8 x SATA (on 2 rails)

400W EVGA has:

2 x PCIe
2 x molex

TX750M will be the "master" PSU and the EVGA the "slave" PSU. All the basic (non GPU/riser) components will be hooked up to the master:

1060's are powered by a single 6-pin connector. They draw about 61W along the PCIe and 60W along the riser (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-pascal,4679-6.html). This means im capable of powering 2 cards or 2 risers from a single (8-pin) PCIe power connector (max 150W per 8-pin PCIe).

So using the TX750M, split PCIe #1 to power card #1 and #2. Split PCIe #2 to power riser #1 and #2.

Then split PCIe #3 to power card #3 and #4. Split PCIe #4 to power riser #3 and #4.

So all total, mobo/CPU/SSD, 4 cards and their corresponding risers are powered via the TX750M. At full power, the cards will draw 4 x 121W, plus the other components (~85W ish) = 570W. Fantastic, because a PSU runs optimally at 80% load (750W * 0.80 = 600W) which you are very close to.

Now that leaves the EVGA 400W.

Using the EVGA 400W,  split PCIe #1 to power card #5 and #6. You then split PCIe #2 to power riser #5 and #6.

So all total, that PSU is drawing 2 x 121W = 242W.

Good to go?

I don't think it is. It is beyond frustrating lol. Every single person you ask, every single video you watch, every single forum post you read, everybody says something different.

Say i had a few 1060 rigs set up similarly. One example .. 6 GPUS and 2 power supplys. One PSU is a Corsair TX750M (2017 version) and the other is a 400w EVGA I had laying around. Yes i am planning on replacing it. I pay the equivalent of 6 cents USD per k/h so i haven't really cared.

Corsair TX750M is powering the MB/CPU/HDD

Corsair TX750M has 2 PCIE cables with a total of 4 6/8 pins - Each lead powering 2 cards

Corsair TX750M has 2 molex leads - Each lead powering 2 molex risers

400w has 1 PCIE cable with a total of 2 6/8 pins - Powering 2 cards

400w has 1 molex lead - powering 2 molex risers

Now, at the time pretty much everything most of what i read and every person i asked said this was ok. The more i read now, the more paranoid i get that i'm gonna burn down my apartment when i'm not here. So, is it safe, or not? I mean i have seem people powering 6 1060 with one 750w. Using 2 SATA (using SATA to 6pin adapters) risers per chain!

If not, since i am buying a new PSU to replace the EVGA, what would be the ideal way to do this without spending a lot? ELI5 even. lol

P.S. I don't want to get into powering the GPU risers with the same PSU as the motherboard or not. Been there done that every body has a different opinion. I made my choice.

Use LTC ETH or even BCH for frequent withdraws .. then send to an exchange when you have saved up a bunch. BTC isn't worth it (even at .0005) unless you keep your coins on the site for a looooong time.

Alright, Thanks.
