try undervolting the memory. the stock setting is 1 volt and I think my Samsungs run at 700mv and the microns at 750mv. You should notice a decent temp drop and save on some power usage.

Added HiveOS Custom miner package and instructions

It looks like your post was moved to the correct section. If you are still interested in mining and don't have any problems mining alt coins.

#1 lookup your GPU at https://whattomine.com/gpus and see what the most profitable coin to mine is.


You did not say how much RAM, what CPU and Motherboard you purchased.

For RAM you need a minimum of 4GB but I recommend 8GB.
For CPU the only number that really matters for GPU mining is the number of PCIe lanes.
For Motherboard the more PCIe slots the better.

I have never mined on macOS so cant answer that part but Linux VS Windows, Linux wins every time even if it is HiveOS. Linux consumes less power and Most GPU will perform better. There is the exceptions to the rule like the first generation 3060.

This part is completely my opinion but mining rig frames are a waste of money specially if you plan on having a decent number of cards. Just get a good old wire frame shelf and some zip ties. Mining rig frames are 100s of dollars, Amazon basic wire shelf is $39, assorted pack of zip ties $6.

I put pads, heatsink and fan on the back and it dropped the temps by 10c

definitely possible but you have wonder if they are worth the investment. There are a lot of cards more efficient these days.

Used mining motherboards are definitely the way to go in this market.

you would probably get more replies if this was in the alt coin mining section. you didn't say what OS you are using so I am going to assume windows based on the 1200 memory OC. Have you tried putting pads between the backplate and the PCB? Then stick a heat sink and fan on the backplate.

here is some images of what others have done.

Sorry my account is not old enough to use image tags

Some registers will hold your domain for a period of time after it expires you can normally contact them about getting it back. However they normally charge you an arm and a leg.

I would go with the 1080ti. Post ETH i think the 1080ti will be the more profitable card. Using todays numbers and in a world without ETH the Vega will make $1.25 a day but the 1080ti will make $1.45. Then you add in these are used cards and buying used Vegas is risky, you never know what kinda shape that HBM2 memory is going to be in. The 1080ti however are rock solid and durable cards you can mistreat them and they will keep on ticking.

Since you say if you take it out and put it back in it works it might be slipping out of the slot for some reason. It can happen on the riser with those cheap locks if they are not fully locked in or sometimes the locking mechanism breaks. but defiantly sounds like a riser problem.

At the moment Raptoreum is the most profitable CPU coin to mine. And since we are on the topic of Raptoreum I am going to do my shameless plug of my miner

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5378643.0 <-- lower fee then any other Raptoreum miner out there.




I know you asked Swogerino this but. You may have some luck solo mining Raptoreum the network hashrate and difficulty has come down from the highs of December. But it is my opinion that pool mining is always better. I view solo mining as gambling and i am more about the guaranteed daily payout.

I think these days that chart is mostly irrelevant. It is listing Core temps and most GPU algorithms these days are memory hard and memory temps really depends on memory type. the best source for safe temps is to read the datasheet for whatever memory manufacture / type your GPU is utilizing. But 90% of the time when a GPU fails its normally a capacitor or mosfet and is an easy fix. When im looking to buy broken GPUs the lists are almost always the lower end brands like Zotac because they use cheap capacitors and mosfets to hit there price target. The cheaper parts just don't hold up against the 24/7 usage.

First since you asked for a terminal miner I am going to do a shameless plug of my Raptorium miner.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5378643.0

Running a cpu miner in a virtual machine is really not worth it even if you spin up multiple. In all cases you will see a better hashrate from running it on the Host machine because you loose hashrate from not being able to utilize CPU optimizations and from the emulation process. As for memory having more memory does not affect the hashrate but having faster memory will give you a tiny boost on Raptorium and no increase on Monero. What most CPU mining algorithms really love is a large L3 cache size. That is the primary reason AMD processors tend to do better then Intel.

you said computer hardware so I am assuming it is GPU mining. for insurance you don't tell them it is for mining you tell them computer hardware. Most businesses in the financial sector will turn you away because of mining.

if I was talking about cloud mining I would of said cloud mining. In what part of my statement did I use the word scam? Maybe you should think before you reply to a post.

Those solo mining videos are click bate. In every case you will make more from pool mining. I bet he doesn't mention how much hashing power he has or show results over a large period.

I have a 12 card rig running with the exact configuration.

Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G3930 @ 2.90GHz
4gb micron memory
120gb sata

so it does work. These are my bios settings

Disable INTEL VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY
Disable Vt-d
Disable GPU-MULTIMONITOR
Enable Restore on AC/Power Loss
Disable Serial port
Disable Parallel port
Enable Above 4g Decoding
Disable onboard audio
PCI-E Subsystem set to x8/x4/x4
PCI-E Generation set to GEN2

If none of that fixes the problem try putting the card in another slot. that slot might be bad.

Yes the Ghostrider hashrate fluctuates because it does algorithm switching and some of the algorithms are more CPU intensive. The last time I did the numbers it came out to be more profitable than mining RandomX. Quite a bit of people use the miner but I'm not sure if they are members of this forum or if they came from discord. Putting out a new miner these days is tough all you can do is put it out there, be as transparent as possible, and wait. For the first few weeks no one used it at all and now it starting to get foot traffic.

ASRock H110 Pro is what is on most of my rigs. I have never had problems with one but they are super hard to find these days. My favorite is the rebtech mining board. you can hang them like a GPU they come with CPU, RAM and they have the built in riser adapter.

Make sure you are downloading it from the official source because line 1136 in util.c is a case statement and the function has nothing to do with sockets.
