Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System
Hey thanks for this amazing piece of software. I have just one issue I made all the changes you suggest in the bios however only 6 of my 7 gpus are showing up, any advice?
Meaby your motherboard doesnt support 7 gpus ?If motherboard has 7 slots it doenst mean it will support 7 gpus
Is there a way to tell which GPU is in which slot? For instance, lets say I have a 5 card rig and GPU 3 is having issues. If I want to physically pull GPU 3 and try it in another rig, how do I know which card is GPU 3?
In most cases (in my envoroment) it is like that: But in other enviroments i cant tell if this will also be like that !https://tytanick.tinytake.com/media/56742b?filename=1497785983889_18-06-2017-01-39-42.png&&type=attachment&&&_felix_session_id=578d8d28b132825a5d825ecd782473d2&salt=MTcwNDU2N181NjY1ODM1
hello lads. searched through the thread, but couldn't find an answer. i started using smOS recently and rigs are just doing fine. the only thing i do not like is the consumtpion. f.e. on RX 470 rigs. 
6x RX 470 with custom BIOS were using in Win 10 with core 1150/memory 1950 like 860 watts from the wall
with smOS and same settings and PowerStage 1 the rig uses like 960-980 watt from the wall. I started with Powerstage 4 and went to 1 but the consumption didn't change a bit. Yes, i restarted the rig each time.
any ideas how one could further improve the consumption?
thx in advance
This is Linux OS. And linux Operating system is totally different from windows.6x RX 470 with custom BIOS were using in Win 10 with core 1150/memory 1950 like 860 watts from the wall

Basically it is much more stable and much more "out of box" than windows but we dont have undervolting tools.
There are some private tools (which i dont have) but i guess people wont release those.
As now only solution is to make custom bios with added offset voltage.
Then it is working, my rigs with 6x470 are taking about 750-850 watts from wall depending on oc settings.
I know a guy which is adding voltage offset to bioses, if you want contact him let me know by email: admin@simplemining.net
But i guess the prices are from 0.1-0.2 btc per one gpu model bios.
Not a SMOS question, but linux related. I am getting 4 values for gpu fans (4 gpu rig) in dashboard: 33,28,28,40. Made some basic bash script to send fan values to my monitoring box. In is based on /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon?/fan1_input values. The issue is that one of gpu shows some crazy shit in /sys:
while dashboard/claymore show less then 50% for each GPU unit... lmsensors package shows the same. It is using /sys/class kernel subsystem.
GPUs are Sapphire RX 470 Nitro+ with modded bios.
Is there any way to get correct rpm values in shell?
Here you will get a list of fan speed devices in linux:Code:
root@simpleminer:~# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon3/fan1_input
4134
4134

root@simpleminer:~/utils# ls -1 /sys/class/drm/card*/device/hwmon/hwmon*/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card2/device/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card3/device/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card4/device/hwmon/hwmon3/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card5/device/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1
/sys/class/drm/card6/device/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1
root@simpleminer:~/utils# cat /sys/class/drm/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1
153
If you want to convert this value to % then you need to make simple calculation 153/254 which is 0.6
Multiply that by 100 and you have 60% fan speed.
So the max speed for gpus is 254 and you can inset that speed to the system by using command:
as root: echo "254" > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1
But renember that my script will overwrite fan speed in system.
(acculaty it could be 254, 255 or 256, i dont renember what was top value
The only reason why I ask about the GPU is because this motherboard has been tested for 9 gpus it is the Asus Prime Z270-A and I had it working on another linux distro, but really liked what you were doing here so I decided to switch. Any other possible issues you can think of?
Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System
Hey thanks for this amazing piece of software. I have just one issue I made all the changes you suggest in the bios however only 6 of my 7 gpus are showing up, any advice?
Any ideas on why boot is taking 20+ minutes and then once the miner starts everytime it runs one of the commands the entire system freezes for a solid 3-4 minutes. Any thing obvious that I am missing? Running of an SSD after following the provide instruction and I have tried no OC and fresh install. And once it finally finishes running all the commands it can never connect to the pool and I get a Share rejected error.
Edit: Just tested on a USB same issue

So I figured out the issue for some reason it lags hard when I connect 7x GPUs at once. @fullzero any clue on what you think might be causing this?
Not sure if this will help, but its worth a try.
Try installing updates:
go to the ubuntu launcher at the top left and type: u
you should see the ubuntu update app
open it and install all the updates.
Okay I will try that. In the bios I set it to Gen1 just to be sure even though I am using risers. It picks up all 7 and it runs for about 20-30 mins and then I get the same error as UberDaemon

WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart miner
This is with and without OC.

First off thanks for all the help thus far. But I am running in to a problem and would really appreciate it if someone could give me a helping hand.
So initial I had 5x 1070 2 connected via risers and 3 connect directly via the motherboard. I then bought some more risers so I could connect all of them via risers and someone suggested to do a fresh install whenever doing any hardware changes so I did that. However, now regardless of what configuration and the way I setup the gpus either the original with some via the motherboard and some via risers or all of them on risers it is only picking up 4 out of the 5 gpus. Any troubleshooting suggestions I tried look through to see if anyone else had this issue, but couldn't find anything that worked. Also I have tried multiple fresh installs on a few USB drives. Once again thanks in advance!

What motherboard are you using?
I am upgrading to a 6x PCIe mobo next week so I hope to not run into this issue?
I am currently using the Asus Prime Z270-A
1. Will the new cards work if you run 2 old ones with the 2 new ones?
2. Did you follow what is in the OP?

If you are using an ASUS PRIME Z270-A; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios. Also ensure PTP aware OS: is set to 'Not PTP Aware' in the bios. Finally, ensure you 'Clear Secure Boot Keys' in the bios.
Also, I've read that PCIe setting needs to be set to Gen1. It sounds like it could be a simple BIOS issue.
Thanks! That was it guess it must have reset the changes in the bios when I did the fresh install or something.

Thanks for everything and all the help! Quick question for some reason today after I had to restart on boot up rather then going straight to the desktop and starting the miner it goes to a login screen and when I type in the miner1 password it accepts it flashes black and the asks for the password again. Any clue on how to solve this?
Hey thanks for all the help. Just a quick question, I am trying to mine ETH however regardless of what pool I try I keep getting ETH: No pools specified: Specify at least one valid pool in "-epool" parameter. Any suggestions on what I can do? Also the main pool I was trying was ethermine and I was using the updated oneBash.
