Has anyone figured out what PCI slot # (or GPU#) corresponds to the physical slots on the board when using 13 cards? Very tough to troubleshoot when the GPU#'s change when you disconnect a card.
These are my GPU#'s if I insert into slots 1-12 and 14 (ignoring the x16 slot). If I insert into different slots, the GPU#'s will change.
Also, DO NOT use the molex power connections. I was following BBT's video (60 card build, part 1) and he said to insert the molex connections even though I've read that you do not need to if you're using powered risers. In my frustration to fix things, I connected a molex strand into the 3 connections (BBT did this as well) and my strand almost melted within a minute. Luckily i pulled it out in time. So WARNING TO ALL!

Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System
Something is happening with one of my rigs. SMOS doesn't want to recognise it anymore, no matter what I do, rewrite the program, change the pools, this rig starts, I can see it working, just SMOS doesn't see it so i cannot configure the pools and everything. I think I should just get back to using windows, at least the rig worked after I restarted it and I didn't have to try to guess everytime what's wrong. What might be the problem?
Check your Configuration file, Check if your SMOS email is added instead of the default one.
--- @dev I want to ask if a new neoscrypt miner for nividia will be added in SMOS? Since equihash Coins is taking a red hit now, i want to mine some neoscrypt for the time being.
It is, I'm not that stupid though. Sometimes the rig comes back with 5 Gpu's instead of 6 and now I can't see it at all
Which slots do you have the GPUs plugged into? Skip the x16 slot. Just use all the x1 slots.
I'm working on getting my first Ethereum rig up and running and I'm getting pretty low hashrates and hoping that somebody could help me out.
Currently, I have (2) RX 580 8GB MSI Gaming X cards and I'm getting 23.xxMh/s out of each. Obviously, I'd like to be getting closer to 30Mh/s.
Out of the box, they only got about 18 or 19Mh/s, but after modding the BIOS, they're up to the 23Mh/s, but I've spent a lot of time searching and trying different things to try to improve the performance and I'm just stuck.
I downloaded the Polaris editor, clicked the "One Click Timing Patch" button and re-wrote the BIOS the cards. That's what took me from 18 or 19 to 23.
What am I missing for getting them to 29 or 30+?? I am new to modding BIOS and overclocking GPU, so if you wouldn't mind some specific instructions on how to do some of these things, I'd appreciate it. I keep reading about certain settings, but nothing really goes through the steps that you have to follow to make those changes.
Thank you very much and I appreciate any help you can offer!
lower core to 1160, up memory to ~2000, and use blockchain drivers. Should get you ~28. More aggressive memory timings for 30.

Are these still worth it to buy for mining at $200USD for a used card?

Building a 6 x GPU rig for Nicehash mining. I can currently get the RX570 4G and RX580 4G for the same price and the RX580 8G for $60 more per card.
For profitability and future proofing, which card should I get?
