Title: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: philipma1957 on July 02, 2017, 06:14:10 PM The gear mind you
I use: a higher end usb stick a higher end cpu a z270 mobo which I have tested up to 3 cards 1x lexar 3.1 usb stick 64gb $24.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012PKT9AO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00? 1x i5 7500t cpu $205.99 https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57500T-Generation-i5-7500T-Processor/dp/B01MS73QK5/ref=sr_1_1?

I suggest not using those at the current prices Mind you all there are more then 30 photos so be patient. fullsize here: https://i.imgur.com/K6Dp3Lf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dJecbaH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YkElNZs.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Aua53H1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/to00PZ0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/43JaVw8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jlapFr7.jpg First off this should be fun so eat your favorite meal then take a walk around the block and start working. HERE is on of my favorite meals. Home made https://i.imgur.com/80d07Dv.jpg get a better usb 3 stick this one is still pretty cheap and works very well https://i.imgur.com/uoYuD7A.jpg put it in a windows pc https://i.imgur.com/FvNZSRs.jpg go to google and download the 0017 image. https://i.imgur.com/R1xi9jd.jpg don't worry when you see this https://i.imgur.com/zMWpC7P.jpg just click https://i.imgur.com/hxfKxW7.jpg this is start of down load it is big over 5gb and is pretty slow https://i.imgur.com/FObvBpN.jpg Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: TheYankeesWin! on July 02, 2017, 06:41:44 PM Looks very simple ;D
Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: philipma1957 on July 02, 2017, 06:45:37 PM it is easy in fact you can make 5 or six sticks at a time once you have a good one.
so the google download finishes it is long 5gb + https://i.imgur.com/oasWkTE.jpg start to extract it https://i.imgur.com/dcwNAys.jpg extraction is long a minute or more https://i.imgur.com/1gRDplu.jpg so it extracts you open hdd raw copy pick raw img as source https://i.imgur.com/XiEzk5l.jpg pick you usb stick as target https://i.imgur.com/yBqeYBv.jpg and start to copy https://i.imgur.com/vQUvsrC.jpg make sure your source and target are correct!! https://i.imgur.com/t7oSwhR.jpg stick is pretty fast 40-50mb https://i.imgur.com/o4KUcnI.jpg Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: judypug1956 on July 02, 2017, 09:39:44 PM this is my alternate account. I don't want to double post
20% copied https://i.imgur.com/ItGdoDK.jpg 100% copied note it is around 16gb on a 64gb stick which means tons of head room https://i.imgur.com/C0A01v7.jpg Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: philipma1957 on July 02, 2017, 09:49:04 PM in my case the new files are now on drive e
https://i.imgur.com/Z3yeMN9.jpg this is the oneBash that needs to be edited https://i.imgur.com/sBMwAaN.jpg I use windows 10 on my development pc it is a small sized lenovo. I click word pad https://i.imgur.com/VASW62h.jpg after that I click ok https://i.imgur.com/NIfMnkn.jpg and boom I am in. note it is set to nice I want zec https://i.imgur.com/tAV60G3.jpg I type in ZEC https://i.imgur.com/NnZ1QZW.jpg I set fan speed to 80 a bump from 75 https://i.imgur.com/qSRlweZ.jpg I do a slight overclock on core and a slight under clock on ram. note zec likes this other coins do not like this. first step is to say yes to individual clocks https://i.imgur.com/WPoSzXJ.jpg Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: judypug1956 on July 02, 2017, 10:11:27 PM me again on secondary account.
200 core with 10 ram https://i.imgur.com/FqRIuAT.jpg yes to individual power level I did 105 https://i.imgur.com/GptpsLF.jpg see 105 but only for 3 cards https://i.imgur.com/V4hUK4Z.jpg Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: philipma1957 on July 02, 2017, 10:13:49 PM At this point I put in my zec mining settings.
they are set to nicehash and to my nicehash btc address as nicehash auto-converts to btc I also put in a worker name. unless you want to mine for me use your own worker name and btc address also note I only changed zec and left all other coins set to original settings. So as not to make a mistake. https://i.imgur.com/q76Z9sR.jpg edit is done so click to save changes https://i.imgur.com/4KnePjh.jpg walk over to the pc place new stick in a handy spot not in the usb slots. why is that phil. here is why you need to do settings on the mobo https://i.imgur.com/33pshJ9.jpg so boot your rig with no OS and it will go to mobo. this mobo needs a power setting change a usb setting change power first https://i.imgur.com/i1VDakI.jpg you want the machine to boot after a black out so you need to change this to https://i.imgur.com/jjsrHtA.jpg this . and machine will boot after a black out https://i.imgur.com/dVtkWVM.jpg Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: judypug1956 on July 03, 2017, 12:52:23 AM Next set mobo to read usb sticks

https://i.imgur.com/tVwjKaz.jpg do not forget the gpus ::) notice the monitor is in the gpu which is in first 16x slot also there are lots of slot for risers. and expansion https://i.imgur.com/NSmmGS1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lLQQBfp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Z1ynx3i.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3ocoQYc.jpg wait a while for this to show https://i.imgur.com/6Dh1VDO.jpg Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: judypug1956 on July 03, 2017, 01:23:27 AM Finishing with secondary account please fell free to ask questions about the build.
Takes about 2 minutes after first boot to get here https://i.imgur.com/6LNqUZo.jpg this pops up next https://i.imgur.com/yXFzT5e.jpg and the money shot https://i.imgur.com/PoDGRSM.jpg Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: martyroz on July 03, 2017, 01:32:49 AM You're a legend. Thanks heaps, I will be trying this as soon as I can get my hands on those USB sticks.
Is there any difference between using on-board video and GPU0 for monitor out? (for motherboards that have it) would on-board use more total power? does GPU0 mine the same either way? Also would this work on any USB 3.0 stick? those lexar are not sold in my country and those who list them are out of stock. eg: http://www.budgetpc.com.au/computer-hardware/storage-devices/usb-flash-drives/64gb-dtmicro-usb-3-1-3-0-type-a-metal-ultra-compact-flash-drive 100MB/s read 15MB/s write Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: philipma1957 on July 03, 2017, 01:49:05 AM You're a legend.

I have an 8 port dvi switcher so all my pc's are attached to the first gpu in slot 1. I do not care if I lose hash but if you look at my photos the hash rate is 402 and 402. been running for hours I will check in 1 minute. one is now 399 the other 407 I assume that the lower one is running the monitor the stick you linked is very slow 100 read speed but 15 write speed. see if this will come to you quickly http://www.budgetpc.com.au/sandisk-ultra-usb3-0-32gb-flash-drive or get this case and put in an ssd http://www.budgetpc.com.au/2569s3-sv-orico-sata-3-0-to-usb-3-0-ssd-hdd-enclosure http://www.budgetpc.com.au/kingston-ssdnow-a400-120gb-2-5-ssd http://www.budgetpc.com.au/wd-green-ssd-wds120g1g0a-120gb-sataiii-ssd http://www.budgetpc.com.au/sandisk-sdssda-120g-q25-ssd-plus-120gb-2-5-sata-iii-ssd here are good sticks that worked for me that are not lexar these are good https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Flash-Drive-SDCZ80-032G-GAM46/dp/B00KT7DXIU/ref=sr_1_3?https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Flash-Drive-SDCZ80-032G-GAM46/dp/B00KT7DOSE/ref=sr_1_3? https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-Transfer-Speeds-s-SDCZ48-032G-UAM46/dp/B00KYK2AKO/ref=sr_1_2?https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-Transfer-Speeds-s-SDCZ48-032G-UAM46/dp/B00KYK2ABI/ref=sr_1_2? and this ssd in this case https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-120GB-SDSSDA-120G-G26-Newest-Version/dp/B01F9G414U/ref=sr_1_1? https://www.amazon.com/Anker-inch-External-Enclosure-Case/dp/B00H98AXOE/ref=sr_1_6? Title: Re: here is a thread for newbies to setup a nvoc 0017 rig to mine zec Post by: QuintLeo on July 03, 2017, 05:56:29 AM I've got a few systems running on Sandisk Ultra USB sticks - specifically including the 32GB Phil linked, but mostly on the 128GB version of that one (Walmart had them on sale a while back and I stocked up).
Plenty fast for a mining system, though not as fast as a good HD and nowhere near as fast as a SSD. For a pure mining system, a low-wattage Celeron or G-series Pentium should be plenty.

I read somewhere that Skein doesn't like the low end processors. Is that true?

I read somewhere that Skein doesn't like the low end processors. Is that true? Well here is the deal. I did a very basic newbie thread so I did not explain some choices in parts. My go to cpu is this one the i5 6400t used on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i5-6400T-Quad-Core-2-20GHz-1MB-6MB-Socket-1151-Skylake-S-CPU-SR2L1-/152607562406? this one is 130 I wait for an ebucks promo of 8% or 10% off and buy them for about 117 usd if lucky as low as 108 after ebucks. They work fine in z170 or z270 mobos. I feel that this is a better choice for me and I will run them on xmr coins this allows me to earn about 75 cents a day extra. I will up date this thread with the xmr cpu mining info in the next few days. I think a big farm with 30 or 4 rigs may not wan the better cpu but a guy like me with 4-8 rigs in my garage should look into used i5 6400t cpus. the t means it is a power saver. so even if you don't mine cpu coins you still save some coin in power.

I read somewhere that Skein doesn't like the low end processors. Is that true? Not that I've noticed, but there are some non-mining stuff that wants more CPU - and if you get an efficient CPU you can mine XMR on it like Phil says and possibly pay for the "upgrade" over a bottom-end CPU over time. I plan on getting my newest rig (dual 1080ti on my Intel G4600/Gigabyte Z270-HD3 board "experiment", VERY similar to Phil's MB in this build) up and running today, will see how it compares. |
