Title: [Eth-NOVA]: Fully Automated OC/PL/P-state/Mining/Monitoring for Windows
Post by: n4ru on July 07, 2017, 05:54:30 AM

Eth-NOVA
Current release: v0.1.1

Introduction

Eth-NOVA is an absurdly simple all-in-one mining application tailored toward Windows setups. It will overclock your GPUs, set your power limit, fix P-state, launch your miner, and monitor your mining rig for issues. It is designed to be an AIO application to get started with mining on a Windows bmining rig.

Features

  • Overclocking on launch.
  • Power limit setting on launch.
  • P-state setting on launch.
  • Monitoring GPU utilization, rebooting miner/machine on hang/error.
  • Autostart mining.

Download

Pre-compiled binaries are found here (https://github.com/n4ru/Eth-NOVA/releases).
Full source code found here (https://github.com/n4ru/Eth-NOVA)

Installaton / Configuration

The default mining configuration applies no overclock or p-state changes and sets the power limit to 120W.

Modify the configuration file to your liking. At the very minimum, the path should be modified with your wallet information.

Adding this application to your startup is recommended. If you do so, make sure it is ran as administrator (along with EVERY executable in the binary folder!) and is launched from its own directory! Turning off UAC is also necessary to ensure application launches run uninterrupted.

Configuration is as follows:

  • theshold: Threshold in utilization percent to consider a GPU idle.
  • kill: Command to kill your mining process. Modify this if you are not using ethminer!
  • path: Path to the miner that should be launched. Modify this!
  • reboot: The command that is executed when a GPU is idle despite miner restart.
  • restartApp: Idle time in cycles (roughly seconds) until the miner process is killed and restarted.
  • rebootRig: Idle time in cycles (roughly seconds) until the entire machine is rebooted.
  • core: Core overclock amount in MHz.
  • mem: Memory overclock amount in MHz. This should be HALF of what is shown in Afterburner!
  • power: Power Limit in Watts (NOT percentage!).

If you do not trust the packaged binaries, you can replace them with their original sources, as detailed below.

Updated to v.0.1.1 to fix an issue with the v0.1 pre-compiled binary.

Good work. I try it. more stability now.
can you make monitoring by RIG like Claymore monitor?

Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "by rig"? This will work with any mining application as long as you configure it to launch that miner.

Currently in the process of rewriting all the binaries in pure node and implementing profit-switching!
