You all dont read the news much do you.  The price was manipulated again by Mt. Gox trustee dumping 8200Btc on the market just like he did the dump about 2 months ago.  The price will recover...watch what happens by 9 or 10 days from today. Wink
102  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ASUS B250 Mining Expert MB - 19 Cards! on: May 11, 2018, 12:43:03 AM
Hi All,

I've seen alot of people mentioning that they have 13 GPU's up on this board, I have a question or two for those people.

 I've had this board for close to 6 months while only running with 7 RX580's, its been rock solid. Today I managed to get my grubby paws on 6 1070 ti's, but, I cannot get the board to see the 13th GPU, it always comes up with the 13th slot saying that there is an error detecting the card in it (it posts but slot B12 always comes up in error state on the post screen). I've tried different risers, usb cable, gen-1 pcie modules, even swapped the cards in that slot, but, it just wont see it.

Is there a specific slot order, or, placement of the amd/nvidia cards that needs to happen for this board to see all 13 gpu's?

At the moment, I have 7 x rx 580's plugged into PCIEX16_1 and slots A01 - A06, the nvidia 1070 ti's are plugged into slots B07 - B12, I'm just wondering if there is a specific slot order for nvidia/amd that needs to be done for it to detect all 13 gpu's.

How have you guys n gals plugged you amd/nvidia gpu's into your boards to get it to detect all 13 gpus?

Any thoughts / tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading thus far.
the order doesn't matter. you can use any PCIe slots, even C13-C19 will work.

I second that.

A P106 is a 1060 with no video outs.  As far as the limitation goes on the m/b im not sure exactly why ASUS ended up with that setup.  Couldve been on purpose or the limitation is created by components on the m/b or there just isnt physically enough space on the m/b for needed components to support 6 more true GPU's.

Stop trolling, you are not helping, there is nothing to do physically with the motherboard.

Where in my quote did I say anything about "doing something with the m/b"?  Now whos the troll?
104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ASUS B250 Mining Expert MB - 19 Cards! on: May 07, 2018, 11:07:58 PM
it looks like almost everyone with this board is running a combination of amd and nvidia cards? any reason not to do all amd or all nvidia? is anyone using simplemining? are all 3 molex/ATX connectors necessary? i have a server psu with a breakout board and i'm still playing with various mobo/cpu/card combinations trying to find the ideal one. having a lot of issues with the asrock h81 pro btc 2.0 and simplemining :/

I'm running on 2 13 gpu nvidia rigs using this mobo without any problems....only problem i have is the heat Smiley  I find it easier to not mix amd and nvidia to be honest with you..

i have some experience with about other motherboards but i always prefer to keep the gpus the same brand/style. evga 1060, pny 1080ti, msi 580. it makes it not only easier for bookkeeping for troubleshooting as well. i was just wondering why so many people were mixing gpus with this thing? i just setup this board about 10 minutes ago with 6 pny 1060 6gb, i'm about to go try to add 6 more.

have you tried getting more than 13 gpus on this thing?

edit: got 12 running fine, gonna try to do 16 on monday
For the millionth and one time in this thread...13 GPUs will work just fine but #14 - #19 has to be a P series card. IE: P106-100.

And there is no need to keep with the same brand or model series.  The board doesnt care when it comes to using #1 - #13 cards.  Troubleshooting is the same no matter what brand or series card used.
what's special about the P106-100 that this board prefers them? i've read a lot of thread and seen the example photos but i don't know how the P106 is markedly different from the gtx1060

As long as the air outside is cooler than the GPUs they will still cool. Exhaust fan and source of air and you will be good. Filtered source is even better.

What comment is that? it will always be cooler outside, if not then you don't need an exhaust at all and that is partly if you have an air conditioner, ambient temperature is ambient temperature, outside air will always be cooler or equal inside air, but never hotter maybe you think even without air conditioner inside your house is cooler than outside if no computer is powered, nothing is powered, you wrong, inside your house is = air ambient temperature, the feeling is because the sun is not having direct contact to your skin or the heat the sun produces is being absorbed by the roof tiles, but concerning air, is all the same if nothing is working towards a change, for example if you have heating or cold coming out from things.

You trolls need to learn a lot yet about physics and alteration.

"outside air will always be cooler or equal inside air, but never hotter"...Never heard of radiant heat? Explain to me then why an attic is hotter than outside ambient temp when not vented?

106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ASIC + Air Conditioning = Safe? on: May 07, 2018, 02:55:06 AM
I think air conditioning can't solve your problem. It matters the circulation of the air so you should add two fans. One of them should add the air into the room with rigs and the other one to take the air out. On the first one that brings the air into your room you should put some net to protect from insects. There is no need to be worried about the moisture because your rigs will dry it out.
What are you smoking?  No need to be worried about moisture? Rigs will dry out?  You have no idea what you are talking about.  What exactly is it that you think an a/c unit does? It has two fans.  One blows supply air across a cold evaporator coil and the second one sucks air in and blows it across the condenser coil to push heat from the refrigerant to the atmosphere.  That heat was removed from the room. 

The only problem lies in an a/c unit that is not big enough to keep up with the heat load of the miners.  Then theres the power costs of the a/c to take into account.

I am planning to buy asus B250 mining expert. I will be running 13 cards in the beginning as per

https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1034921

Asus supports 11*amd + 2 Nvidia

however, I have seen a few comments that it can run 13 AMDs as well.

Is there anybody who is actually successfully running 13 amds only without nvidia or any other card? If so, can you please advise the cards that you are using.

we are planning to buy 13x Sapphire Pulse RX580, if anybody has experience with these, please let us know.
My Rig#2 is running 13 Nvidia cards.  (2) 1080 (4) 1060 and (7) 1050 TI   Asus B250 m/b Win 10 pro.  Stable as a rock.  Just basic Windows tweaks.

If you have good circuit breakers installed then you won't have any issue with yours rigs. They fill protect you from any power surges.

Off topic: Since you mentioned you are living in a tropical country, you need to also worry about cooling your rigs too. What setup were you thinking to use for it?
Incorrect.  A circuit breaker only protects from over current.  It is an overcurrent device. Not an overvoltage device.

The OP shut it down and I added MORE gpu's,  One of us screwed up...and it aint me. Wink
111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: An blackout can kill a mining rig??? on: May 03, 2018, 04:12:46 AM
Use only power surge protection when your outlet voltage is not stable to reduce the overflow voltage. So, surge protection could help  reduce the risk of any parts of your miner.

however, if your miner is always shutdown every time your area is blackout without shutting it down your miner can  damage unless if you are using other bootable OS like ethOS or smOS these OS that I know it's safe for blackouts Also, I suggest you if you are using h110 btc pro you can set the bios to auto power on everytime your miner shutoff.
You do NOT need a surge protector for an "outlet voltage that is not stable".  The ATX power supply will handle well over 240ac input.  Read the label on it. Wink   It already has surge protection built in.  The computer which actually runs on 12vdc and less (CPU and memory is less) is isolated from the incoming 120vac (or even 240vac overseas) by design since there are a few stages that are isolated via transformers within power supply during the conversion from ac to dc in the power supply.  So essentially it would take lightning to jump the electronic gaps within the power supply (Transformers, diodes, transistors, mosfets, etc.) The power company is not going to jump those gaps UNLESS some moron some how managed to get a cross country power line connected to your house grid! Which is not likely to ever happen.
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: An blackout can kill a mining rig??? on: May 01, 2018, 03:39:25 AM
All depends on the fault that caused the power outage.  Its quite possible the power (voltage) goes up during a serious tropical storm because of substation and other types of more local to you faults in the power grid.  Ive seen a U.S. home have 290v when it shouldve been around 240v.  This causes both 120v legs to be around 145v+ which pops all the lights (incandescent at the time) and took out the tv and some small appliances.  This was caused by a drunk driver hitting a power poll down the street which had the local block transformer on it.  The power supplies (ATX) for computers are made to handle substantial power spikes.  In fact most all though plugged into 120v will run just fine up to and over 240v. The power supply will make up for substantial lower voltage for awhile also. The specs are labeled on each ATX power supply to show what they can handle.  The sudden loss of power will not hurt your system. Might screw up windows o/s but can be recovered from.  A UPS big enough to power everything during an outage would cost a fortune!  Would be totally useless if the internet was down which is likely if the power is down because of a storm.

All bets are off when it comes to lightning which is a "surge".  Lightning takes ALL paths of resistance and does whatever it wants. It takes 10,000v to jump a half an inch air gap.  Lightning is going between the sky and the ground...you do that math! Wink

https://www.coindesk.com/testing-10k-bitcoin-price-hits-4-week-high-altcoins-shine/

Bitcoin has surged up to nearly 9000 usd. Many are rooting for a run to 10k at this point. The whole market is up because of Bitcoin's success. There still has not been any correction as many expected. Only time will tell just which way Bitcoin will be going in the upcoming week. At the rate it is going at now, the market may very well see bullish trends soon.

Good Luck Traders,
The Elysian Team
I have my doubts that is going to happen there is a very strong resistance at $9000, which means that many of the traders do not really believe that we can surpass the price and that is why they are selling and if reaching $9000 seems hard $10,000 is going to be an even greater psychological barrier, but I hope that you are right and that we see that price soon.
Well the "9k seems hard" theory is out the window since BTC is at $9192 right now. Tongue
114  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Approaches 9k! on: April 22, 2018, 08:04:42 PM
Not so fast. So far all today's attempts to break $9k have failed. $10k may still be far away.

Where have you been? Go back and read my post #37.  We already broke 9k mark.

116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU miners at apartment complex on: April 22, 2018, 09:21:50 AM
What country are you in? How is your apartment wired as far circuits in say the living room (common U.S. practices are one maybe 2 different branch circuits in a livingroom and it all depends on when the place was built as to what size they are 15a/20a,  15a being the most common).

Dont let the numbers fool you.  Mining rigs are CONTINOUS DUTY and since that is so you will have to derate your branch circuits that they powered by.  The derating factor is 80%.  So a 15a circuit is ONLY good for 12a of continous duty! That is only 1440w at 120v and the includes ANYTHING that is powered on the same branch circuit also.

How do you plan on getting rid of the heat in your apartment during the summer? 

117  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Approaches 9k! on: April 22, 2018, 09:11:40 AM
And it all (spike in prices) "mysteriously" went up right after the deadline for U.S. Citizens to file their Federal tax returns passed. Hmmmmmm    Its gonna keep going up until that one clown trustee dumps more millions from the remnants of Mt. Gox onto the market.
118  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Approaches 9k! on: April 22, 2018, 05:21:56 AM
but in my opinion, bitcoin will approach $ 9000 in early May. because I see today there are still many members who panic, and that will inhibit the rise of bitcoin. because the bull market is a free market from sellers panic.

Huh BTC busted 9k 4/21/18 0730utc...yer a lil late. Wink
119  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could bitcoin reach 100.000$ ? on: April 21, 2018, 07:25:07 PM
Early days of bitcoin holders are only speculating and guessing if it is possible for bitcoin to reach even $1,000. But after several years, did bitcoin hit $1,000? Yes it did and the highest price it reached was $20,000 but it went down after reaching that ATH.

Very true BUT it didnt rise to that level in 3 quarters.  So 100k isnt realistic for this year.  25-30k is quite realistic.

for @remauto1187ma

No offense, I am correcting your quote because there is missing code

Code:
[quote author=whitrzac link=topic=3329560.msg35082370#msg35082370 date=1524139426]

if you want to quote there a few codes that you need to pay attention:

Code:
[quote author= #value link=topic=#value #msg date=#value]

And

Code:
[/quote] 

I think you have me confused with someone that cares.  Do shiny objects mess with you too?  I figured most were intelligent to look up at the other guys post to see what it all was about...but I guess I was wrong...Atleast in your case.
