1021  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Need help, 2 reference rx 480's hashing low..... on: January 07, 2018, 02:09:23 AM



Stock Bios would be 22-24 Mh/s on Ethash try to revert it back to stock and check if it reached this, if yes, you have a bad Bios mod

check your mem types to identify proper clocks to be configured. check also your OC settings

yep flashed them back and forth a few times.

Polaris 1.6 checks the memory for you and flashes appropriately.

no OC just adjusted fan settings

Same hashrate when flashing back to Stock Bios? try overclocking them what hash rate could reach when modded and stock, did you try installing these two GPU's separately or solely on the CPU? or try 1 GPU on PCI-e x16 slot without risers. this is to isolate things out
1022  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Need help, 2 reference rx 480's hashing low..... on: January 07, 2018, 01:12:40 AM
Ive personally seen both cards hash at 29.5 but ones doing 16 and the others doing 18.... forget about dual mining one of the cards drops to like 8....

temps are in the low to mid 60s
currently Bios modded with polaris 1.6 one click settings, i have tried 2 from anoraktech though....
running smos, but does the same on windows...
tried them on a test bench. separately 1 does 29.5. The other one is at like 18 on eth only, and 8-12 dual mining ETH and DCR
switched out risers and cables
tried all the amd drivers since the blockchain version
tried compute mode on and off

asrock h110 mobo
8gb ram
8 card rig all rx 480
1000w evga g3, 1000w corsair hx1000
g4400 cpu

Im at the end of my rope with these 2 cards.... any help appreciated.... Grin

I have a system with 2x MSI Armor RX 570 8GB 2x XFX RX 580 8GB and one ASUS DUAL RX 580 8GB. Originally I had the ASUS card on a riser and I thought that's what the issue was, then I had the card directly on the motherboard and the crashing would still occur The error would be watchdog error during opencl call. All of the other cards would continue to mine but the ASUS card would just stop. I have tried Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode, blockchain drivers and regular gaming drivers, switching PCIE slots, disabling fast boot in windows, returning vbios to its original form, disabled ULPS, all clocks are stock, I have tried reducing the clock and increasing and reducing/ increaing power limit also. The card stopped working when I added the 2 XFX RX 580's to my system, although it still works if I take the two new XFX cards out of my system.

which is true? Huh does still works in mining if you take out the 2 XFX RX 580's to your system?





1024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: what is better/best rig on: January 06, 2018, 02:46:20 PM
looking at getting into some gpu rigs.

what would be best to do. buy the 1080ti cards a little at a time or get something cheaper but more of?


If you want faster ROI, then get some cheaper but more of like 1070's, AMD RX570, 580's

Quote
is the 1080ti the fastest/best?

Depends on a certain algo, this beast is best in Zec, but not much in other algo's, Nvidias are good or better for more algo's and don't need Bios modifications compared to AMD's however the pricing is lower.

This rig has been real good for months on 8 - cards. I add a 9th and it doesn't like it. And no power shortage as you can see. I been using these risers for months and have checked them. I have extra's. I tried an used a m.2 adapter board and it does the same as described in the beginning of this thread. I am using a 4 in 1 pcie riser adapter board 1X to 4X USB 3.0 for the 8th card and tried to add the 9th card there but same old same.

Please state your hardware, PSU rating, GPUs, Risers, Mboards, ensure that your PSU could handle the 9th GPU card, I have a feeling a power shortage when adding up the 9th card. check also your risers.


not quite sure if it makes sense, however there are post pertaining to memory shortage in terms with more GPU setups, try to add Mem just in case, OS is not an issue here as you can't get to boot it up in 9th card.

Assuming you're a technical guy who knows how to build/assemble at least a home Computer desktop, I will recommend GPU mining for you. build a rig with decent motherboards with more PCI-e slots and high rated PSU, and a premium GPU cards, AMD Rx 570,580 or vegas series and NVIDIA Gtx 1060,1070,1080 series. you should now at least know how far the 2k$ could go, for profitability on this day. check online calculators such as below.

1027  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETH mining now there are considerable benefits? on: January 06, 2018, 07:03:30 AM
I do not know now there is no income to start, because of limited equipment, do not know whether to start now? 8 GTX1060!

Of course, time to start now, it still has a nice profits for mining, no need for a large equipment, start small and from there grow your farm. 8 gtx 1060 can barely earn as much as 23bucks in Eth and approx 27$ in Zcl.

1030  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Stepping stone to a bigger rig (advice needed) on: January 06, 2018, 12:09:28 AM
Hey all,

I've been lurking around for a bit studying up and putting together a 2k budget for my first foray into mining.
The hope is to start small and move on to 6-8-12 GPU rigs through 2018.

I want to maximize my baby budget and have a (what used to be) pretty beefy production machine. My questions are:
  • Is my hardware enough for minging (mb,ram,cpu,psu)

Can't view the first link, however, if you want to do expansions later on go for latest motherboard with more Pci-e slots, z270 boards for example, you don't need an i7 CPU for GPU mining, also invest in High rated watts PSU.

Quote
  • Is the Radeon 4850 worth using? or compatible with the 1070ti's

No, that radeon don't have enough memory for mining, as possible don't mix Nvidias to AMD as it really a challenging one to set it up

Quote
  • How many 1070ti's can I safely run on the machine if good enough


depends on the motherboard you will purchase and your PSU ratings

Quote
  • What components if any could be repurposed in order to save as much of the 2k for gpus

Most of the components used in GPU mining can be resell if you've given up mining.

1031  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: windows or linux on: January 05, 2018, 10:42:17 AM
I'm a big fan of linux, all of my rigs were running linux(ubuntu, nvOC), I believed that linux was cheaper, more stable, more efficiency, easer to management etc. Recently I built a couple of windows rigs because amd rx vega cards require windows to reach best performance, I also built a windows nvidia gtx 1080ti rig, then I realize that windows is better for mining.

1.It's free, doesn't need to be actived.
2.It's stable, never run into issues. nvidia-smi sometimes hang on my linux rigs, but it never happened on the windows rigs. I have a bot calls nvidia-smi every 5 minutes and report GPU temp to a server.
3.It's as easy as linux to be managed, use teamviewer and openssh.
4.It's more firendly to newbie.
5.Some great miners are windows only, for example hsrminer.

I'm considering switching all of my rigs from linux to windows, what do you think about it?

From the considerations stated, I guess you've probably have chosen windows, all of my rigs run on windows actually and no complained about it. if you've still some doubts then I think convert some of your Rigs first, Observed and decide.
1032  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: IS THIS A GOOD HASH RATE FOR 6 1080ti on: January 05, 2018, 10:24:37 AM
Mining
nist5 at 560.8 MH/s with 6 1080ti no over clocking just out the box
Is this a good speed dos any one no thanks


Yes, this is a very good speed, its a way more profitable for a 1080ti's

according to online calculators it could only do at least 71Mh/s

I guess, i'll try these algos

thanks for bringing this out

I don't know anything about Hash rates.

This is a very basic term in mining, this is how your GPU performance in mining coins.

I want to set up my first rig to mine Monero. I have no idea how to start. I looked into buying Vega cards but they are all sold out. I don't know which gpu to use.

AMD GPU cards are very good at Monero, one of the challenges now is how to get them in decent price.

Im doing research still but don't know if the information I'm getting is vaild. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Which program should I use?

Claymore, XMR-stack, Sgminer, ccminer


Quote
Which mining pool sites should I use. Which videos do I watch on Youtube.

lot of monero pools out there

Nanopool, Dwarfpool, nicehash pick your choice

How do I make a rig with a $2000 budget for my first rig? I really want to start like yesterday. Its my first time building a rig. I'm willing to learn. I just need some help. Also, which GPU should I preorder this year to be ahead of the game in 2018?

Premium cards will not be late for sure, AMD vegas, 580's and NVidia 1070,1080ti's are a good bet, making a rig for 2000$ budget will always depend on the GPU card you want to use.

Ok Thanks, So basically anything more then a single GPU i should adjust the bios then correct?

Still no, Just adjust when something went wrong, for a 3 GPU I don't think you need some adjustments, those settings mention above wont affect your hashrate so don't bother, If ain't broke, just don't fix.  Grin
1036  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Can Corsair HX1200i power supply power six cards AND motherboard? on: January 05, 2018, 03:12:53 AM
Could a single Corsair HX1200i handle 6 GTX 1070 ti video cards (180 watts a piece) along with 1151 socket motherboard, celeron processor and SSD?

Yes, just do the proper clocks, unlike AMD's Nvidias don't need OC to obtain nice hashrate and better efficiencies

this is nice read for mining with 1070 ti's

Any mining rigs for around this price? Thanks

You can go for Asics if you want.

if you like flexibility, GO build/assemble a computer system with a more number of PCI slots and buy Premium GPU's like AMD Rx 570/580, NVIDIA 1060,1070,1080 and ti's. Around 2k budget could build at least a single 5-6 AMD GPU rig.
1038  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: nicehash or minergate is best ? on: January 04, 2018, 03:34:59 PM
nicehash or minergate is best for Simple CPU Inter i7

are they paying now days ?

some of my Rigs is with nicehash, it really does pay and can be transferred to coinbase with no fees, however, you can't get much in mining with CPU's compared to GPU, if its for hobby's sake go explore other coins and pools other than the two mention above.
1039  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New RX580 only pulling 24Mh/s while old R9 390 managing 20Mh/s-help? on: January 04, 2018, 03:29:22 PM
So I've had an old rig setup for ages which was running a R9 390 on Ubuntu for the past year at about 15Mh/s. I just bought a RX580 and wiped the system, bringing it onto Windows 10 since it's far easier to mine in Windows. Upgrading to the ATI beta drivers meant for mining alone managed to increase my hash rate on the R9 390 to ~20Mh/s, which is awesome! However, my brand new RX580 is only running at 24Mh/s, even when alone. I'm not terribly experienced at mining-I managed to get the old machine setup just fine based on trial and error, but is this out of the realm of reasonability? My machine is old-I think the motherboard is pushing 7-9 years old and the power supply is only 750W, but everything seems stable, I'm just not sure whether this is a reasonable hashrate to get or not? I know many people see they can get up to 30Mh/s with a RX580-is that what I should be expecting as well, or might this be due to a limitation in my setup or the age of my equipment? I'm happy to give whatever other details you anyone might need to isolate this, too-just not sure where to start...

Getting 30+Mh/s for RX580 requires bios modification, tutorials here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0

try install drivers for blockchain or drivers with compute mode.

Looking to spend £1500 on a rig.

I dont need Windows or a hard disk.

Will stick by the forum and moline on the OCUK pool.

What have you guys got?

if you don't need Windows or HDD, probably go for an ASIC. however its hard to get those hardware these days.
