If you want to be pretty certain about not having the router's firmware crash on you and interrupting your connectivity within the LAN; try using an unmanaged switch for those critical devices and then linking the unmanaged switch to the router. As long as you're not relying on too many of the advanced features on a managed switch - this should provide you with the simplest, most robust Ethernet possible.
There is no point to buying a managed switch for a mining situation (unless you get a used one DIRT cheap). From a security standpoint, setting up miners on their own VLAN is a good idea and enhances network performance by eliminating crosstalk and broadcast traffic with other devices on the LAN. Netgear ProSAFE Layer 2 switches are a good and inexpensive option. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnHY5owtkHA |

Try putting only one graphics card directly in the x16 slot and see if it boots.
Right now not at my mining place. Ill try it tomorrow/today. I readed now threw other forums and now i maybe have 2 solutions. 1) CPU Fan is connected to the chassisfan connector (Does the ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ not start if no CPU fan is connected?) 2) I only have a 4 pin connector for the 8 pin slot. Maybe is it possible that ive connected the 4 pin connecter on slot 5-8 and not to 1-4 Does the ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ not start if no CPU fan is connected? Why would you connect it to the chasis fan? You need to connnect the CPU fan to the CPU fan connector. You also need to connect the 8-pin CPU power connector from the PSU to the CPU power connector on the motherboard. Sure. Well i was tired. I know now i put the cpu fan to the chassis fan connector. Is it possible that this is the reason why i get no signal? The 8 pin CPU power connector is also possible to power it with a 4 pin power connector, its written like that in the user manual. More than likley. If the motherboard can detect the CPU fan speed, it won't boot to prevent damage from overheating to the CPU. I don't know you could connect it to the chasis fan since it's on the other side of the motherboard and the CPU fan cable won't reach that far. |

Lots of people saying eBay only sides with the buyer. But they sided with me as the seller.
Sold a GPU. Buyer tried to return it after the 30 day grace period saying it didn't work. I was pleasant with communication and eBay / PayPal refused to take it any further.
However, this doesn't appear to be the norm so always be careful.
Things like taking pictures / video of item serial numbers and the packages etc will help you a lot. I've had a lot of people over the years try to return a broken electronic item that was actually their original which they swapped with their new purchase for me.
Good luck.
That was the reason why eBay sided with you. If the buyer had opened the claim on the 29th day at 23:59, eBay would have forced you to accept the return, unless you drag the buyer to say something to prove they are lying. Once a buyer opens a claim though eBay, they can no longer open a claim through PayPal. Pictures and documentation will only help you win an appeal AFTER the fact, unless the buyer is claming a defect that is shown in one of the listing pictures and stated in the description. |

The current day eBay is a scammers paradise. Your track record doesn't matter one bit and a no returns policy doesn't exist on eBay. All it takes is for a scumbag to register a new account and buy what ever they want. He then has a full 30 days to open a SNAD claim for what ever reason they can imagine. Unless you can drag them to say something in the dispute communication that proves they're lying or that violates eBay policy, eBay WILL allow them to return the item AND you pay for the shipping both ways. If you approve the return, once the item is scanned as delivered you have 6 days to refund the buyer or eBay will automatically do it for you. If you refuse the return, eBay will send the buyer a label and charge your account for it. Once the eBay is scanned delivered, eBay will refund the buyer automatically from your PayPal account and you lose the eBay FVF, PayPal fees and get a defect on your account.
If the buyer scams you and what he sends back is different or in a different condition than it was sent, you can open an appeal and eBay will refund your money once you send them an affidavit, as long as you're not a commercial seller.
Are you maybe suggesting that I would get my money back and the seller would also as a courtesy from ebay??? That's correct. If the buyer scams you by returning a different item, or a damaged item that is returned diffrent from the way it was shipped and you win the appeal, eBay will refund the buyer and release the funds on hold back to you. The buyer will also have a faulty return logged against their account. If they get more, they will eventually get banned. The problem is everyone on eBay gets a free pass and it's too easy to file a fraudlent return under a false pretense. It's simply a matter of opening a claim and typing a sentence in a box. eBay does not require the buyer to cooperate with communicating or to prove anything, except they sent the item back once eBay said they could. |

any link to those psu's ? or we don't know exactly what you are referring to:)
Chinese OEM PSU ?
That's right. 'Chinese OEM PSU' is too vague to make a determination. There are probably dozens of no name PSU's of varying quality being offered by hundreds of sellers. I would not place any faith in the fake 80+ rating. To get the legitimate certification costs money, which is one reason why brand name PSU's cost more. If you decide to go that route, I would stick with a large reseller with a good track record. BBT did a review on a Generic platinum 2400 W PSU that uses dual 110 V lines with 18 8-pin connectors for $90. He seemed to think it was an OK piece for the price. https://youtu.be/ZY2ouRWHgT8?t=338https://panto.en.alibaba.com/product/60673329827-805127854/2017_newest_110v_2400w_power_supply_for_miner.html? |

where is the error?
The Windows Firewall is probably blocking the connection. In the firewall rules, change it to allow. |

Biggest improvement seems to be for the Pitcairn. About 10% faster, if the speed shown is correct.
Tahiti's seem the same
What's your settings? I lost 5 H/s on a HD 7850 to 515 H/s from 520 H/s. The -dmem 1 also won't work for, it crashes the card. |

Thanks Vann, I hope to try this out asap, and get favorable results. As it is, I have 11 cards, 5 GTX 1070s, and 6 RX 580s, and not being able to get them to work is not only highly frustrating, it's also costly.
My other question is, seeing all this talk about simplemining, and ETHOS, does it require card to be grouped such as posted above? Or is this issue with Windows 10 only?
Mixing AMD and Nvidia type cards is only supported on Windows. On Linux you can use up to 13 AMD or Nvidia cards with this board, but they must be the same type for all the cards. |

I have a bizarre issue that I've been fighting all weekend. Have this board with a celeron and 8gb of ram with a m2 ssd, runs fine with 6 1070s attached to a 1000w psu that also powers the board (900w at the wall) then I tried to add 2 AMD cards... I used a 750w psu that was powering those same 2 (RX480 w/ BIOS mod) cards with a Y cable for turning it on and everything booted up and ran fine for about an hour, then one of the AMD cards dropped out (Claymore dual miner) and the system restarted and that card no longer showed up in device manager. I swapped out the riser and no change, connected to different mobo slot no change, tried many many different things and the one card never lights up or fans spin up like its not getting power. I swapped the 480s out for 470s and it does the same thing, I put the cards back in the machine they came from with the 750w psu and all works fine, I've never run a rig with 2 psus before, is there something I'm missing? I'm powering each riser and the card connected to it from the same psu
@bucketofsocks, I think it's somewhat similar to my case, see below. Whenever I use 5 rX 580s and 5 GTX 1070s, Claymore will hang as soon as it starts but 5 RX 580s, and 4 GTX 1070s, it goes on without a problem. I then change my virtual ram from 16 GB to 32 GB, then proceeded with addition of 1 more RX 580s, for a total of 6 RX 580s, with 4 GTX 1070s, it will start mining, then after a while (an hour or less), the machine needs a reboot since it's no longer responsive, and I can see nothing in the screen. Remote access to this machine doesn't work either. But sadly, no one shared insights on this yet. Jason I was having similar problems when adding two Nvidia cards together with 8 AMD RX series cards. The mining would crash after about 1-2 hours. I think it's because the H110 chipset only supports 6 native PCI-E lanes. The rest of the PCI-E slots use an expander chip, so it's important to use the same type of cards, either AMD or Nvidia, in each of the PCI-E slot pairs to prevent conflicts. Ultimatley what solved it for me was moving the two Nvidia cards to the last PCI-E slots on the board, 6_1 and 7_1. In the Bios I also set the all the PCI-E slot speeds to GEN 1, except for the Nvidia cards to GEN 2 (they wouldn't be recognized if set to GEN 1) and I also set the x16 slot to GEN 3. I then removed the drivers in safe mode using DDU and reninstalled the drivers. I installed the AMD blockchain drivers first and the Nvidia 385.12 drivers last. Runs stable now since I did that.  |

when i mine only ETC i get 26mh/s single rx 470
if dual mine etc+dcr only 20 for ETC and 600 in DCR
is that normal
You can adjust the secondary coin intensity with the +/- keys while dual mining. Once you find the best intensity that maximizes the hash rate of the second coin without lowering the ETH hash rate, you can set it in your command line or configuration file with the -dcri parameter. |

Remove the drivers in safe mode using DDU. Then shutdown and remove all of the cards and connect the card that's not working in a different PCI-E slot that was working together with another card that's working, so you can boot back in to Windows and see if reinstalling the drivers fixes it.

Double check your figures at the wall. There is no way mining ZEC with RX 570/580's uses 75 W less per card than dual mining ETH+DCR using the same undervolt settings. Mining Monero, maybe. I'm actually getting almost the same power usage as dual mining since ZEC uses a much higher core clock than mining ETH.

I was thinking along this line as well. As I mentioned, I have tried a hacksaw and it cuts it pretty well by hand but the angle tends to get off somewhat and over several cuts it starts to get out of hand. While it would be still functional, it makes the frames look rather sloppy. I know this would not affect the mining, but if I am spending the extra $$ for nice aluminum tubing I want it to look nice when finished. I will try to find a miter box and you linked and see how that works. The mitre box helps you to keep the blade angle straight while cutting. The clamps keeps the piece from moving. The fine tooth blade will also help smooth out the cuts and you can use an emery cloth to even out any small differences. |

As if its not said enough, don't calculate worth by looking at today's stats. The big profit from mining comes from holding and cashing out years later when the your mined coin's value rises. For example look at Litecoin, when people started mining, it was only worth a couple of dollars but now it reaches more than 90$ each. So my suggestion is mine a coin you believe will be useful in the real world and one that will have greater value in the coming years to come. #ETH
Good luck!
Just to add a data point: I stopped mining bitcoin in summer 2012 because the *meager* 1 BTC I was getting every week did not appear to be an attractive return anymore. Imagine the regret! Not as much as this fellow: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0Although when interviewed a number of years ago, he said he was cool with it  http://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-pizza-day-passes-2000-20-million-2017-5 |
