Try GPU 2 in a different slot and see if it changes for the better.  If you are using risers I would try a different one of those two.

Im at .048 per Kw\h here in west central Indiana and im still making money.  Waiting out the newbs to sell off all their cards during the great spring/summer 2018 panic.

And the flood of used GPU's is here.  Ill wait awhile...I could use some $100 RX 580s and some 1080s for $200.  Its coming.  Im mining coins now and I got off NiceCrash and they can shove it.  Mining in pools proves alone that NiceCrash was reporting slower output than my rigs were actually making.   NiceCrash showed my blower 1080 producing 370sol/s but EWBF showed 450 consistently.  Ill be in the pools from here on out getting the coins. If I want to give my money away ill give it to someone I like and I dont Like NiceCrash.

Im lazy and I went with the Veddha v3c.  one unit will hold 6 gpu's, motherboard and 2 power supplies.  Two stacked will do 13-15 gpu's if you add a second mounting rail.  Thats what im running.  2 rigs with 2 v3c's  stacked and a Asus B250 mining expert motherboard.

Radiation? Source please.

As for OP most of the time the card vendor has its own software to control the led colors / turn them off. Check the utilities by your card's model at the Asus website.

Nuclear powered GPUs? Yeah i don't believe radiation is a factor with GPU mining.

That being said, simply get a screwdriver and disconnect the LEDs. Just be careful with opening the case, some wires might be attached to the housing. Do it slowly.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news nuclear sources arent the only ones that produce radiation. The sun, car radio, microwave oven, tv/monitor, xbox one, ps4 and even your GPU all produce radiation.  Not the same types as each other but it is radiation.

Hi Folks I am using several of the ROG STRIX 1080 to mine, at night it is nuisance when sleep, anyway to off the flashing lights while mining? Thanks!

I don't think it is healthy to sleep in a room with many GPU's. Just move them to some other room. Even though GPU rigs make a lot less noise than ASICs, its is still enough to disturb you. Plus, the amount of radiation they generate is probably not healthy. Another shitty thing is dust particles. Those fans will be working constantly which means there will be more dust particles in air than usual. Want to be asthma? Keep doing it.

Lights coming from your GPU's should be least of your concerns.

GPU's emitting radiation, Is that some new FUD? In any case, I would guess you absorb more radiation from walking outside on a sunny day that from GPU's in a lifetime.

Regarding the question, download the Asus Aura Sync utility, set the LED's to off and no more LED's

https://www.asus.com/campaign/aura/us/download.html

Once you change it, you no longer have to keep it running.

Absolutely FUD....Hes got more radiation upside his brain coming from his cel phone than that GPU is putting out.  Id be more concerned over the dust and noise waking me up numerous times in the middle of the night.  The dog's farts are more dangerous than radiation from a GPU.

Less heatness? Is that a technical term?  Roll Eyes
148  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: excavator by NiceHash - multi-algorithm NVIDIA GPU miner [1.4.4a] on: March 28, 2018, 06:55:24 PM
My 2 rigs (running nicehash) have gone full retard starting yesterday.  Numerous crashes.  Rig 1 popping up with Nvidia Driver update warning.  I have the latest and it still pops up with it now and then since yesterday (i see this warning because of the numerous crashes and needed reboots).  Rig 2 running without driver warning even though it has the same Nvidia driver updates AND has all GPU's (11) that are Nvidia GTX 10 series. It has crashed less than Rig 1 though.  As if the lower payouts arent enough now ive gotta deal with instability and loss of profit from all the crashes.  Changes are coming soon....at my house.

220v

AP7911

Its 240vac in the U.S. and has been for many decades.  Find a "great deal" on NOS 220vac plugs/outlets and they will burn up eventually.
150  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: best 240v PDU for 30amp Breaker. on: March 28, 2018, 02:25:25 AM
This diagram is grossly incorrect.  "system ground" (which is totally the wrong title, its called earth ground) is NOT the same as neutral.  You should NEVER have current flowing through ground (unless there is a ground fault in the load which is what it is for) so you sure the hell wouldnt attach a ground wire directly to a 240v 3 pole outlet.  You do on a 4 pole outlet, thats what the 4th terminal for.  The picture shows the G terminal incorrectly marked. It should be a W.  A L6-30 Outlet doesnt even have a ground wire attached.  Ground is accomplished back at the main disconnect device where the neutral and ground are jumpered.  You dont get the 4th terminal until you get into the 50amp outlets typically in modern souckets/plugs. (NEC rules).  If you have a 3 terminal 50 amps plug/socket, it is obsolete even though it may be new in the box.  Electrical safety rules are there to protect all of us and by default the equipment we attach.

In that case who gives a shit what all romex looks like as long as its safely installed and out of the way.  Theres a fine line between making something too pretty and wasting alot of time doing it and constructing something to serve a purpose.  Pretty doesnt make you money. 
152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Medium Size Farm Buildout (Pics Added) on: March 27, 2018, 01:29:41 PM
I saw the pics! Finally!!! I would love some more, perhaps one from the outside?

I know I will get some outside pics when I can.

I hope to add more GPUs I the future to get me over the 1gh/s mark. Thinking Juneish will be the best time for my to have extra cash on hand and purchase enough to put me over that mark.

I am going to rewire the attic gable style fans into one single 20amp breaker. They are currently on separate dedicated breakers. I am willing to add more attic fans if need for ventilation.

So far what would anyone suggest that I change or adjust knowing that summer in Texas is approaching. Inside Shed is sitting around 95F when the heat is at a high of 85F.
I would look at the FLA (Full Load Amps) rating on the nameplate of the attic fans before I stuck them both on the same 20a breaker.   When an electric motor first starts up and until it gets to rated speed it will draw 5-10 times its FLA.  This will be a problem if both fans start at the same time which will most likely happen if your fans are on a thermostat and also when you first start them up together.  So I really need to know what kind of current these fans are drawing to give you a better idea in your situation.  Why not keep them on separate breakers?  Are you running out of spaces in your circuit breaker panel? There are breakers that take up half a space (2 in 1) that will allow you to only use one breaker space but get 2 breakers out of it.  You also have the option of adding a subpanel to get more spaces if needed too.
153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NVIDIA Founders Edition - 8-Pin Power Issue? on: March 27, 2018, 12:48:14 PM
No body noticing damaged 8-pin connector?
The broken divider if thats what you are referring to and thats what im actually seeing in the pic isnt going to keep the card/connector from working.  However what caused that divider to be broken could be a 8 pin plug was installed backwards and forced.

OP  I need a better aerial view looking down into that connector that is in focus.  That pic appears to show the connector has what is called a pushed pin(s).  If a plug is inserted wrong or even just forced too quickly it can break the lock that holds the pin within the cavity of the its socket and if that happened then the solder joint to the board is broken.  Remove the fan shroud and inspect the board side opposite of the 8 pin socket.

154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Power for mining on: March 25, 2018, 04:41:44 AM
Hi everyone!
How do you feel about projects providing power for mining? I think it's profitable, because you do not need to take care of the room where to keep cards, the safety of cards. What do you think about this project and how do you treat such ico?

If you mean renting a GPU somewhere or sending your mining rigs away, I'm out.  I'd rather keep my rigs close and maybe invest in solar.  It's on my to do list...

Solar is NOT an investment.  Solar is a 75K sports car that is worth 55K as soon as you drive it off the lot.  The sports car will never make you any money before you die.  The car MIGHT be worth more long after when you are dead.  The car will continue to cost you money every year you own it in maintenance and repair parts.  Thats solar.  The battery bank will need replaced every 5-10yrs depending on what type and whether they are abused.  The regulators and inverters dont last forever.  One good hail storm and your capacity is reduced or wiped out.  Whos going to pay for those replacement panels? Genius idea...File a claim on homeowners insurance and get your insurance jacked up instantly...if they even cover it.   All this applies mainly to the united states.  The government doesnt want you to have solar because the power companies dont want you to either and they lobby the government to help with that.  Solar isnt near as green as you think it is.  Its a novelty at best.
155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NVIDIA Founders Edition - 8-Pin Power Issue? on: March 25, 2018, 04:33:06 AM
Did you test this card on another motherboard and have you tried discharge capacitors from before trying (power off, toggle psu off on the back, press power button, wait minute, power on)?
Also dim light maybe because something with led and it's pcb and not card as a whole.
Why would you need to "discharge the capacitors"?  Which ones?  Do you have any idea how many caps are on a GPU?  Do you even know what they do?
156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NVIDIA Founders Edition - 8-Pin Power Issue? on: March 25, 2018, 04:31:39 AM
With Dim LED's Symptom there are only 3 possibilities here.  One is that you simply arent getting enough power to the 8 pin socket on the GPU.  Is this GPU the only one being powered by the power supply?  If it isnt then disconnect one that is working and connect ITS 8 pin cable to the pain in the ass GPU that isnt working.  Does it work now?  If it does then you either dont have a large enough power supply OR your original cable feeding the pain in the ass GPU is no good which leads us to possibility 2.  Did you mix cables from another brand or even generation of power supply?  Ring the ends out with a ohmeter and compare to a working cable to verify.  Then possibility three is that you have a short or open in the pain in the ass GPU.  Shorts definitely cause dim LED's.  Ohm out with a ohmeter from hot side of 8 pin socket to ground side and what resistance do you see?  A open on one or more of the hot or negative side connection to the pin socket will mimick a short also as far as the dim LED symptom and simply not working.  You may have to remove fan shroud to get a better look.  Look for dark or burnt spots on the circuit board of the card around the 8 pin socket. Poor solder connections can cause failure of the joint connections on the board.  Sometimes this type of failure will even burn the traces coming from the 8 pin socket which route power to throughout the rest of the circuit board of the GPU.  4 of those pins are 12v+ and the other 4 are 12v-.   If there is any kind of board failure it will usually show its ugly head and be obvious when you pop the fan shroud off and inspect the board.  Burnt traces, bad solder joints can be repaired.  SMD (surface mount devices) can be replaced but can be a total pain in the ass without the proper equipment.

Can any one tell me for who use more than 8 card amd and use Windows  what  amd driver  you using isit   aug23 BLOCKCHAIN

I want know what driver can work with 13 card without hashrate Affected

I tested all the recent drivers on windows 10, for me blockchain driver is so far best. Here are reasons

1) For new drivers, you gotta change GPU workload to "compute" mode for each GPU. In case of rig crashes for some reason, all settings go back to default, time confusing process to change settings back

2) the main problem is the blue screen, new drivers are not stable and cause a lot of blue screen issues in my rig of 13 GPUs

3) new drivers break claymore temp and fan monitor, can't OC via claymore

Compute mode only set once
I have none bluescreen.
Restart claymore to take effect.
Using 18.3.2

I have two Mining Expert rigs and I have yet to see any settings for Compute Mode in the GPU software (windows 10 pro update 1709). And I even followed the many online instructions (clicking on global).  Anyone know why?

Perhaps not so soon, but bitcoin will definitely reach the mark of one hundred thousand dollars. This year? It is impossible to know for sure.
It aint happening this year. Watch what happens in Sept 2018.

Just reading this thread everyday when I wake up now is going to become a hilarious habit. I normally remove threads from my watchlist once they start getting away from me, but I can't help myself but to stick around in this case. There was one night where profits dipped down, mostly due to a drop in price from BTC, but now it genuinely seems like a lot of people have turns off their miners or something. 1080ti profitability is up from the last time I even posted in here, far surpassing $1

You guys are basing your numbers off profitibility calculators and not actual use cases. I've never seen a 1080ti make less than $2 a day with my own two eyes. Most of those I know mining aren't even using an exclusive rig, just use the card their monitor is connected because they're "casual" miners/users.

I have 2 rigs with a total of 20 gpu's, two of them being 1080s and those cards are making more than a buck a day and always have.
