Posting here so it's easier for me to see replies and keep up with Bminer development.

This is interesting, feel free to check my post history, and ask me alt coin questions, you are an extremely well respected member of the alt coin mining community, and you have helped many of us, (myself included) to understand this new paradigm, good luck on this new endeavor!

I agree with this as well, it all depends on what your goal is, and whether you need your mining to pay your Electric bills, if you have a day job, and can afford to mine even when at a current loss, simply because you enjoy it, and it is a super fun Hobby, you very well may make out like a bank robber, several years from now, imagine going back in time to when Bitcoin miners turned their rigs off, because of electrical costs (and then mining thousands of Bit coin at a technical loss) only to have it go from $1 to $20,000, those that turned their rigs off, would be kicking themselves to this day...

You should pick up one of these, (see link Below) to allow your motherboard to power on both power supplies at the same time,

well that one seems to be out of stock as a shipped by Amazon product, but you get the point, scroll down and you will find 10 similar items for 15$ or less, I linked that, simply because that is what I own, and I know they work well, but the others available should work just as well, they simply link two power supplies to your Motherboard, and allow them to both turn on simultaneously

Hello fellow Heinlein follower!

Not saying the OP's post is an actually doable scenario, but I enjoy the ingenuity of his thought process, so I will respond to you with a,

Not true at all!

 Many under $40 US dollar a night rooms in Asia have much faster internet connections than the average American has in their home, just saying, From an experienced traveler, and some one that lives in the US, but regularly travels extensively throughout Asia...

Mixed into one of my rigs, I have an older EVGA GTX 970 as well, here are the results of it mining Equihash under DSTM, OS is Simple Mining,

GPU1 42C Sol/s: 262.8 Sol/W: 2.22 Avg: 271.3 I/s: 145.1 Sh: 0.40 1.00 239

So yeah, it Averages around 271.3 Sol/s mining Equihash currently,

Completely normal,

It is currently -8 Celsius outdoors where I live, and I have not had my heat turned on this winter, the 20+ 1070 ti SC Hybrids scattered over three rigs, completely heat a 1000 square foot 2 story , 2 bedroom home to 23+ Celsius, which is a more than comfortable temperature to wear a t shirt indoors in the winter, now when summer comes I will need to have many windows open, but in the winter the only downside is that the Air gets extremely dry, and static electric becomes more of a concern so thus needs to be mitigated,

This is the correct answer, I have one plugged into the on board HDMI port of three separate mining rig motherboards, and now they are all full resolution when I remote in, very similar to the link and I picked mine up at Amazon as well.

Hybrid Cards are far superior,

The Cards themselves stay remarkably cooler then their air-cooled brethren,
These following 10 cards are all EVGA 1070ti SC Hybrids,
Overclocked to
Core +180
Memory +1300
Power Limit(watt) 113 watts per card,
Running Under SMOS

and here are the results for those ten cards, look at those temps, and these run 24 hours a day,

You will Never find this low of card temps, unless you are spending a fortune on Air-conditioning, or live in an Arctic environment year around,

For 110 volt outlets, these are amazing, just make sure not to run them close to the 15amp (1800 watt) limit or they trip and internal breaker and stop working permanently...
but they allow everything to be monitored and administered remotely, including power cycling rigs etc...

What GPU's are you using, this info would help?

I really wish people that did not own this motherboard, and are not using it with at least 12 GPU, would stop posting their hypothetical concepts as if they are truth, even if you read what you are regurgitating directly from the Asus B250- Mining Expert PDF, You may not be correct and are spreading misinformation,

 A certain configuration within the Asus PDF manual may work, but the truth is that many others work as well, so unless you are actually experimenting with this board, rehashing things you read on line, is not helping this thread...

But actually spreading misinformation that will waste new users time to trouble shoot, and figure out why,

and Yes I am using the Asus B250 with 12 EVGA GTX 1070 TI SC Hybrids, and it has been working splendid, once I figured out my proper Overclock settings within "Simple Miner"

I am currently running two power supplies, Both EVGA, first being a 1600T2, second being a 1000T2,

I really hope this did not come off as too negative, I only would like to see more truly constructive info being offered up to the Alt-Coin mining community,

Does SMOS offer idle worker notifications via Email?
I saw it was in the pipeline from 2016 but I can't seem to find where to turn it on, or is it not implemented?

Within Suprnova the option is there under the "Notifications" tab, and I check boxed "Payout" and "Idle Worker", I always receive a near immediate email about a Payout from the Suprnova Mining pool, but have never / ever received an email about a worker going Idle,

Is this a known issue with Suprnova? In addition I can not find an option under SMOS to have it send me an email about an Idle worker, am I missing something?

the most valued feature I could imagine, would be a near immediate notification if a worker went Idle or had some other issue...

 I do have a smart plug that I can monitor Wattage usage / and power on and off, via WiFi regardless of where I am at in the world, and that does give me a fairly good idea if a Rig has dropped from peak mining (wattage falls off of my known full rig draw), but it is not an auto prompt to me, via a ding on my phone, the way I would desire an immediate email or text message to do...

Please share any info about how YOU have resolved this issue, and achieved immediate notifications about an Idle mining rig, via an email prompt, within Suprnova, or Simple Mining Operating System, or a Third party solution...

Thanks,

I really would like to dial in these mining rigs, so that they run with as close to 100% up time as possible, given the occasional reboot. whether that be manually or via wifi while I am at work and not near the rigs,

Please try

Core = 200                     <"I believe this is equal to +100 in Afterburner / Windows"
Memory = 1400               <"this is equal to +700 in Afterburner / Windows"
power limit = 161 watt     <"this is equal to TDP to 90% in Afterburner / Windows" in SMOS / Linux you set the actual Watt, not a percentage,

Please try these settings and report back,

PS. Linux uses effective clock, so if you could really pull off 830 under windows stable, then that setting would be 1660 under Linux I do Believe,
"+1660" being effective Memory clock, or same as +830 in Afterburner / Windows.

You really need to let us know what your current Overclock settings are on the Simple Mining Rig List tab, I assume you are overclocking the core and memory, while lowering the wattage draw from the stock draw, but you will find optimum advice headed your way more quickly if you list your current overclock settings in Simple mining

I am running BIOS 1001 and 12 GTX 1070ti SC Hybrids on the Asus Mining Expert no problem, using two 110 volt power supplies, one 1600 and one 1000 watt both titanium EVGA, GPU's are staggered throughout the three channel banks, I did not limit them to the first two although I am only using two power supplies, in addition I am not plugging any Molex into the 3 AUX channel bank plugins,

 running SMOS boot from USB, with clocks set to 200 core, 1400 memory, 130 watt, drawing a total of 1750 watt at the wall, including all cards and Mobo, trying to stay below 1800 watt due to the smart plug stating it will only pass 15 amp, and I believe going over that ruined one of them for me, and I really like the utility of the smart plug when I am away from home,

This Exactly!
 ASUS has always been a very reputable company, and given that I purchased every one of my B250 Mining Expert boards for less that US $149 , and every one of them can presently run up to 13 standard GPU, with a future update to expand beyond that, I am quite happy,

Even if I made the Purchase under the assumption, that it would never be more than a 12 GPU MB, based purely on its stability and quality at that price point, It would be my only mother board purchase for the foreseeable future,
definitely my MB of choice as of 1/3/2018
