In WIN10 you can actually edit Update rules wia GPE or REGEDIT.
My win10 are fine and no unusual behaviour.
Win10 bigger hashrate somehow relates to DX12? i did not notice any difference in hashing on 1080ti's or 1070's ... is it really better on win10 ?

Now that summertime is rolling around, I'm starting to think of more creative ways to utilize the waste heat coming off of my mining rigs.

In the winter this is easy. Rather than building a large centralized mining operation in a garage, shed or basement, I distributed the GPUs into smaller microATX builds with 2 GPUs each. There's more overhead in terms of the support parts needed to run this such as CPUs, cases, motherboards, etc. But by strategically placing them throughout the house, 100% of the exhaust heat gets put to good use by heating the air, which directly reduces the burden on my traditional HVAC. Of course the electric heat isn't as cost efficient as burning oil/gas, but it's still a big win.

Of course in the summer this flips on its head and would increase the need for AC, so all of the rigs get consolidated into my basement and laundry room. And it occurs to me that in those two rooms there's a lot of things that could put the heat to good use, if only there was an effective way to harvest it. I've googled around but there surprisingly isn't much talk about this, especially considering how much potential extra profit there is here.

The first and most obvious target for is to convert that waste heat into hot water. Obviously by itself they can't heat water to a high enough temperature on its own, but it could be used to preheat water to ~80C before the boiler takes over from there. So what are some realistic options to do that? The most direct way would be watercooling the GPUs and using the water in the loop directly, but then I'd need to loop the GPUs directly into tap water and that's a bad idea in multiple ways. I've read of using some sort of heat exchanger to keep the loop separate, but now that's adding cost and complexity to the point where it stops making sense.

Ideally I'd like not to have to modify the hardware *in* the rigs, and concentrate/harvest the hot air coming out of them. They could be vented into a small space using fairly simple ductwork. If you could get most of the hot air into a small space, wouldn't it be possible to use some sort of heat pump/exchanger to transfer that concentrated  thermal energy into a boiler preheat tank? Surely I can't be the only person who's thought of this.

A simpler but less broadly useful application would be to make that space into a pseudo-clothesdryer, but that seems like more of a neat trick than anything else.

So what's the state of the art when it comes to recycling the waste heat year round? Is there a practical way to do this or have people just given up on the idea?

if you go to the win10 update settings page you can pull a list of the dates win10 installed updates, see if they correspond to the dates you had the problems.

this is one reason why i mine on win7. i tell it to monitor for but not install updates till i can review them.

We now offer comp mining while unit is in paid repair.  If it is not fixable, we will stop the comp mining upon discovery of none fixable condition and let you know!

Also, soon BitmainWarranty be reborn as Myrig.com  

Dear friends,

I have a Gigabyte card model GA-990FXA-UD3 ..

I have 5 video cards. All connected in pci-e riser with usb cable

There I tried to put the 6 * video card in the 2nd  Pci-e 1X  using the 1x-16x riser pci-e extender and the card does not recognize

I tried to change the pci-e adapter 1x-16x and the video card and it did not solve

Can someone help me?

See the photo: GA-990FXA-UD3


Thanks
Almir

i have another question - does it make any difference, in relation to nicehash, to mine directly without any registration vs registration and sell hashpower? I mean whats more profitable from client stand point? (hashing is  about 6x1080ti plus some 7970's) Also, is mining via nicehash "uniminer" interface vs CMD line directly - any profit differences?

Ok I think I figured it out...so I will needd to make a new account with all the addresses at one time. I only made xxooss a BTC one.  Do I need to wait to get paid b4 I turn him off and use the new user name?

Yeah makes sense!

At that stage would it be best to just try and mine scrypt coins with lower diff and or wait until the diff of certain coins go down?

Have you tried this? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1597639.msg18267781#msg18267781

EDIT: I can confirm that it resets a R4 batch-6 back to BMiner v1.0 file system date Tue Aug 9 21:00:51 CST 2016.
It also resets all pool info back to Factory so you will have to re-enter it.

Good bit is: Auto-tune is GONE! IT GIVES BACK FREQ and FAN SPEED CONTROL!

To do:
Power off miner
Press and hold in the IP REPORTER button.
While holding the button in, turn ON the miner power
Continue to hold in button for 5-7 sec and release
Wait a few min an you should be able to re-enter your pool info.
Enjoy!

Caveat: Since it runs BOTH boards at the same freq, if one is er, weak, you would have to downclock the good one until the weak one is happy....
Or apply the correct R4 update and get Auto-tune back...

Does SLI make a difference in mining?

IE...Would two 1080TI's perform differently in SLI mode compared to non-SLI mode? (Hashing performance and power).  

PS...In my Country 2 1080ti's = $1480 and 3 1070's=$1155 so the TI's are only really worth it if space is limited.

hey guys im new here was advised to post on this thread.

Im looking for someone that knows what they are talking about in the sense of starting up my own mining setup...have $10,000 AUD to spend on hardware. as well as having unlimited free electricity. if anyone is knowledgeable enough to know what would be the best option to gain maixmum profit would be much appreciated and wont go without reward. thanks
