Awesome It would be great if you could test that board with 8 Nvidia cards and then with 8 AMD cards and let us know, im still waiting on my sample  I'm going to try to transfer these 8 1070 GPUs from this rig to the Onda:  However, I'm not sure if that 1st gen EVGA 1070 SC is going to clear the 24V power connector. Should be a good test otherwise as that particular rig has quite a mix of 1070's. (3x 1st gen EVGA 1070 SC, 1x 2nd gen 1070 SC, 1x 1070 SC2, 1x 1070 FTW, 1x Zotac 1070 AMP!, and a nvidia FE) That said, it's Friday and I just cracked open a fresh handle of Svedka.  And, my main project this weekend is getting these 48 280W additional solar panels installed!  |

arent ddr3 sodimms 240 pins vs ddr4 260 pins?
I'm running one of these: (it was on sale for $69 at the time) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232147It seems happy with it:  Here are some shots of the default graphics settings:    i wonder what voltages those 4 pin molex and sata connectors need? I can get 12v/5v via sidehacks adapter but i cant get 3.3v for the sata. if it needs the 3.3v too a server based build is out, i would have to go with an atx psu. i would rather go server psu.
Good question. I know the sata connector standard does include 3.3V but very few drives actually use it. I too would much prefer just feeding everything with a server PSU and a PICO, but it doesn't look like that is going to be possible. |

Got my Onda D8P to post. Not sure if I needed to connect all the Sata and Molex connectors for my quick smoke test, but decided to do it anyway. I ran a dedicated Perif/Sata cable to each plug, using up all 6 plugs on my EVGA 1200 P2.  And I was greeted with a blast from the past good olde AMI BIOS:  I looked through the BIOS settings and I'm not sure what, if anything, needs tweaking before throwing some GPU's on this thing. I'm running a G3930 CPU and a DDR4 SODIMM. It it will take DDR3 as well, that's great as I can probably pull some from one of my older laptops. Next up will be booting from a SSD with nvOC installed and throw a 1050Ti on it to see if it will mine at the default BIOS settings. |

I got my mobo as well. Yeah, great job packing it Phil! Hope to get it fired up tonight. Need to steal an ATX PSU from another rig that I'm switching over to a Delta 2400W. So I'll have to do that first. I did notice that the slot spacing is wider than the standard 2 x 20.32mm, so I won't be able to water cool using EK quad parallel blocks. On other words, 2 of these blocks won't work:  So if I water cool, I'll have to use tubing between GPUs instead of blocks. |

It's pretty well optimized, there are limits to it ofc. I have some ideas which might improve performance, they require some restructuring. So yes, this is something I'll work on.
What do you make of these rumors about "private kernels" that supposedly can do 1000 Sol/S on a 1080Ti? Pure fiction? |

|

Yes. Just make the coin "NICE_EQUIHASH" and enter your NH BTC wallet address (BTC_ADDRESS) in the proper place in 1bash.

Btw. that a nice usage of frames to have multiple rigs on one page. I was also thinking to provide a html template for something similar.
Thanks. This was something that Papampi posted in the nvOC thread, and that stubo modified. I'm running the following to prevent scroll bars: m1@miner01:~$ cat /var/www/html/multiminerinfo.html

I use $8 36" x 11" shelves from Home Depot along with 5x 3/4" square dowels that run about $3 a pop. 36" provides nice spacing between GPUs and allows moving the rigs to cold spots in the house during winter. In my case since I use 240V only PSU's, I had to install 240V outlets at each miner location, which can be a pain.  In the summer time, they all live on metal shelving like this, and the wooden frame miners will also slip into those shelves without issue.  |

I thought that was power for the fans initially, and a 4 pin cpu male is required from a pico psu.
And also it's weird design, why does a mobo need to be connected to itself with cables lol. Why can't some power from the bunch of 6 pins go directly to cpu via the mobo traces?
I got one of these boards on the way too. Should be here early next week. I will be powering it with a Delta 2400W. I figured I'd start by connecting all the 6 pin IN connectors to the Delta, then see if it will post with some crappy $25 GT 720 GPU I got laying around. If not, I'll check for 12V on the 4 pin OUT connector, and if I see it, make a cable to feed the 4 pin IN connector by the CPU. If it still won't post at this point, I'm not sure what the next step would be. Also, on all those 6 pin OUT connectors for the GPU's, is there a reason to use those instead of just feeding the GPU's directly from the Delta? If I was to run 1080Ti's with dual 8 pin connectors, I would definitely want to feed them directly from the PSU and not via Y cables from the mobo! |

@dstm - Any plans to fix the issue with DSTM not being able to report WATT (and therefore SOL/W) for 1050Ti GPUs? See below:  Thanks! |

Very cool. I modified (thanks Stubo) my html to pull stats directly from the miners I'm running, so I get this:  |

Got back from doctor about ready to open the box of 10 mobos.
here is a box of ten I will be contacting people on the list about these tonight.   Looking good! I'm in VA Phil. Just let me know total and I'll pay. I milked the NiceHash "renters" for as long as I could, but I'm back to ZEC on MPH again. Was a decent ride though! I did break down and order a COLORFUL C.B250A-BTC PLUS from a fellow on ebay as well. Just can't stand risers. Been fighting a rig with 1070's (on risers) this evening. Finally got it going after swapping out 3 of 6 risers, geez. 007 with slide locks are "bad". 006c with slide locks are better. 007 with 'lever' locks are the best, but hard to come by atm. |

What really sweetens the deal is when you get $25 deposited in your paypal for spending $350+ at newegg. Been buying 1 Vega every few days at $399. You just have to signup on retailmenot with the same paypal email address you use for newegg. https://www.retailmenot.com/view/newegg.com?c=9293714Very cool. I just signed up. Do I need to complete the purchase on newegg using Paypal, or just do it the way I normally do (credit card)? I don't see an option to switch to paypal is a payment option, hence the question. My newegg and paypal email addresses already matches. Thanks! |

Is anyone dual mining ZEC and XMR? I see in 1bash where it is possible to enable mining XMR on the CPU. I see this in 1bash: # Mine XMR with CPU
plusCPU="NO" # YES NO
threadCOUNT="1" # Number of threads for plusCPU: varies per CPU
and # if plusCPU is "YES" replace with your XMR info
XMR_WORKER=$WORKERNAME
XMR_ADDRESS="replace_with_your_XMR_address"
XMR_POOL="xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org:14444"
Both of the above are pretty straight forward. But then we have this: if [ $COIN == "XMR" -o $COIN == "KRB" ]
then
POWERLIMIT_WATTS=62
__CORE_OVERCLOCK=155
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=-300
fi
Can I assume it will get ignored when I'm CPU mining XMR? And last but not least, assuming I have a decent CPU to begin with, will dual mining ZEC (on GPU) and XMR on CPU, impact GPU mining performance and/or stability? |

I upgraded all my rigs to 0.5.4 and the only issue I have noticed is that my 1050Ti rig is not reporting power usage via the telemetry interface. I see it here:  But not here:  The odd thing is that none of my other rigs have this issue:  Go figure. |
|
|

zm 0.5.4 is out which adds some nice improvements to the telemetry interface. I have rolled it out on all my nvOC 0019-1.4 rigs with no issues. I know it has been discussed recently and I hope to see a way to collect data from multiple rigs and present it in a single browser window. With the 0.5.4 update, the telemetry now looks like this: Which I think is a nicer view into what your rigs are doing than this:  But this 2nd view does provide some nice nvOS specific data. Some sort of dashboard view of all your rigs would be very nice. It would of course depend on what miner(s) you're running to pull the stats to collect them into a consistent view. |

I use a 15 inch infinite baffle driver along with 2x 10 inch scanspeak subs less power but I think it sounds okay. speaker building is the reason my house is wired great for mining.  I've always been wanting to try an infinite baffle system. Might still do that one day. They can be very efficient from what I hear. I built my sub cabinets myself. 1" MDF with oak internal bracing and everything glued and screwed together and then glued and bolted directly to a cinder block wall. The system is "one" with the house.  These are 6" PVC pipes used for tuning the ports to give a sense of scale:   Snap on cover build on custom frame:  A view of the back of the sub cabinets. It's those big grey things behind the mining rack, one stacked on top of the other. |
