I'm interested in mobo-cpu-ram-ssd, if you have someone who wants to buy cards alone, I'd take the setup for the rest. 6 Card mobo setup is good.

Dear Coyn

im using claymore 9.1 for ethereum

but the sistem are using only 2148 mb in use on each card

my vga card is a sapphire rx470 4gb (modded bios)

The mh/s are ok, but why only using 2gb Huh have one type to use 4gb and increase the hashrate(mh/s) ?

Thanks
Almir



The 8.1 software gave me a 100% core/mem usage non-stop. Now this new miner gives me more pasc, but the mining is unstable. It drops to 75% once every 10 seconds. (see picture)

http://imgur.com/a/xVK4I  (first line is 8.1 stable. then second line is 9.1 unstable)

What is wrong here? Just the software?

It only uses as much memory as the size of the Dag file. That's the size of the current dag.

Seems like people just don't have answers, or don't want to share them. I've been trying to figure it out myself for a couple days now to no avail.

Claymore's sequence is finicky, it doesn't always show the order correctly. For GPU-z and Watttool, they should both show the same order, and NORMALLY, it's the order that they're plugged into the mobo, but again, I'd suggest just using what I said to make sure.
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which card is which? on: April 18, 2017, 04:02:21 PM
Turn off the cards 1 at a time in claymore. Whatever monitoring tool you use, check which card goes way down in power consumption/usage. Your fan can stay high, but those numbers WILL go down when you turn the card off in claymore.
46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / 6 GPU Mining Mobo - Kaby Lake on: April 18, 2017, 03:27:39 PM
Does anyone know of a 6 GPU Mining mobo that works (without a skylake cpu to do a bios update) with a Kaby Lake. I have a G3930 processor, DDR4 ram, and need a mobo that works with that.

I've tried 2 different mobo's so far, and I can't get either to work with more than 4 cards. Does anyone have a suggestion for a board that they know works?
47  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining motherboards on: April 18, 2017, 01:48:56 AM
Try Win10 pro

tried pro now, with using GPT and UEFI, still max of 4 cards.

For a while I had 1 MSI Armor 480 4g and 2x Visiontek 470 4gbs reference cards in an Enthroo Pro full tower case. I had the Armor on top and the 2 visions below. Ambient temp was about 70-73 F. Cards sat about 75C with fans around 70%. 1 200 in the front as intake, the fan that came with it. 1 rosewill 120 Fan on the HDD bay inside to push air. 1 140 on the back as exhaust, fan that came with it, and 2x Corsair 140 AF series on top for exhaust. My HDD bays are completely full as well, 5x HDD's and 1 SSD. It kept decently cool for everything I had in there, but the noise from those fans was so bad.

I currently have 6 GPUS, and am looking for a mobo that can support all 6. I have a KabyLake CPU and DDR4 ram. Does anyone have a good suggestion for that? And if so, what special settings and install do I have to do to make it all work. I keep seeing all these different posts about it all, and I can't figure out how to get 6 cards working on my mobo's. Currently I have a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS4FTP1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I can't get more than 4 cards to work at once. I have all RX470's, 4GB versions, does that make a difference?

What operating system are you running?  I had the same problem with only being able to run 4 cards on Win 7.  Changed to Win 10 and they all run great.  Probably not a hardware issue but a software issue...
Running Win10 home, also tried simplemining.nets Linux and the same thing, only reads a max of 4 cards.

Does anyone have an recommendations for a 6 GPU board to go with a KabyLake Processor/DDR4 Ram. I had a TB85 ordered, but it came DoA and of course newegg is out of stock. I have 4 of my 6 cards running on a backup board, but I need something, because I just have 2 cards sitting collecting dust right now.

Hi guys. Can anyone pls upload original bios for Hynix memory (rom) for Asus rx 470 4GB strix gaming (not OC), 1206 Mhz/1650 Mhz. I forgot to save mine because I thought it is already saved but that was elpida.

I have it for the OC version. If you can't find anyone else with one let me know and we can see if it works.

Anyone have an experience with MSI Gaming Intel B250 LGA 1151,

I can get it to recognize 4 GPUS, but thats it. On it's viewer in the Bios is see's the others as plugged in, but in Windows I can't get them to be recognized.

MSI B250 boards need Windows 10 to be installed on disk with GPT boot sector not the standard MBR.  Otherwise you just get a blank screen.

The bios needs to be adjusted in Advanced\PCI Subsystem Settings:
"PEG0 - Max Link Speed" =  PCIE 2.0
"Above 4GB memory/Crypto Currency mining" = Enabled



I don't just get a blank screen though. It works with 3, I said 4 before but apparently that was just a 1 time fluke. I've tried the Gen 2 and Above 4gb memory and neither of them fix it either.

Its chipset problem, that MBO was not made to support more than 4 GPUs. Sell it and buy AsRock PRO BTC or something...


The only reason I bought this is the ASRock and all the others meant for this are always out of stock.

Its probably very similar to the MSI Gaming 5 mobo. I have 7 GPU's running on it with no issue.

1. Go into BIOS and set PCI-e to Gen 1
2. Set PCI-e to 8x/4x/4x
3. Set Latency to 96 or one higher latency than that
4. Disable all unneeded settings like Audio, etc. (These all use PCIe lanes)
5. One GPU must be directly on Mobo.  I used a passive 16x ribbon cable for this
6. The other 6 cards are on Active Risers
7. Running Windows 10

So the mobo you have is probably similar so you have to split up the PCIe slot resources up in BIOS.  The problem is the processor only has 16 lanes to share that means a single slot so how manufacturers get around the processor limitation is they do a time sharing between all PCIe slots.  If you have a single 16x default time share it takes too long for it to share it with the smaller 4x slots on the mobo. Splitting it up to 8x/4x/4x means it shares 3 PCIe slots at same time.

You will need to use -gsm 1 at least for that many GPU's on a system.

Is there a specific setting for the 8/4/4? The only 3 settings for PCI are the Generation, Latency, and 4g Decoding. My Bios might not have a setting like you're talking about.

I bought this board from Amazon, so I can easily return it if needed, I've just gone through a couple boards trying to get a 6 card rig working. I have a Kaby-Lake CPU and DDR4 ram to use, so it limits be quite a bit on what I can go with.

If someone knows another Mobo that works pretty much plug n play with 6+ Gpus that works with a Kaby-Lake, let me know and I might just return this one.

Hey guys,

Having a strange one here with v9 in dual mode...

Rig 1 : 6 x GPU (mixture of RX470 & RX480 4GB & 8GB) all bios modded
Perfect, ETH hashrate is 1 MH higher than before and before Decred has nearly doubled - well happy.

Rig 2 : 5 x Sapphire RX 470 (Ref) all bios modded
DCR hash rate has nearly doubled as in the other rig but ETH has bombed. Gone from 28+ per card (with v8.1) down to 20 - 21 MH.

I've tried tuning the dcri (if I go up the DCR rate increases and ETH drops, if I go down DCR  drops AND ETH drops).

If I disable DCR mining the ETH hash rate goes back up to 28+ on each card.

Both rigs are running via VNC with HDMI dummy plugs if that helps.

Any suggestions?

** UPDATE **
Just tried -asm 0 and 3 of the cards are now running at 28+ again but two of them are still way under performing..

With -asm 0 :

Code:
GPU0 28.279 Mh/s, GPU1 23.385 Mh/s, GPU2 28.688 Mh/s, GPU3 22.781 Mh/s, GPU4 28.249 Mh/s

with -asm 1 :

Code:
GPU0 20.932 Mh/s, GPU1 21.144 Mh/s, GPU2 20.181 Mh/s, GPU3 21.051 Mh/s, GPU4 22.130 Mh/s

With v8.1 they were all at a constant 28+

Try -asm 0 with lightly changing the -dcri option. During runtime you can modify dcri with the + and - keys. Try that, and monitor each card. The stable dcri is a little different for each card. I have one asus strix 470 4g that needs to be at dcri 28, and another that needs to be a 24.

Cheers bro, I have tried tuning at runtime (see above) but wasn't able to figure out how to to that for each GPU at runtime, only all of them at once. Is there a key combo to tune each GPU individually? I know you can specify separate values in the bat file but can it be done at runtime also?

Sadly no, what I was suggesting was to tune the dcri, and just look at 1 GPU at a time. So start with GPU0, manually tune the value with + , -, find a stable one, write it down, then do the same thing on all the other cards, 1 at a time. Don't even look at the other cards when tuning 1 value, they can be running, but pay no attention to them.

It rarely happens though. So 16.11.5 That means bios check. I got to bypass signature check. I forget how to do so. But I think I can do that. Are you sure this is the issue? Anyone else have similar problem with I do?


I'm using 16.11.5 with modded strap bios with no issues. I don't know if it's only a difference if you're only modding the straps or not, but it works.

Hello. There is a message Catalyst 15.12 is REQUIRED. But I am unable to install such old version. Running 17.2.1 Crimson ReLive version. Is it ok for this miner or how to install the old version, if is required? Having RX 480 8 GB with 23.3 MH default or 24.1 MH with 1065/2250. Anyone help please?

16.11.5 Is the recommended drivers for most people now, try that instead.
Hi guys

First wanted to thank Claymore for awesome miner, been mining stable ETH+DCR for a while with no issues( after modding everything to the point im satisfied)

Want to share an issue that don't know why its happening, yesterday decided to give it a go to the new 9.0v to see if I can mine faster DCR while maintaining my current hash rate for ETH, it managed to double my hash rate for DCR while keeping my same hash rate on ETH but I get too many bad shares on DCR and the pool disconnects me, has anyone had the same issue? I placed the same command line i was using in 8.1v (Im doing all of this on Ubuntu latest version)

Had to revert for the moment to 8.1v again to be able to keep mining stable.

You have to edit the dcri value to try to find a stable setting in V9.0. While in runtime you can you + and - to change it, find stable values for each of your cards, and then set it in the batch file.

While mining on ethermine.org, my effective hashrate over 24 hours is always about 10-15 lower than my reported hashrate. Is this normal? And is that the # I'm getting paid off of?
