Hi, I am new in crypto mining created 9GPU rig with rx470 8gb. I mine with simple miner and set cloacking as the image . Problem is it get hang after few hours and required restart for run the rig again. Its on non ac room and i dont add any extra coller fan for gpu. Is the hit might be a issue? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FXMjMFtU.png&t=665&c=bHweAn6ahvOb9w) As long as your GPU's aren't getting much above those settings I would look at something else. Having said that, it's never a bad idea to add more cooling. I have a feeling with risers, much more they are the culprit try to isolate it thru running a single GPU on a PCIE x16 slot if it runs fine, you may have now the idea what might be the issue

I think -h 1792 is too much,my 580 8G can only handle 1200.....try lower to under 900 +++++++++++++
My RIG 6x 580 8g have -1152/each and workin just fine with Claymore v11.3. Windows 10 64x with Amd blockchain drivers.
Yep, seems it differs on pandaminer that couldn't handle such -h lowering to 900 make it sense

For amd cards, claymore took most of algos sticked to nvidia like blake and some algos before. He also did Neoscrypt miner for amd videocards. For now, amd as universal as nvidia cards. So if ETH gpu mining dies, there are lot of algos, even excluding monero and ETH forks
If Ethereum and Monero are out of the mining business for graphic cards I only see the Zec as the most valuable option to mine after Ethereum and Monero and it is not looking as profitable as Ethereum or Monero at all. I tried mining Musicoin with my 1060 3gb as in Windows 10 they can't mine ethereum anymore and profitability was just a bit less so I don't think there are a lot of other coins to mine except Zec and coins which are on Equihash algorithm like Bitcoin gold. There is a bunch of shitcoins to mine. But they are not stable and you probably will geet nothing on it. But there are some shitcoins that have proven insanely profitable. Just take a look at ravencoin for example. Started mining it when it was traded OTC at around 50 satoshis each. Look at it's value and difficulty now. All you need to do is pick the right coin. I was able to 100% ROI an entire rig in a week by doing this. I was too late on this, miners already noticed it, good for you dude I'm still looking on these kind of shitty alts, and still grasps as of the moment, searching for other shitty coins who could made such profitability is somewhat a trial and error with luck

Depends how much risk you are willing to take.
Mining is less risky, because youre investing into computer hardware that mostly maintains its re-sale value
Its always been my opinion that its easier to invest into a coin you believe in, then to buy, setup and maintain miners.
Mining does support the strength of the network and keeps another copy of the blockchain, so as an investor its probably in your best interest to help support that for the coins you believe in.
One of the main goals of a miners is to have the worth of the coins mined be higher than the cost of electricity to mine them. So that way a profit is being made.
I think mining is still totally worth it Id start with a CPU ONLY coin like BiblePay
Totally worth it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Of course no. But somehow somewere may be ... Depends on many conditions. At todays price, yep, still worth it, don't know when will it last seeing Green bars since last week, a good indicators of Crypto price back to rise if you know what you're doing, they can now give you a decent return btw I'm into GPU mining

I guess ASICs were also try to create a miner for Neoscrypt, they are not ASICs proof like the other big Coins Yet, they can fork to kick ASICs out, FPGA is much more flexible ETH and Zec are not interested doing forks as for them they don't see it as a priority for sure, there are already ASICs mining equihash out there

Can anyone tell me what the c=xvg means in dual mining bat file for verge mining?
Its a pools configuration, some pools offers different type of currency payouts, basically c=[Corresponds to your wallet type] copied this from pools "YOU MUST ALWAYS set your currency in your password field that matches your wallet address: c=<SYMBOL>. The pool has mined hundreds of different coins and many have the same address version. We CAN NOT read your mind and possible know what currency you want. If no c=<SYMBOL> is set, your currency will be randomly chosen from any matching coins we have used. This HAS TO BE A REAL EXCHANGE SYMBOL. Do not use a symbol that has an <ALGO> added. Such as XVG-blake2s or AUR-sha or DGB-skein, these are ALL WRONG. These are used only for the pool to support multi-algo coins. "

I made $90 today off a sub $1 electric cost.
No joke.
I wish I could tell you how but then people will start to figure it out and cut into my profits.
Let me guess You mined low diff coin you have a lot of bag coins for the day suddenly price goes up earn $$ in an instant ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) that's everybodys tellin about.. not relying what you see on calculators

Try to use, Overclocking tool such as MSI AB or Overdriven tool and play with clocks on the affected GPU card, much better if you install this solely without other cards while doing troubleshoots this is good read and also my reference for doing 1080ti clocks https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1940567.0The problem turned out to be that those 3 GPUs throttle at 67 degrees C, which is quite strange. The only assumption that i have is that such config is in their BIOS. I have tried different software like MSI AB, nothing has helped. The soonest they reach a temp of 67 C, the "memory controller load" drops from ~80% to ~50% then the hashrate drops from 750 Sol to 250 Sol I did not dare to manipulated an encrypted BIOS, so i just reduced the power limit from 100% to 70% and set the fan manually on 55%. this way i keep the temp between 55 to 65 without hitting the 67 limit that those GPUs have. I hope you find this helpful! Weird though, well at least you got his working spots, glad to hear

So my brother's pc has a NVidia 1060 6Gb but he only has a 550W power supply, gold certified if that's important.
So far I've only been able to mine Cyptonite and Skunk algorithm successfully. The rest of the algo's seems to cause his pc to restart after a few seconds of mining for some reason. I think it's probably his power supply.
I am using MSI Afterburner on his setup, but this doesn't seem to help him. Are there any optimal miner settings for low power supplies?
If its a single GPU card 550w is sufficient enough to power up 1060 even the heavy algo, it might be your clock or miner settings that made your rig to crash on mining. give us other information to help you out more what other algos you are mining what miner and settings your clock settings

lol that's the dumbest assumption ever, they cant test if its modded or not, ROFL dude manufactures MAKE the gpus why wouldn't they be able to test them to make sure you didn't put a modded bios on it? theres no logic in that, that said if they couldn't test them why on earth would they say anything about modded bios in the first place before you rma a gpu. also to the person whom mentioned ONE person doing the paper clip method and then rma'ing a gpu that's 1 person, I guarantee that doesn't always work. manufactures of these gpus can fix more than we think, likely chances are apon doing an rma your getting back one they previously fixed, not one that's brand new
Your logic may right, so they can check leonix card modded or not, even when leonix card was totally bricked. Then leonix got a new card (brand-new / fixed card or whatever) means what? They know leonix have modded that card but they replace it or may fix it. Let's call it luck, but what wrong with trying to RMA. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) OP As I said before on page one, as long as your cards detected by systems, you can do a smooth repair. A few suggestions have mentioned here. I may call it a luck? or whatsoever, I got my new card now, rocking all day long again ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) sure thing, manufacturers can do things we cant see, however my supplier replaced it, got no questions about it, and sure thing its a modded card.. you can't call it a dumb thing, its an actual scene..

Hi there
This config for normalv7, i set intensity, fixed value (example: 44) ----> it's run and has good hash (for xmr coin) { /* Type can be : normal, normalv7, lite, litev7, heavy, ultraheavy */ "cryptonight_type" : "normalv7",
/* Intensity 0-> auto intensity, or value from 1-200 */ "intensity" : 44,
/* To use 2 threads per card set double_threads to true */ "double_threads" : true,
but i change to heavy, it's not run and has bug (for sumo coin) { /* Type can be : normal, normalv7, lite, litev7, heavy, ultraheavy */ "cryptonight_type" : "heavy",
/* Intensity 0-> auto intensity, or value from 1-200 */ "intensity" : 44,
/* To use 2 threads per card set double_threads to true */ "double_threads" : true,
Please help me
hi there u must use half intensity heavy using double memory try 22 instead of 44 That it's mean the hash of heavy always lower than normalv7 ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) that might be true, try setting them to '0' to use the safest intensity then double_threads" : false

. he cant RMA you dumbass, any gpu with a modified bios gets claims denied automatically and then you are SHIT out of luck. tired of people handing out super crap information without knowing shit. anyone with half a brain and has RMA'ed a gpu before knows that you CANT rma a gpu with a modified bios as they check it and will deny your claim, its in there fine print and its also stated before you submit the RMA form. its all there in black and white And you are a kind of people that didn't read before comment. Just look at to link that I gave to OP (bolded), scroll down a bit msg #33. Someone with bricked GPU (after modded of course) tried 1-8 jumper method and failed. Then RMA-ing it without issue. You call someone as dumbass easily. Please respect other. Or may I need to quoting here, so you can see that clearly: If you're certain it's bricked and next step is RMA, then try the paper clip trick. Scary, but worked on mine (flashed the wrong bios)...
My card is still under warranty, so I'd rather not try this. tried this, totally not worked on my reference card, It seems its really dead, already sent to my supplier for warranties and guess what, they don't ask if its modded or not.. Lol ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I laugh hard reading this.. Actually the OP and I have different scenes, My card is totally dead that couldn't even detect in Bios, there were no signs of fan spinnings or LED lights so basically I've got no problem RMA'ing it (they can't test if its modded or not) @OP, you don't do the jumper thing, just reflash your GPU with the correct Bios and you're done.

Will you posting a tutorial on how to get started? My experience level on running a miner is 0. This will be the first one so need step by step instructions on what commands to type in. Will be using the updated version of your windows 1.0.4a release. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks. this is same miner other app out there, download the files extracting them create .bat files with the ff: ./rvwf_miner -o stratum+tcp://server:port -u WALLET -p x -e

hi there u must use half intensity heavy using double memory try 22 instead of 44 Or better switch to Auto mode "0", then observe which is the safest intensity used by the miner, you will now have your reference to use on each card.

still it doesn't clearly identify the reasons on why one mining rig can't be done in a home.
comfortably? - either a small room, one rig with 8 GPU is not that big, unless you are using a server type PSU and have a hell lot of noise
My friend and I purchased 12 miners and we ended up not having enough space to run them at home. 12 cards, can be made one or two rigs, seem like no need too much space. You can build vertical open-air rig case for reducing the dimension. How about electricity issue? Like I said above, you can start to run half of your total card if your electric power isn't enough to run all of your cards. As your reference:He Says 12miners.. I was thinking on a 12 mining Rigs ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) however it could go more than 1600w so probably you're right he refers to 12 GPU's. 12 GPU's still sufficient in a standard room and could be assembled in a single rig

did the 10 GPU all connected to a single rig? Yes, the 10 GPUs are all connected to the same rig If i run one GPU or 3 or 7 or 10, always the same 3 GPUs will underperform and the 7 will perform well, which makes me doubtful that it is some resource issue from the rig. Also i unplugged the power cable from a high performing GPU and plugged into a low poerforming GPU and did not help, I also took the powered riser from the high performing GPU to a low performing GPU and did not help
hows your PSU setup? Evga 1600 has 4 GPUs BeQuite 1200 has 3 GPUs But again, with one single GPU on the Evga 1600 the bad performing GPU will still perform bad
with that number of GPU's, try to set higher Virtual mem I have 80 GB virtual memory With one single GPU still it will slow down to ~250 to ~350
also how do you do your clocks? Default only
try to do downclock a bit just for isolations Which i reduce the intensity of the miner, the bad performing GPUs go up from 250 Sol to 350 Sol, but this is still very far from the 750 Sol or even just 700 Sol like all other GPUs
I tried several times to uninstall with DDU and reinstall all over again, no change I am wondering if it is a software issue? would reinstalling windows from scratch help? taking into consideration that no matter how i play around with the GPUs the low performers will always perform lower no matter if you give the the power cables and powered risers and PCIe slot of a high performer. makes me doubt if it is Windows issue
The only thing i could spot is the "memory controller load" I have googled it quite a bit with no success
Try to use, Overclocking tool such as MSI AB or Overdriven tool and play with clocks on the affected GPU card, much better if you install this solely without other cards while doing troubleshoots this is good read and also my reference for doing 1080ti clocks https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1940567.0

Hi All, I have 10 Zotac 1080 TI Extreme GPUs, running on windows 10, 64 bit. Windows updates & Nvidia drivers are all the latest I have 3 GPUs out of the 7, which start hashing at 750 Sol, but after few minutes they drop all the way down to ~300 or even ~250 I have tried different power risers, different PSUs, different PCIe slots, nothing has helped The same 3 GPUs will always start at 750 and go down to ~300 The same 7 GPUs will start at 750 and stay at the same level, no matter how i swap the PSUs, powered risers, slots, sockets, etc... The display is connected directly to the motherboard not to any GPU All GPUs has power state of P2, so i dont believe that one will do 750 and the other 250 because of this I tried different miners, but the two showed absolutely the same result. 3 GPUs badly perform and 7 perform very well I noticed that "memory controller load" on the high performing GPUs is about 80% while on the badly performing GPUs is around 55%, using Hardware Info software. Is this the root cause? Any idea how can i fix this?
did the 10 GPU all connected to a single rig? hows your PSU setup? with that number of GPU's, try to set higher Virtual mem also how do you do your clocks? try to do downclock a bit just for isolations

Hello, until now I've been timidly investing in major cryptocurrencies (ETH mainly) and I didn't give a thought to mining, due to obvious reasons. But recently I've seen quite few opportunities to try an experience and I wanted to share with you guys, I hold an old rig with 4GB RAM and two GPUs working perfectly, even thought they are pretty old I'm getting confident I might be able to profit a bit with them. I warn, they are really old and definitely are years away from being able to mine Bitcoins or anything this big. It's two Nvidia, a GT 730 / 4GB and a Nvidia 9800GT/1GB, has anyone ever tried to mine with such specs before? I'm from Brazil, one of the most expensive countries for energy and the electricity costs are around 0,068USD/kWh (if I didn't convert wrongly). ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Here are some photos: https://i.imgur.com/cj9hzu7.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/oBb5EDY.jpgWhat do you guys think? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Aside from unprofitable, most algos doesn't support mining with it. the 1 GB one is obviously not for mining.
