Hi Guys. Am trying to consolidate data on how to properly overclock for different algorithms. It will be a public spreadsheet so the community can benefit. Hopefully, the veterans in this thread can chime in and recommend how to OC for each algo i.e. for ethash: min core/max mem for equihash: max core/min mem <-- not sure about this Thanks in advance. Here is the sheet opened for COMMENT: https://goo.gl/SLjsaA Does anyone mine with neoscrypt? I would appreciate any advice on OC. |

How many cards is that your running? seen the 1080ti labels, rig 1 seems like 2x1080ti's and rig 2 im unsure on.. seems like 2x1080ti +1080? Just curious, im looking to make a change.. my earnings lately have been terrible on zpool... with 18x 1080ti's i made a whole 0.0189btc in 24hrs of mining.... zcash is down big time on nicehash so I switched to zpool skein a couple days ago. running 14x 1080ti, 1x1080, 1x1070, 1x980ti. about $15-20 more a day than nicehash. how do you make more on skein over equihash? I just tried and i am getting a lot lower on skein.. |

Suddenly getting "ERROR: Cannot connect to the pool" on ewbf. I have been mining fine on nicehash for few weeks. Does anyone else get this?
EDIT: I think something wrong with nicehash USA server? Changed server to EU and it is fine. Is USA server down?

so i have been mining for a while on nicehash to their wallet. I wanna try out some other places. Where do you mine with your 1080 ti + 1070 rig? I see zpool being mentioned here a few times. How are they compared to nicehash?

Need some help with cable so I have this vga cable that goes from [8 pin male] to [6+2pin male and 6 pin male] but my GPU needs two 8 pin power. I used one of these 8 pin splitter that comes with the GPU and connected on 6 pin male so I can connect two 8 pins with this one cable. Would it be safe to connect like this? I am leaving one end of splitter unconnected. Please take a look at the pic. https://imgur.com/a/fXcbK  |

is there a way to auto restart EWBF miner if miner or GPU has a problem ? like watchdog for claymore ?
Try this:
:restart
Timeout /t 30
miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --user t1cURHbxrB4xtBNaPH5xLFWE9CvPU5XQcFZ.ew --pass x --port 3333 --fee 0 --eexit 3 --log 1 --pec
ping 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto :restart
Does that go in the miner batch file? Also (newb question) how do I get the IP address? This starts the miner and also monitors it The IP address is a standard host only IP address that the program puts out for monitoring I once had a power shell script that would monitor any mining software but I can't find it anywhere took me forever but i found it https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0614dRHRS0RYXRnNWtpeWRjbDg/view?usp=sharingThanks for sharing. With my limited knowledge, I changed things around for my ewbf miner but it keeps restarting when it is working well. I think it is because of this argument "if($global:count -gt 5)". What does that exactly imply? The Global count is number of times the gpu goes to 0 after 5 times it restarts the program I wrote some of this back when zec miners first came out. I update it soon for ewbf miner I would appreciate that. I tried to figure out a way to get it work for couple hours couldnt get it to fully work  Right now, just wrote a short script to have it restart every hour lol Not the worst I guess. |

@storx
I am guessing you are mining at Nicehash.
You can goto whattomine.com to see the difference in profitability between mining direct and Nicehash marketplace.
With ETH price so high now, that difference is huge almost 15-20%.
My ETH farm mines to ethpool and dwarfpool, and collecting ETH coins back to Coinbase.
Compared this to ZEC mining, I prefer Nicehash because you get paid in BTC upfront without the coin confirmation BS -- I also find the ZEC pools too sluggish and struggles whenever diff level goes up.
Regarding Nicehash, what is the best way to get the payout? I am looking through their fees and it is so confusing and they dont seem to let you choose payout threshold. I feel like mining to their wallet and withdrawing later is the best way? (2% payout fee + 0.3% withdrawl fee for nicehash wallet compared to 3% or 4% payout fee to external wallet) |

Been mining fine for a while then realized my ewbf miner goes to 0sol/s once a while and gets stuck there. It starts working fine if I just restart the miner. I guess the GPU just drops from the miner and it is just stuck there. Does anyone have same issue? Is there any script or option to make the miner restart when GPU drops?

idiot of the day is here
I just built my first rig today and placed the motherboard on top of a conductive stainless shelf.. tried to power on for like an hour wondering what the hell is wrong with my build.. It was powering on and off at one point too... Eventually figured out and got it working but how bad is this? lol System is running fine but I am wondering if I made any damage to the board. This is like the dumbest thing ever smh
Are there any burnt components or places? Power it up and you will see if it's working. as far as i can see I dont see any burnt mark and system seems to run well. so far.. For best & cheapest result -- just use 2 planks of 2x2 wood as the base. Alternatively, if your mobo came with a strofoam-like sheet in the static bag - you can use that as base too. That sheet is allegedly made of fire/heat-resistant material -- i have a 1.5 year old Asrock-H81 mobo that is still on that sheet of foam mining 24x7. I use a wooden base meant for pots/plants from the $2 shop for all my miners -- its cheap, practical and does the job. Like xleejohnx mentioned, modern mobos have several safeguards for accidental short-circuits, like protective coating, humidifier etc. too  Currently, it is on top of flattened package box (pretty thin though). Is that a good idea? Kinda feel like a fire hazard. Where can I find this wooden base? I got 0 exp in gardening.. idiot of the day is here

Almost all computer parts have a protective coating on them to help prevent little accidents like this thank god. It seems to be fine. Also been working fine for 24+ hours now. |

Anyone knows how much power risers draw? Also, what should be the max load for PSU I should shoot for? 85%? 90%?

there are 9 slots so wouldnt have problem connecting them. I am planning to run them at around 75% TDP. Trying with a few cards already and @75% I am getting 190w for ti and 140w for 1070 on ewbf miner right now. Would 1600w be enough to handle them?

Hi guys
Would it be okay to run 3 1080 ti and 4 1070 with only 1600w PSU (supernova P2)?
it looks like it come out to about 1506w TDP combined including other components

Any specific driver to use for 1080ti and 1070? getting 700 on ewbf/nicehash.

Phil , could you sum up about prices :
what are the best prices you ever paid for new 1070 , 1080 and 1080TI ?
Thanks a lot
The best I've found... 1070 - $319 1080 - $419 1080ti - $639 Depending on where you live you'll have sales tax on those as well. Due to demand it's pretty much impossible to hit those prices right now though I purchased a 1080ti today for 570 new with full warranty. all time best price ever  I will show how.. I am just about capped on my account I am at 470 bucks earned for this cycle max is 30. but if you don't have a lot of ebucks for the cycle you will get 70 off this card   Have you tried out those asus 1080 ti yet? I have been wondering last couple of weeks why only this model is so cheap... |

can you guys recommend which type of risers I should use? Getting mixed opinions everywhere. I was gonna go with sata risers directly to 6 pins but heard it is dangerous. What is the safest way to power risers?
I personally prefer PCIE 6pin type (riser version 6?) so that I can reuse my 6pin PCIE cables especially when using server PSU. I have many SATA powered risers in production now and all ok so far. I guess its a matter of good quality build instead of "dangerous", and if your SATA cable connects via molex onto the riser -- ensure that its tight and secured. I suspect that the real danger is when low quality molex doesn't get in proper contact or loosely contact with the 4 pins -- thats where trouble starts... ie. sparks, fire hazard, damaged riser eventually over time. For risers I usually take good look on the quality of the USB3 cable... the ones that are "fat" or shielded likely have 100% uptime compared to the flimsy ... phone charger looking type USB cables... so with PCIE 6 pin risers, you go 6 pin to 6 pin cable directly without using any adaptor? its like a Y cable (one for GPU and one for riser) .... one single cable that goes back to server PSU look closely here.... one cable splits into 2 pci connector, an 8pin for GPU and 6pin for riser... this way power goes to both devices at the same time so consistency perhaps makes a stable rig....  Is the cable something like this? http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/3gkAAOSwiQ9ZPZn6/s-l1600.jpg6 pin female goes to PSU then 6+2pin male to your GPU and 6 pin male to riser. is it okay to leave 2 pin unconnected and just connect 6 pin tho? if you are using ATX PSU, you need 8 pins but if server psu the breakout boards are usually 6pin leaving the 2 pin out is fine -- quite flexible these 6+2 connectors I never thought of connecting it this way. Most people's setup has separate cables powering risers and GPUs. This is not a bad idea as you explained the reason. so 8 pins to two 6+2pins cable would work same way? Thank you for the enlightment. |
