Hey guys!
I had a question : Is there any possibility you could guide me through - How can I mine GoByte(GBX)?
I hope someone can help me  Smiley

Hey guys. Srsly nvOc Is amazing!!!
All rigs goin like monsters over here. Just one question.
One Rig does not want to launch any kind of miners.
Whenever I put "ETH" with my address and all it shows something about stratum.
Whenever I try to mine ZEC ( which is my main coin ) There is simply Nothing I Can do, it shows "there is no screen to be attached matching miner"
I double checked and still - there is no mining coming out from the rig. Anyone had this problem before?

Hey guys,

After installing the current version and having no experience with Linux at all, I'm having 2 issues, can you help?

1. I cannot view the miner, typing in "screen -r miner" in the terminal and pressing enter does nothing. Is that the correct place?

2. I switched over to nvOC because i have a rig of 1060s 3GB (MSI Gaming X) and windows does not allow me to go below 100W per card. Even though the cards are close to 300 Sol/s they are very inefficient and my power is expensive. Setting the wattage to a number below 100W on nvOC leads to an error message along the lines of "this wattage will be ignored, values for this GPU needs to be between 100W and 200W". Is there some way for me to bypass this? I saw one card running once on windows with 60W and 240 Sol/s for around 3 minutes, i'd be very glad with a limit of 80 or 75W.

Thank you very much for your help, the OS was really easy to set up and runs fine, very impressed!

Dont know about the second one.
First one - you have to screen miner in guake terminal. Just hit f12 key and type screen -r miner

Another thing.
How can I add email so that nanopool can send me emails when my rig goes offline?
Mining Zcash in nvOC with EWBF
Maybe there are other tools that can give me notifications on phone
thanks

Guys, I still have the freezing problem. Even with different motherboards and different usb's.
Rly the only solution is to get an ssd?

Hello there. I must say- Amazing stuff here.
Just had a one question. My Riggs sometimes restarts and when they do, after restart they enter in bios because the USB isn't recognized. I have to manually replug USB and then it boots up again.
I have a AsRock h110 BTC+ board and a 3.0 16gb usb stick

If you haven't tried this already, go into bios, under the "Boot" tab you have setting for "Fast Boot", set this to "Disabled". You can also increase "Setup Prompt Timeout" to 2 or 3 seconds. If that doesn't help you would have to try another USB stick (or buy the cheapest SSD).


So, is it freezing problem or is it system not detecting USB stick when it restarts, or both?
Have you tried the bios settings that I suggested?

Now, about the freezing... (which would eventually trigger the watchdog to reboot the system...). If it haapens with different motherboards and different USB's, getting a SSD wouldn't help much if something else is causing the freezing. There are few things that could cause freezing (most common):

1. excessive overclocking - reduce overclock, increase power limit
2. bad risers - replace riser
3. power strugle - make sure you don't draw more than 80% of the listed power supply rating; don't connect more than 2 risers to one SATA cable (eventually 3 for for 1050's and 1060's); check for loose connections
4. bad GPU - disconnect one by one to troubleshoot
5. bad USB stick or slow USB stick - replace it
6. bad bios setting - load default/optimized settings, enable 4g, set to (Gen1 or Gen2), disable on-board video
7. bad/damaged image of nvOC - reimage
8. bug in nvOC - update to the latest version

Give more details, error messages, screenshots, OC values. It's not easy to troubleshoot blindly


These are excellent troubleshooting suggestions.

Guys, I still have the freezing problem. Even with different motherboards and different usb's.
Rly the only solution is to get an ssd?

Please post your full rig component list (plus if using multiple PSUs how they are used / if they are joined / if they are connected to the same circuit) , the mining client / coin selection you are using.  



Ok here it is. Yesterday all my rigs went bananas and froze one by one with an aprox. 1 hour gap.
1)First Rig was : Asus Mining Expert motherboard / 8gb Ballistix RAM / 13X Asus Dual GTX 1070 / 3 PSU's - Into the Motherboard (2800w psu, 730w psu, 730w, psu) / CPU - intel celeron g3900 / SSD - Kingston 120gb / Risers - 006c.  / Mining Zcash with 3_4 /** Maybe you know something about this motherboard, it just doesnt turn on with more than 13 GPU's. So I'm stuck with only 13. Just shows Black screen and I am forced to shutdown**

2)Second Rig was : Asus ( I cant remember The model, but it was lga 1151 with 5 PCie slots) / 4X GTX 1060 6gb / 1X MSI p106-100 Minning / RAM - 4gb Kingston / CPU - intel celeron g3900 / Runs USB 3.0 16 gb / PSU - 1000 w EVGA / riser - 0006c . **This restarded After I remotely switched it from mining eth to zcoin and it restarted and did not boot up.**

3)Third Rig was : Motherboard AsRock h110 BTC + / RAM : 4gb Kingston / 10X GTX ASUS DUAL 1070 / 1X GTX PNY BLOWER 1080 ti / CPU - intel celeron g3900 / SSD - 120 gb Kingston / PSU - 2800 w paired with 730 w psu directly into motherboard (paired with the special 2in1 psu cable) / Risers - 0006c / Mining Zcash with 3_4 /  **No clue how it went down, but It just froze up screen.

4)Fourth and the last went down this : AsRock h110 BTC + / Ram : 4gb Kingston / 8X GTX ASUS DUAL 1070 / CPU - intel celeron g3900 / SSD - 120gb Kingston / PSU - 2800 w / Risers - 0006c / Mining Zcash with 3_4 **Just froze up just like the 3rd one.

Last man standing was Motherboard : TB250-BTC+ Ver. 6.x / RAM : 4GB Kingston / 8X GTX ASUS DUAL 1070 / CPU - intel celeron g3900 / SSD - 120gb Kingston / PSU - 2800w / Risers - 0006c / Mining Zcash with 3_4

PS. Could you possibly drop in some Guide how to configure nvOC for ZCoin?

pss. My restartlogs for 3rd rig “Sun Oct  1 20:03:39 EDT 2017 - Lost GPU so restarting system. Found GPU's:

Unable to determine the device handle for GPU 0000:0F:00.0: GPU is lost.  Reboot the system to recover this GPU”
Another update: Just while standing besides rig, It went “tick” that kind of noise like a power on sound and all cards stopped working.
My clocks for everything is 100 core 500 mem

Here is a screenshot from wdog

Ok guys I've been struggling for a few days now.
-First I did as guide said. Installed everything smoothly on usb flash drive. 16 gb 3.0 flashdriver. Everything went smoothly until freezes started.
-Then I Changed my USB Drives. Bought a new one and The freezes still happened.
-I switched to usb 2.0 - It still didnt work.
-Then I installed on 120 gb ssd disk, which should perform amazingly better the all the other options. Well not, The rig still freezes.
 * I've changed settings in bios
-Turned off onboard gpu
-Switched from auto to 2Gen
-Disabled fast boot.
 *The problem with usb was, It would do a restart and after a restart it went straight into bios without recognizing my usb flash drive. The ssd on the other hand, just freezes without any reboots or anything.
- Someone suggested I should check the risers but they are all fine. Brand new. The GPU'S are brand new and everything seems to be recognized in the Terminal. The hashes are fine and everything. Any other sultions? Im helpless, my Rigg just goes down sometimes after a 1 hour sometimes after 6 hours.
PS. My internet connection is fine because all the other rigs run on the connection with the same brand SSD's, OS and does just fine.

My setup : H110 Pro BTC+ (Motherboard) / 13 X GTX 1070 Asus Dual / 2x 4GB Kingston Ram / Kingston 120 gb SSD / Some fine ass 1151 socket Intel /Risers are classical 6pin 006c ver / OS : nvOC 19

Will marry you if you help me!


Some suggestions:
- I would take a few gpu's out (try booting with 10, or 9, as low as it'll go until you're sure it's stable) for example - sometimes too much strain on the PSU causes unstable voltages and when you loose a gpu you freeze.
- Check if the PCIE risers that actually plug into the board are not overheating and melting the solder (yes possible - I had to put electrical tape on some risers because the soldering would melt and start touching the adjacent connectors - I read on the forum others had that issue as well).
- make sure both molexes are plugged into the Asrock board as well as the SATA power board connector
I also disable all audio/hd audio/sata and other unnecessary controllers.
But I think the most likely candidate is the PSU not providing stable voltage across all the cables  (or dual PSU connectors if you have those)




I have 2800 w Psu and 1 extra 700 watt that powers 2x cards.

k any cables getting hot? risers melting?
I would start by taking the 2 cards off the 700W to see if you're stable on just one PSU
you can also try putting a power limit on the cards in 1bash to something low like 100w and test stability that way.
Sometimes there is just a bad card that crashes (check 5_restartlog) if nothing there, uncheck erase logs from 1bash and check the logs after crash.


Ok thanks! I will try to check that tomorrow. Problem Is my rig is remote, so every time it goes down it is another 12 hours offline

Hello there. I must say- Amazing stuff here.
Just had a one question. My Riggs sometimes restarts and when they do, after restart they enter in bios because the USB isn't recognized. I have to manually replug USB and then it boots up again.
I have a AsRock h110 BTC+ board and a 3.0 16gb usb stick

I've had this bug too on the same boards, unfortunately you need to power cycle, or get an SRR to listen for a hearbeat and do it for you after it stops. (https://simplemining.net/download/SRR/PDF/SRR-manual-2017-02-10.pdf)

Maybe others have a different solution, but for a remote location this one works reliably for me.

Thanks, this is amazing stuff tho there is one problem with this.
Whenever my computer restarts, It does not recognize the usb until I re-plug it. It just boots straight into bios without doing anything and there is no boot devices available.
