This rig "was" a clean install - however steps were:

• Clean Windows 10 v1709
• Windows Update to 26 Feb 2018
• Disabled Windows Update Services
• Did not put system into Metered Mode
• Connected 1-6 GPU
• Didnt see how many Display Adapters were detected
• Installed AMD Drivers
• ... here I am!!!

In the past when setting up Windows I never had issues doing Windows Updates and never had any other issues as I would simply disable the Windows Update services which disables most updates.

Nonetheless, Im going to setup an EthOS USB and just do a simple run and see if that detects the 6 GPU - if that does detect 6, then yes its a Wonderful Windows Update issue yet again wasting my time.

Will keep this thread posted just in case anyone else have a similar issue.

Did a DDU and it appears only 5 devices are detected. I think I have a faulty Mobo IMO!

Power Supply

• 2400 Watt 92% Server PSU 240V
• 4 Separate Rails with each rail having 2 GPU and 2 Riser
• Assume 140W p/GPU - definitely below 50%

Risers & Cables

• Checked and all Replaced
• Swapped and Re-Seated all GPU
• Tried with 3 GPU in different positions and PCIe slots - no difference

Windows

• Only tried Windows 10 v1709
• I had tried 2 months ago on a different rig without issues
• 60GB Virtual RAM

AMD Drivers

• Only tried 18.2.3 on this rig
• Downloading - DDU - Installing v17.11.4

MOBO BIOS Settings

• 4G Enabled
• Gen 2 for PCIE
• Fast Boot Disabled

Also note all GPU has stock BIOS so atikmdag-patcher-1.4.6 wouldn't be useful.

I do not know if its Windows as I only use Windows to Update and test settings - not actually a live rig. I have setup Windows in past with 6-8 GPU no issues which is why its annoying me and also on the same board.

Anyways - DDU and installing 17.11.4 currently... see how this turns out!

Has anyone had any issues with Windows 10 v1709 with AMD Adrenalin 18.2.3 detecting 1 less GPU?

I have tried 3-6 GPUs and it didnt matter what order, there is always 1 GPU not detected - ie. not even in Device Manager saying invalid driver or faulty, just nothing!

Yes I have done DDU several times without success and no I have not tried 2 GPU.

I will try with EthOS tonight/tomorrow and see if that can detect 6, however thought I'd ask before I try a different OS.

Hi, just wanted to add my IP as a Masternode for lite wallets in Melbourne Australia: 158.140.206.99

Just confirming you need to update to 1.2.6 or manually install Claymore-XMR to mine cryptonight to Nicehash. SGMiner will not work on EthOS to Nicehash currently that I am aware of.

Ergh didnt realise I got replies!!! 

Well even if you include electroneum.space as of today, there is still a large gap of "unknown" pools really.

I cant seem to really guage what the networks are thanks to the many lovely DOS providers - can you DOS BTC so that supply decreases and my BTC goes up!!!

Can someone please explain what I seem to be missing?

According to various Mining Pool, the NETWORK HASH RATE is about 140 MH/s.

Now, from what I understand, the various pools I am aware of:

• 1 MH/s - eupool.electroneum.com
• 1 MH/s - uspool.electroneum.com
• 1 MH/s - asiapool.electroneum.com
• 20+ MH/s - electroneum.hashparty.io
• 20+ MH/s - eu2.electromine.fr
• 20 MH/s - other Large pools >1 MH/s
• 1 MH/s - other Small pools <1 MH/s
• 50+ MH/s Server

I am making a very large assumption with the pools hash rate above as they are always changing, but where the hell is the remaining pools hiding - is this part of a ghost network that the devs maintain or how does it work?

I have been having this issue over the last 3 days. I have tried USA, EU, HK, JP pools and all are the same for me.


With me, my project went down accordingly to that rig failing. I have reported to Nicehash yesterday, however still no reply.


EthOS is an Ubuntu-based OS specifcally for Ethereum mining - however can be used to mine altcoins with little support IMO and FAQ outside of Ethereum.

Eth0 (Ethernet Zero) I am assuming is what you are referring to is a NIC Interface.

From what I knew, CCMiner was for nVidia primarily - however if you can advise on the settings I will definitely give it a try as EthOS doesnt give much example for CCMiner or its config.

The settings is actually 2 parts, the top part being the local.conf and the second being the sgminer-gm-xmr.stub.conf file. However I have tried not setting anything in either the local or the sgminer and it didnt make any difference! 

BTW I have AMD 580 on the rig if that makes any difference.

I added the tag #xnsub and the miner didnt start even after 5 mins. However I didnt mention NiceHash recognises the rig however hashing is 0.

Is anyone using EthOS able to mine Cruptonight on Nicehash pool? I have 2 small rigs and want to mine NiceHas Cryptonight pool, however running into lots of issues.

I can start the miner - appears to work ok on the miner, however Nicehash is not registering the rig?

I can mine other Cryptonight AltCoins like Sumo and KRB without issues, just cant mine NiceHash pool.

Anyone willing to share their secret or the switch Im missing?
