wondering aswell, does anyone have a pool where you actually get what you're supposed to?

I'm just mining xvg-b2s at the side while mining eth, but i cant seem to find a proper pool


i think rewards are lowered because they moved their pool from pool.unimining.net to the dedicated one xvg.eu1.unimining.net
as you can see, more than 50% are still on the old pool, and profits are still split, they need to close down the old one, or people need to move to the new one themselves

got everything working perfectly, thanks for the answers

I'm running an ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ and adding 4 gpus to the already existingn 8 (all RX 580's 8GB) bios is currently not modded, will i still need the pixel patcher? I havn't used it before.

The whole reason why im switching drivers is because I need to run 17.11.4 drivers to get win 10 to recognize all cards in the first place, didnt think the pixel patcher was needed to achieve that aswell.


i deactivated win update in services.msc, i guess that should do the trick

Heyo!

How do you guys go about switching drivers?
Do you uninstall in safe mode using DDU?
Do you disconnect all GPUs apart from the x16 slot when installing new drivers?
Or do you just leave all of em in their slots?

Just tryna prepare my ass to save some time

I'm pretty sure Ive seen people use more than 8 AMD cards on windows before... there's also multiple posts in this forum regarding just that with people having no issues 

So I'm using an ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ with 3 PSU's i had layin around (2x 1k W + 1x 1,6k W - i know it's an overkill, but didnt have the cables/slots otherwise).

Thing is that it's only detecting 8 of my RX 580's. Although the 9th will show up as VGA Controller, while the first 8 show up as RX 580's.
I've read that I'll need the 1709 update for Win 10, which i am currently using (Win 10 Pro, if that matters), aswell as 17.11.4 AMD drivers, which I'm currently not using.
Will changing to those drivers fix my issue by any chance?
I'm currently using the Blockchain beta drivers because those gave me 31 Mh/s on a single card with OC. However for some reason after connecting the second one those cards each gave me about 20 Mh/s with OC.

I will uninstall the blockchain beta driver with DDU and get the 17.11.4 one, and I guess setting my cards to "compute" in the radeon settings will also fix the low hashrates, but will that also fix my detection issues?
I havn't changed any PCI-E settings in my BIOS yet, might give that a shot aswell.

So if anyone could assure me that one of the steps mentioned above will fix my issue, please shoot. I have to drive my ass out into the alps so it would be nice to have a strategy before I freeze to death. But hey! 5-8 °C room temperature and 0.06 $ kWh - shouldn't be complaining.  

Was already thinking about just using SMOS since apparently there's less hassle with card detection, however I only have one drive left and I guess I need two for flashing.
Also, I've added the first gpu to the 16x slot, then started filling from top to bottom since ASRocks mining guide says to do so.

Cheers!

It will only not recognize PCI-E M.2 SSDs because theres no pci-e lanes left. You can use a SATA M.2 SSD just fine.

ive heard people having issues, however ive also heard people having no issues whatsoever 

also, people reported that the 1x riser cards are too close to each other causing a short, hope that wont happen with mine 

meaning you have risers connected to a PSU which does not power the mainboard, but each riser connected to either PSU also powers the according GPU also has a GPU powered by the same PSU? did i understand that correctly?

edit: im havin trouble phrasing this sentence apparently, lol

All im trying to say is: a pack of riser + GPU in its slot, are both powered by the same PSU, meaning you dont have all risers connected to the PSU which powers the board

Heyo!

So im fairly new to mining but im in the process of building a 12 gpu rig on the Asrock H110 Pro BTC+.
However i've come across a ton of contradicting information so far.

So theres 2 molex connectors on the board itself, i guess to provide juice to the pci-e ports and i've read some posts saying that i should not use powered risers because of this... I highly doubt thats the case, but thats why I'm here asking you guys.

Apart from that, I'll be using 3 different PSU's to power my 12 Sapphire RX580 Pulse 8GB and the risers. Got those layin around aswell as just enough cables.
My question regarding this is the following: Some people said I will need to connect all the risers to the main PSU which powers the mainboard itself, while others said it's important to have each riser powered by the same PSU that powers the GPU connected to it. Now I'm confused, since I've found multiple contradicting infos and I have no clue what to believe... Does it simply not matter or does anyone in here actually know?

btw my PSUs are: EVGA 1600W G2, 2x EVGA 1000W P2 and the risers are: 5x Molex powered and 10x 6pin powered

Hope you guys can help me out!

Cheers!

Got my hands on 12 of those for quite a low price: http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=77B48A1E-9FCB-4F19-BC2D-17C3087E4852 they use 8pins for power

And I got those PSUs at home:

1x https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-P2-1600-X1

2x https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=120-G2-1000-XR

Im planning on getting 6pin powered risers aswell or some molex ones if needed

All those PSUs give me a total of 17 6Pin Ports and 21 8Pin Ports (although some of the 6pin ones are labeled SATA while some are labeled Perif, not sure if those are still compatible)

So i need to feed:

12x 8pins for the GPUs
12x 6pins for the Risers

Now I dont't know which would be the smartest way of getting the cabling done, and which additional cables i should get.
Can i power a riser + a GPU on one cable? I basically need to know on how many and wich cables i should split up which components.

Hope you guys can help me out, cheers!

dont worry i didnt order anything yet, thats why im asking over here


Looking at your setup, youre using even more than my 3300W in total, do you think an upgrade is necessary?

I could power all the risers on my 1300W G2 doing it the same way you did, by connecting 2 risers per pcie cable, with the 6 pcie ports on the 1300W G2 that would leave me with needing to connect 3 on a pigtail otherwise i can only power 12 of the 13 risers. However this would mean that i cant connect any gpu on that psu since im out of pci-e ports (right?)

Would you recommend getting the same setup of PSUs youre using?
I hope this isn't too much babysitting to ask for, but could you point me towards a better solution including which and what amount of additional cables i need to get?

Heyo!

So I'm building my first mining rig but I got a little bit confused with the whole riser thing and which connectors to use. I kinda don't wanna burn my house down so I thought I better ask over here

What I'm aware of so far: 128gb storage is too much, can cut that, 3300W psu is a little bit of an overkill too and 4gb of ram should be enough
I know that I'll have to mod the bios in windows one by one for each gpu to have the best results in linux later on.

My main question are risers and their connectors tho.
I was following a guide on r/EtherMining where i came to the conclusion that i should use 6pin risers. So i checked on these. Not saying i will buy them from there, just as a reference.

Would be great if someone could help me out with risers/connectors/cables specifically for this setup

So lets use my overkill psu's up there for some calculation

The total of connectors on those 3 psu's is: 18 6+2pins and 6 6pins
They come with the following cables: PCIE: 6x 750mm, 900mm (m) 12x 750mm (m) SATA: 8x 550mm, 650mm, 750mm (m) 4x 550mm, 650mm (m)

10 of my GPUs need 6+2pins and 3 need 6+2pins + 6pins

I'm kind of confused with the details of cables/connectors on EVGA's website and I'm also not sure if my math on the reisers and cables is correct.
What I wanna achieve: Have enough connectors; have enough cables; don't burn my house down.

Please help a first timer out
