Hi Guys, I'm writing this post hoping that there is someone who could help me with some answers. I'm new in mining, as you all were in the beginning so I'm still trying to find my place in the huge amount of info.  Well, I've just set up my RIG (6 x XFX RX 470 8gb) and I'm currently trying to understand if the frequencies for memory and gpu shown in the SM console are the stock frequencies of the video card or the values I see there are overclocked by SMOS? It's currently show me 1180/1950/card. Do you have any info on this matter? If you have not set any OC values in Simpleminer then yes, they are the stock clocks on the card(s). If you load ATI winflash as well as polaris bis editor, you can save your BIOS and load it into polaris to look around at the stock values. Hi, Thx for the answer. The idea is that I didn't use the cards in windows before. Just installed the rig, inserted the usb with simplemining OS and that was it. This is why I was wondering if the frequencies shown in the console are the stock frequencies. I didn't change them, just wanted to know for sure that the OS does not apply any OC at all. Got it. So yes, stock values are shown that you can tweak with the OC settings in SMOS. Keep in mind that you won't get as good of undervolting results in SMOS VS modding the BIOS. For me atleast the power profile setting in SMOS doesn't change much. Modding the BIOS voltages works great, have to know what you are doing though. |

can anyone with asus b250 mining expert share their bios settings with smos?
i have tried many combinations of settings with 9 cards and smos registers each card but mines less tan 4 hashes each card, i have manyhours trying and cant find good answers online
What GPU's are you using, this info would help? I have the same issue. Currently I have 4x 570 4Gb and 1x 580 8Gb. I have 2 more cards I did not test with the mobo yet and 3 more on the way, all RX 570/580 4/8Gb. Otherwise I have a more general question as well: I had SMOS running in 1 rig on an SDD. Can I take this SDD and use it to run SMOS on another rig? Or does SMOS udpates itself and becomes dependant to the HW it runs on (just like windows does)? EDIT: I forgot to say these 5 cards were running fine (28-29Mh/s) on SMOS on a Z170 PC Mate. Now that I switched everything to the B250 mining expert I have this low (and varying) hashrate problem. I solved my problem. It was quite stupid but you have to know it: don't use the damn 16x PCIe slot! After I moved the riser from the 16x slot to a 1x it solved all my hashrate issues. The above solution did not solve all my problems. The hashrate was good for a while but then went back to crap. I followed the advice on Reddit and filled my PCI slots in the numerical order (I had read elsewhere it did not matter). Now that I did this my rig is mining at the expected hashrate again. F*** me it's still not stable. It can run stable for like 6 hours and then the hashrates start to go up and down. Yesterday when I was running with 5 GPU, it went OK with all of them for hours. Then only 1 of the GPU went down to 3-4Mh/s and the others were all fine. In the evening I added a fan blowing on the little chip that some people say overheat on the B250. Then I plugged in a 6th GPU and started mining again.. It was stable for a few hours only and then the issues started again. Not just 1 GPU went down to 3-4Mh/s, many did. Could it be bad risers? Can they they somehow work for a while and then start causing issues? Identifying the bad one would be hard since they all appear to work, at least for some time. Could it be the power? I currently run this on a good EVGA gold and a not so good Cooler Master (I had to RMA a corsair, that's why). The only other thing I have running on this breaker is a single light and the fan to cool the rig. The wires are a bit old in my basement where my rig is. It's not bad power, that wouldn't cause one card to flake out. It could be a bad riser, cable or the little PCIE chip that plugs into the slot. I've had bad risers that run fine for days or weeks and then all of the sudden cards will drop off. I hate to be obvious, but have you updated the BIOS and tried to set the Gen settings for the slots etc? I have one ASUS board and the rest are ASROCK H110 pro's. The H110's are setup for mining and fired right up, I have 6 10 card rx580 rigs running SMOS. The ASUS board is 8 cards and was kind of a PITA to get running. Had to set everything related to PCIE to Gen1, disable SATA controller, audio controller etc. Finally it has been running for over a week. I read ton's on boards before setting up my 10 card rigs and stayed away from the B250 as it seemed to have overheating issues and just be unstable compared to the H110 or another board. Hell, I paid $129 for my Asus Z270-P and it runs 8 cards... |

Hello everyone! I recently got into mining and 2 days ago I finished setting up my first mining rig (6 RX 470 XFX 8GB on a gigabyte H110-D3A with a intel Pentium Dual-Core 3.3 GHz). I use SMOS with claymore 10.5 and thus far I got twice (once every 24h) an error that makes a lot of hardly readable text rain down my screen (I'll attach vid). Any ideas on why this might happen? What should I do to try correct this? I want to let my rig mine while I am 200km away. This error makes it unresponsive to simplemining dashboard commands (I can't reboot/ restart from it) so I'll have to figure out how to use SRR which seems difficult  The error(vid): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb5zvXz1ias&feature=youtu.beThe error(pic): https://ibb.co/iXXaJbI usually get that if A) The motherboards isn't setup properly for mining. Disable as much as you can onboard. Try changing PCIE versions from Auto to Gen1 or Gen 2 and test. B) The GPU's are overclocked or undervolted too much. |

Hello guys, just a question about different GPUs in the same RIG. I read but I don't remenber when, I could use different GPU models in the same rig (always amd or Nvidia, not mixed) and I can make an individual setting for each cards but I was trying to find out that point but I didnt find any info about that. Could you please give me any link/info/guide to do it? I remember that it was quite easy but as I saud I didnt find anything ...
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can, 2 of my 7 rigs are "frankenrigs". All RX580's but some XFX cards and some Sapphire. What I do to make it easy is to flash the BIOS outside of Simpleminer and just use the fan controls in Simpleminer. This way you don't have to try and figure out which GPU is which number. I have also put my different cards at the end of the PCI-E order and used Simpleminer to do the overclocking etc. Just boot it with stock BIOS values and from within the Simpleminer Web consle you can see which of the cards has different clock values. Those will be the ones you want to differentiate in the overclocking settings. IE, 6 cards, 4 of one type and 2 of another, 2 differnt ones are in the last PCIE slots, 5 and 6. In the overclock settings you would separate the values by commas, example: 1200,1200,1200,1200,1150,1150. Hope that helps! |

hi guys
i have a z270-a prime with 3 cards on it for the moment (rx570 nitro+ 8gb) , its working under win10 and it not working under simplemining...
i downloaded the dag fix version and i can't make claymore working....
I does work. I got such mainboard and 6xrx570 nitro+ 8gb... strange, my 2 rigs with z270-a prime works nice under win10, and nothing with simplemining fresh install, with dag fix image. some errors when i boot on the sandisk usb and simpleming never reach configuration.... any solution ? I have the -p version of that motherboard with 8 rx580's, works great. You have to set the bios up just as in this post or it won't work. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1917749.0Post #18 is the settings. |

Jupie2008, how big is the drive you flashed the image to? I had to use at least a 16GB, 8GB would no longer work after the updates that were released a few days ago. Also in your bios look for boot options. I found this on bio stars website: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/support/faq_content.php?S_ID=709Setting that should make it boot from USB. I also had to change my pcie version to gen 1. |

Just a heads up to everyone. I'm running the dagfix version. Around 1PM today my miner started to throw pool connection errors. I rebooted it but it wouldn't come back online. I flashed the os to a new 8GB USB drive and it booted. However, after updates, same thing, just a cursor screen.
I figured out that the updates are too big for a 8GB flash drive now. I flashed to a 16 GB USB and it boots right up.

What is the recommended method for remote management of rigs with pimp os installed? TeamViewer or some other software?
I'm currently running simpleminer on one rig and expanding my farm by 4-6 more rigs.
The catch is they are all going to be in a different state, 5 hours away.
Simpleminer works but lacks support and slow feature adoption. Pimp os seems like a perfect fit for what I need if you can remote manage the rigs. Maybe that's where miner.farm comes into play? I need tot be able to remotely set profiles, reboot etc.

Anyone else run into a issue updating to the dagfix version?
After I click update from the web, it updates, reloads and just goes to a Grub cursor, like: Grub>
I can load the standard version back onto the stick and it runs fine but I'd like to update to the dagfix version....
