Why Cryptonight on 1070ti's? There are double-tripple more $ on Equihash or NeoScrypt.

@sundownz
Have you overview on cpu and hashrate and wattage from each of your cpu's? And in which plattform they are.
Have 2 HP Proliant DL385 G7's everything is working perfect except I cannot for the life of my figure out have to get them to
connect to the network. Lan or Wan just trying to run an OS from a thumbdrive to mine with the CPU's no luck with anything
Ubuntu or any of the standard ones. Been through every bios setting, anyone have any idea why I can not get this thing on
the network, I am sure it is something simple and stupid, have years of experience with computer, linux and trouble shooting
but right now I am out of ideas. Any help is appreciated.

Are you plugged into the iLo port or an actual network port?  If you noticed there are FIVE Ethernet jacks on the back of the server.  iLo port is also Ethernet but it will not get you on the network.  It is access to the subsystem that runs before the server actually boots an OS which gives you full control for monitoring, remote deployment etc.  Looking from the back, you should be plugged into the furthest network jack to the right, labeled #1.

Also, that box is going to pull more wattage than produce hash.  Only 61xx series Opterons with no AES in that box.

Thank you for the reply, I already figured it out, I was trying to run HIVE OS to mine off a thumb drive assuming they were using ubuntu as a base os, apperently not or at least not the full version, HIVE OS apperently doesn't have a nic driver for the DL385 as soon as I loaded Ubuntu Desktop I pulled an ip. Also I am not to worried about the watts its pulls, I am mining cryptonight at 800+ h/s with the dual 6220 cpus and running 4 1070tis of a usb splitter powered by the free extra 750watt psu it came with for another 2.1 k/sols. Thing hardly pulls 700watts at the wall.

Sorry I guess I worded that poorly the CPU's are doing cryptonight and I just ment that I was also running 4 GPU's , they do happen to be doing equihash, ZEN at the moment. Also I was getting 760-800 with XMR Stak in Ubuntu 16.04 but sadly had to switch back to Window 10 to get the USB splitter to work and so far have only been able to get 650-700 out of the CPU's but haven't had much time to play with them yet.

Hello,

I want to try the same system > Hp Proliant DL385 with two 6234 CPU + 4 or 6 GPUs

Do you need a usb splitter for install 4 GPUs? Because it DL385 have to 6 pcie ports.

Do you have any recomedation for start, config and run it Rig?

Thanks

Looks great Spinx!
Thanks!


Nice system.

I am trying Hive OS on my DL580 G7 with 4x E7-4830's and 4x GTX 750. It is up and running but something must be wrong with my configuration for the CPUs. I am getting some affinity errors on a few CPU cores and those cores only produce 11 H/s instead of the 33 H/s on cores where affinity works. I have disabled hyper-threading in the BIOS so the 32 cores shown are real CPU cores.

Could you post the CPU configuration that you used with Hive OS. Hopefully that will fix my problem.

Also is the rack that the DL580 and GPUs are mounted in a commercial rack or home made?

If home made can you provide assembly instructions.

Thanks

Reason i left hiveOS was that i never got it stable. Constant freeze and reboots, but it has a lot more features, on paper its far superior to SMOS.

I dont have the configs left i think, but please have a look at my post here on settings for E7-8837 with xmr-stak: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1955358.msg28646698#msg28646698

The rack inside the server cabinet is custom built, bought the alu-profiles from my local hardware shop for ~75 euro, a bit expensive but very easy to build. I will look for a drawing, i only made one on paper Smiley

Any idea how to get 11 gpus working? I seriously wasted like all nights in a week to try to solve this. Changing hardware and waiting for multiple 15 min reboots is not something i like to do again.


Maybe you have one or more bad card. I have in my rig one RX 480 that I have underclocking because it freeze and reboot all rig.

Or maybe you need underclocking some card then you can run smoot.
