Who are the main insurance providers that people in the UK are going for to protect GPU's?

So you think that it is a good coin and worth mining?

I notice that the difficulty is really low for BTG, I've read that they recently got hacked. The price also looks to have just  been declining. Do you think that this coin has much potential to grow from where it is or do you think it will just fizzle out after the developers have milked it some more? From reading online most people don't seem to have much good to say about it. The relatively low difficulty and circulating supply is quite interesting though.

I am getting 69 degrees at 80% fan speed. What cards do you have?

What temperature do you aim for during normal operation? I have set a temp limit of 70 with the fans set to automatic in afterburner. Does that seem sensible?

Yeah I managed to get it through overclocking. I can get 30 but the temperatures are slightly about 70. Is this temperature ok to just leave?

Thanks again

Hey,

Iv just built my first rig using 6 x Gigabyte Rx580 4GB GPU and I am just mining Ethereum on Claymore with Windows 10. When I first set it up I was only getting around 13 mh/s per card and then I installed the blockchain drivers and it went up to around 15. In my bat file I also added -dcri 30 and found that this increased it to around 22 m/s. I finally bios modded each card and I am now sitting at around 25 mh/s for each card.

What else can be done to increase the hash rate? From what I have seen online people seem to be getting around 30 mh/s.

Can you set to compute mode with the blockchain drivers? Does this have much effect. When I press y in claymore I get the error message: "Error: cannot set Compute Mode flag, run miner as Administrator and try again
CrossFire is already disabled". When I right click on the bat file and click run as administrator the command window just flashes open and then closes. Do you know why this is?

Is overclocking the only thing left to try?

My bat file contains the following:


setx GPU_FORCE_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 - ewal [eth address].RigName -epsw x -dcri 30 -allcoins 1 -allpools 1 -mode 1 -ftime 10 -r 1

Anything that can be changed or added here?

Many thanks, really appreciate your help

I am having issues with the nice hash benchmarking. Every time I try and run it I get blue screen of death after a while. Any ideas why this could be and how I can resolve it?

I downloaded the 17.10.1 drivers and it seems to now recognise all 6. Thanks for your help Hopefully I get decent results.

I managed to get all the cpu detected in device manager by first using ddu and turning all updates off. In nice hash non of the gpus are detected though and I get the following error message pop up:

amd opencl device detection.exe application error

Any ideas what the issue is here?

Thanks Ill give that a go. Does the VGA converter have to be the powered type?

Hi, I am building a gpu rig and I am really struggling to get all the graphics card to be detected.

I am using the H110-D3A motherboard and have 6 x Gigabyte radeon rx580 GPU's. I am running windows 10 and the drivers I have are the AORUS graphics driver and utility. My monitor only has a VGA connector so I am connecting from the motherboard to the monitor. When I install the drivers I can detect the all the GPU's individually in the AORUS engine software, it even detects two at at time when I put one in the first and second slot. If I try and do more though the computer starts to run really rough and when I open up the AORUS engine software it doesn't let me click anything and the available options are different. I can't see all of the GPUs.

I have tried reinstalling everything (including windows) several times but I just get the same result.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

I have tried putting one in at a time and rebooting in between but when I get past two it doesn't work.

Thanks for your help. It seems to be coming together slowly. If the fans don't come on Ill just send them back to the seller. For my personal situation it doesn't really matter. You looking to get rid of your gpus?

Thanks a lot. I am thinking of going with HiveOS. Does this not come with all the drivers preinstalled?

Thanks, I've moved it. I will try and plug the GPUs directly into the motherboard. From what I have read people say that the fans should only come on at a certain temperature. If that is the case I am wondering why most just start when turned on. The gpus are the GIGABYTE AMD Radeon RX 580 GAMING 4GB.

Ok so now also have stuff appearing on the monitor. Just the GPU fan now.

Ok so iv solved point 3, feeling pretty silly. If anyone experiences the same issue. It arrived in a state where it automatically powers up. When I reset the bios this was no longer the case and so now had to use the screwdriver to short the power pins on the motherboard.

Hey,

I am building my first rig and have a few issues.

1. To start I optimistically just plugged everything in to see what would happen. I bought second hand stuff off eBay. I have 6 Rx580 GPUs and I noticed that the fans on two of the GPUs don't start on boot. All the lights come on though. I have tried swapping the risers and power around etc but it is always the same two. Does this mean that they are most likely broken? Or could it just be some settings that the previous owner set?

2. I am getting no output to the monitor. I have tried several different monitors that I know to work. I have also tried reseating the ram and checking the cpu and fan. I then just stripped everything right back to bare essentials and got the same result. At this point I decided to remove the cmos battery.

3. Up until this point I was getting power but once I put the battery back in the PC doesn't power up at all. I have confirmed that the PSU is ok via the paperclip test. The power was switched off but the cable was still plugged in when I removed the battery. Could this cause damage? Any hope of fixing it?

Any thoughts, help or advice would be really appreciated.

You're crazy

I think it really depends on your specific PSU, type and number of cards that you are using. Seen as it will be pretty much running 24/7 for several years (hopefully), it is not something I would want to take any changes on.

For the rig I am building I have 6 * GIGABYTE AMD Radeon RX 580 GAMING 4GB GPU with a Corsair RM1000x PSU.

From what I have read I have decided to get rid on the risers with the SATA connection. And go for the type with 6 pin molex connectors like the following:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6X-USB-3-0-PCI-E-1X-16X-Extender-Riser-Card-Adapter-Power-Cable-ETH-BTC-Mi/273138536150?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Are those safe for long term use? Numbers would be preferred to anecdotes.

My main issue is that the PSU doesn't come with enough cables. I have enough to power the GPU's but I am not sure how I will go from the PSU to the risers.

Is there such a thing as a cable with an 8 pin adapter that will fit into the PSU and 6 pins that will fit into the riser end. Is it ok to just buy separate cables, I have read that you should just stick with the cables that the PSU manufacturer provides.

Many thanks
