 @citronick I ended up going with this board and hopes that the genius pcie design doesnt short it all out O_O @VoskCoin I've been on the fence about that board. but I guess its fine, just a little extra work of wrapping the pciex1 plug of the riser with electrical tape. To add cards, I am trying to use the m2 slots on my board: asrock fatal1ty b250 gaming k4(6 pcie out of the box). On that note, does anyone here have any experience with m2 to pcie to work properly for card#7 and #8? The first time I tried, I was able to get windows 10 to detect the card but the card always had error code 43. No amount of bios or driver tinkering got it to work. I emailed asrock support about it and they pointed me to a beta bios. Finally had free time and energy to try the beta bios a few days ago. It had 4G decoding!!!! Got windows to detect the gtx1060 card and to install drivers. Ran ewbf but only getting 50sols/s while the other gtx1060 cards get 270ish. Tried switching risers and cards. Any card or riser plugged into the m2-pcie slot only produced 50sols/s Have you guys encountered this issue before? How did you deal with it? I will probably email asrock support about this again. Just a guess but you could check your BIOS for M.2 options – there might be one for number of PCI lanes or speed eg x2 x4. |

Hi guys, how are yall putting your 1060s to good use now that the Eth profitibality has decreased?
eth? 95% of people with gtx 1060 or 70 have moved to equihash already since the dif bombs. Are you moving back to ETH on October 17th then when the blocktime/payouts increase? I'm trying to determine if it's worth the hassle of switching away and back, especially since I am just holding ether and not selling right now.... Payouts increase? The 'ice age' is being postponed, because PoS is nowhere near ready enough to punish us miners that much (yet), but rewards are still going to be reduced from 5 to 3 ether per block! Here's a rundown of all the changes https://btcmanager.com/byzantine-first-part-of-ethereums-planned-hard-fork-activates-oct-17/ see EIP 649. Uncle rewards are also being 'fixed' which will furher reduce pool payouts too. Hmm, I don't see anything about block times... the payout increase I was calculating was based on this info: (prior to difficulty bomb)Current block time was 29 seconds, reward was 5 eth - 10.34 eth per minute. New block time was 14.1 seconds, reward was 3 eth which results in 12.76 eth per minute. HOWEVER - I can't seem to find any info on the current block time? In the article you linked, it mentions block time is increased (but do they mean increased to a 'faster' time, or increased number of seconds?) Ok gotcha. Too many 'articles' for me! Jumped into the real deal from https://github.com/5chdn/EIPs/blob/a5-eip-649/EIPS/eip-649.md "The Casper development and switch to proof-of-stake is delayed, the Ethash proof-of-work should be feasible for miners and allow sealing new blocks every 15 seconds on average for another one and a half years. With the delay of the ice age, there is a desire to not suddenly also increase miner rewards. The difficulty bomb has been known about for a long time and now it's going to stop from happening. In order to maintain stability of the system, a block reward reduction that offsets the ice age delay would leave the system in the same general state as before." Then I found a good example in the comments on https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/669:  So fwiw my take on Metropolis… Without EIP-649 = ice age = mining grinds to a halt. Bad. With EIP-649 (without block reward reduction) = jump in mining rewards back to April levels = 'could alter stability of the system'. But that sounds great to me – pretend the Ice Age never started and carry on? Yes please. But devs say no. For whatever reason. With EIP-649 (with block reward reduction) = the compromise = 'leave the system in the same general state as before' . Though I guess we have to accept 'as before' means before the fork, not before the Ice Age entirely… Anyway please excuse this detour – on with the 1060 hashrates! |

Another update: Just while standing besides rig, It went “tick” that kind of noise like a power on sound and all cards stopped working.
Not sure from the thread if you've solved this or not but if not that tick sounds like it could be PSU related. I had an underpowered rig and the PSU would definitely click when it maxed out. Are you running all the rigs off the same circuit? The instability across multiple rigs could be because of overloading? |

I'm runnning my 12 gpu rigs gtx1070's
with some cheap ass pentium g4400, been using them for quite some time now.
with 4gb of ram only.
Does cpu actually make any difference if so what does it do?
Since i got this cpu validate error on mining BTX
---BTW
Looked into BTX coin, this coin is basically a legit- actual blockchain based ponzi... I strongly suggest not hodling on this coin if mining and daily exchange it !!
cpu validation error is nothing ignore it cpu does not make difference in mining Ummm, sure CPU doesn’t make a difference in mining but a CPU validation error is different, it means something is up with the miner and it’s results aren’t correct. Usually a symptom of too high an overclock so try dropping that a bit and see if the errors go away. |

Hello
can anyone help me with the setup of this G2 miner, got in few days ago spent day and night and its not working, no support from bitmain as usual, seem like one of the crap miner they made.
ok here is the story
its came with centos 7 which never used it anyway they also put folder of claymore 9.7 which i tried and give error message of OpenCL error - 4 - cannot create DAG on GPU
in the read me file says something to do with virtual memory but how to increase this
on 2nd machine g2 i put windows 10 after too much struggle finally fiudn the drivers but only 8 cards supporting when i put 8th card this crash the system
my advice not to buy these g1 nor g2 waste of money and time
any advice plz
No idea if it’ll support your G2 or not but you could try nvOC https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.4100 |

Yes. Do not confuse: NVIDIA GTX 1700 is different from Quadro FX 1700. This onde, as said, is more than a decade old. Its useless for mining.
Correction of my previous post: PowerDraw is 65%. Not 80.
There is no such card as a GTX 1700? Do you mean GTX 1070? |

good earnings for nvidia 1700 is it nVidia Quadro FX 1700 is a complete name what exactly gpu name?
Because just i am just curious i just saw the price is honestly really cheap from amazon but why its 430€ each..
Just wanted to clarify because i just found 50 dollar in amazon just copy paste the nvidia 1700 in amazon but i saw 50 dollar graphics card..
The Quadro FX 1700 is about 10 years old. Maybe better for Microsoft Word than mining. |

Im trying to setup this miner for my little hibby rig (5x1060's) but cant get it to launch. It cannot find "ccminer" in the folder. Am missing something (obviously apart from the elusive ccminer,lol)? Where should ccminer be in the download files?
Check it's not being quarantined/deleted by anti-virus software |

Windows 10 64bit and yes I changed virtual memory to 16000
Win supports 8x nvidia + 8x amd max. You'll need to use linux, check out nvOC. |

Hi, I got 270 mh/s ETH and 2.7 gh/s Pascal using 12x P106-100 and Claymore 10.0. Dont know how to find memory manufacturer under Linux.
Setting using 0 CC, +800 MC, 70C, PL no limit. Pretty stable so far.
Nice. Judging from those hashrates I'd assume samsung. There's no linux util to find out memory manufacturer. Booting into Windows from a USB would be way to go. I do that then write an S or M (luckily no H) on the metal bracket in sharpie so I can tell what's what if I move them around. |

Hello guys,
I have a question who uses p106-100 gpu.
Here's my settings:
95W
Core: 100
Mem: 1400
And I'm getting 290~298sols.
Now when I tried to lower my power limit to 75W. The card still draws 90W.
Nvidia-shows that it has a power limit of 75W but still consumes 90W. Does anyone had this issue?
Power limit is a percentage based on the card's TDP (thermal design power) which for a p106-100 is 120W. So in your case power limit @ 75% of 120W is 90W. |

I have a GTX 1060 rig with EVGA SCC 6GB cards.
I have overclocked settings of
Memory +950 MHz
Clock -100 MHz
Power target of 45%
I'm running around 23 MH/s using about 70Watts per card.
Wow! How are you setting power to 45%? I use Afterburner which stops at 50% |

Problem #1
The OS lags a lot, even when no miner is running. But when I start mining, the OS becomes extremely unresponsive and crashes anytime within 10 minutes to 2 hours. Especially harsh on windows, I don't even have to start mining, it's enough to open USB drive or do any other task and CPU usage jumps to 100% on one core, saying it's being used by system interrupts. And then it gradually mitigates to second core as well, and then it freezes up.
If it's across OS's it must be hardware related. As others mention a combination of mobo which doesn't have many PCIE slots and using a multiplier could be confusing the system – have you got the most recent version of the BIOS installed? Also FWIW I'm running Windows 10 and my rigs lagged majorly with >6 cards until I increased Windows virtual memory to 64GB (maybe overkill but it worked). Problem #3
On linux, unable to overclock if IGD is enabled, some kind of problem with nvidia settings - xorg.conf file. Have to disable the IGD and connect the monitor to one of GTX cards. This is very inconsistent, sometimes I get different results, as it looks like BIOS is behaving weirdly - sometimes IGD sharing still works, even if it is disabled, but then it gets stuck on boot screen, while GTX proceeds in to displaying normal desktop GUI.
Not sure but I've seen some discussion about xorg.conf issues over in the NVOC thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.0 but I'd advise reading through it before asking if you're not using NVOC. |

hi guys,
some people said that compute unit does matter.
lets say my nvidia and rx run at the same speed, about 25mh/s.
the rx card have more compute unit, it will have more share thus create more profit.
is this true?
rgds,
No it is not true. At the risk of using an analogy that is like saying "I have two cars which can go 200km/h. But one has a V12 engine. Does it go faster?" Of course it doesn't because you have already stated they both go 200km/h! The number of compute units does matter for the speed but it is not something you then 'add on afterwards'. It is part of the card's architecture (which also includes memory speed, bandwidth and other components) which taken together is what gives the measured 25mh/s speed. In the end the only thing that counts is how many shares are actually accepted by the pool. |

Ethereum will hardfork in september and go POS.
Wha? Metropolis hard fork yes but POS definitely not. Early 2018 if you're being optimistic. |

After some tests:
Gigabyte GTX1060 Windforce OC 3Gb (Samsung) - Claymore 10 - MSI Afterburner
Power: 65%; Core + 100; Memory +800; Fan 55% --> Stable from 23.4 MH/s up to 24.3 MH/s. Temp 67°
Using MSI Afterburner instead of Gigabyte Extreme, there is a little increase of about 0.6 MH/s
Thanks for sharing this. I'd been told ETH was memory bound so don't use a core OC. I'd tried my Gigabyte 1060 ITX 3g (samsung) cards at 65% power with memory +800 but that gave ~16-18MH/s so I had the power up at 75% to get ~23MH/s. Seeing your results I dropped to 65% power and added in+100 core oc and boom 24.7Mh/s across the board – thanks! |
