Settings ?

Have you tried running "msinfo32"  and checking the details there?
Hardware resources - IRQs and the other menus. Could show some more details.
you need to 'squeeze' the Video cards in very short range of IRQ in parallel with all the other modules.

Also you have some hardware modules enabled which consume unnecessary resources.  For example  Serial port, etc.
Disable from bios anything that is not needed. Audio devices too.  When installing Nvidina drivers do not install the HD Audio part.

you need solid CPU and some amount of RAM which the Raspb does not have.  No need to torment your little raspi Smiley

164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Owners of GTX 1060, what is your hashrate? on: December 04, 2017, 06:13:53 AM
Samsung memory usually clocks high enough.  Much better than anything else.
Where Micron usually starts to create "issues" around +550,  Hynix around +400,  Samsung can push highest.

Given the fact Windows Nvidia driver "adds/removes' 200mhz off the OC, the effective +OC rate should be (950-200) = 750 /2 = 375 which makes the video card memory operational speed at 2375 mhz.
default is 2000 mhz.

My Samsung ones are running fine for months at 2300 mhz.

RealSwissMiner : possibly Smiley   Nowadays finding a Samsung 1060 is like winning the lottery.

I went through Evga, Asus, Gigabyte - same crappy Hynix. Returned all except the Asus because the store where I got it has this new policy 'no returns on video cards'.
The Asus 3 GB 1060 Gtx - 55% TDP,  Ethereum 17.5 mh/s,  Equihash - 245-250 sol/s.
quite hot and noisy fans. Have to keep them at 55% to sustain 50 C.
That Asus card is probably better for gaming than mining.

One of the many small (1 boss, 2-3 workers) pretending to be big companies in China. There are thousands like this.

167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Powering x6 1070 properly on: December 02, 2017, 04:02:02 AM
He already has Raisers with 6pin, but the connector that comes with the Raiser is SATA at the supply side.
168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Powering x6 1070 properly on: December 01, 2017, 09:27:00 PM
Quality PSU  PCI-E 8pin cables can in theory and in practice power safely 200-220 watts even though the spec is for 150Watt.
The same does not apply to SATA connectors though. Don't risk it.  
Power the riser directly from a Power supply PCI-E cable if you can. Much safer.  Also lower the TDP on the Nvidias if you have not.  100% is useless too much energy wasted.  65-80% much better.

specs on the connectors SATA vs Molex
SATA connector - 4,5 amp  ~ 55 watts
MOLEX connector - 11 amp ~ 132 watts

Is it much safer to get a Molex to 6pin raiser plug in this case, then power through the SATA cable that came with the raiser.
Although some Video Cards are ok on the raiser SATA connection because they don`t consume a lot from the PCI-E slot (raiser) but it is always some risk. SATA connector was never meant for this. It is for HDDs and similar small power devices.

lanfeust:  Can't do on Monero.



ETH-based type coins only can be dual mined

170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX580 How to get lower wattage? (via BIOs) on: December 01, 2017, 09:11:42 PM
Yep.  GPUZ always shows the core GPU consumption but not the whole Video Card consumption from the wall.
Mine is around 85 watt in GPUZ and 130 from the wall  single mining ETH.   Dual mining goes even higher from the wall.

willi9974  my suggestion was to use 1500 straps. Try with that and not with 1750 strap
172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Silly question-could an Arock H100 cause my Start button and Cortana to not work on: December 01, 2017, 08:42:06 AM
Disable Cortana and may be try or create a new Windows user and check with it.

If you can find one now at decent price, probably.

If the numbers increase, it is working but there are so many blocks that have to be processed and the chain is "funky" on certain blocks.

You just have to wait.  Do note that the raspberry is very slow (much slower than the VPC) for that kind of purpose so it would take some time.
First the raspb does not have very fast cpu (which is needed) and does not have enough RAM which is also needed.  At some point it may even crash with out of memory errors if you have not setup a large SWAP on the OS.  

so wait......or get the copy of the synced chain from the VPC if you still have access and start from there.

175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [*] 8BIT [Dark Masternodes][Anon][Roadmap Stage 4] on: November 30, 2017, 09:42:27 PM
What does the log say?  It is in .8bit folder.


Also ..
Suggest to put the 8bit folder in the user's home folder (not in /bin)   =>   /root/8bit
Keep the .8but folder in the user's home folder.   =>   /root/.8bit

from security perspective,
Best way is not to use root at all, but use a dedicated normal users. But it would work with root too. Up to you.


176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Rig Down-The Frustration is Real on: November 30, 2017, 08:29:38 PM
Somehow I have the feeling what you see is related to the GPU, not the MB.   That is why I suggested to remove the memory OC and just see how it goes.
If those are with Micron memory, which probably they are,  620 is a bit more than it can take long-term.

So may be try this
Keep keep TDP at 70-75% or whatever is preference for you.  (not less than 60% because hashrate drops a lot then).
Try a while with no memery OC.  See results
Increase OC of memory to 350. See results
Increase OC of memory to 500. See results.

don't OC core to more than 90-100.

yes, Probably automated bots / creating new account, posting few words to gain popularity for the account.
178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Rig Down-The Frustration is Real on: November 30, 2017, 06:43:32 PM
Sorry, I am confused.  You said you have 4 GPUs -  (4) MSI 1070 GTX 8 GB GPUs,   now 6.  

Try to disable memory overclock, see how it goes for a test.

179  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Modified GPU BIOS for Mining on: November 30, 2017, 06:36:16 PM
What about Power supply?
180  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Rig Down-The Frustration is Real on: November 30, 2017, 07:34:16 AM
Have you tried putting 1 GPU directly on the MB, the rest 3 only on raisers?  
How much do you Overclock the memory?
