Why is market cap 0?
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Owners of GTX 1060, what is your hashrate? on: September 18, 2017, 07:15:56 PM
#2 is caused by cards with shitty Hynix memory. No way to solve it. Get cards with Samsung.

#1 and #3: not every board can handle 8 GPUs. Try with 7 and check whether the issues are gone. If yes, try tweaking BIOS to get it stable with 8 cards or get another board. I can report that ASUS Prime Z270-P supports 8x GTX 1060, 6x PCIe and 2x m.2

PCIe Extenders 1x -> 4x is already a problem. Why do people get a MicroATX board with 3 PCIe Slots and then connect 8 cards to it?! Get a proper Full ATX board with 6 or 7 PCIe slots!

Thanks for explanation.
On windows, it is not very stable even with 5 GPUs.

Just to be clear about Samsung vs. Hynix: even when running at same clock frequency, they do different hashrate? I am able to overclock to around +1050 MHz with reasonable stability.
I will check what memory I have and report back.

Hello,

I'm sure this has been discussed already, but thread is too long to read and search did not come up with anything useful. So here it goes.

Have a rig with:
1x MBO MSI B250M PRO VD
1x DDR4 4GB
1x Celeron
8x Gigabyte GTX 1060 OC 3GB Windforce
1x 256GB SSD on USB (also tried 16GB USB pendrive)
3x PCIe expanders 1->4x from aliexpress
1x 1.5kW server PSU.
OS: Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 17.04, Kubuntu 17.04, Windows 10 x64 - same results
Linux drivers tested: v375, v384. Windows - latest driver.
Mining ETH with Claymore's miner.


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.

Problem #2
I only get 15.7 MH/s per card stock, and max 18.9 MH/s OC to +100/+1000 MHz.

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.

---

Has anyone tried this motherboard? It has a B250 chipset and should support up to 12 PCIe devices. Problem #1 and #3 does seem like a hardware problem, since i get same results on both Linux and Windows. I have adjusted PCI latency from 128 to 224 clocks with minor improvement.

Problem #2 is probably a driver problem? I have tried v375 and v384 on linux - same results. Should I try v372, like suggested by Claymore's miner?
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Recover bitcoins with 12 words, all else unknown on: August 25, 2017, 08:11:00 AM
So I was surfing around my documents and found a 12-word recovery phase. I don't have or remember anything else.
I bought some coins long time ago and really can't remember any details, as of where and how...

Tried to recover the wallet with Exodus app, but it says the phrase is invalid.
Whats next?
