1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 8th Alt coin thread. Or what to do now that asics are all over the place. on: October 24, 2018, 09:29:03 AM
for my small farm($0.17/kwH):
22 gtx1070
12 gtx1060
18 rx570
4 rx580

what would you guys recommend to mine i.e. most profitable coin?

nvidia GPU: RVN or nicehash-x16r with z-enemy miner

amd GPU: XHV or XMR with XMRStak miner?

none of the above?

tnx

hi phil.

I see you have a new thread. hope you are doing fine.
Sold all my btc and will be remaining in cash during this price down turn.
I plan to scale back in when the down turn shows sign of reversal.

I started a mining farm with 3 friends last JAN 2018 and deployed:
12x1060
22x1070
18x570
4x580

we rented out a room which means we have recurring monthly rent cost.
we installed internet service which means we have recurring monthly internet cost.

we cant stop mining unless we pay the pretermination cost on the room and internet,
both contracts are 24months long.

i will crunch some numbers to find at what price btc should drop to which makes profits drop to zero.

Guys,

The temps on the 6x zotac 1070 minis on this onda D1800 board is bordering on unacceptable for me.
Acceptable to me is all cards running equihash below 65C. The hottest card#0 ~ 68C and card#4 ~ 66C.

I already put a 9inch industrial fan(45W) blowing directly from the back. The fan is centered on the card#2 and is blowing from the back to the hot aisle/section of the room.
The hot aisle/section has a 14" industrial exhaust fan taking the air out. This creates negative pressure.
There is an open window to the outside beside/near the exhaust fan.
We stick on some insulation board/material so as to funnel outside/colder air away from the exhaust fan so that it only exhaust hot air and hopefully the colder air will circulate to the cards.

Suggestions to get the temps down would be appreciated.

here is an update on the algorithm OC/miner recommendations:



Here is the sheet opened for COMMENT:

Thanks to KaydenC, Ursaursa, vapourminer,QuintLeo for taking the time to share.

Booooo for P00P135 who seems to know it all but could only share a snarky remark.

I have a zotac 1070mini lying around so I will try OC all algorithms and share.

Hi Guys.

Am trying to consolidate data on how to properly overclock for different algorithms.
It will be a public spreadsheet so the community can benefit.

Hopefully, the veterans in this thread can chime in and recommend how to OC for each algo i.e.
for ethash: min core/max mem
for equihash: max core/min mem <-- not sure about this

Thanks in advance.

I have the onda d1800 riserless motherboard and am trying to run a sapphire nitro 570 4gb on it.

I downloaded rx os dagfix zip file. Unzipped it then used etcher to write it to my usb flash drive.

I plugged the usb flash drive in to one of the usb ports on the board and powered on.

It started booting with some text flashing on the screen then the screen went blank.

no error messages. no blinking cursor. nothing I press on the keyboard affects the screen. not even ctrl-alt-delete.

do I just leave it running and plugged in to the network? is it updating with a blank screen?

Thanks for the reply guys. I was able to enter the bios so no loose memory or power cables for me.

Figured it out. Had to flash my board to the latest bios.

Scary 3 minutes with NO UPS.

For those with same issue on the ONDA D1800, I made a bootable DOS usb stick and flashed using the tool/bios from the ONDA site.

Good luck.

@citronick and other guys/gals with Onda D1800

Hi all. Are you able to run the Onda D1800 with nvOC? Or are you all on windows10?

To run nvoc properly, I think I need to disable the IGD.

I tried to disable the IGD in the bios.
I installed a pcie gpu(gtx1060) on pcie1 slot.
I connected a monitor to the gpu on pcie1.
I powered on, no display on the monitor.
I connected a monitor to the builtin vga on the board, no display on the monitor.

Am I doing something wrong? Help???

see crazydane's config

Rule of thumb:

0. Ensure your board boots, press ON button, listen for beep, if not then reseat DDR3 RAM and ensure all cabling tight and secure
1. Most BIOS defaults at GPU0 for monitor (PCI slot closest to CPU)
2. To use ONDA onboard mobo graphics - you actually need to change BIOS
3. In use smOS or nvOC, no changes required in BIOS to get mining running.
4. Plug monitor at GPU0, save BIOS and let it run.
5. logically Win10 will probably same as above.
6. I use smOS Linux mostly for my rigs - for ease of deployment, except for VEGA/Win10 and older rigs 1080ti Equihash/nvOC

Malaysia. 5 cents electricity, 1600sqft for $250usd monthly rent.

How do you handle physical security?  Is this some sort of warehouse district?
Do you buy your parts locally? Can you share pics please?

So to clarify, Vega rigs need to run Win10 as of the moment?

No one is running on linux?

Sharing how I installed some Low Voltage DDR3 Samsung SODIMM RAM
Did I do it correctly?

Took delivery from our supplier in aliexpress ordered last 11/11 delivered 11/21:

Not bad, i think i found a good store.

Is the total rig cost for deploying 4xVega56 optimally higher due to memory requirements for activating HBM2? i.e. 32GB REQUIRED?
Will you also need to run win10? which means deploying an SSD? Or can you run on linux usb stick?

hows about power draw? at what power are those sols produced?

Hey Guys,

What are your thoughts on the obelisk dcr and sia asic miners?

Do any of you plan to get them as they are now on pre-order?
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread. on: November 01, 2017, 12:07:08 AM
hello phil.

I have access to galax 1070 katanas for a little less than $450.

Are these cards any good?

Planning to get an 8gpu-riserless board + 7 of the galax 1070 katana and 1 zotac 1070 mini.

I can resell them to you or any one else. Just need to figure out cost effective shipping.

Hi, I'm sorry for the late reply. In the zar file you will find the original and the two modded roms. The rom that I'm currently using is the one ended with 900mV. I'm using Win10 pro(not activated), claymore 10.0, AMD blockchain driver Aug 23rd, and MSI AB beta 16. Both core and mem voltages of my card are set in the bat file. I'm using MSI AB only to set the fan speed because I found Claymore somehow ignore all of the fan setting I put it in the bat file. One trick for the fan setting with AB is to unsyn all card setting and set each of them to the default mem-core speed then apply the fan-speed one by one. My card runs about 59-61C- 29.2 Mh/s at 1150-2050 settings and it draws 117W dual-mining and 86W ether only. Your card may run hotter because i'm from Illinois and it is pretty cool this time of the year.

Link for the roms: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5QhYMW9AYHHY01nclo3YlRBYUk

thanks for the bios.
will check them out.
am able to run at 82W but my temps are at 63-65C.
located at PH and its not very cold here.

hi phil,

you recommended:
2 x EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 GAMING
1 x ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Mini


The evga cards are not blower type. Are they going to be okay heat wise?

I am guessing they would be fine on open air/no case build?

but for a build inside a case, I would need blower type cooler right?

Lancusters

It's very hot in out country(PH) so ambient temps are quite high.
also my mining room is warm.
this is as much undervolt as I can manage.
anything lower hangs.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help with Aorus RX 580 8GB Hynix on: October 25, 2017, 02:57:50 PM
Solved!!! Was able to run at 30Mh/s but I wasn't comfortable with too many memory errors/hour.

Ethash:29Mh/s temp:66C power:85W errors/hour:27/3



started with original bios then with PBEv1.6.2
- applied one click timings
- upped max fan speed from 3000 to 3300
- upped the core voltage@300 from 750mv to 824mv
- changed core voltage@900 to 65282
- changed core voltage@1145 to 65282
- changed core voltage@1215 to 65283
- changed core voltage@1257 to 65283
- changed core voltage@1300 to 65283
- changed core voltage@1365 to 65283
- changed memory voltage@2000 to 1024

MSI AB setting: 1145core/2100mem/80% fan
Trixx setting: 1145core/2100mem/-108mV

I completely agree. too many sleepless nights with this card.

but I may be on to something with the bios I played around with last night.
