Fantastic work. Really liking the build.
I ran into the problem where my over clocks were not getting set, but your fix seemed to correct that (started with one gpu before putting more in). After the fix, the gpufan error messages (I saw others were having that) are still showing up. Not a big issue since it looks like the fans are dynamic and should adjust up.
One suggestion for the next build, can you add ZEN cash to the list of available coins?
You can add it to oneBash yourself if you want to mine ZEN now: Add your ZEN pool and address around line 86 the following: ZEN_WORKER="nvOC"
ZEN_ADDRESS="your_address"
ZEN_POOL="mining.miningspeed.com"
ZEN_PORT="3063"
Add around line 815 the following block: if [ $COIN == "ZEN" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/zec/miner'
ZENADDR="$ZEN_ADDRESS.$ZEN_WORKER"
until $HCD --eexit 3 --fee $EWBF_PERCENT --pec --server $ZEN_POOL --user $ZENADDR --pass z --port $ZEN_PORT;
do
echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
sleep 5
done
fi
Set COIN="ZEN" on line 22 and there you go. |

Can someone share the OC settings for GTX 1080 OC 8GB (non TI), please?
These are my OC settings for nvOC:
POWERLIMIT="NO"
__CORE_OVERCLOCK=275
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=600
FAN_SPEED=100
The card gets heated: 82 C (stays there 24/7 consistently)
With the above OC settings, I get 315-330 MH/s on LBC and 495-505 Sol/s on ZEC.
With the same OC settings as on nvOC, Windows 10 is able to get 345-365 MH/s on LBC and 545-565 Sol/s on ZEC with temperature not going over 79 C. I used MSI Afterburner on Windows.
Any ideas?
Well, in nvOC (Linux) the OC is different. So you might want to up your mem OC quite a bit. As written before by fullzero: Powerlimits in windows are in percent TDP; in linux they are in watts. Thus a powerlimit of 70 in windows is .7 * 120 watts or whatever the TDP is (84 watts if the card TDP is 120); while 70 in linux is 70 watts. I would recommend comparing Windows and linux powerlimits with a kill-a-watt to get them exactly equal; but most likely a 3gb 1060 has a 120 or 125 watt TDP. Also linux OC offsets are scaled differently than windows; you will need to use higher offsets to get the same results in linux. Thanks. How about setting the temperature limit? In MSI Afterburner, I was able to set the temperature limit as well. I've been using Windows so far, so please don't mind my questions.  @fullzero, cheers for creating nvOC and sharing. You gotta start charging As far as I know, there is no option in Linux / Nvidia drivers to set a max temp. It can be done in EWBF miner, but that would mean it will idle the card until below threshold. You could limit your power to reach the desired temp, but that's not quite the same. |

I like rufus; I have used it for years, it can also be used to image the USB. I think the hddRawCopy tool, is easier to use for members who have less experience imaging; there are also a lot of members who are already familiar with it from smOS. I use an img format for the image; specifically to enable the use of most imaging programs. This one is also easy to use and is available for mac / linux and windows: https://etcher.io/Thanks, being on a Mac, etcher looks great. Saves me starting up Virtualbox  Just leaves me one thing: the Windows partition is unreachable with a Mac. Seemingly this has to do with some flags missing for the FAT partition. Anyone has a solution for this? What are you trying to do? Explain into details what you trying to do and I might be able to help out I deal with windows and Mac daily After writing the image to an USB my Mac won't recognise the USB nor the Win partition on the USB. Tried several utilities but it seems to be an issue with the way the partition table is made. Unfortunately I couldn't find a working solution.. So for me it's easier atm to boot up a rig with the USB, ssh to it and edit the oneBash remotely. But if you have a way to mount, that would be great! |

A tip and a question: Tip: If you're tuning your GPUs to reduce power, nvidia-smi can be quite helpful. I open it in a second ssh session so I can watch the miner output in the main window and the GPU in the second. You can run it with this (refreshes every 0.1 seconds): Question: My rig is using about 50W more than it should as compared to same Eth mh/s under windows. I've got cclock set to -35 and mclock set to 820. pl is set to 75. I get ~23mh/s, which is what I'm shooting for. from the nvidia-smi output it looks like the problem is that three of the cards (this rig is 3x PNY and 1xEVGA) are not honoring the powerlimit. Still new to tuning nvidia cards until linux. Any ideas? +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Update: Apparently quite a few people are experiencing this issue with GTX 1060's https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1011804/linux/nvidia-smi-not-fully-supported-on-gtx-1060/. In this case, mine is a PNY 3GB version which someone else is having issues with as well. Unclear as to whether this is a driver bug or somehow related to particular motherboards (a Gigabyte z97 SOC Force in my case). Thanks for the tip! Looking at the table posted: The cap is in place (75W), but the card is not honouring it. There might be a firmware upgrade for the card? Out of curiosity: What's the avg Sol/s you get with these cards, or do you just mine Ethash with it? Do you mine single or dual mode? |

I did find some OC numbers my EVGA 1070s like and run stable at: -200/1100, ~29.1 MH/sec ETH.
Thanks again for everything. Really looking forward to v0016!
I'm having trouble OC my cards. I have 4x EVGA 1070 SC. Am I doing this right? I could not get it working by setting INDIVIDUAL_CLOCKS="NO" and I set the individual clocks and -200/1100 to 2 GPUs to see if it worked. I'm still getting 26MH/s. Note: I'm not sure how to check memory type in Linux. I might have Micron memory.  I can get it working on my 1 card W7 rig:  Not sure what you mean, did you set the individual clocks as NO, but you defined the individual clocks? Please try this first, to see if that shows more performance:
__CORE_OVERCLOCK=200
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=800
INDIVIDUAL_CLOCKS="NO" # YES NO
Did you set POWERLIMIT? EDIT: Ah sorry, I see the images now.. It looks okay, and should give you the wanted performance. But please try the overall clock settings to see if you get more performance. |

You guys seeing NVIDIA cards going to 0 hash often? I'm seeing this very often on Zotac Mini and 1080TI Gigabyte rigs
With Claymore 9.5 yes (on AMD rigs), back to 9.4 for me. Have had it with too much OC on Gigabyte mini, running for 20-40 minutes then back to 0. |

Maxximus007, citronick, jmooney5115; Thanks for helping Thank you for the great OS! I will send BTC to the address in oneBash on my first payout to thank you. Assuming that is yours. I asked about the mobo yesterday. I went ahead and ordered it and will post back next week if it works. Currently I'm running the GIGABYTE GA-B250M-Gaming 5 and it works perfectly. I did not find this thread until I ordered the parts, or I would have ordered the Gaming 3 you have in your OP. ________________________________ I had a heck of a time getting a NiceHash.com DaggerHashimoto (ETH) pool working. All it took was me reading the README.txt on ethdcrminer64 and it worked for me . The following should work with all pools from NiceHash.com (link of pools). Note: set COIN="NICE" to use this. If it didn't work it's a typo . if [ $COIN == "NICE" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64'
ADDR='16tbBnNsdxVpwf8ZuUXehv3PG5TEEHn5wV.worker1'
NICE_POOL='stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353'

Just wanted to say that all the credits have go to fullzero! Hope V016 is on its way .. |

Maxximus007, citronick, jmooney5115; Thanks for helping v0015 has come along way and all my current ZEC NVIDIA builds are on nvOC Linux. Press on to improve nvOC.... with AMD cards out of reach and NVIDIA breaking into the crypto world with GTX-1060 mining edition, great upside for nvOC especially ZEC, ETH and ccminer forks. Can you help me out? I want to mine ZEC but am worried I will not get the profits. I have the Windows Eleos v0.0.7 wallet installed. ZEC and ZEN both have a sync status of 100%. When I go to receive tab and click new transparent address, an address is shown but it is not listed in my addresses tab. This happens on both ZEN & ZEC. Will this address not be shown until I receive ZEC/ZEN? I've used it for ZEN, it works like you said. The generated address is yours, but will only be shown in transactions after the first.. transaction. It seems flaky but it works. If you use zenmine.pro, it will send your first payout after 0.1 ZEN, so that can be quite fast. You can also decide to open a deposit address at Bittrex if you don't trust the wallet. |

Ok, so I have both 006 molex and 006 6 pin risers. However, if I don't use the SATA adapters, the only cable I have available is a 6-pin (perif) to 4x molex string. And I can only use 2 of those 4 molex for safety, how can I connect the other risers? I have two EVGA 750W G2's. They each have 1 perif and 4 Sata plugs on the back.
So I'm assuming I need a 6-pin sata (that plugs into the PSU) to 6-pin that plugs in the riser, but this is the issue, where on earth are those cables sold. OR I need a 6-pin sata (that plugs into the PSU) to molex, and again, can not find cables for that.
Unless I'm just totally blind.
Use 8 or 6 pin splitter, those cables are made to be full powered. As I wrote 8 pin can handle 150W so you can use 1x 8pin to 1x 6 pin on riser (75W) and 1x 6pin on card (75W), There should be no problem with 8 pin card either... I wouldn't go for the Sata and definitly not for those SATA adapters! They are very low cost and bad quality. I tried 3 risers on 1 molex rail and it was no problem at all, Corsair HX1200 has quality cables they were only around 30° (IR thermometer). 3 risers on SATA works fine as well (Corsair). 4 doesn't work, will give issues with cards. |

Suggestions:
Be able to edit oneBash from the Linux partition
Stop using expect and modify the sudoers to give m1 passwordless sudo permission
Ability to monitor progress (or use screen by default)
Are there any quick fixes for what I wrote above?
.nathan.
Will be so in V016, but you can do it yourself: sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/90-m1
m1 ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
oneBash can be reached on the rig itself, with ssh, or you can copy it to the home directory, change it 2unix to the new location. |

fullzero,
Hello. First, thank you for all your hardwork on nvOC. Running 7 x zotac 1070 mini with your suggested settings. It makes everything so easy.
I am having one problem though , which I'm suspecting is a bad PCIE slot, but wanted to run it by you.
On my asus z270-a, the card on PCIE1_4 intermittently shows up. I've switched a known good card into it and it's still the same. Any ideas on what else I should try? Or just a bad board, and get it swapped?
Also, do you have a suggestion for another board that can do 9 gpu with 2xM2 slots?
Thanks again for your time!
You probably did, but did you change riser and USB cable? I had the same (on another MB), in the end it was the cable.. |

The motherboard will turn on but still not getting a signal on monitor from it.
CPU is intel Core i3-700
And PSU is 850w
And you're sure your USB stick is burned correctly? USB booting is enabled?
It's burned correctly but idk how i would be able to enable USB booting if I can't do anything with the mobo since its not connecting to my display It being a newer motherboard it wouldnt need to be set to USB boot With it not even posting. I would have to say bad CPU or memory Well that's just great. Just don't get why everything turns on and looks like its working and the display just wont connect. Do you have another board or CPU or memory to test? Not currently. Back to the store i guess Whenever there are weird problems with displaying; it is usually a problem with the bios not posting correctly due to a conflict in the system. To best mitigate this: Ensure the monitor is connected to the primary GPU ( the one in the 16x slot closest to the CPU ) Disconnect the USB or SSD/HHD from the rig. Fully power off everything: including the PSU. Press the power button several times to clear any remaining power in the mobo. Turn the PSU powerswitch back to | "on". power on (without the USB attached) See if the bios posts; if you get nothing in 20 seconds; press ctrl + alt + del repeatedly until the system reboots. Wait and see if the bios posts. If the bios posts attach the USB key and press ctrl + alt + delete. Let me know if this works. One last resort, no cards, connect to the MB VGA, reset the BIOS with the jumper on the MB. After that power on to see if you get any BIOS messages. |

@Fullzero. How do you start oneBash script. I see it automatically starts when you open a terminal. Is there a specific reason it works like this? How plausible would it be for me to change it so that the bash file is called on startup through a cron or rc.local call? That way it can easily be converted to run in a screen and is not dependent on having a terminal window open. I can't get it working via SSH as your post describes here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg19503300#msg19503300. I know I linked it earlier, but something along these lines: http://www.cryptobadger.com/2017/04/build-ethereum-mining-rig-linux/Please do not make any changes on my account. If you can just point me in the right direction on your current startup method I can figure it out. You need the oneBash to set overclocking etc. So that's good when run automatically. You can remove the miner part like i've done, and replace the miner command at the end with top. That will run indefinately too. Your cron job contains the miner, only start your miner script after you found that top is running (if pgrep top), that way you know all the OC commands are processed. |

Alright so I'm sort of at a loss for this one. I have everything connected, psu mobo CPU and gpu. I turn it on and everything fires up. Connect it to monitor, and my monitor displays no signal. I have tried different cables, plugging monitor into mobo instead of card, using a different monitor, and nothing. However, when the motherboard is on, everything will run for about 10 seconds, then cut off for 2 seconds, then pick back up again. No idea why it isn't connecting to the monitor. Any help would be greatly appreaciates
Is the motherboard throwing out error codes? What's your setup too I can't even tell. When it is connected to the monitor, the monitor is not reading it. like the motherboard isn't sending a signal. I have tried 2 monitors and 3 different cables. Have also tried connecting to gpu, mobo, and mobo with gpu not connected. Building a trio 2 1080ti and 1 1070 mini with GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3 mobo. Does the motherboard boot without a gpu in it? Does the CPU have intergraded graphics? How big the power supply you have? The motherboard will turn on but still not getting a signal on monitor from it. CPU is intel Core i3-700 And PSU is 850w And you're sure your USB stick is burned correctly? USB booting is enabled? |

Hi fullhero, I see that EWBF update to version 0.3.4b, do I need to reimage with the new nvOC version or I can update it directly in the OS? In addition I see that all MOBO now can use the same nvOC image v0015, right?
Thank you so much for your awesome work.
Yes just copy it and it works nicely (+0-2% faster). You might want to add --api 0.0.0.0:42000 to the miner string in oneBash, EWBF has a nice monitoring page now. |

Was tinkering with individual fan speed, but got some error. I'm aware I've changed quite a bit in oneBash, so thought I made a mistake. But I saw cool-bits=24, I thought it should be 28? 4 (fan speed) + 8 (powerMizer) + 16 (overclocking). Anyway, with cool-bits=28 it worked for me.

Hi,
Thanks for all your effort. Once I get everything up and running I hope there is somewhere I can donate.
I need some advice though. I'm trying to flash the image to a 16gb ADATA S102 flash drive (Capacity shows 15.81GB in HDD Raw Copy), but it fails at 99%. is there something I can do, or should I get a bigger flash?
You should get a bigger one. But at times it will still work, so you can test it. If the system boots and starts mining, all is ok. Be patient, booting (depending on number of cards) can take a couple of minutes. Make sure you've read the OP, connect a monitor to GPU0 (not the internal video card) to see the booting process. All is automated, so just wait and see .. |

Just did a small test with the new EWBF 0.3.4B miner and it is indeed 2% faster. Not sure if dev fee is fixed now, that would make the performance gain useless. This version does have a web statuspage to view some info about the miner.
