My rig stops mining dual coin but keeps digging ETH after some random time. It is sometimes a day but sometimes an hour.

It says it can not resolve "sia.pool.that.I.am.using" and does not get new job from sia pool. So far I tried siamining and nanopool.

This happened both when rig is connected to modem with ethernet cable and/or when connected to a wireless repeater with a cable which itself is connected to modem wirelessly.

BTW, when this happens rig seems offline on the dashboard.

When I restrat then it throws some errors as it can not find required voltage in voltage table and amd gpu pro driver and powerplay errors.
It runs on the next restart wen I physically cut and restore power?

Any ideas? Is it because of bios mods on the gpus?

If this keeps happening I plan to switch Windows. It is a 5 RX 570 Rig. I read 6 gpu is kinda problematic in Windows but 5 GPU can run.

But I appreciate SMOS and already deposited som ecredit to my account.

I was trying to start mining with SM, but I see only cursor blinking just after bios starting...
MOBO is 990FXA GD65, 6 x rx 570.
Trying also Ethos and everything working fine...
Any ideas?

Hi,

I started my mining adventure with GA-990FXA-D3 few weeks ago from beginning I'm using SMOS (thank you tytanick!) and i tried to force it to run with 6 cards but with no success Week ago i bought another GA-990FXA-D3 but with second board i was unable to start more than 4 cards... after comparing this two setups I find out that older board has F8 BIOS and this newer is F9a so i flashed F8. After restart still only 4 cards was working but i saw lots of errors that didn't appear before after some time i figure out that key option that allow start with 5 cards is enabling "Spread Spectrum".

So with 6 cards i have exactly same issue on 2 rigs and it will be great if i will be able to run 2 cards that right now are mining only dust on the shelf. I also have PCIe SSD with windows that i used to re-flash cards and widows started up with 5 cards and SSD (all PCIe slots occupied) but when i tried boot SMOS i had same issue like with 6 cards.

PS. I`m using gigabyte rx480 :
ETH: GPU0 28.738 Mh/s, GPU1 28.728 Mh/s, GPU2 28.753 Mh/s, GPU3 28.747 Mh/s, GPU4 28.747 Mh/s
GPU0 t=73C fan=100%, GPU1 t=69C fan=100%, GPU2 t=74C fan=100%, GPU3 t=74C fan=100%, GPU4 t=74C fan=100%

ETH: GPU0 28.752 Mh/s, GPU1 28.735 Mh/s, GPU2 20.708 Mh/s, GPU3 29.121 Mh/s, GPU4 28.746 Mh/s
GPU0 t=71C fan=100%, GPU1 t=75C fan=100%, GPU2 t=67C fan=81%, GPU3 t=70C fan=81%, GPU4 t=71C fan=88%

Hi Admin,

Thanks for the great work!

Just tried it on my new rig building, it's
Asrock X58 Extreme, with three RX 480 8GB, BIOS Strip mode 1725 timing copied to 2000

However it seems with simlemining os, one of the card is showing as faulty and constantly crashing restarting the miner.

Here's photo showing the fault problem:

however they do work fine under Windows.

Also while first booting up, it retries five time to connect to server, will that be a issue?

Back to windows for now.

Yep got it.

I realize I might have put in incorrect parameters for the Claymore miner to overclock/control those cards, I'll remove all those parameters and reboot later to see how it goes.

Hello, i wanted to say thank your for your work, everything working good and stable.....and i have a question about overlocking, try to change settings and nothing happend....am i understand rightly that this funktions not working with NVidia yet?

[Olbap]

Dear Tytanick,

i just wanna shout out a f***in big THANK YOU.

I started with Mining a month ago, started with mining FTC. But then, i decided to try to jump on the ETH-train with a 6 GPU-Rig.
I have learned a lot about Mining with Windows, Mining with different Miners setup by myself on Linux.

Then i tried SMOS. And i LOVE it.

No Downtimes, Crashes etc. for nearly a month. I fired up a second 6 GPU-Rig six days ago, and it's running. And running. And running, like a Duracell-Bunny.

Tomorrow i'm gonna build a third Rig with 7 GPU's, based on a MSI Z97 Gaming 7. I will report how it works.


BTW, 2$/Month per Rig is a gift. Tytanick, you are the MAAAAN

FLASHING TUTORIAL To flash its important to do following:
- ssh as user "miner" and execute: screen -x miner  .... and then press ctrl+c few times until whole screen exits.
- go to root writing sudo su
- execute command: dmesg -c - this will clear system log - this is where my syftoware watchdog is looking for some critical erros, if it finds them it execute reboot command.
- go to atiflash directory and
atiflash -p 0 custom_bios.rom
atiflash -p 1 custom_bios.rom
etc

By "atiflash directory" you mean "utils" directory?
How do i transfer my custom_bios.rom to utils folder?

Hopefully someone can help me.... My risers are working in windows both the ones connected to x16 and x1. However if i try to load into simple mining i get stuck in an amd loop timeout. I disconnected the risers going into the x1 and and can boot into simplemining with any gpus with risers plugged into x16. I am thinking this is a compatibility issue with simple mining and my motherboard msi 970a-g43 ( Latest bios ) ? Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem?  I'd hate to give simple mining the boot, its been good to me!

I had to load one gpu at a time to get the loop to
Not happen

How do i load one gpu at a time?

I did try a single gpu plugged into the x1 and it did not work.

Hi to all! I'm not able to start my miner with simpleminingOS.. I've flashed my USB drive, edited the config file and try to boot it several times.. It boot without any problem but at a certain point it appears on the screen:

simplemining Ubuntu...
simplemining login:
password:

And it stops (i don't know which login info I should use..), I can't see my rig in the dasboard..

I searchd among different forums, no one never had this issue before...
I don't know what to do.
I really hope someone here will give me an explanation.

Thanks in advance!!

[tomfullery]

Hey Tytanick im a newbie miner and i really enjoy your work! I don't think it gets any easier 

When do you think full nvidia support will happen?

Thanks

Check the -di parameter (for Eth mining at least)

-di 0 will mine on the first GPU only. -di 02 will only mine on the first and third GPU.

Cant wait for Nvidia OC support! bring it on!!!

[mezerwi]

Help needed here,

Current setup

2x480, 1x470, 1x570
Asrock Btc Pro
8GB Ram
usb boot



So my rig run perfectly fine with this 4 cards

Problem happen when i plug in the 5th card - Rx560 4G

The miner wont start. (suspect issue with fifth card so disconnect one of the 470 and run with 4 card including the 560, still wont start)

RX and R9 don't run well on the same board.  Different drivers.  You're gonna have to start a new rig for your RX cards.

How do i transfer my custom_bios.rom to utils folder?

yes the atiflash dir is the utils dir
I transferred the custom roms by hosting the file somewhere, then navigating to your home dir and typing
> wget http://mysite.com/custom_bios.rom
then type in the miner home dir:
> ~/utils/atiflash -p 0 custom_bios.rom
