[Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Manage Your GPU farm the easy way! (30 days free)

[citronick]

Converted my new stock rig Gigabyte RX470s 6xGPU on TB85 to the new 12xGPU Biostar TB250-BTC PRO
Got it to work with 12 GPUs on smOS.
Celeron G3930, 8GB RAM, 2400watts Delta server PSU Kit

Do you have a way to undervolt them, or you just dont mind?
Missing -100mv setting from afterburner will add to quite a lot on 12 GPUs

Modded roms - basic 1500 straps goes a long way to reduce power bill and manage heat.
Rule No 1 -- always undervolt especially if you run GPU farms.
Rig stability, steady hash and keeping the PSU happy are more important than record-breaking hash-rates.

Is any miner in SMOS to mine x13 algo?

[Old_Timer]

Got 3 rigs with rx 470's Sapphire & Asus

After more than 1 month with smOS I am forced to abandon it in favor of Windows.

The reason is that I cannot control power consumption effectively.

Whatever DPM levels I set power usage is almost unaffected.

With windows a simple afterburner -96 mv setting is enough to reduce my 6 gpu rigs from 950 to 750-800 watt and my 5 gpu rig from 800 to 670.

I can only think that with further research in windows consumption is going to go lower.

Therefore Tytanyk I think you should try to do something with RX series Voltage controls.

What is SimpleMining OS (SMOS) ?
It is nice looking and easy Operating system for mining on AMD GPUs

Most wanted info:
- idea is simple: download for free my OS and write it to any drive: Hard / SSD / even USB drive
- after that you just enter your email address in config.txt file and boot your rig
- login to simplemining.net dashboard using the same email and start managing your rig
- for now service is free but in near future it will be small cost per rig like 1 $ per rig per month
- if there will be new miner i will implement it fast with auto-updates system

Requirements:
- R OS = AMD GPUs R300/R200/HD7xxx series
- RX OS - AMD GPUs RX400/RX500 series
- hard drive / ssd / usb drive - it must be 7GB or bigger
- at least 1-4GB system memory (depend how much GPUs are you using and what miner)

About me
- I am linux admin for about 13 years and crypto miner for 5 years
- Linux, programming, scripting, mining are my hobbies
- i am honest and simple IT guy who whants to make world better and give something to it
- if you want to make donation BTC: 1ERRVbvV23h51ScH73nQr6TDmaieKNuuVD
- if you want to contact me about anything just write: admin@simplemining.net

Hi, I have a problem, when I try to install, simplemining, in my usb, with HDRAWCOPYTOOL, in windows 10, at the end of the installation, it does not copy anything, in the usb, already tried, several times, and the problem persists, Idea, what can happen?

Hey guys

new to the cryto game;

i managed to build my rig as follows:

GPU's: 4 x MSI RX570 4GB & 2 Gigabyte RX570 4GB
OS: windows 10 home
HDD: 128gb Kingston SSD
Motherboard: MSI H270 gaming M3
CPU: Pentium G4560
RAM: 8gb g.skill ripjaws DDR4 2400
PSU: Corsair HX1200i platinum

The situation is this:

I have 4 GPU's firing with a combined hash rate of 105 MH/s running relatively cool.

I have been stumped as to why i cant get the other 2 cards visible in Display Adapters.

After a bit of googling it i came across a post stating that it might be the OS so i decided to give Simplemining OS a try;

After mounting it on the usb and booting it it up i keep getting a frozen colourful screen; anyone can help me?

Many thanks

I see alot of people still have issues getting the smos image into fresh USB thumb drive and getting into smos mining.

Here is a good video on how to the above step by step from BBT Youtube channel.

I use the latest NVIDIA image, and the memory overclock works fine for 1060 and 1070. But I can't overclock the 1050Ti memory clock. (It works fine in windows)
Does anybody else have this issue? Can you look into this?

Have you flashed the latest bios to your mainboard? Have you changed the bios settings to support 4+ cards? (4g decoding, etc)

I also had problems with these boards, and I should allow IGP and use the integrated videocard to work fine.

[dikx]

hey!
so I have 2x1070 and 2x1060 and I'm using the smOS. I use the overclock standard feature to offset the values, however, it seems that by offsetting for 2 different models smOS gets confused.

Settings:
Core: 100
Mem: 1200
Power Limit: 100W

Core/Mem
1771 1101 1898 1531 (100)
4404 4404 4404 4404

Does anybody knows if this is correct?

I have a tb250-btc pro motherboard that supports 12 cards and 12 1060s hooked up, but whenever I boot up I get scrolling PCIe Bus errors. The bios is set to mining mode - above 6g and SMOS supports 15 cards so theoretically there shouldn't be an issue. I know one guy here got the same board up and running with 12, but I can't seem to get over 6 without these issues. I've talked to the dev and he's working on it, but I want to ask if anyone has had and overcome this issue in the meantime.

Bootup with PCI-16x slot
Goto BIOS
Disable Sound
Power ON after power loss
On board graphics - Enabled, select IGFX

Save reboot

*** set all PCI speed to "Gen 2" if that helps

Hello, anyone here been able to use Biostar TB250-PRO BTC with 6 cards on Simple Mining ? I'm not able to boot the image with more than 1 GPU. Any suggestions are welcome.

Do you mean tb250-btc pro?  I've got 6 but the full 12 throws errors. Did you go into BIOS and change it to mining mode?

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately this didn't help. We're still getting scrolling errors that say:

PCIe Bus Error: Severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, id=00db(Receiver ID)
    device [8086:aZee] error status/mask=00000001/00002000
   

• receiver error (first)

Any ideas?

Disable aspm via bios and if that doesn't help smos dev must add some kernel boot options to /etc/default/grub

[pkefal]

Hi guys,

I'm running the latest Nvidia OS build with 6 x Zotac GTX 1070, no overclocking, no Power watt limit, pure stock. PSU is a 1500W AXi from Corsair so there is more than enough juice. 5 cards work fine.. at the moment I connect a 6th one, whole system crashes/reboots after a few seconds and once mining starts. I checked the risers and mix and matched the connections and they all check out, so I'm out of ideas as I can't really tell what's going on and if it's the software crashing or a hardware issue. It doesn't seem as a hardware issue as I tried all the cards one by one and also different combinations of 5 cards running at a time (e.g. only 0-1, 4 and 5 and 6 connected by disconnecting the USB end), none of them had an issue or any of the combos. It's only when all 6 run together.

Mobo is a MSI Carbon Gaming Pro Z170. I've disabled Audio, enabled 4G decoding/mining, only IGD with 32M, latest bios. Gen on PCIs is set to Auth, but I tried with Gen2 as well, same result.

Any ideas how to debug this?

Have been reading back in the threads a few weeks but haven't found anything that I haven't already tried or specifically related to my mb and gpus.

Asus Prime Z270-A
GeForce GTX 1070 Windforce OC 8G x6

Updated BIOS on the MB
Disabled Sound
Power ON after power loss selected
On board graphics - Enabled selected IGFX
All PCI speed to Gen 2
Above 4G Enabled
ASPM is Disabled
Plugged into the onboard graphics via the HDMI port

SMos boots from my 128G USB2 pen drive with the NV version but see's only 2 of the 6 GPU's.  I've unplugged all but three for now.  If I can get 3 going I'll move on to 4 and so on.

I've checked all my risers and cards and they all work in Windows 10 but also not at the same time.  Just fyi I also had an MSI Z170A SLI Plus and sent it back thinking it was a mobo issue.

Has anyone had any success with this board and gpu combo yet?  If so what am I missing or not setting correctly in the BIOS?  On the PCI speed I've tried all settings... Auto, Gen1, Gen2 and Gen 3.  The setting listed above are what I have set currently.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I just register the account and running my rig using the SM OS, but I cant login into my account at simplemining.net...

do i have to wait a bit or anything else i need to do?

boot up with less than 6 x GPUs and do the BIOS settings..

I have spend 6 hours of test with this mobo and 6 cards, tried both images - normal RX and z170image. None of the bios settings help to boot up with more than 1 gpu. I tried every possible combination and it's not booting. Problem is the kernel seems to not work fine with this Biostar, this guy here have the same observation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_VoWV9ENa0&feature=youtu.be  so it's not just two of us. Can we have a version for this MB, please ?
