I am getting old sucks. I unpacked the .rar
I now have a disk partition LDWosPhilip-00-00
I have a 3.0 usb that will boot into macrium
I am going to boot with the 3.0 usb and attempt to get it to load that disk partiton

Yeah took a while but it did get it to load. I still have issues on the website. It is far more complex then simple mining's site. I just have OS no roms. I will try to run three rigs 1 panda miner 2 biostar rx 470 rigs. I took the pandaminer off Eliovp's site and went back to simplemining . Tomorrow I will clone the working os and run 2 other rigs. As I have up to 10 on my license . Looks to be a better website but a lot to learn. test rig is mining for Eliovp don't seem to be able to switch it to my pool choice. Tired will get back to it on Sunday  should be mining here  |

I have a question for the linux guys....
I installed CentOS on a computer with a Z87 intel chipset. Can I take that hard drive and plug it into an AMD motherboard and expect it to work? Am I better off reinstalling from scratch? Is there a third way to do this?
I've heard it will work, but figured I'd run it past the people here.
well if you only have the linux hdd hooked up and keep the older os disconnected it should work. my simplemining sticks and m2 ssd's work on every single intel board gens 4,5,6,7 they are linux. <snip> I ended up reinstalling linux from scratch. 5 GPUs works fine on this GA-990FXA-UD7 board, but once I put in the 6th GPU, the OS will not load. I don't get past the bootloader. The board bios is very basic, I don't seem to see any option to select the PCIe speed. Is there an OS setting to allow 6 or more GPUs? I'm using CentOS 7.3. |

@LoneRangir keep plugging away at it. I finally got a working Eliovp os on a one card test miner to work. yeah it is a rx 460 I will let it run for a day then add some more gear. I am also getting one more biostar z170 on thursday it is an rma repair this will allow a tad more expansion of gpus.   |

16 = green
15 = black
should work
thanks Phil. Using the pin hole not used as the marker, the pins 15 and 16 should be the correct ones. I should really get a proper jump kit for this but for now the quick and dirty way will sufficient for testing purposes. NOTE: working great, tested with a fan 1300 G2 when I bought my pair included a black plastic plug-in piece that acted as a jumper. |

Got my rig (6 MSI RX 470 Gaming) up and running on Sat. So far have done nothing but fire up the Claymore 9.7 XMR miner. Was expecting all sorts of issues getting it to run right but all 6 cards were detected fine and its running along at 3300 h/s since Saturday. These cards are so quiet, can hardly tell its on other than the PSU fan. I know they run faster than that but have not messed with any settings at all yet. Going to try and set it up for ETH today and see how it does.

you can get 550 easy per card 600 with a clock adjustment. Meanwhile I am working with Eliovp 's mining os it is more complex the simplemining. I can do a 1 card rig fine I can do a 2 card rig fine I can do a 3 card rig fine I can do a 4 card rig fine. I have yet to try the 8 card pandaminer But I have the following problems. I can not seem to rename my miner I can not do 2 rigs. I should be able to up to ten. I can not change name or add a second rig  |

you can get 550 easy per card 600 with a clock adjustment. That is what I am getting right now (3300 total for 550 each card) without touching anything. Ran GPU-Z today to check the memory and they are all Hynix. Downloaded the ETC miner but did not have time to test it out. |

@LoneRangir keep plugging away at it.
Tried Ubuntu 16 instead of CentOS 7. Same thing. Gets goofed up in the bootloader when 6 cards are present. I'll have to see if there is a MB bois update. |

I may give it a shot, but at this point, I'm leaning towards a hardware issue getting to six, rather than software. Since smOS is linux-based, I have little hope that it will see all six. I'd love to be wrong, though  |

I have enough of W10 and its bloody updates. I still have Win7 however, for my day-to-day workstation, Teamviewer, other monitoring, etc. in warehouse. But its all Mac and virtualised Win7 and Ubuntu at home |

But its all Mac and virtualised Win7 and Ubuntu at home I've not done an apples-to-apples comparison yet, but the power usage under Linux (and perhaps smOS?) seems to be much higher. Four of the five working cards are reference 480s with modified firmware (low energy), but their usage feels way too high. And there's not great way to tweak the voltage further under Linux. I'll do an actual compare when I get more time |

Mining ZEC... just over 1000watts Mining ETH... just under 1200 watts. If I recall during Windows.... its no better than this. For smOS, the kernel used in that Linux version seems to be where the magic sauce lies, and faster performance and power consumption are much improved in the last kernel update by Tytanick. |

I have 4 pandas and 51 rigs on Eliovp's site. It works well. Mining monero right now on pandas getting 6.4/6.5K on his rom and roughly 950 or so watts. My 51 x 6 cards rigs RX470's getting 4.52K on 640 Watts =)
These are Eliovp custom roms so not free but well worth it.
