Announcing OS

[miropp]

All is about price/performance...

How is it with fan speed control? Is it only software mod, or any hw mod? And fan speed range in %?
Im asking because I have my Pandaminer in very cold room where is only 5C.

Exactly my thoughts.

Fan speed control works just fine, but not on the pandaminer as those fans are not controllable.
If you check Phillip's thread you'll see that he did a small mod to be able to control them.

Anyhow, in my case, those gpu's almost never exceed 50 degrees..

I will boot it up and i'll let it mine to the demo account so you can see.

Looks like SimpleMiningOS, but little bit more expensive 
Why are you limiting yourself by a pandaminer thing? They will produce 500 pieces ? 1000? 5000?  Uncompared to regular mining rigs.
Strange decision!

Haha,

Looks like Ethos, Pimp and SimpleminingOS, a combination of the best features of them all + some extra..

Expensive is relative. It could be for you, but not for someone who sees the benefit of it. Don't forget that the high price mainly comes from the rom.

If you would realize how much work, time and effort it takes to create something like this, you'd think otherwise.
If Simplemining admin wants to do all of this for free, that's good for him I don't.

I'm limiting myself because as i've mentioned, i do not have the time and to be honest, not in the mood to offer support for single copies or a lot of people.

+ like you said yourself, there's already PiMP, Ethos and Simplemining.

No problem, you are the boss!
BTW is it possible to deep tune bios for card i need? for example SAPPHIRE NITRO+ OC 470 4G. If yes, PM me with price and conditions.

Sure thing!

And you've got yourself (to be honest) one of the best cards out there

Agree, but memory mess makes it untrivial....Elpida,Hynix,Samsung - all under same partnumber.

a quick first replay because I bought already the Pandaminer OS with the ROM for the MXM cards.

Quit suprised over all I can say already  

PandaMiner OS is working as expected. Full review will follow in a few days.
What should I test on it? For now, I running monero on it and it uses around 830w in total for the whole panda miner which is way more better than with the stock rom (which was around 950w).

Also I tested just the mxm rom on a Windows Panda Miner, I let it run for a few hours mining monero now and got a stable hashrate around 6500 h/s! This is pretty impressiv because with the stock rom I got only a stable hashrat around 5950 h/s!

I'll do a full review in a couple of days with some screenshots of course.

Let me know if you would like to see some test results for other cryptos.

Just for now, Eliovp did already a great Job with the MXM 480 rom! And he is as well on a really good way for is PandaMiner OS. If you are planing to run some pandaminers you should definatly get in touch with him  

thanks for it Eliovp and for your trust in me

best regards

Did you buy an already modified pandaminer or did you mod it yourself and load up Pandaminer OS?

I finally got around to setting up xmr on stock windows on the pandaminer I can confirm stock pandaminer does 5850-5950 pulls around 1000 watts using an evga 1600 g2 psu.

I have yet to get the os+rom from Eliovp, but if and when I do I will post numbers also.

Stock pandaminer  for me =

 eth not stable
zec stable at 1.7h  with around 1000 watts
xmr stable at 5900h with around 1000 watts     in both case all stock other then my fan mod.

so if you are getting 5 pandaminers or more  a jump in xmr from 5900h to 6500h and a drop in watts of 12% is pretty good.deal.

My pandaminer w/ Chinese W10 (Crimson V16.9.2) is stable in all eth/zec/xmr
Only first run in first hour was a bit unreliable in eth. Then I updated all mining SW (all new Claymore) and 2 weeks it is working without problems.
ZEC (Clay 11.1) is about 2065s/s, ETH 232MHash

What was your default frequencies? There are plenty .rom files in the directory c:\01
In my PandaM it is 1220MHz core/2000 mem. I heard that some people have a different values.
Otherwise ASIC quality is in average a bit lower (65,65,66,67,64,69,80,74%)

How many sol/s and how much watts at wall please? Which gpus are you using?

[suggsy89]

Eliovp, I fully support your decision. It looks like you've put a lot of work into this, well done, and good luck.

Yes  he did 2-3 weeks of work he deserves a paycheck.

It is tough on anyone that wanted 1 or 2 pandaminers as it is too costly for them to buy from him. I will continue with the stock miner and sell off more gear.  Once I have enough for a second pandaminer and have read how well this build does I will spring for the os and the roms.

For now I will use stock os with claymore 9.7 and mine xmr.

Seems to run the coolest doing xmr  which allows my fan mod to turn down the sound a bit more.

I have already two panda miners. I bought just the OS from Eliovp with the rom included. He will give you a download link for the OS image and some instructions how to but it on the panda miner. It's really easy and after you restored the image on your panda, just boot and the graphic card will be flashed fully automatically with his awesome custom rom. It all takes about 10-15min and than you have a perfectly managed running panda miner

[Eliovp]

Thx everyone for the nice words

Really appreciate it!

Will continue my work on the monitor/manager.

Got a huge todo list which i plan to finish ASAP.

Something that i haven't seen mentioned before, the pandaminer gets delivered with already modified roms.
Meaning, they already used PolarisBiosEditor to copy straps.

So on top of that, i was still able to increase the hash and decrease power

Greetings!

Nice work! Sad it unavailable for regular rigs...

$1000 usd per rig for some fancy web screens and some neat tools?
only large farms can afford that , maybe an extra $100
per miner would be worth it $200 at the most

margins are already thin for most miners its great work but
not many will be able to afford it

If you pay 400$ (and buy the pandaminer directly on the panda miner site) you get the OS and the ROM, each rig will cost you only 30$ afterwords. Thats totally fine I would say. i Agree to buy the pandaminer with the OS and ROM as one package its expensive but as long as you buy the panda miner by urself its totally okay.

So the rom mod is a one time purchase, after that you pay only for the licence per pandaminer to run the OS ?
