Does bumping fan speed to 100 effect power usage much if really at all?
Only negative is noise? Maybe more wear and tear?

Depending on a lot of factors - brand of card (and therefore quality of components), luck, environmental setting the cards are in, etc - running gpu fans at 100% all the time will wear the fans out much more quickly. I believe they are spec'd to ideally run for the life of the rest of the card's components at about 60% all the time, and going above that is supposed to be just for extreme situations in gaming - which is what these cards were actually designed for.

I have been mining for over a year in Australia which is a very tough place for GPUs in the summer without aircon and I started out with used AMD cards mining ETH (in the good old days of mining 5 ETH every three days at 250mh/s). I have had to run the fans at 90%-100% sometimes with the cards at 80 degrees plus and in the last three months I have had many fan failures. I have some Sapphire Tri-X R9 290's and I have replaced the whole triple fan array on two cards, and one individual fan on another card. R9 290s are power hungry monsters and always ran really hot compared to other cards, and all cards use more power when they are hotter - so it's a "balancing act". 3 of the 1st 290s I ever bought were reference design blower style coolers and were SO loud in summer I had to watercool them (at ridiculous expense) or my lady would have either left or made me stop mining, because my rigs are in a room next our bedroom. One card I once owned i nicknamed "the lawnmower" because it was so f'ing loud. I sold it to a friend who didn't care. Watercooled cards are awesome - silent and always running at 50-60 degrees even on 40 degree days, but it certainly isn't economical in terms of ROI. I just did it because I love mining as a hobby and love modding stuff to make it work better. I still run those three watercooled cards and they have always been overclocked to within an inch of their lives and they keep on going at low temps and no noise.

I would encourage anyone to try to lower the temperature of the room if possible, spread the cards out as much as possible so the fans can "breathe" and use external fans (like even large domestic cooling fans) to blow the hot air away from around the rigs. Hopefully if any or all of these measures drop the temperature you should definitely lower the GPU fan speeds whenever possible.

In recent months I have been slowly migrating to Nvidia cards. I used to run 2 x 6 card AMD rigs. Now I have 1 x 5 card Nvidia rig (with 2 more 1070's on back-order)  and 1 x 4 card AMD rig (I sold the most "respectable" 2 cards on that rig recently - a Sapphire 390 nitro and an MSI 290x). I have been wondering what sort of temperatures are safe cruising for Nvidia cards. Older generation R9 AMD cards were always expected to run hot and designed that way because they were big power consumers, but Pascal cards that all run at 150W or less shouldn't be too hot that often right?

What kind of temperatures are you guys comfortable with on 1060/70/80s?

Hey newmz -- Thanks so much for the detailed answer !!!

Anyone know how to set up Mining Pool hub in 1 Bash? My attempts have failed

Here's one example:

MUSIC_WORKER="nv$IP_AS_WORKER"
MUSIC_ADDRESS="ATCkit9"
MUSIC_POOL="us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20585"
MUSIC_EXTENTION_ARGUMENTS=""

Are you just mining MUSIC or DUAL_MUSIC_XXX??

Let me know this, i will give you the code to work it out.

Seems simple enough. Will change it over the weekend.
Much appreciated.
I`m mining single coins only. With my AMD rig, I switch coins manually about once a day. MUSIC will be one of the coins I watch on What to mine.

In short, if you can show me what works for MUSIC, I can apply the logic for the other coins MPH offers.

search for this in oneBash

Code:

COIN == "MUSIC"

You will see the following

Code:

if [ $COIN == "MUSIC" ]
then

if [ $GENOILorCLAYMORE == "GENOIL-CURRENTLY-NOT-SUPPORTED" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/eth/Genoil-U/ethminer'

MUSICADDR="$MUSIC_ADDRESS/$MUSIC_WORKER"

screen -dmS miner $HCD -S $MUSIC_POOL -O $MUSICADDR:x -U

if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi

BITCOIN="theGROUND"

while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60
done
fi

this is the line you need to change

Code:

MUSICADDR="$MUSIC_ADDRESS/$MUSIC_WORKER"

replace the '/' with '.' and it should work.

The way I normally prefer follows like this, add '#' for the previous line and add new line with '.', it can be re used in future if necessary.

Code:

#MUSICADDR="$MUSIC_ADDRESS/$MUSIC_WORKER"
MUSICADDR="$MUSIC_ADDRESS.$MUSIC_WORKER"

Hope you already knew what to put in MUSIC_ADDRESS & MUSIC_WORKER and right mining port.

Good luck and let me know if you still have issue with it

Much appreciated.

On my 1060s and 1070s I run them between 50C-65C, the room I keep them in has a temp of 21C.

Hi!
I'm about to build a rig with Pentium G4400.
But after reading about Skylake issues with hyper threading don't know
should I use it or better to return and exchange it with i3?

Hi,
I have Lexar S75 32gb. After i installed 0018 im getting message "low disk space" I reflashed usb many times but error comes again and again

Hi,

I copied nvoc from USB to SSD drive.
Problem is it Cant find the onebash on boot.
When i click the disk on the gui homepage, it gets recognized and started..

Any bypass so i don't have to click it everytime and the disk gets mounted right or recognized immediately?

If you don't have an imaging program already download HDDRawCopy (Link)

Or get etcher for Mac / Linux / Windows Link

When using Etcher to image an SSD or HDD; you will first need to: click the gear at the top right of the application window and enable unsafe mode.


NOTE:  I have tested etcher on windows and confirmed it is not working correctly with v0018

For now I recommend only using hddrawcopy when imaging on Windows.


if you want to easily image SSDs this USB to Sata power and data adapter is great:

I Cant put the sdd in my computer, isn't there any possibility to fix this in Linux itself??

[Sambaba]

I have an issue with storage. I used usb 32gb to load the os. However, when I check property of "my computer" in linux, it only says 14gb capacity. I wonder what happens to the other 16gb. That's the reason why I always have warning of running out of storage. Anyone having the same issue?

fullzero, is it possible to use the hidden disk spaces? My usb key is 32GB, but I cannot see all of them in nvOC:

Code:

m1@m1-desktop:~$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs           392M   12M  380M   3% /run
/dev/sda2        15G   13G  920M  94% /
tmpfs           2.0G  192K  2.0G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs           2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs           392M   56K  392M   1% /run/user/1000
/dev/sda1       8.9M   60K  8.8M   1% /media/m1/1263-A96E

You can extend the primary partition on any key / ssd; by connecting it to a computer with nvOC that has already booted and clicking the ubuntu launcher at the top left and typing

Code:

gp

then click Gparted.  Find the sdb drive select the larger partition; it it is mounted unmount it; then rightclick and select resize and set the max size.

click the green checkmark to execute the change, wait for completion and it should be ~17gb larger.

Also you can remove unused header files with this oneliner from _Parallax_:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l linux-{image,headers}-"[0-9]*" | awk '/ii/{print $2}' | grep -ve "$(uname -r | sed -r 's/-[a-z]+//')")

THE IMAGE FITS A 16GB DRIVE--

The image is about 16GB.  It will not occupy the entire 32GB drive.  After flashing, you must resize the ~16GB partition created in order to use the entire drive.       --scryptr

Hi guys,

i do a little "how to" if some people want to mine SIGT / skunk algo.

First of all i use Palginmodccminer ( the SP_MOD is faster but u have to pay )

FIRST STEP GET THE CLIENT

### Be in home dir ###

cd /m1/home/

### Create a directory for your new miner ###

mkdir PMccminer

### Go in new dir ###

cd PMccminer/

### Download miner client ###

wget https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer/releases/download/1.1/palginmod_1.1_Ubuntu.tar.gz

### Extract the file ###

tar -zxvf palginmod_1.1_Ubuntu.tar.gz

### Delete start.sh ###

rm start.sh

### Back to home dir ###

cd /m1/home/

SECOND STEP EDIT BASH

### Open 1bash

nano 1bash

### Add SIGT  and  SIGT_BTC to the coin selection

# CHOOSE COIN FROM:
# DMD  GRS  ZPOOL_LYRA2V2  ZPOOL_BLAKE2S
# ZEC   ZCOIN  HUSH   ZEN  ZCL   SIGT  SIGT_BTC
# NICE_ETHASH  ETH    MUSIC  ETC  EXP  DCR  PASC
# MONA  VTC    DGB    SIA  FTC  LBC
# DUAL_ETC_DCR    DUAL_ETC_PASC    DUAL_ETC_LBC    DUAL_ETC_SC
# DUAL_EXP_DCR    DUAL_EXP_PASC    DUAL_EXP_LBC    DUAL_EXP_SC
# DUAL_ETH_DCR    DUAL_ETH_PASC    DUAL_ETH_LBC    DUAL_ETH_SC
# DUAL_MUSIC_DCR  DUAL_MUSIC_PASC  DUAL_MUSIC_LBC  DUAL_MUSIC_SC

### Add SIGT and SIGT_BTC specs ( u have to modify SIGT_WORKER and SIGT_ADDRESS by your seting )

SIGT_WORKER="SIGT"
SIGT_ADDRESS="Bibi187"
SIGT_POOL="stratum+tcp://sigt.suprnova.cc:7106"
 
###SIGT_BTC use BTC adresses###
SIGT_BTC_POOL="stratum+tcp://skunk.mine.zpool.ca:8433"

### If u use SIGT_BTC, be sure to get correct ( your BTC adress )

BTC_ADDRESS="3JJaMUVBJp55BNsGvYynaJhDXRyUf95hyG"

### Add miner specs to the end of ur file between the two last "fi"   ( ensure ur worker have x password on suprnova pool, or modify the "-p x" by "-p YourPassword" in the SIGT section )

if [ $COIN == "SIGT_BTC" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/PMccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$BTC_ADDRESS"
 
screen -dmS miner $HCD -a skunk -o $SIGT_BTC_POOL -u $ADDR -p c=SIGT
 
if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi
 
BITCOIN="theGROUND"
 
while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60
done
fi
 
if [ $COIN == "SIGT" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/PMccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$SIGT_ADDRESS.$SIGT_WORKER"
 
screen -dmS miner $HCD -a skunk -o $SIGT_POOL -u $ADDR -p x
 
if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi
 
BITCOIN="theGROUND"
 
while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60
done
fi

THIRD STEP OC SETTING ( ASUS 1070 GTX 8OG / prolly ok for most 1070 gtx )

First of all this algo, gona get a lot of heat from your card, he use core, not memory.

CoreClock : 120
MemClock : -2000
PowerLimit at default : 150W
Temp Target 70°
Fan between 95% - 75%  ( I use watchdog )

This fine tunning work like a charm 213mh/s on suprnova, 211mh/s on zpool

U have to disable

IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG="NO"

Or your RIG gona get restart for nothing, i dont modify IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG, if i do prolly i can get him work with this setup but more simple to stop him for this coin


Et voila

I'm experiencing a slight inconvenience with the system. I have a MSI Z170 Gaming M5 motherboard with 7 GTX 1070 GPUs connected to it. Configured the motherboard as per the instructions and wrote nvOC onto an SSD drive. The system works great when I have only one GPU connected to the motherboard (boots, GUI loads, and it starts mining).

But, once I connect all 7 GPUs, it takes much longer to load and I only get a blank screen. The monitor is connected to the first GPU. The system starts mining after a while but my display remains blank.

Any ideas?

[BigHashMiner]

bah, no support. no use.

So you expect the dev to never take a break from work and be available 24/7 to support a product they provide free for the community?

how does me saying no support, no use has something in there saying that the dev should not take a break. the nvoc is not supporting what I am doing, so there is no use for it for me. really just basic english i am using here, there wasn't anything hidden in what i was saying.

and actually i think this is a great addition to the community, free or not free.
