my rigs keep restarting after few minutes. Some after 5 mins some after 30. Im not sure why this keeps happening.

im using all 1070's with core 100 / 1050 also i tried 150-200 / 1100-1600. No luck

I'm trying to make changes to my xorg.conf, and when I do after reboot the file is always wiped. Why does this file keep getting overwritten after reboot?

what is your power limit on them? for 1070s I would push around 120-125 with a moderate/heavy OC. Anything less can cause stability problems.

I've updated my switcher to separate out the configuration from the rest of the code:

https://gitlab.com/salfter/nvoc-nicehash-switcher

Configuration now resides in a JSON file that is easily edited, whether manually or automatically.  I'm looking at the latest 1bash to have it generate this file at runtime.

I also think I've found and eliminated a source of instability in my mining rig:



After moving from a tower case to a Spotswood frame, I noticed that the power cable feeding one of the GPUs was noticeably warm, and so were the Molex connectors on that cable that plugged into the adapter shown above.  I suspect the wiring on the Molex-connector cable on this power supply isn't as beefy as the others, on the theory that it'll only have some fans and (very rarely) a floppy drive hanging off of it, not a hard drive (since those are all SATA now) or anything more power-hungry.  daggerhashimoto was the only algo running with any stability, and a voltmeter on one of the unused Molex connectors showed a drop on the +12V line down to 11.3V.  Nearly any other algo would cause the GPU to drop off the bus.

I picked up different adapters at Fry's this afternoon that go from two SATA connectors to one PCIe connector.  (I already had one of these in use powering another GPU with an 8-pin connector.  I bought two more for the 8- and 6-pin connectors on the problematic GPU.)  I swapped them in when I got home, fired up the rig, and saw that the drop on +12V had improved to 11.65V, which I think is in spec.  Not only that, but I benchmarked all algos supported by the switcher with the new three-GPU configuration, and not once did I have to reboot.

Now I just need my PCIe risers to arrive...and maybe also to replace the 650W ATX power supply I'm currently using with one of those server power supplies with an adapter that provides lots of PCIe outputs, as this one's nearly maxed out for connectivity.  (Three 1070s and an Asus Prime Z270-AR also draw about 400W with the cards underclocked.)  I remember seeing one company bundling a picoPSU with theirs so you could run the motherboard off a PCIe cable.

Hey salfter / Scott, is it possible to add individual OC settings to the JSON file? For instance:

Original:
"power_limit": [115,115,95], "gpu_oc": -200, "mem_oc": 600, "fan": [70,75,70]

Individual OC:
"power_limit": [115,115,95], "gpu_oc": [-200,0,50], "mem_oc": [600,1000,800], "fan": [70,75,70]

From what I could see in the "for i in range(0, cards)" loop in switch.py, you already implemented that. So, just checking if my understanding is correct -- otherwise, I'd like to suggest it as a new feature.

And thanks for your great work (very elegant approach with the JSON file, btw).

EDIT: ooops, checking the SIA example in the README, it seems my question is already answered, lol.

That's exactly how it works.  I left in examples configured both ways.

I took a stab at updating 1bash for the new switcher.  Instead of writing a bunch of small files, a heredoc with the necessary JSON is written, and then the switcher is started with that JSON file.  The following patch should work:

Hi guys! Guys with 1080Ti mining LBC, how did you set up 1bash to mine this coin? I still can't beat an issue with worker autentification. What should I paste in 1bash? Please advice. Thank you!

[Maxximus007]

Hi All,

A GPU was lost in a rig this weekend, and unfortunately the watchdog did not reboot the rig. After inspection, nvidia-smi is not just reporting the new number of GPU's, but gives a warning. Watchdog was not ready for this message, and just errored.

Therefore a new code block for Watchdog:

Code:

  numtest='^[0-9]+$'
  
  for UTIL in $UTILIZATIONS
  do
    if ! [[ $UTIL =~ $numtest ]]
    then
        # Not numeric so: Help we've lost a GPU, so reboot
        echo "$(date) - Lost GPU so restarting system. Found GPU's:" | tee -a ${LOG_FILE}
        echo "" | tee -a ${LOG_FILE}
        #Hope PCI BUS info will help find the faulty GPU
        nvidia-smi --query-gpu=gpu_bus_id --format=csv | tee -a ${LOG_FILE}
        echo "reboot in 10 seconds"
        echo ""
        sleep 10
        sudo reboot
    fi

    # If utilization is lower than threshold count them:
    if [ $UTIL -lt $THRESHOLD ]
    then
      echo "$(date) - GPU under threshold found"
      echo ""
      let COUNT=COUNT-1
    fi
    let GPU=GPU+1
  done

just replace the old "for UTIL in $UTILIZATIONS.." block with the new one.

I have NV 1060. How I can change Performance Level from 2 to 3 in Nvidia X server settings?

in 1bash set:

Code:

GPUPowerMizerMode_Adjust="YES"

GPUPowerMizerMode=3

or open a new guake tab and enter:

Code:

sudo nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=3

changing the number in (gpu:0) for the GPU you are adjusting.

Hi fullzero, any fix issue about this ?

Mode on GPUPowerMizer 0-1-2-3
Ubuntu dont detect the 3 one.

EDIT : how can i grab some log when i soft crash ? I would like to check this.

EDIT2 : My main GPU0, with display attached, got some mh/s drop like -3mh/s on max on period. That from the display ? Working on "REMOTE" + ssh fix the issue ?

im using all 1070's with core 100 / 1050 also i tried 150-200 / 1100-1600. No luck

what is your power limit on them? for 1070s I would push around 120-125 with a moderate/heavy OC. Anything less can cause stability problems.

my power limits are all at 125

With your core around 100, 125 may not be enough for the card. Try running 100cc and put it around power level 130-135, if you are doing ETH, it is sometimes better to do negative core since it has very little affect on hash rate and uses a lot more power. My 1070 ETH rig runs -100 cc and between 1200-1275 mem.

If that does not solve the problem, I would check to make sure everything is connected properly, I had one time one of my riser USB was not in all the way and had intermittent connection and was causing my problems.

Hi Fullzero! Great job!! Thank you.
New coin is out there  SIGT signatum. Can you add it please?

[scryptr]

I AM WAITING ON THE 0019 RELEASE--

With the "1bash" file corrections and the many bug fixes being put in place, I think I will wait for the next release.  The system looks good, but it is complex with a steep learning curve.  The promise of profit-switching is attractive, really.

I was not able to configure my system.  The many file changes required to start up and mine in a stable configuration escaped me.  I suggest releasing a configuration GUI, or at least a tutorial page, soon.

Another thing; it would make more sense to me if there was one block of script where all the temperature, overclock, time duration, and etc. is set.  Then all the other patched together crazy quilt parts of 1bash could read`from there.  I'm looking from outside in, and haven't been working along with the project.

I'm following along in the blog until the system makes sense.  I'd like to be able to boot and mine with no overclock or temperature control, and then add control, switching, and overclock in steps afterwards.

Good afternoon!
===
I'll start with the configuration of my equipment:
GPU - 13 Colorful P106-100 Mining (without video outputs) Edition or 12 + 1 MSI 1060/6 (with video output)
Motherboard H110 Pro BTC
===
Downloaded and installed nvoc 18 version.
Starting with the first run, the system immediately began to issue an error and go into reboot. (Screenshot attached) http://prntscr.com/fzo8uv http://prntscr.com/fzobub

If you quickly close this window with an error and try to start the miner - the system starts and mining.

But, the system does not respond to overclocking. Increasing the memory, setting the speed of the coolers, powerlimit - nothing is applied and the system can only run in the stock.

It did not work out, I tried to connect via integrated video graphics, also through a card with a video output. I suspect this is because of the error that pops up at the very beginning, related to xorg.

One error message also appears on one MSI 1060/6 card.

I tried to run the data on the motherboard H81 Pro BTC + net install Ubuntu + version of the drivers Nvidia 384.47 and everything was fine.

Tell me how to solve this problem?
For earlier I express my gratitude!

I ask for prognosis for the possibly incorrect text, tk. I used an interpreter.

Hi Fullzero! Great job!! Thank you.

I see an awful lot of requests for Fullzero to add coins. Jeez people just add them yourself! He doesn't know or probably even care what coin your mining.
It's REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY easy to add or even remove coins from 1bash.
I think of 1bash as a template that I can tailor to my own needs.

LOL just my opinion....

Hey I have the same issue but my assumption is that the Nvidia GUI is showing level 1/2/3 BUT the Nvidia command line tool is showing 0/1/2 and (I am guessing) that 0=1, 1=2 and 2=3.
