Hi, saw the new oneBash file, V0015. Support for 12 GPU's, that would be a monsterrig ..

About the images, is there a need to download these again? I see these have V0014 in their filename, so not sure if they're modified.

Not sure if possible, but could make your work a bit easier: Perhaps a unified image, and the files like oneBash and the different Xorg.conf files on the windows partition? At startup, copy or use the selected one. Or are there many other changes inside the image?

Another suggestion, separate the config part and the execution part in two files, the second including the first. That would make it easier to just replace the execution file when there are small changes or typo's.

You could shorten some parts like:

Code:

if [ $MANUAL_FAN == "YES" ]
then
  for f in $GPUS
    do
      $gpu=$((f-1))
      ${NVD} -a [gpu:${gpu}]/GPUFanControlState=1
      ${NVD} -a [fan:${gpu}]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=${FAN_SPEED}
    done
fi

Awesome job fullzero...thanks so much.

I have a 5 card 1070 rig humming along on DGB. Speeds are slower though.Usually I get around 430mh on a 1070 , only getting about 275mh on nvOC.  

Is there a way to adjust the intensity setting? On windows I can adjust it by adding -i 26 to the bat file.

@bentcrypto
Did you get the best results for skein with Alexis?
Do you mine DGB directly with it?

Yes I get the best results with Alexis.

No I prefer to get the DGB converted to BTC.

Hi, overclocking is just not working, either the script is corrupted or some driver version issue.
Both "individual" and "all-cards" are not getting pointed clock settings.

I'm using the image for Z270.

It is always possible to have a bad image.  To minimize the occurance of this always wait a few seconds after imaging indicates 100% before closing the imaging program, and always ensure you eject the usb before removing it from the build computer.

Which z270 image are you using?  What motherboard and cards are you using?

Let me know.

Hi,
Here is the image:
8xOC_with_first_m2_ASUS_PRIME_Z270-A__nvOC_v0014.zip

Its the only one which i found on that point for my motherboard Asus Prime Z270-P
Video cards are Asus Dual 1060 6gb.


Also i saw some answers with screenshots about adding attributes.
Well i see a few empty rows after "coolbits" commands and then miner is running. I don't see these rows with attributes.

P.S for the guys with same cards, what i found on windows is GPU clock -200 Mhz , and memory clock +850 Mhz super stable at 23 Mh/s ETH.

Try it this morning but it's often hang, need to hard reset the whole system with +150cc and +500mc for 6x 1080ti
How to auto type the miner1 password, I need to type it 3 times before the miner running?

No you don't, the script will do this for you. Just wait a bit and see..

[viperman2]

Also sometimes it does not find the /media/m1/**** directory , workaround is to open the folder (happens on USB flash and harddrive), but this is not really workaround because it needs human intervention.
If you know other way of doing it you should implement it, this is recommendation.


Or maybe I've got corrupted image, i don't know.

It's awesome you're making this program, it will really be invaluable. These are the cards and motherboard I ordered for it:

What is the maximum number of NVIDIA 1080 TI cards we can mine using NVOS per rig?  Also what brand and version of the 1080 TI that can do 700-780 sols per 1 viewer's comment?  Have the 1080 regular performance improved at all with the latest mining software or still in the 500s SOL range?

I only have 3x 1080ti so I am not sure how many it can handle.  Using 1080tis will have a slightly lower maximum card limit than 1070s or 1060s, and would most likely begin to have quarks before then.  I would avoid using more than 8 1080tis on one rig (and this might be too many).

I think citronick was using full tdp or higher with an aftermarket card.  I believe it is this one: Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition but I would check with him and make sure.

I have that 1080ti it's a monster
Do 220 core 900mem
It's a power limit of 200 you'll get 690-710sols
Without the Powerlimit it's an easy 710+ card

When I release a new version I will explain what is different and members can decide if they want to download and reimage with the newer version.  At this point most improvements are to help with portability or add another client / enable the use of more cards with one rig.  If you only mine ZEC and all your cards OC: you may not want to bother downloading and updating the next version.

Eventually I will add an updating program and make the need to update images irrelevant.

The next version should work with almost all Intel motherboards to OC up to 12x cards (if the cpu + mobo + adapters can handle it).  I have given it to a few members to test and swapped it out on all my rigs.  So far it works with all but the z97 MSI gaming 5 (7x cards) and ryzen motherboards.  Of course each mobo will most likely require some bios changes; I don't know any way around that requirement.

I know a lot of the implementation section of oneBash is overly procedural and could be more succinct.  Being the way it is also helps me distinguish between different versions, and I haven't settled on a max card limit yet.  Splitting the settings and implementation would be helpful once I have settled on a max number of cards or added an update program.  IMO only needing to change one file is considerably easier.  I also like exposing people to bash scripts.

Yes I get the best results with Alexis.

No I prefer to get the DGB converted to BTC.

in this section of oneBash:

if [ $COIN == "DGB" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/TPccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$DGB_ADDRESS"

until $HCD -a skein -o $DGB_POOL -u $ADDR -p c=BTC
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

add -i 26 to the line : until $HCD -a skein -o $DGB_POOL -u $ADDR -p c=BTC

so it looks like:

until $HCD -a skein -o $DGB_POOL -u $ADDR -p c=BTC -i 26

and save.

I will add the Alexis to the next version.

I don't think all your cards are OCing, I have sent you a message with a link to an image that should work.  Let me know if it does.

Maxximus007 is correct.  I would recommend trying a lower cc if your system is hanging.  mc can be higher:

try +100cc and +900mc

If a USB key cannot find oneBash on its windows partition you probably should re image that key.

This card looks like a beast; my EVGAs become unstable even at +150cc sometimes.

I delayed posting the Aorus 1080tis (not EXTREME edition) because its still on Windows with AB settings and killing it on NH and zpool.

I need to play with the settings abit more before I move them to nvoc with the most optimized settings.

This Aorus are clocked much higher than the rest of the 1080tis - I tried... Zotac, Asus. The extreme edition has even higher clocks but I dont think I want to pay extra for a few more mhz, in which you can easily optimise the clocks for mining with sw - just get normal Auros edition which is already an respectable OC card.

It currently running on MSI Z270-A Pro mobo with 4 x gigantic Auros 1081tis, open caged designed cards hung like salted fish.... will take a pix when I clean things up a bit. I got 5 x Auros working on server PSU. This Auros is a beast but is PITA on size, cabling and power requirements. Best settings so far is 75%/+155/+0 for ZEC mining, for ETH you can increase the memory clocks too -- most of the settings are results from philipma testing and tinkering at his thread - so credits to him.

yun9999.... If i can guess what you doing with your farm with this 1080ti..... you can run 9 x Auros 1080ti with those new Z270 boards with 7 slots and 2 x M2 but you surely need server psu/pico/bb to complete the job.... this card at stock settings does an amazing 34MHs ETH, fan/cooling design the best I have seen so far and very quiet, to decrease heat, get a blower from the front to back.

[LTCbusiness]

So I tried to run DGB since it is the new hot trend at the moment, overclock the card as core+200 and mem -300 as some people told in some topics. However the result is quite poor, it only does 650mh per card with that setting. I heard that 1080ti only do good on skein with cc miner 1.0, not sure if it is true or not, but I backed to mine  Zcash since the rig run more stable with Zcash setting at the moment. Anyone get a better result with Skein on NVOC?

For now you can try increasing the intensity see:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg19380254#msg19380254

To get opt performance with DGB, you need the Alexis fork.  I will add the Alexis to the next version which will be out soon.

[fullzero]

Will pm on Sunday tired now it is late.

Phil,

I was supposed to get the Racing mobo in via Fedex on Saturday.  However it went off the radar for 2 days, and now is finally physically near me and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.  I will test it out and see what I can get it to do.  I have both the i5 T and i3 T you mentioned you use with this mobo.  I will also test it with a G4560 and let you know.
