So you could lower the threshold (I am just throwing it out there) or better yet, figure out why one GPU is not performing like the others. What are your GPUs and are all they all identical?

They are all GTX 1060, although from different manufacturers and versions. 2 with double fan and 3 with sigle fan.
The errors are coming randomly for any of the cards. Not sure if it is normal or not

That doesn't sound normal. Unfortunately, I don't have any 1060's so I have no idea what the OC settings should be. In the meantime, just to keep mining with it how it is, you may want to disable the watchdog [in 1bash] which will keep restarting your miner as detects low GPU utilization. Hopefully somebody else can chime in and help you with the OC settings.

My 13 gpu rig 1060 3Gb OC (this runs on centos 7):
sudo nvidia-smi -pl 95
sudo nvidia-settings -a /GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1500
sudo nvidia-settings -a [gpu:8]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1400
and I don't touch the Graphics Clock here.

My rig 3 1060 + 2 970. The 1060 settings:
sudo nvidia-smi -pl 75
sudo nvidia-settings -a /GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1500
sudo nvidia-settings -a /GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=-100

in 1bash would be:


__CORE_OVERCLOCK_1=-100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_1=1500

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_2=-100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_2=1500

__CORE_OVERCLOCK_3=-100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK_3=1300

for gpus 1,2,3

mining ETC around 24000Mh/s per gpu. Temp goes around 58-65 ºC

Running time: 500 - 1000 hours

hope help as reference ;-)

It's quite interesting. Which driver version do you use?
My GPU are all GTX 1060 6Gb, and in 1bash the setups are:

POWERLIMIT_WATTS=80
__CORE_OVERCLOCK=100
MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=1050

I cannot get anywhere close to your settings. When the memory overclock get over 1150 I start to have crashes every 15 seconds or so.
Unless it is a driver version problem I cannot see where the problem with my setup is.

I just read that not all memory behaves the same way and that I might have non Samsung memory on my GPUs.
Is there an easy way to check for memory manufacturer on the GPUs from ubuntu?

Hi Papampi,
Thanks for the help.
It's time to add an external drive with a Windows partition.
At the price we are buying the GPU they'd better have Samsung memory :-D

Here is confirmation of that:

... and a few other things that we won't see on Linux.

Hi again, fullzero and all I've got a question for you. Some of my rigs now have a problem booting from USB stick. I have many different sticks but after a month or two of normal booting some of them started to fail on booting process, I/O errors etc... I understand that this is a quality problem in most cases, but also I think it's the usecase problem. So now I'm thinking of nvOC/rxOC mod that could do network booting to completely exclude this kind of issues while using these distros. The question is - have someone tried to boot nvOC from network? If yes, please share your experience to us!

Agreed.  Had the same issue using name brand (SanDisk 32GB Cruzer Ultra Fit USB 3.0 drives).  Rigs would fail to reboot after running fine for a month plus.  I went with these $33 60GB SSD's and never had a problem since, and the rigs are much faster to boot.

Hello

ZM_Miner gives 350Sol/s but EWBF gives 560 Sol/s on my 1080

That seems to me happening only on my Asus b250 mining expert MoBo with 13 GPU installed, other boards (Asus Prime Z270-A with 9 GPU and old Gigabyte with 5 GPU) are ok.

Is it a bug in ZM?

Thank you

[crazydane]

What does the pool you're connected to show for that worker?

Friend of mine is running an Asus Mining Expert as well with 7x 1070's and he's not having that issue with ZM.

Is it even possible to mine eth with 3 Gb?

I have a evga 1060 6Gb on windows with hashrate 24.400Mhs MC 1700, CC 0 + 2 1060 3Gb   MC 1400 CC 0 gives 23.750Mh/s using claymore and mining ETC.
I have noticed 6gb cards go easy on OC (usually)

Mining equihash on a 13 1060 3Gb rig = 3300 h/s but I know I should have 3500 h/s. Think high load average is causing this and may be a poorly optimize OC but usually runs stable for weeks, so i'm happy with it.
ETC gives me 305-310 Mh/s on same rig .

I have been mining ETH about a month ago with 3Gb cards, I do not know if it is now possible or not

I think its not just about DSTM, I tested right now system following way:
1. when I leave just 10 asus strix 1080 in asus b250 mining expert - it works like a charm: load average is around 3
2. when I put 11 same card, load average goes up to 15
3. when I put 13 same card, load average goes up to 100 and everything is crazy slow...
I have latest version of nvoc 19-1.3
Any suggestions?

ok.. so my usb stick gets corrupted about once a day now.. my mining rig already has a m.2 ssd i originally had windows on.  i would like to install NVOC on the ssd, however my other computer only has 1 m.2 slot which it boots from, so im trying to think of a way to install this OS..  the normal way of installing this with raw hdd copy would wipe the os thats completing the copy on the miner, is there a method of installing beside windows on the same drive in a different partition? and dual booting?  or is there a way to install this OS on my usb, then running a install like ubuntu does from a live session?  im really wishing i had a sata ssd on this rig. trying to find a work around is driving me nuts.
