GTX 1050ti Ethereum Mining Rig

[milosx7]

Heres my rig. I have built this s#itty case, my uncle is a carpenter so he will make a better one very soon, it's just temporary.
I couldn't get the 6th GPU to run. 5 work fine, but plugging the 6th in the system and powering the rig on, only the fans spin, my keyboard / mouse don't light up, and monitor stays in sleep mode.
Then I am forced to unplug all GPUs, along with the CMOS battery, then plug back only CMOS after 2-3 minutes and power the RIG, configure the BIOS, turn off the PC, plug 5 of my GPUs back in and it's working.
I have contacted ASRock to see if this can be resolved.
Anyone here however has any idea what's causing this?

Finally was able to make all 6 cards work! I have updated the Hash Rates I'm getting right now. Jesus finally that was a real pain to set up

[bitsph]

bro what is the cause?

[milosx7]

I do not understand what you mean

Thanks for the reply. I mean what caused your other card to break down? I am planning to do the same set up as yours and was curious of possible issues that may arise.

Some BIOS settings, Above 4G decoding set to enabled, Top of low drain to 3.5GB.
This fixed me and allowed me to run my PC with 6 cards

What memory do you have? i have the same card with micron memory and max clock is 750mhz on memory, anything above and it crashes

Mine is Micron as well.
My core is at 0+ currently, and memory to 900+. I only noticed crashes while doing certain CPU intensive tasks on my Rig, and MSI Afterburner is also freezing a lot. But that's when running 6 cards. Running 2 when I started mining had no problems with Max mem OC and 250+ to core. So yeah I suppose for my next rig I'll be careful to grab GPUs with samsung mem. Since RX 580 8G costs freakin 450$$ here, I'll just grab another 6x 1050ti or 1060 If they are somewhat normally priced it's still better to just get 1050ti and have 1/2 MH/s of the RX 580 which costs 3x more.

EDIT: 450$ for 1060???
what. I'm getting another 1050ti rig then, will post when It arrives

EDIT2: I can confirm that GTX 1050ti Gaming from MSI has Samsung memory, and it's only around 190$. They also have a 6 pin power connector, must be a better overclocker than my Asus card. So I'll grab em see how they OC. I also might start selling my Asus 1050ti as soon as one pays itself off to replace it with the 1060 or 1070 or something depending on how the prices will be in a month or so

Hi all, may some one share with me your config for RIG GTX 1050ti, i wonder mine ETC.

thanks all

Is it possible to OC memory greather than +1000MHz? With MSI Afterburner I can go only to +1000 MHz but I thing the memory can go further

What setting sinthe bios did you need to alter to get it to work with 6 cards?

I'm looking at buying this board but cannot see a 4G encode option available in the manual for the bios.

You mean the Claymore config, or OC config, or BIOS config? You can find claymore and OC config in my first post.

I have found the best clock for my cards on mem to be +850 MHs
You can't go above 1000 on 1050ti however, if you get one with samsung memory it should be stable at 1k surely. Mine isn't samsung. Look for MSI 1050ti, they should OC better.

Flashed the MB bios to latest, above 4g decoding set to enabled and top to low set to 3.5GB. You can find this in Chipset Configuration i think, in the advanced settings of the BIOS

I have edited my first post right now, added more info that people are asking for there.

supposedly new version  ethminer 0.11.0 "Optimized Nvidia mining"  increases mining and you can get like 15-19 MH/s per this gtx 1050 ti card
Can you check this ? i waiting for delivery this gpu.

Tested on an MSI 1050 TI 100+ core and 200+ mem 13.04MH  temp 49c

You should be way higher than that on memory.  though it looks like we might see 15 mhs on non samsung cards and 16 on samsung cards.

Read my first post, it's been changed. Claymore's 9.7 gave me like +6 MH/s bonus

Thanks for this guide.  I picked up 4 of them in the states and getting 15.5+ M/H ETH on the 2 I have hooked up right now.   Waiting on my risers to get here and should be able too pump them hard @ 60c.   @+1000 clock I'm nearly hitting 16 m/h, but the 2nd card on the board is getting too hot 78c while the other stays sub 60c.    Dualing SC doesn't seem worth it so will probably check out DCR and LBRY.    EVGA OC edition if anyone is wondering.   Samsung memory
