Fellow miners, this is the build I use with my AMD rx series rigs. rxOC is a customized Ubuntu 16.04 build with AMD OC support, manual fan support, auto launching on boot, and a single easy to configure Bash Script (oneBash) which can be configured from a windows pc using wordpad. Expected Bios settings (I have not tested all of these for AMD rigs):If you are using an ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85; either should work with without any changes to the bios settings. If you are using an MSI Z270-A PRO; ensure you enable Above 4G memory option in the bios before connecting the nvOC USB. If you are using a GIGABYTE GA-B250M-Gaming 3; ensure the Audio Controller is disabled in the bios.If you are using a BIOSTAR TB250-BTC; ensure Miner Mode is enabled in the bios. Also ensure Max TOLUD is set to 3.5 GB in the bios.If you are using an ASUS Z270-F GAMING; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios. Also ensure PTP aware OS: is set to 'Not PTP Aware' in the bios. Finally, ensure you 'Clear Secure Boot Keys' in the bios. If you are using an MSI Z170-A GAMING M5; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios. Also download, unzip and copy to a usb key ( the 2016-12-19 Version 1.D ) Bios and follow instructions to flash the bios.If you are using an ASUS PRIME Z270-A; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios. Also ensure PTP aware OS: is set to 'Not PTP Aware' in the bios. Finally, ensure you 'Clear Secure Boot Keys' in the bios. If you are using a GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3; ensure the Audio Controller is disabled in the bios.If you are using a ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS; You must update the bios; with this motherboard it can be done by connecting an ethernet cable and entering the EZ Flash 3 Utility. Select DHCP and download then install the update. It should look like this. After updating ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios.If you are using a BIOSTAR RACING Z170GT7; Ensure you are only using the first 6 pcie slots closest to the CPU. Ensure you set Security Device Support to: Disable Finally ensure you set the max TOLUD to 3.5 gb

With v0016 nvOC will work with 1x GPU; but you will have to wait for it to repair the xorg file on its initial boot; reboot on its own; and then on the second boot it should be good to go. AMD is significantly better with Linux system integration than Nvidia (although Nvidia has vastly improved their Linux support in the past few years); essentially if Ubuntu recognizes the GPU; the AMD driver will recognize the GPU. However, AMD cards older than the R9 300 series; will not be supported by the AMDGPU-PRO driver used in rxOC. For now; I recommend using the smOS build made for R series cards for your 7950. If there is enough interest I can make an R series build of rxOC; but I am trying to focus first on helping users resolve problems, then with implementing the most requested improvements first. I will add an R series build to the request list for rxOC.

Ubuntu grubloader will attempt to repair the error; if you wait a long time it might repair it and boot; but I would do the following: Reimage the USB key; like so: first check and see if your zip has downloaded correctly by following the directions here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1984302.msg19757170#msg19757170If your zip produced the same hash it is good. Maybe you imaged from the zip without extracting? Ensure that you extract the image before imaging. After imaging is complete, and you have configured and saved oneBash: ensure that you properly eject the USB key. Let me know if this works.

Hi fullzero,
Could we get a sgminer (with ethash-new.cl) as an alternative to Claymore.
The big news now is Claymore's ASM implementation may have some issues in the coming epoch and diff level.
I am on Claymore for ETH mining and I think we better have Plan B just in case.
Thanks

If I provided you good and useful info or just a smile to your day, consider sending me merit points to further validate this Bitcointalk account ~ useful for future account recovery...

read more on the subject and seems that sgminer is likely also impacted .....

I have confirmed the new CUDA implementation is better than Claymore; that combined with this AMD problem; it is not looking good for AMD miners. If you find a mining client that is immune let me know; and I will add it. I worked on nvOC today; I will work on rxOC tomorrow.

I will try to release the next version of rxOC by tomorrow night; but I can't promise it will be done by then.

Anyone have rxOC working with 7 GPUs on MSI Z170A PRO Carbon motherboard?
I modded the BIOS a month ago and have it running 7 x 470s on Windows 10- but tired of windows instability.
Recently, I tried both smOS and rxOC with no luck.
If any one has been successful, please let me know.
I will also enquire elsewhere to check if EthOS works for this setup.

This mobo should have similar requirements to the z170 gaming 5; but I can't say for sure (as I don't have one myself): Other members have reported that the Version 1.7 bios is the one to use for this mobo: Download BIOS Version 1.7: https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html#down-biosunzip, copy to usb key, attach to rig, use the m-flash to flash the 1.7 bios then ensure you set Above 4G decoding to enabled Also you might need to use a skylake CPU: G4400 If you try this let me know how it goes.

Yup- I have a skylake CPU -ie: G4400. I f i have another bad day with my windows 10 system , I will try what you suggested and let you know how it works. Thx.
