Those Chinese boards look fantastic. I am about to place an order from alibaba for some. What processor is everyone using on the 8+4 GPU motherboard?

g4400 8 gb ram running win10, 6 various cards, running 3 miners at once.. claymore dual miner, ewbf, ccminer. runs at about 30% usage right now. so if you ultimately plan on going with 12 cards might want to get a cpu with more grunt to future proof it.

URGENT:

I need to send a few spare fans for Avalon 741s (should be the same as what S9s uses too).

Is there a part number or local suppliers around the Labrador area / Amazon / NewEgg etc.

I can get these parts from Canaan but that will take time.

Any help or ideas welcomed.

I have 2 old S7s sitting in spare parts at Cryptoboreas. Their fans should be compatible.
I'll email the guys there and tell em they can use the fans from these miners to fix yours.

These are for my group's A741s at GND.

The older A721s are at Cryptoboreas.

Any part-number description for these fans?

Sorry for delay. I have been laid up for a few days with spinal probs. I have 2 A741s running in my garage. I will take a look tomorrow and get you part number.

Damn I forgot I was going to buy Dash Lite and Monero earlier today then it goes and spikes lol. Well I'm not buying now dammit. I hate it when prices get driven up RIGHT when I'm about to buy.

Hi!
Found NY based seller of Bitmain miners.
They declare stock of S9 and offer shipping and local pickup.
Prices are too good to be true, 1299$ in BTC or Monero. If anybody have business with them please advise.
Maybe somebody is going to visit NY and is interested to buy? I will appreciate reference or cooperation is the purchase.

Always ask for escrow or paypal. At that price it's either a scam or a pricing error.

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would like to pick your brains regarding one of my rigs that freezes solid after a few days. I have changed the add2psu, swapped around risers, changed PSU's but with 2x Zotac 1080ti mini and 4x 1070ti it dies on a regular basis. Specs:
Windows 10, latest updates
Latest nvidia drivers
Asus Z270-P with latest bios
4GB ram
intel G3930
m.2 SSD 128GB
1 EVGA 750W and 1 EVGA G1 1000W

When it freezes the fans are still running at whatever speed they were running prior to freezing. Event logger doesn't help but these are the only errors and stuff I can see there:
-License Activation (slui.exe) failed with the following error code:hr=0x80070422 (I assume it's because this copy is not registered)

-The description for Event ID 0 from source igfxCUIService2.0.0.0 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: Received Post Shell Event 1

The other thing I noticed is that the mouse cursor is lagging in teamviewer on that machine.

I am completely out of ideas. The only thing I can think of now sending the ram, mobo and cpu back to amazon and getting new ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The igfxCUIService2.0.0.0 warning is related to the Intel HD graphics on the CPU. Try disabling it in the BIOS. It will probably be called 'integrated graphics' or 'iGPU'.

Also Teamviewer can cause issues, try using VNC.

Thanks, I will try to disable it and run it without that. (the monitor is actually plugged into that in case I wanna sit in front of it) I do use teamviewer on all my rigs, so far no issues with it but I am happy to try anything on this rig as it drives me complete nuts.

If you have any other ideas please do not hold back!

Ps.: That raises another questions, if the igpu is screwed doesn't that mean that the processor is faulty?

not  or maybe the cpu is bad.  but  windows  and 6 cards with only a celeron and 4gb things happen.

look for how much cpu usage.  See if you are over 45%  do you use afterburner?   it will show you cpu useage


you should try that rig  with smos .

I have found smos can use a shit cpu and 4gb ram without much issue.
I have found windows need more  cpu and more ram.

this happens on the bigger rigs.

I still use windows on a few rigs  but much more  rigs on smos.

What you said coupled with the iGPU problem I think I will return the G3930 and order something beefier. I just have to figure out which one would be good enough price/power consumption-wise.

I will give SMOS a shot see if it works with that.

Do you think this Intel Pentium® Processor G4560T would be enough or I gotta go higher to an i3?

[rs1x]

Fwiw - I was a windows only guy. But phil and a few others here talking about smos all the time has me converted.  The only problem with smos is no wifi. Which I have a few rigs on wifi to spread them out throughout my house.

with a mixed amd and nvidia rig windows seems to be the only game in town atm. windows makes it easy to run different miners at the same time. some cards on one miner/algo, some on another, still others on a third.

but for rigs with all one type card and algo it does look sweet.

I haven't ever used nvoc. Just started with smos and was to easy to even look into any other alternative. Quickly looking nvoc looks free so that beats smos which is like $2 per rig per month I think.

What's the big sell of Simple Mining over say nvOC?

simple mining  allows me world wide access via his website.

easy to manage as I have gear in multiple sites.

I now run:

 5 rigs with buysolar and the solar array
 3 rigs with my buddy Ira at his office
 5 rigs in my garage

26 a month  for next to perfect control

since I am mining about .6 zec a day  or 18 zec  a month .

 I can pay the fees for ease of management.

Since buysolar is building a 3 stage of expansion array  about 75 minutes from our homes.

We will need ease of management  that smos provides.  we may do 17kwatts then 34kwatts then 51kwatts

that is about 17 rigs then 34 rigs then 51 rigs  over the next 2 years




nvOC  is free  but it is more difficult  to set up  access and switching and rig restarts.

if you have 1 location with under 5 rigs nvOC is fine.

So maybe the S7 fans will work for you until you get new fans from Avalon. I mentioned this to the guys at Cryptoboreas.

That Celeron 3930 is working for me on a BIOSTAR TB250 MoBo with 9 GPUs on Windows 10. I did the tweaks mentioned here:

Having said that, the G4560T should be fine and won't "cost an arm and a leg".

Just want to say thanks for the detailed post above with regards to SmOS and windows requirements for than motherboard.

I currently run Windows only and don't have any issues. What would you say is the biggest drawback to SmOS? My concern is the speed of updates on miners. As currently I can compile new miners myself.

yeah but the mobos bios and chipset is different  which  may be why  you got the celeron to work okay.
