Wonderful, your OS is perfect.

I discovered a bug :

we can save a profile without name...

[ordimans]

Someone know this error during the boot :

amdgpu 0000:01:00.01 Invalid PCI Rom Header Signature, expecting 0xaa55 , got 0xffff

I think it's the first port in x16, i have a Maximus VIII Ranger with 7 GPU on it.
But have the error with only one GPU connected.

On AMD OC fixe DPM in Core State (Index):

This is required if you try to undervolt you card. You should use this parameter with "Core Clock" setting and "Core Voltage".
DPM (Dynamic Power Management) or "Power Level" of GPU core. For RX cards it's a value from 1 to 7. Default is 5. Lower the value to downvolt.

You can set 5 or 4 for you RX 580.

I recommand you to set your AMD OC on HiveOS and put DPM (5 or 4) + Core Voltage (mV): V900 (should be stable)
You can undervolt more with V875 or V860 depending on the coins you mine.

Can you maybe help understand how exactly undervolting works under Linux ? Because when you look at Wattman in Windows, things seem pretty simple. You have 7 States and depending on the workload, the driver uses the most appropriate State. For mining, it is State 7 by default. When you launch claymore with cclock, mclock, cvddc or mvddc parameters, you basically override this by setting every state to use those values. When you look at Wattman again, you see all the States have same clock and same voltage, so no matter what the driver decides to do, you are good to go with what you wanted.

In Linux, I find it confusing that you set the State/Powertune/DPM AND the clocks and voltages. If you have your State 3 that is set to 1145Mhz@850mV in BIOS (stored as dynamic voltage in BIOS), asking for powertune 3, clock 1200Mhz and voltage 900mV should be stupid because everything in the State3 is overriden anyway. Why does this parameter appear in every Linux mining distro ? I obviously have missed something.

What is the difference between Powertune/State/DPM 3, 4, 5 when you ask for some specific clocks and memories (1215, 2175, 915mV) ?

Hi,
I have a problem today with EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner, it just said that "cannot connect to Pool" and "EWBF waiting to cool down a bit" error.
I tried the different pool, I tried dtsm instead, same problem, can somebody please help?
Thank you and Best regards.

Hi,

I have been using Hive OS and I've mined with ETH Miner quite stable. However, when I change the miner to Claymore Dual (ETH + SC), my rig constantly crashes and shows error:

My friend uses identical rig (8x gtx 1060 3gb), bought at the same store (on the same day) with identical other components. He also uses Hive OS (on the same USB stick) and for him Claymore Dual works normal and stable. And even on ETH Miner my hashrates were 5-10% lower as I couldn't put his stats of clock core, mem, power level, as my rig was not stable.

We were thinking that it might be a hardware issue. We would like to check all other options first before complaining at the store.

Anybody have any clue what could be wrong and how to fix the problem?
Help would be really appreciated.

Did you check that you have same ASIC quality as him ? If he has all cards above let's say 75% ASIC quality and you got unlucky with 70-72% ASIC cards (just a dummy example), then the lower hashrate and the lower settings are perfectly normal. You can check that with GPU-Z.

As for the crashes, maybe a faulty riser, maybe your settings are still too high, did you tune them one by one and checked for errors after more than 5-10 minutes ? It is painful to do, but then you know the good settings for the rest of the life of the rig

Thank you for the help. I will check your instructions.

Hi!
Is it possible to set failover miner? I'll prefer to mine monero with nanopool if nicehash connection fails but as for now ethash is more profitable with my hardware.

Hi @DEV, is possible to add or compile https://github.com/KlausT/ccminer/ on hiveos?

Already done: http://download.hiveos.farm/ccminer/cuda9/

[PKBO]

Should be nice to have some benchmark for possible algos, is it stupid idea?

[Frank White]

Im curious my panel keeps saying i can upgrade my hiveOS but when i click the command nothing happens, how do i fix that?

[friends20]

Hi

Very good OS

Do you have a notice for installation Nicehash ? I have a problem


Thank

Hi devs,
I had a problem with my new RX 550 rig.
I was a SimpleMining OS user for one month.
I am a newbie in mining. I have a RX 580 (multiple GPU) rig working perfectly.
I bought Gigabyte RX 550 2GB cards but I had problems with SimpleMining OS. Not working, no solutions for now.
My Sapphire RX 550 4GB works perfectly but 2GB cards are not working.
I wanted to try Hive OS but I saw that RX 550 is not supported yet When will be?

RX 550 is not supported maybe is not HiveOS problem but maybe drivers? Who knows.

That's a very good question and I don't have any good answer, it's look like Linux is doing what he wants...For my rig I set on HiveOS DPM to ensure my Undervolt is correct from my bios configuration.
If anyone have any link or answer it gonna be very useful.

Hi!

Use failover pool address to prevent nicehash connection problem.
