Mining motherboard - Onda B250 BTC-D8P - Anyone tried ?

[OliverCoin]

ram i have is  https://www.skhynix.com/products.view.do?vseq=2066&cseq=75, and https://www.micron.com/parts/modules/ddr4-sdram/mta4atf51264hz-2g3?pc=%7BE1D8F1A9-3DFC-4BD2-8A1E-C26ED261EB0A%7D i tried both.

Ill remove the 1st gpu and try the cmos reset tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice.

ONDA B250-D8P ver 2.0
or
Onda 3865 D8P (the green one with celeron onboard)
?

Both appear to be decently priced (looking for one) and have decent space (56.5 mm c-c and no interfering connectors), but is there anyone having experience with the 3865 version (older/newer, any revision)?
The use of 6pin is preferred over sata/molex, if they only included the picoPSU on the board as well (as Octaminer).

Then there is a mix of the two
Zeal-All onda 8 pcie ?? (all components around the PCIe slots is identical to the green one so a copy of a copy of...)

vpp; 2.5v; this is probably the issue would be my guess;  and the SPD voltage is near 2.5 as well....  thats over the 1.2v spec of the board.   maybe im approaching it wrong... but it is known these boards are picky and only take the low voltage only stuff.  *edit* maybe not... but check my post as mentioned below; I think I used 2200mhz ram.... check it to be sure i'm correct.  I believe I saved the package, so ill photo it when I get home if I can find it.

I have posted before what ram I have used myself;  see if you can try a different stick.... I got my money on that one.... if not in this thread, in phils altcoin thread.  just do a search for my username and D8P and you'll come around it at some point.  I bought mine from frys (frys.com).

Facepalm

Solved. I did not insert the ram deep enough diagonally on both boards during install.

What is the voltage of this Motherboard?

Haha, rock on!

Don't worry, it happens waaaaay more often than you'd think......

the best thing about them is that they don’t need risers and people are really talking about it.

[keywordsbadge]

I have been thinking to import this from the UK but I don’t know who will be interested.

[staineddreserved7]

Why did they dropped the previous version it was such a good thing and was fine.

[meatygeiger]

These are some amazing tips and thank you. I am amused that why no one discusses this.

[ManeBjorn]

I think it might be because these boards slipped under the radar and not a lot of individuals got them. I find most of them in data centers.
Still they do work great.

I bought the Onda D1800 one that has 6 PCI-E slot and comes with a built in Celeron CPU.

I can confirm it works fine without any issues for several months now.  Very Satisfied with it

[ManeBjorn]

That is good to know. Which Celeron is in it? I never looked close at the CPU?

Hello guys, I  got few rigs set up on this Onda B250 D8P motherboard and all share the same problem - everything works great on every possible setup, except when you put card in 1st GPU slot(the 16x one), then it gives out constant 4Mh/s from a GPU that is in the first slot and other cards get unstable hashate(keeps jumping up and down), which also gives SMOS monitor wrong info on monitoring. It works perfectly on a  7 card setup with 1st slot being empty.

just got the same problem. With all my motherboards. Long time lurking and the fix is:


1) load bios
2) system agent
3) gpu settings
4) port 1 was set not like others. just set the same settings for port 1 like for others.

Wow thank you 100x .  Spent all day looking for this solution.

If anyone is having trouble on the v4 motherboard just look for port settings and match port 1 settings with port 2 and 3 (set everything to auto).

On version 1 Port 1-4 are disabled.
But the fix suggested online was....  Bios/Chipset/System Agent/Peg Port config/Peg 0:1:0 Max Link speed = Gen2

I have 12 RX570 ITX Pulse cards running but cant seem achieve ideal performance.
Max is 307mh @ 1520watts.
Anything over 26mh requires massive increase in watts.
Anything over 950core and wattage sky rockets.
anything over 1780 memory and system crashes.
0.2mh/watt is acceptable but not the low mh.
The exact same card when tested on my desktop performs @ 29.5mh with 1090core and 2000memory.

Is anyone having success at hi hash using AMD cards on the Onda board?

Is the suggested bios mod used for fixing 1st pcie slot problems (which appears to only exist with AMD Cards) hampering my performance?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Im using SMOS.
Id like to achieve 29mh per card like they're capable of.

Im missing 15% of their true performance with the onda board. Or am i chasing a rainbow?

The issue with the 1st slot is that it needs to be set to Auto like the others That seemed to fix the issue for me.
As for your performance issue it does not seem to be a mainboard issue but with the card and mining client settings. Trial and error to get the right mix is all you can really do. Is there a difference in the amount of ram between your desktop and the Onda setup?

FYI, in case you haven't seen this thread:

There was a difference initially but since changed ram and re tested.

Desktop = 16gb
Onda= 4gb

Since my last post i purchased an Asus B250 mining pro board expecting the poor performance to be a result of Onda board.

Sadly even with the Asus B250 running 16gb Crusial ballistic ram (borrowed from desk top) the results are exactly the same.

952 core 1780mem is maximum tuning achieved with 308mh @ 1530watts.

Im positive its a performance trade off when running more cards per board.

Ive since ordered a another Onda Board M06 6x GPU riserless with built in CPU.
It arrives in a few days.

FYI anyone interested in Buying my new Asus B250 and a couple new Onda B250 boards? I have 4 Onda in total but will probably keep 2 regardless.

If the riserless M06 motherboard proves successful ill be sold on max 6gpus per rig.

The issue with the 1st slot is that it needs to be set to Auto like the others That seemed to fix the issue for me.

I saw this board showcased here: https://youtu.be/FyA07jMYCaw

Is this board reliable long-term?

Looking on AliBaba they have this https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/4U-12-GPUs-Ethereum-Mining-Rack_60731623524.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.76.1f1f4b1bwWgf66

Im really thinking of putting the the farm in a bunch of those 

Thoughts?

Best board ever.  Few issues to speak of.   Awesome performance, and sturdily built.  They had their heads completely on straight by rev2.

I have one that chugs away mining XMR with older (pre 9xx series nvidia) cards.   Lots of spacing, good power distribution... What's not to like?

They are just picky on the ram modules you buy.  They really love the low voltage only (1.2v) modules on the DDR4 boards.   Someone may correct me, but I believe they swapped to DDR3 on the newer revision boards.... but I could be completely mistaken on that notion... you might wanna research that.    I own a REV1.

I bought a spotswood frame for mine, and it was worth every penny to keep myself from having to build an enclosure... and I didnt want to spend the crazy amounts for the chinese case that fits them.   I think the spotswood open frame is better.

Well, I have an issue with the GPU fans diing because of the constant torture of being ran 24/7 and the environment they are in. So, I'm looking to install all the GPUs into server cases, and will switch mobos if needed.

Can you post a link to your case?
