SMOS 1.3 is not very good for the older 7950's. You're better off with SMOS 1.0 with the older CGMiner 3.2.1.  SMOS 1.3 works better for the newer R9 series cards.  In fact a lot of the newer updates like Kalroth's CGMiner fork and SGMiner tend to like the newer R9 280 and 290 cards.  I'd stick with the ancient but working CGMiner versions for the 7950's.

I've got 4 MSI 7950's running between 680 and 710 on SMOS 1.0 with CGminer 3.2.1 using the undervolted .962 bios and Lantis' scrypt bin files:

1. what is SMOS?
2. how are your GPUs @ 40-50C?? how cold is it in that room? lol.

For a couple of days, we would have exchanged increase at a slow pace with unexchanged doing so very fast. Today neither is going up fast enough to fit any scenario people are throwing out there. How can 10MHs generate only 0.026 in exchanged and 0.015 in unexchanged since last night's payment?

SMOS is a fork of the Scrypt version of BAMT (Mining linux distribution).

This rig is in a dedicated Mining Room I put together in my detached Garage.  I'm in the NY Metro area, so it's pretty cold lately.

SMOS is a BAMT-like linux distro for mining: http://www.smos-linux.org

I was asking myself that question three days ago, H2o has said the payments for each server are different, What server are you on by chance ?

[gsrcrxsi]

thanks, i had not heard of SMOS, how does it compare to BAMT? and what does it offer that BAMT doesnt?

Useast is what I am using with failovers to middlecoin.com and then eu.

Seems to be a slightly more secure and updated version of BAMT.

Not much these days... there were a few scrypt related tweaks and visual tweaks plus a donation pool set similar to Minepeon (easily defeatable).
It was created when the Scrypt version of BAMT wasn't being regularly updated and was thought dead.

Now the Scrypt version of BAMT is back and updated again so I'd suggest trying both and seeing which works best for your particular cards and setup.

I'm wondering if it's worth pointing back to the main server, I lost hash rate when i did it before, But my payments were always pretty good, Since I changed to the Asia server, It's been on and off good days, But mostly bad for a week or so.

Maybe you should try the main server and failovers to EU etc.

jedimstr,

Just a suggestion - you don't need to run your fans at 85% when your GPU temps are around 35C.

I wish I had your garage, It's 30.0c where I am and it causes loads of issues getting stable temps.

doesnt smos have a forced donation where it will mine for their pool for 15 mins every night?  i stayed away from them because  of it, plus regular BAMT is being updated regularly agian

Never heard of it; may this be confirmed by anyone?

Not by running the SMOS yourself but from experience?

You just have to comment out 2 lines in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root if you don't agree with that.

Yes, SMOS does have forced donations, but there is a "port" without forced donation:

I'm running that version, works perfect

Is there a reason to use this forked version of SMOS versus BAMT?

is this better than bamt 1.4? or any version of BAMT? just curious

jedimstr,

it's probably the only way to keep ice from forming on the fan tips

Same here; wondering...
