Maybe why I can't get 4 high end cards to work...not enough lanes on my cpu.

tanx tbear ...

im going to test this in the coming week with a more powerful cpu on the board ...

I don' think this applies to mining else we wouldn't be able to mine from x1 slots.

Mining  gaming  folding  doesn't it have to do as in the video with how many lanes a cpu has?

[tbearhere]

I'm looking now to see the cheapest 4 core cpu to get for the asrock.

You must be expecting a massive increase in hash to justify a new CPU? Isn't it more profitable to continue hashing on the existing equipment?

My plans where for this rig was 6x  980ti's  but I'm just trying to get 2x 980ti  and 2x 970 gtx running stable.

[tbearhere]

Also the amount of cache a cpu has could play a roll.
1150 CPUs only allow for 16 lanes of PCI Express lanes

I'm running a 5 cards rig with a sempron (single core, very slow, very little cache).
All the algos work fine. I didn't try ether, but ccminer is just ok. Cpu load under 20%.

What cards pallas?
And are you using ccminer latest build? On quark ?

I've been using many different forks, sp and tpruvot based, depending on the algo.
Quark is sp's, used to crash a couple times a day once, but it has been pretty stable during the last months.
Of course they include some code of mine.
Maybe it has to do with the operating system (ubuntu in my case) or the fact it's a headless machine (not even X windows running).

Quark can mine for weeks in the latest build. (version 80.) The last bugs where fixed by t-nelson back in release 6x something.

Ok thx    I'm going try try to add the 970gtx in again and using -i 23 and the new drivers seems stable now.
It's been running for hrs and did a switch to quark algo.. no problem.
See what happens.  
ooo it is an asrock 81 btc  pro mb open air .... very cool here right now.
EDIT:when I add the 2nd 970 the stock clocks show 1418 the other 970 shows 1392.... i don't know why the difference and the same on the card i replaced 1418.

Do you have 2 version cards? Their bios is diferent? I have that same case with 970's and (!) with radeons 280x. MSI AB sets them diferently.

 I wonder if the new gtx 1070/1080 cards will beat the 980ti in the quark algo.

Here is sp-mod #6 private compute 5.2 unreleased:

[Amph]

they will for sure, their power target is much lower, one 1080 has a power target about the same as 970, and i doubt it will be lower, it's already comfirmed that they are faster

yes it was no mining or gaming, but there is no way that a new generation is lower than the previous one, never happened

[flipclip]

Another point is that different cards have different intensity limits so if you have different cards in the same rig
you will have to set it to a value that works on all cards which may not be optimum on some cards.

You can use comma separation to set different intensities per card. ie -i 27.2,25,24.9

SP are you actually working on a dual miner? ~_~

Looks like your speed is 30mh and how much you can mined altcoin with this speed.. are you mining ETH.?

Yes. But today I worked 8 hours in C# in my daily job, so progress is slow.

Took the 970 out...I'm done with it. A book marker for now.

Took the 970 out...I'm done with it. A book marker for now.

I have a couple of cards that don't like to switch algos much but they will run for days on one algo.

One example is a 970 that will mine quark at default intensity fresh from a reboot but over time
while profit switching it will fail to start. Sometimes it will start at lower intensity but continues
to degrade and eventually won't start at all until a system reboot. Then it will run at default intensity
again.

The symptoms smell like a memory leak but if that was the case it should affect all cards eventually
but it doesn't. I'm stumped.

Memory OCs really mess with the cards and they need TLC when you do them. Different memory types also mess with things (Samsung for instance sucks at Eth).

Usually if there is a problem outside of that it's caused by power and power delivery like 99% of the time. You can look at monitor voltages for the hardware with Nvidiainspector or GPUZ. Powered risers and quality PSUs help with that. Sometimes the powered risers are crap too and need to be replaced.

Work your real job brah! ...as in making a dual miner.
