No, looks like you should read the last pages of this thread...

those of you who are mining zencash, i'm curious how you have that set up if you are not just running all defaults. thank you!

Have you ever try dual mining with ETH, maybe you can get more profit.

On dual mining Eth/Dcr hashrate drops 148MH/s Eth and 1480 Dcr.

try setting, -dcri 46. i had good results w that. also, eth drops less w sia

hi guys,
some people said that compute unit does matter.
lets say my nvidia and rx run at the same speed, about 25mh/s.
the rx card have more compute unit, it will have more share thus create more profit.
is this true?


rgds,

Hello,

I'm sure this has been discussed already, but thread is too long to read and search did not come up with anything useful. So here it goes.

Have a rig with:
1x MBO MSI B250M PRO VD
1x DDR4 4GB
1x Celeron
8x Gigabyte GTX 1060 OC 3GB Windforce
1x 256GB SSD on USB (also tried 16GB USB pendrive)
3x PCIe expanders 1->4x from aliexpress
1x 1.5kW server PSU.
OS: Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 17.04, Kubuntu 17.04, Windows 10 x64 - same results
Linux drivers tested: v375, v384. Windows - latest driver.
Mining ETH with Claymore's miner.


Problem #1
The OS lags a lot, even when no miner is running. But when I start mining, the OS becomes extremely unresponsive and crashes anytime within 10 minutes to 2 hours. Especially harsh on windows, I don't even have to start mining, it's enough to open USB drive or do any other task and CPU usage jumps to 100% on one core, saying it's being used by system interrupts. And then it gradually mitigates to second core as well, and then it freezes up.

Problem #2
I only get 15.7 MH/s per card stock, and max 18.9 MH/s OC to +100/+1000 MHz.

Problem #3
On linux, unable to overclock if IGD is enabled, some kind of problem with nvidia settings - xorg.conf file. Have to disable the IGD and connect the monitor to one of GTX cards. This is very inconsistent, sometimes I get different results, as it looks like BIOS is behaving weirdly - sometimes IGD sharing still works, even if it is disabled, but then it gets stuck on boot screen, while GTX proceeds in to displaying normal desktop GUI.

Has anyone tried this motherboard? It has a B250 chipset and should support up to 12 PCIe devices. Problem #1 and #3 does seem like a hardware problem, since i get same results on both Linux and Windows. I have adjusted PCI latency from 128 to 224 clocks with minor improvement.

Problem #2 is probably a driver problem? I have tried v375 and v384 on linux - same results. Should I try v372, like suggested by Claymore's miner?

Nvidia BIOS is encrypted, no chance for any tuning besides raising memory clock. Getting other cards or living with the below average hash rate is the only option for Hynix cards!

I love these Nvidias 1060s

PL 70%
Memorys +950
Core - 160

Runs fine 24/7 without issues

Yes, Hynix has bad timings. Hynix usually also do not go beyond +600. Samsung can go up to +1000. If you have set your cards to +1050, this could also explain bad performance, if the clock is too high, ECC correction will take place which then drops performance. I have my 8 Samsung running stable at +800, did not test any further...
