    I'm seeing the 3080 thermal mods, but what about a 3090 that has thermal pads under the backplate?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2021 12:54 AM PST

    My vision oc 3090 came with thermal pads under the backplate and thermal throttling still occurs. Is it worth it to buy a set of thermal pads and re-do it all? I currently have a AMD stock CPU cooler sitting on the backplate for now, but that only gets me 100mhs.

    Currently I'm thinking about getting this heatsink and a 100mm square thermal pad and sitting it on the memory and caps or the backplate.

    The trouble with this backplate is that there's a slight diagonal offset that runs across the memory area so getting a flat cooler to sit and make contact is hard.

    I heard about the ek water block that's coming, but don't know if it will come for my card.

    Would love to get your input as to what I should do.

    HiveOS Reboot issues on a Onda D1800 6gpu motherboard

    Posted: 28 Jan 2021 05:29 AM PST

    Hi, i have a Onda D1800 motherboard with onboard Cpu, 4gb ram, Hiveos on a usbstick and 6x Vega cards on the rig.

    I am currently doing fine tweaks to the cards to increase hashrate/get it stable, and i get occational crashes still. The problem i have is that when Watchdog senses a gpu crash, it reboots, but the rig does not boot up again. (the cards light up, and fans are spinning) .

    When i physically reset it with power switch or resetting the breaker it turns on just fine. I have noticed the motherboard makes a beeping sound on startup when i reset the power, but not when hiveos reboots it.

    any suggestions on how to fix this and get the hiveos reboot to work properly on this motherboard?

    Flexpool calculations has some sort of daily zero hour or off by one error bug at 12 am

    Posted: 28 Jan 2021 02:00 AM PST

    First, Check out any miner, here's an example:

    https://flexpool.io/0xe76454a33A9c58838eA7F03c6A97071AA1c4a473

    Basically, calculated hash rates double at 12 am. This looks like a coding bug that could be double counting at "hour 0".

    This is looks bad because flexpool calculates shares using PPLNS and having obvious arithmetic issues is pretty unpromising.

    Comments?

    Slapped a fan on top of the GDDR6X while waiting on thermal pads for permanent mod. 80 MH/s > 93 MH/s. Would recommend.

    New motherboard and PSU... 75% reduction in hashrate (RX 570)

    Posted: 28 Jan 2021 03:15 AM PST

    I had a HP computer with an 8GB XFX RX 570 in it and was getting about ~28MH/s. I wanted to expand to more GPUs but the proprietary HP PSU couldn't support it and the new PSU I purchased didn't work with HP's proprietary motherboard so I purchased a new motherboard as well. I currently have:

    • GAMEMAX GM-700W PSU
    • GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H Motherboard

    I have everything connected (I just moved my SSD, CPU, and RAM from the old board into the new one) and looking like it's working fine in Windows but my hashrate fell off a cliff and is only getting ~7 MH/s now, even when directly plugged into the PCIe x16 slot. Windows and the Radeon software aren't giving me any indication that the card got broken or is malfunctioning. I tried using DDU and reinstalling the drivers but that didn't help any.

    Any suggestions? The only time I saw something like this on my old setup is when I figured I'd get my system preset up for multiple GPUs and I installed one of those 4USB from 1 PCIe risers. Installing only one GPU into that made my MH/s fall down to 7 as well, but it was fixed by using a 1 slot, 1 riser setup or plugging the GPU directly into the PCIe slot.

    First time Rig Building Economic Thoughts

    Posted: 28 Jan 2021 04:00 AM PST

    First time Rig Building Economic Thoughts

    Hi - excited to join the community. I am building my first rig at probably the worst time, however I want to get into it to learn something new, and potentially get a small ROI on the investment down the line, and use all these learnings to build something better as a second step.

    Any future rigs should come in cheaper, given the stupid prices mainly for GPUs at the moment.

    Just wondered if these calculations make sense - I am mainly interested in the generated effective price of BTC after all costs considered - as I want to hold anything mined and not cash in for a longer time. So, really don't care about the BTC price today.

    Based on the theoretic rig performance that I put together the numbers show some interesting things.

    Is it right to assume that difficulty changes in % directly represent the amount of coins mined?

    If so - this model's assumption are:

    - an average 5% monthly difficulty increase in ETH

    - fixed exchange rate BTC ETH

    - effective cost per BTC per month is what you get if you would completely STOP at that point (hardware costs / number of months to that point)

    Insights

    - after 28 months the effective price generated for 1 BTC actually increases again despite lower hardware costs due to the increasing difficulty (would be a point to sell the hardware I guess)

    - first 8-10 months the rig is generating BTC to a higher price than current market value (this represents the /break even/ calculations from people I guess)

    - lowest price is around 22,999 after 28 months

    Now

    - no idea if its realistic that ETH difficulty would go up that much but the last 24 months was roughly that rate on average.

    - if ETH goes up the market price should align similarly? (irrelevant for the effective cost per coin anyway)

    - ETH 2.0 and anything else mining wise not considered

    So compared to just buying ETH at market price NOW, this allows to buy ETH on a credit really - spend down the line and it is like buying a CALL option on ETH?

    Flexpool Performance Testing

    so i've been playing around with vast.ai

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 09:22 PM PST

    Its pretty cool...kind of klunky but you can upload files (painful) and get a web shell to do shit (you are root inside an ubuntu docker container).

    I am mining FIRO and NIMIQ right now, its not profitable. But $100/day will be fun to pick up some tax free crypto.

    if you have two of the same GPUs (MSI RTX 2060) will one have possibly better mining performance then the other similar to how one might be a better overclocker then its counterpart?

    Can't control (fans or OC) more than one NVIDIA 3000 series GPU on linux

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 06:18 PM PST

    I've gotten my hands on a few RTX 3000 series GPUs, however I ran into a road block when attempting to control the fans on the GPUs as well as overclock the memory.

    Technically I have two somewhat separate issues:

    1. No matter how I configure xorg.conf, only the first GPU can be controlled, and trying to change the fan speed on the other GPUs fails with the message ERROR: Error assigning value 100 to attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed' (t3610-mining:0[fan:2]) as specified in assignment '[fan:2]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=100' (Unknown Error).
    2. To add to the problem, I can only overclock the first GPU using the nvidia-settings gui. I've tried the standard nvidia-settings -c :0 -a "[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=-200" -a "[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1400", which appears to succeed (Attribute 'GPUGraphicsClockOffset' (t3610-mining:0[gpu:0]) assigned value -200. etc), however monitoring the clocks with nvidia-smi -q -d CLOCK shows no change in the clock speeds. When I use the nvidia-settings gui the clocks change without issue (reflected by nvidia-smi and monitoring hash rate)

    Has anyone run into these issues before? I've temporarily stood up my rig with HiveOS, but it pains me to pay for something that, as a nearly 10-year Linux user, I bloody well ought to be able to do myself (this line of reasoning has in no way whatsoever negatively impacted my productivity over the years). I'm also not terribly keen on using a a cloud management interface.

    At some point I'll probably end up going through the HiveOS source code to figure out how to do configure Nvidia cards properly, but since that takes a lot of time I figured I should check here first.

    It has occurred to me that I'm using a newer Nvidia driver than HiveOS, has there been a regression or change of some sort that would explain these problems?

    Also if anyone has a working xorg config for this sort of setup that they wouldn't mind sharing I'd appreciate it.

    Some system details:

    • Manjaro Linux (recently switched from Debian Testing b/c of the opencl-amd aur package)
    • Kernel 5.9.16-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT
    • Nvidia driver 460.32.03
    • CUDA 11.2
    • Xorg-server 1.20.10-3
    • Pastebin of xorg configuration (I had copied an edid.bin from HiveOS...): https://pastebin.com/JKusu2H0

    PS. If this isn't the proper or best subreddit for this question, let me know and I'll move my post.

    pce164p-n03 vs pce164p-n07

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:47 PM PST

    New to the game, I ordered some AMD rx 570 and some GTX 1660s and I noticed that when the 1660s is connected to a pce164p-n07 (ver 7) riser the fan will not spin, it will work otherwise but overheat obviously. When connected to a pce164p-n03 (Ver 6c) riser they work fine. The risers look almost identical with the obvious difference being that the n07 has a sliding clip and the n03 has a spring clip. They are both powered by 6-pin. The Rx 570 does fine with these other risers.

    Has there been any discussion on the potential of the new nVidia Ampere cards?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 03:04 PM PST

    I know, it's a joke at this point trying to find cards, much less at a reasonable price. And yet manufacturers are touting new Ampere cards as early as next month at good prices. Even though they can't supply cards they already have in production.

    Nevertheless, I'm just curious if there has been any speculation or conversation about the performance and hash rates for these new cards? Couldn't find anything here.

    Is this PCI-E 6+2 Y-splitter okay? This is unsettling to me.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:55 PM PST

    I'm new to cabling so please bear with me...

    I bought a bunch of PCI-E 6+2 splitters with the intention to make my PSU's connector be able to power 4 risers.

    The idea is, the PSU connector provides 2x 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors, so 300W on the cable. This is then split into two 6+2 pin PCI-E pins of 150W each. So if I could further split the 150W 6+2 PCI-E pin into two 6 pin PCI-E connectors, I could get 4x 75W PCI-E 6 pin connectors.

    Anyway, my cables arrived today and I took a good look at them and I'm having serious doubts about what they do...

    https://imgur.com/a/JPdyE3k

    As you can see what happens is, the one PCI-E 6+2 pin is basically evenly split between two other 6+2 connectors. Obviously I don't care about the extra 2 pins since I intend to use only 6 but it looks off; the 2 extra pins double the cable's power output so I'd expect them to be mapped in some way to provide power to the remaining pins as it splits, but it doesn't, it just splits them as well. That means that if I were to use this as a 6 pin Y-splitter, all the power is drawn through the branching connector's 6 pins, which only provide 75 W and the other 75 W on the remaining 2 pins go unused. Something can't be right...

    By contrast I looked at this cable I found online:

    https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Mines-Y-Splitter-Extension-Ethreum/dp/B0719P4DHN

    This has an extra loop that splits the power from two of the initial 6 pins to the other two. This also looks like what the original cables on my PSU look like, with that tiny loop at the end. So what's going on here?

    Mining with 2GB cards in 2021 | Any ideas other than Ubiq?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:59 PM PST

    I'm going to buy 6x RX 560 2GB at a very cheap price.

    I can resell them at a higher price without any problems, I'm buying them really cheap. However I'd like to maximise my profit and mine on them for a month or so just for fun.

    Are there any coins other than Ubiq to mine on 2GB cards?

    By the way, 14 x 6 = 84 MH/s on Ubiq = $1.60 per day.

    I like those numbers. 1MH/s on Ubiq right now is more profitable than 1MH/s on ETH in May-June.

    I'd really like to mine some different coins to hodl them and just for fun. Don't want to get stuck with Ubiq only. Any Ideas?

    3070 max memory OC Danger?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 09:22 AM PST

    Is there any long danger to damaging a GPU by pushing the memory clocks hard if you keep things cool?

    Wondering how far it's safe to push 3070s for long term mining. As long as it's stable is it fine? Also curious how far you guys are pushing things.

    Right now I only have my cards at +1,100 in Afterburner.
