MonkeyF0cker Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 The card wasn't dead. It was a slot on the motherboard that wasn't active because of an M.2 setting in the BIOS. Thank God. Probably would have been a month before I could get another. Running ~180 MH/s @ 790W right now. Probably can do some power saving somewhere. Just making sure I'm stable for now.

Nuts. 180MH/s can be done now on 650W of 1060's. LOVING Ubiq right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm not insanely concerned about the power. If I reduce 150W, it would save me something like $10/month according to some mining calculators. I have 5 6GB 1060's coming tomorrow and one on Friday though. Looking forward to it. Those Ubiq returns look enticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankie Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 You can get 22.5-23MH/s from 70w, the 1060's are the most efficient cards at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 For sure. I'm pretty disappointed with the 1070's I got. One card was able to do 9700 MHz in memory clock and I could get 31.5 MH/s from but the others won't do much more than 30.5 MH/s so far (I still have some optimizing to do). The two STRIX cards that I got were actually worse than the Duals for max memory clock. I was hoping to get 32 MH/s per card on average but I don't think there's any way I get near that.

plommer Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 So I started putting together machine 1. Motherboard, processor, RAM, all tested and working fine. Installed Windows 10. Installed first GPU in PCIE 16X slot and it works, tested in nicehash with stock settings and no issues. Removed GPU and connected 3 GPU's to motherboard using risers. 2 cards detected and running, 3rd card nothing. Could be a riser. I have a feeling I'm going to be awake for a while.

plommer Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Cant get more than 2 GPU'S going - getting this error when 3 or more cards are installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyF0cker Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Did you flash the BIOS, plom? Do you have above 4g decoding enabled? Try disabling fast boot if it's enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plommer Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Have you enabled everything you need to in the bios? What do I need to enable in the BIOS? Did you flash the BIOS, plom? Do you have above 4g decoding enabled? Try disabling fast boot if it's enabled.I flashed the BIOS to the latest, yes. Will look into other two things.

spankie Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think there's some weird PCIE thing with that board. (something about certain pcie slots being used disables other pcie slots, probably something in the bios about it) Try moving the 3rd card to a diff PCIE slot. Does the 3rd GPU show up in device manager? How many minutes are you waiting after adding the 3rd GPU before launching your miner? Sometimes it can takes minutes for Win10 to add the device.

MonkeyF0cker Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Some of those x1 adapters for the risers are really touchy. I had to go into the BIOS, see if my board saw the cards in the fifth and sixth slots, boot to Windows, shut down, reseat the adapter, and try again. I had to do it about 20 times when I moved my rig today. So, it could also be that, plom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankie Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I guarantee you can run more than 2 GPU's on that board. They say the same shit about all kinds of other boards, 2 of which I am running 6 and 7 GPU's on and they say it can't be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankie Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 You need to swap cables, cards, risers, everything, eliminate the problem. I asked you if you are seeing the 3rd GPU under Device Manager. Is it showing up at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
