I could not achieve high OC under 100% PL. Damn the Micron chip. Worse OCer.

Maybe its because temperature too high?

One thing is that. But Micron chip really bad overclocked...its an issue since they replace the samsung chip with lower grade micron. Where all manufacturers even give BIOS update to improve Micron overclock ability. Since my card is new, the Bios is the latest. Still, crash and artifacts easily at high OC. Not dare to overclock that high for 24/7 mining now.

Hmm, your PSU can supply enough power to the card?
1070 that I bought recently with micron chip can oc to +650 ok wor.

sure enuf. HX850 for GTX1070 and GTX960 only. 850W is a big powerhouse

Installed NiceHash Legacy for my RX570, while benchmarking my Antivirus kept popping up many different virus/malware warning.

Anyone facing the same problem?

Need to add nicehash folder into exception list of your antivirus.

Anyone mined Monero using their CPU?

The wallet has mining feature, but cant join pool

Can try nanopool, mining pool hub, zpool? But CPU mining is not profitable.

Guys, should I report my neighbour who is mining and didn’t do something to reduce to noise pollution? My family is affected by the noise whole day and night, causing loss of sleep.

Report to town council? Thanks!

I had seen the news that mining business got shut down by the council. https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news...2OMLYuemj78R.01

Did you report that? tongue.gif

hello sifu sifu sekalian, currently running on 850psu with 1060 6gb x 2. should be no problem to add one 1080 rite? hehe cause power consumption for 1080 is 140w.

so total 140w + 200w (2x 1060) + 150w (other parts) 490w. still less than 70% consumption of psu considered ok?

It should be, but stay on stock clocks. Overclock pulls more power.

Depends, if you have the time then you can fiddle around with overclock and lowering of power target.
*
lowering the PL means reducing performance. You rather stay on stock clock while not reducing any performance and your nvidia cards will have GPU Boost as long as temp is okay. I personally verify this myself. Reducing PL is to redue power use but reduce the boosting performance that it should can go.

Depends on the card, and what you want.

You stay on stock it usually runs hot, and there's a certain amount of power draw.

By lowering power target you get better efficiency.

Better efficiency means lower maximum hashrate of course, but it means your hashrate per watt is better.

Your cards also will run cooler, less noisy.
*
6X on stock PL% +100/+100 a mild overclock...well, that is good enough. Not necessary reduce PL% unless bad fan with bad chip where running near 80 for stock PL%. IMO my 2 cents.

On a side note, yes, what you suggest can work at any circumstance. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

About the temperature part, it varies from chip to chip and cooler used.

My GTX 1080 for example if I let it run stock then both likely to reach around 80c range. smile.gif Running both, I get about 1000 - 1100 sols. System power draw 380W from wall.

By reducing PL the draw is only around 310W, still get around 920 - 950 sols

950 / 310 = 3.06 sols per watt
1100 / 380 =2.86 sols per watt

Very slight different on hashrate (hence coin gained) but it's straight 70W difference on the bill, and if go beyond the low limit tariff it incurs additional running cost. Furthermore going at lower PL means the card is less stressed (lower heat) and fan also less stress, overall last longer.

Again case by case. smile.gif

btw what's your situation? This thread moves so fast, hard to track.
*
Your card is so hot at stock clock. Lol. Nope, nothing much. Just GTX 1070's Micron is a bad overclocker, very unstable in higher overclocks. My friend's GTX 1080 can OC better. +200/+1000MHZ for mining. Damn, I am jealous of such capability.

Closed casing. smile.gif When you run single casing with 2 GTX 1080 inside do mining, how to not hot? Even gaming temperature of GTX 1080 is around 80c range.

Oh forgot to mention 80c I wasn't running at max RPM. tongue.gif

GTX 1070 / GTX 1070 Ti / RX 580 / RX 570 produces less heat that's for sure.

You should see how we mine using HD7970 / R9 280X last time. 275w cards, max RPM also still 80c - 90c levels.

How many 1080 do you use for mining currently? :0

All coins having a hard drop now. Even mining value also decreases a lot. Do you notice that?

Yeah...all dropping now. Hopefully this stabilizes the GPU prices back to normal. Pity those who bought GPU at high price from scalpers.

It takes weeks for recovering. Hope it recover steadily. People will tell you to HOLD, not to the panic ones.

Hi guys,
Just got into mining, started with 2x1070.
I'm just following whattomine website and going with nicehash neoscrypt at the moment.

Just curious why eth mining is the main topic even when Nvidia cards are used? Is it because of the dual mining thing?
*
ETH is optimized for AMD cards to mine but Nvidia cards or any card >4G Vram can mine ETH. Eth can only be mined using GPUs and not ASIC miner, a lot like us can actually mine it simply just from our home PC, making it a favourable algorithms for home miners like us. But I mine equihash for my nvidia cards, as it is very optimized for nvidia cards.

Despite the fall of coins, I can still see the mining community getting stronger. And all graphics card prices are jacked up like xxxt. Who are able to purchase GPUs lately?

Hi wong,
Thanks for your earlier reply. Yes I just return from lowyat, no stock whatsoever unless you grab a bundle (and they only let you buy 1...)
Outskirt shop got chance to get?

Hi, Bro.

I have PMed several sellers like DotaTech, GTech Solutions, Zotac Malaysia, ModnDesignz those online sellers, all no stock, ETA not sure also. Feb/March probably until the demand settles down. Just mine whatever cards you have now. smile.gif

Hi

Just wondering foe mining if i buy nvidia 1080 and 1080ti,would that be problem? Also do i require to buy from same brand as well?

Thanks

Not necessary, you can just mine with both these cards. Unless you want to do SLI, then need a pair of 1080 / 1080 Ti.

hi guys I have question on gc:-

1.does the memory in the gpu will effect the hash rate ? some gpu like 1080 is 8gb,while the 1080ti is 11gb.

2.is the output for self assemble 8x Rx570 and Bitmain g2(using Rx570 220Mhash) is the same ?

3.would like to know which brand would u prefer Nvidia or Rx considering they would imposed PoS on ETH ?

4.max card I can for Nvidia is 6 and rx is 8 ?

thanks

I can only express some opinions. For mining equihash, I find that increase memory clock of my GTX1070 does nothing in imprving my hash rate but GPU clock does have an impact. I think increasing memory clock of RX series cards helps in increasing your Eth hash rate. If you are set to mine Eth, go for RX series cards. The other questions are not within my knowedge barrier.
