Fellow miners,

this is the build I use with my AMD rx series rigs.

rxOC is a customized Ubuntu 16.04 build with AMD OC support, manual fan support, auto launching on boot, and a single easy to configure Bash Script (oneBash) which can be configured from a windows pc using wordpad.

Expected Bios settings (I have not tested all of these for AMD rigs):

If you are using an ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85; either should work with without any changes to the bios settings.


If you are using an MSI Z270-A PRO; ensure you enable Above 4G memory option in the bios before connecting the nvOC USB.  


If you are using a GIGABYTE GA-B250M-Gaming 3; ensure the Audio Controller is disabled in the bios.


If you are using a BIOSTAR TB250-BTC; ensure Miner Mode is enabled in the bios.  Also ensure Max TOLUD is set to 3.5 GB in the bios.


If you are using an ASUS Z270-F GAMING; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios.  Also ensure PTP aware OS: is set to 'Not PTP Aware' in the bios.  Finally, ensure you 'Clear Secure Boot Keys' in the bios.


If you are using an MSI Z170-A GAMING M5; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios.  Also download, unzip and copy to a usb key ( the 2016-12-19 Version 1.D ) Bios and follow instructions to flash the bios.


If you are using an ASUS PRIME Z270-A; ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios.  Also ensure PTP aware OS: is set to 'Not PTP Aware' in the bios.  Finally, ensure you 'Clear Secure Boot Keys' in the bios.


If you are using a GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3; ensure the Audio Controller is disabled in the bios.


If you are using a ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS; You must update the bios; with this motherboard it can be done by connecting an ethernet cable and entering the EZ Flash 3 Utility.  Select DHCP and download then install the update.  It should look like this.  After updating ensure 'Above 4G Decoding' is enabled in the bios.


If you are using a BIOSTAR RACING Z170GT7; Ensure you are only using the first 6 pcie slots closest to the CPU.  Ensure you set Security Device Support to: Disable Finally ensure you set the max TOLUD to 3.5 gb

https://github.com/hartmanm How difficulty adjustment works: Every 2016 blocks, the Network adjusts the current difficulty to estimated difficulty in an attempt to keep the block generation time at 10 minutes or 600 seconds. Thus the Network re-targets the difficulty at a total difficulty time of:  2016 blocks * 10 minutes per block = 20160 minutes / 60 minutes = 336 hours / 24 hours = 14 days. When the Network hashrate is increasing; a difficulty ( 2016 blocks ) should take less than 14 days.  How much less can be estimated by comparing the % Network hashrate growth + what the Network hashrate was at the beginning of the difficulty ( 2016 blocks ) against what the Network hashrate was at the beginning of the difficulty ( 2016 blocks ).  This is only an estimate because you cannot account for "luck"; but you can calculate reasonably well using explicitly delimited stochastic ranges. The easy way to think about this is to look at this graph and see how close to 0 the current data points are on its y axis.  If the blue line is above 0 the difficulty ( 2016 ) blocks should take less than 14 days; if it is below it should take more. http://bitcoin.sipa.be/growth-10k.png

Hi fullzero,

Could we get a sgminer (with ethash-new.cl) as an alternative to Claymore.

The big news now is Claymore's ASM implementation may have some issues in the coming epoch and diff level.

I am on Claymore for ETH mining and I think we better have Plan B just in case.

Thanks

If I provided you good and useful info or just a smile to your day, consider sending me merit points to further validate this Bitcointalk account ~ useful for future account recovery...

read more on the subject and seems that sgminer is likely also impacted .....

Does it work with R9 Fury GPUs?

It should work with R9 fury GPUs.

You have a disk error.  Ubuntu grubloader will attempt to repair the error; if you wait a long time it might repair it and boot; but I would do the following:

Reimage the USB key; like so:

first check and see if your zip has downloaded correctly by following the directions here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1984302.msg19757170#msg19757170

If your zip produced the same hash it is good.

Maybe you imaged from the zip without extracting?

Ensure that you extract the image before imaging.

After imaging is complete, and you have configured and saved oneBash:

ensure that you properly eject the USB key.

Let me know if this works.



I did it all the process again, downloading, checking, extracting, flashing.
Same error Sad .
I am using an 32Gb Adata USB Key.

Anyone have rxOC working with 7 GPUs on MSI Z170A PRO Carbon motherboard?

I modded the BIOS a month ago and have it running 7 x 470s on Windows 10- but tired of windows instability.

Recently, I tried both smOS and rxOC with no luck.

If any one has been successful, please let me know.

I will also enquire elsewhere to check if EthOS works for this setup.

This mobo should have similar requirements to the z170 gaming 5; but I can't say for sure (as I don't have one myself):

Other members have reported that the Version 1.7 bios is the one to use for this mobo:

Download BIOS Version 1.7: https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html#down-bios

unzip, copy to usb key, attach to rig, use the m-flash to flash the 1.7 bios

then ensure you set Above 4G decoding to enabled

Also you might need to use a skylake CPU: G4400

If you try this let me know how it goes.


Yup- I have a skylake CPU -ie: G4400. I f i have another bad day with my windows 10 system , I will try what you suggested and let you know how it works.

Thx. Smiley

I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but the motherboards that fullzero lists are all intel motherboards.
If anyone was wondering though, I have a MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition AMD motherboard and an Athlon II CPU and I got fed up with ethOS, so I gave rxOC a shot.  I can confirm this works with 4 GPUs.

by the way fullzero, thanks for nvOC and rxOC.  Amazing work!

it comes up with a popup says HI m1, you have a file open what would you like to do.... bam reboot

im a moron i left the SRR connected to the motherboard so it kept restarting it because it wasnt getting the signal..

LOL...

very customizable this rxOC and nvOC

at the same time, for a Linux newbie,  great way to play and learn Linux

thumbs up to fullzero

Ok I am converting all rigs to this now and ran into an issue. All rigs cannot be called m1-desktop!

How can I change the hostname so all your scripts still work?

m2-desktop, etc...?

One question though, does that driver cause any problems with modded bios on the rx 480?

You can change the hostname of the computer that TeamViewer uses without changing the hostname itself
When you sign in with your account it gives an option to add this computer that's when you change the hostname

I don't have any 480s so I can't test this; has anyone tried using a custom rom with rx480s + rxOC?

I don't have 480s anymore I have all 470s
And have no issues with my custom bios
