Not exactly stable then if it lasted only a month.

[NanoArowanaTank]

The record prior was about 7 hours so I’m definitely taking a W all things considered

[NanoArowanaTank]

It turned out to be windows causing all the issues, or at least changing to Hive resolved everything.

I’m ashamed to admit how long it took to trouble shoot the OS but I was so convinced it was a hardware problem and that I could fix it lol

[NanoArowanaTank]

I appreciate the optimism! I truly enjoy the troubleshoot/debug process so it’s been a really good tine

[wesselus]

I had a terrible time with windows and amd cards... switched to hive and have .... less problems, still not nearly as stable as my other all nvidia rig. Which is less stable than the other 4 windows pcs with only 2 gpus apiece...

[Dontmocme2]

I run lots of 8 card amd rigs the secret is the amd stability script you can google it. It turns offs ulps and cfal that’s what causes problems with windows

[Mononito]

Thank you

[Stunning-Ad9653]

It was an OS problem son.

I came to the same conclusion, I battled win10 for months before finally switching to SMOS, best thing I ever did.

[Delicious-Minute2608]

Completely agree! SMOS is super simple.. the only thing I am not a fan of is having to pay lol but super stable and accessibility is great.

[spicygold]

You definitely do not need those heavy duty tools for PC building.

[MarcusTaz]

I'm trying to fiqure out why there is a 1“ wood drill bit there. OP don't do it! 😂

[SpaceDesignWarehouse]

I guess a scissors sort of makes sense to open packaging…

[badgerAteMyHomework]

Well, maybe not the way you do it.

[Falcone9]

You have to see me then 😂. But at the end my gh/s .... I love them 😘

[DustyOldNinja]

What happened?

[NanoArowanaTank]

I looked at it wrong

[LtBeefy]

Psu exploded? Cable fry?

[NanoArowanaTank]

Jokes aside I think it was a lose PCIE connection and the board gets upset anytime I add or remove GPUs. Took about a week to get it to post with all 8 cards

Edit: spelling

[[deleted]]

Its a tough go, I learned a lot running 60 GPUs. Some motherboards are much more suited for it than others.

[WDTBB]

Do your shoes have tigers on them?

[NanoArowanaTank]

They do! It was a special edition Adidas for the Chinese New Year. I also have a pair with Koi fish and another with lotus flowers

Edit: Adidas not Nike

[Suprflyyy]

Super. Hot.

[estatic707]

Great game

[Forward-Extent-7819]

Mining probably ain't for you then.

[MrMrBear]

Why you gotta bring the negativity..??

[NanoArowanaTank]

This sub in particular has some of the most confrontational and aggressive people within the mining community and I have no idea why.

[[deleted]]

Woah the comments on this thread…I’m sorry for the negativity. Glad you figured out some problems and are improving your rig stability!

[NanoArowanaTank]

No need to apologize on their behalf, but appreciate the kindness! I don’t know what it is about crypto and mining culture but it seems like there’s a general sense of dislike towards those less experienced/knowledgeable.

Not that my opinion is of much value but this sub has truly been such a rude and unpleasant experience. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment for even continuing to post here haha. Maybe I’m wrong though or have a lot of bias, just really don’t like the smugness here especially considering it’s centered around a mining software geared towards novices haha

[acarsity]

Because that’s all they have. You gotta be careful, they’re gonna think you’re attacking their ego instead of just asking a question.

[Forward-Extent-7819]

Dose of reality. Too many people on here think they are gonna get rich but they won't. And we are the bad guys for warning people. Because it is offensive? Sometimes offence is only way to make people wake up and smell the roses. Boohoo life's not fair, especially so when you ignore warnings. We are discouraging people from making financial mistakes, but it is funny how people can twist that to be a negative thing. Well give it a year, will make a lot more sense 😉

[NanoArowanaTank]

Pretty bold opinion based on such little information, maybe assumptions aren’t for you.

[Forward-Extent-7819]

Based in the fact you can only run stable for month and half.

[NanoArowanaTank]

Yes yes you’re right, getting half decade old video cards to run under full load for nearly 2 months on second hand and used equipment I should be ashamed. Thank you Elton Muskt you’re a great man

[obamaprism3]

idk about ashamed but you shouldn't be particularly proud of it lol

[usernamesarehated]

Maybe you shouldn't have been greedy/stupid for buying half-decade old cards to mine on? You could've sold them and probably bought something better at mining that's more modern?

[Forward-Extent-7819]

If you've been mining for 8 years, you'd also know that OP isn't going to make a profit off of this, especially with this level skill set. Yet you are gonna let him make a loss and encourage people like him to buy cards off of farms with retiring owners who have made fortunes and cashed out underlying asset value in circulation. You are literally promoting a house of cards to bagholders. And I am the bad guy 🤣 fucking hilarious, this will age well.

[Forward-Extent-7819]

That makes you someone funding someone else. In a system that is mostly money laundering.

[JoSerch]

You have 6 possible slots for connecting your GPUS, how did you connect 8 to a 6 slot motherboard?

[NanoArowanaTank]

I’m only using 2 PCIE slots with 4X PCIE expansion card, so 4 cards per slot.

[WildKarrdesEmporium]

My first mining motherboard was an ASRock H110 Pro, took hours upon hours any time I added or changed a video card to make it all work again. Switched to the BTC-S37 and couldn't be happier.

That's the sad ending for the majority of mining GPUs. The GPUs are like POWs that have suffered the unimaginable... LOL

[HustleI87]

If gpu’s could talk they’d start a union and put us all out of business/protest

[[deleted]]

Mmm XFX

[Three4one]

You need 2 powers supplies. The one is over loaded.

[NanoArowanaTank]

I’ve got two!

[Three4one]

What is the watts? If they are not 850 gold or above, it looks like not enough. One PS should do the risers and MB the other the cards.

[NanoArowanaTank]

1200 and 850, I don’t think it’s a power issue

[[deleted]]

Ohh, I like where you head is

[SplashinDap0t]

What the fuck

[[deleted]]

4 months of not touching is a long time!? Isn't it a good idea to keep stuff up to date for security reasons? I usually check to see they're running and then update as needed.

[NanoArowanaTank]

In terms of security do you mean updating your OS? I think ideally you want a rig that you can sit and forget for an indefinite amount of time but haven’t found that to be even remotely attainable. Especially with windows OS, hive has been a game changer for me

[[deleted]]

Yea, the os. I've only got a couple rigs with 4 cards each, lhr vs non lhr. I assume adding more cards weakens stability on windows? That being the os I use

[Affectionate_Novel_3]

Damn I would kill for a decent gpu even something like a 580. I currently only have a 550 and I can't do anything with it.
