EWBF's NVidia CUDA Zcash miner 1060 - 170 h/s gtx 1070 - 250 h/s

Thanks a lot. Do you know if the Zotac mini can reach those values and be overclocked as the AMP extreme?

How to use the api to monitor this minier. Thank you

Hi @funnyboy027
You can easily access the API with curl-
curl 127.0.0.1:42000 -X '{"id":"0", "method":"getstat"}'

make sure you have --api in your launch arguments.

I have this error when running
{“error”:“Cannot parse request”}
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched close brace/bracket in column 15

Interesting, double check that you syntax is correct, you may have to escape some of the quotes or something.

You can try this code to use it with PHP;

<?php
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "127.0.0.1:42000");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "{\"ID\":\"0\", \"METHOD\":\"GETSTAT\"}");

$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);

echo $result

Thank you, I can query curl with this format -X “{"id":“0”, "method":"getstat"}”
For the PHP file I get the HTTP ERROR 500

<?php $ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, “127.0.0.1:42000”);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, “{"id":“0”, "method":"getstat"}”);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo ‘Error:’ . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);

echo $result;
?>

I figured it out, It needs to install php5-curl package

The Zotac mini 1070 cards are really cheap right now, about $330. Would these be good for mining as far as overclockability and thermals goes? Also could running a computer in a really cold room hurt it? I’m talking like -20 F at times.

You are lucky if you have a room that cold. Im jealous. Would be good for a little farm.

How the heck are you getting it that cold? A bunch of A/C’s turned on? :joy:

No it would be in my cottage during the winter. We don’t come stay in it during the winter, so there’s no heat or anything. And in upstate New York we have days where it can get really, really cold. But then in the summer I would relocate the rig to my basement.

I had to return this board because it forced 8x min on the 16pin pci-e. Got the MSI z170A Gaming M5 and it works perfect. The main problem now is that EVGA Precision XOC is limited to 4 cards. MSI afterburner allows more than 4 cards, but doesn’t have fan control for water cooled systems so that the blower fan never turns on. fun times!

I wish I had a winter cottage at -20. I also wish I had a basement!!! Life is full of wishes!!

Are you interested in collocating my miners at your cottage? lol @root try using nvidia-smi for your overclocking.

Nvidia-Settings are better for overclocking. I have a script that I run on Linux/Ubuntu that uses NS for my over clocks core/mem and then use SMI to change the TDP…you can do a little ocerclocking with SMI, but Nvidia-Settings is where you can really ramp things up…

Have you run any GPUs long enough at overclocked to know if it hurts their lifespan? I have done a little bit but left them at stock as I was worried about reducing their life span. Could you also PM me your OC script? I mine on Ubuntu 16.04

nvidia-smi still just gets the single fan percentage.

I’ll try this out later. What I really need is the ability to either force sync and change one fan, or change both fans independently. It seems like specialized functionality on the card that only EVGA Precision XOC knows how to handle.

I can handle the script side of things but detecting both fans has been the main issue. Once I finally figure this out I’ll post the script for others with more than four water cooled 1080 ti cards.

Hope I can get some help here :slight_smile:

Running:

GTX 1060 3GB x 2
GTX 1060 6GB x 1
GTX 1050ti x1
GTX 1050ti SC x 1

Diffrent manufactures.

Looks like every1 saying diffrent things about the clocking part, Ive tried alot with MSI AfterBurner and highest result is 1300 sols/s.

Any suggestions how to properly clock these ?

What are you getting from each card?

known h/s for these cards are:

x2 - 1050 ti o/c is about 138 ish
1060 6gb o/c is 300 to 345
x2 - 1060 3gb o/c is 300 to 320 (each)

high end #'s Math comes to 1261

Hi there. Took a while, to read all the posts in this thread :laughing:
Just joined the community and my main question is, where would you recommend greating a Zcash wallet, to mine ZEC directly. Instead of using NiceHash Miner to get paid in bitcoins?

Looking to test out what i get on EWBF with my Rog Asus Strix-Gtx 1070 OC (Micron) and MSI Gtx 1050 Ti. At the moment Nicehash is reporting about 350 Sols/s and 150 Sols/s with slight overclocks. Which is on the low side, reading that 1070 usually gets between 400-450.
