I don’t know. Maybe you got the jackpot in terms of quality components on your card and it’s just working better.
… yeah, I have no idea either. was just going to turn off the CPU mining, as its rather low by itself and the watts usage on old i7 bloomfields is not awesome. But with the GPU boost in Sol/s. I essential get an extra 300 sol/s when cpu mining on the GPUs and the standard low ass cpu s/s on to.
This is interesting. Are your cards at base-clock speeds or are you overclocking on Linux? Most of us are on windows for the overclocking software. I’m tempted to try this out on Linux. I’m also curious what temps you’re running at.
Check your nVidia control panel.
Right click on desktop, nVidia Control Panel, Manage 3D Settings and look for “Power Management Mode”. What is it set to? Also check your Power Options in Windows. Make sure under PCI Express, Link State Power is set to off.
This literally just randomly happened to me on 2 different nVidia related machines. I suspect Windows update borked something</.strike>
Just saw you’re running in Linux hahaha. Sorry!
you can see the temps in the .jpgs above. roughly 45 C on the water cooled and 55 C and 65 C on my air cooled. I am overclocking the gpu clock as described above. I am technically, overclocking the memory by 1000mhz… but in reality, it is running at base clock speed, as Ubuntu is running the cards at level 2. which drops the default memory clock by 1000mhz…so I am just forcing it to run at default.
(The top Pic above is GPU and CPU mining, bottom Pic is GPU only)
Asus Strix 1080TI (OC Edition), got 30-40 coming in this week, will post results.
Edit: I can lower it to 75% power limit and get to 700-705 sol/s around ~ 46-47 degrees.

Okay, I’m going to see if I can recreate this tonight. My main reason for wanting to get away from Windows is the forced (non-enterprise edt) automatic updates on Win10.
yeah, just takes a little more work getting setup in linux. the only thing I have yet to figure out on Ubuntu is how to drop the TDP. I have everything else set to automatically OC and start the miner on boot.
I doubt many would want it here… but within a week, my partner and I should have a Linux setup with miner to run headless up to 6 Nvidia GPUs (with more in the works) available on a 30GB SSD for around 40 bucks.
we are doing it mainly for our own server group. but will make it available to others.
amazing. I’ve got this card coming in a week. What should I do to get the same results? Use your afterburner settings is enough? Which pool are you using? Thanks for the answer.
the only thing I have yet to figure out on Ubuntu is how to drop the TDP
nvidia-smi -pl 150
where 150 is the number of watts you want to limit the cards to.
Only things I’m wondering. Is this going to restart every x amount of seconds? Or only if detected as it disconnecting.
as EWBF. or atleast mine likes to disconnect for no reason at all. Even though internet is fine, it looses connection and I have to hit enter on my computer to reconnect it.

No, it doesn’t restart anything unless the process is not currently running. It checks to make sure the process is running and if it isn’t then it restarts. The --eexit flag makes sure that the miner quits after 3 errors so that the script can check to see if it exists.
PERFECT. That is wonderful. Than. as I was going to say. Great script but if it is just force restarting every x amount of seconds. It’s kind of pointless.
That’s perfect. So it does EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks. This is perfect. You are a god send for building this script.
I wonder if its more stable mining using Linux instead of windows. hmm.
Hey @ds88,
What is the room temperature where you have the Rig?
do you have experience with asus strix 1080 ti ?
please advise
I haven’t, but have heard great things about Strix series. On Nvidia and AMD

your settings, it crash pc. i use Asus Strix 1080TI (OC Edition) too
Run in Linux. I have several 1080 ti rigs with seven cards no problem. Would do eight but then I am overloading my dedicated 20 amp circuits to each of my rigs, and I don’t want to rewire to 30 amps.
I also have no issue keeping the temps between 50C and 60C at full power (no water just fans… but noise is not an issue for me). You don’t need any additional software to control the card in Linux (unlike Windows), just the Nvidia drivers. You can pretty much change anything you want on the card, and have at least eight cards.
Just go to advanced windows update settings, hit pause for 35 days.
Then, run > Services
Scroll down and find Windows update. Right click > Disable
Then right click again > properties, disable on start up.
Windows update will then bug out and never update on you again. My 7 rigs are running fine with these settings.
I am a newbie. I have a PC with Asus 1080 ti with intel 7700k CPU, and RAM 32G, running windows 10.
I read several posts and tried different miners and pools, like Claymore, Minergate, and Nicehash; nanopool, minergate, alperem. I only got around 47 Sols/s low hashrate like mining Zash with nicehash Zcash miner in Minergate Pool.
I only had 1.4 Ms/h when mining ETH. I have no idea what’s wrong with my setting.
Could you please give me some suggestions?
