![]() That was pretty easy, especially given that that guy currently offers it for free (if it keeps working well, it's definitively worth to donate something). Instead I installed the custom mining Linux OS (Nvezos) made by the same guy that wrote the above comment on reddit: Here is described a possible solution which I didn't try: I found a way how to (probably) be able to overclock a Nvidia GPU on Linux. Step 6: Open up nVidia X Server Setting application. Step 4: From terminal: sudo nvidia-xconfig -enable-all-gpus sudo nvidia-xconfig -cool-bits=12 ![]() ![]() Step 3 : Install the nvidia driver 381.09 beta sudo apt-get install nvidia-381 Step 2 : Update the repos sudo apt-get update Step 1 : Add the Proprietary drivers ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa Here's is how I was able to enable overclocking for my 1060's on Ubuntu: I try to do most operations vie OpenSSH from my Desktop computer.įor example I tried these steps without any impact (apparently can't link the source): But before I re-install everything, including Ubuntu, I would really appreciate some advice.Īdditional notes: Not sure if the graphic cards need to have a display cable (HDMI, DVI) attached or something, but when I worked on this I had the Mainboard GPU attached to a display. To me the problem seems to be that the adjustments (Coolbits settings) don't have an impact at all and they are not stored.Ĭurrently I have no idea what to do. I also tried various other things which I found in the internet and which I already forgot. They actually have an effect, but are not saved after reboot. I also tried the power limits ( sudo nvidia-smi -pl 30) mentioned in that thread. I also tried everything mentioned in this thread. Also after a reboot or log-off and re-login the values I've added to nf are gone. These don't have any effect on the Nvidia X Server, so there is for example not showing up a bar to control fan speed. I tried to activate Coolbits in /etc/X11/nf by manually adding to the file: Option "Coolbits" "28" Currently I'm not even sure anymore if I have Cuda SDK v8 installed or not (I couldn't purge it). Currently I have uninstalled (purge) and re-installed the Nvidia drivers a couple of time (maybe this also had negative impact since I also receive two error messages when I boot the system). I made the whole setup mostly following this guide. Currently the original Nvidia driver is installed (In GUI in "additional drivers" the other options are grey now=unselectable). ![]() In Bios I have set PEG0 and PEG1 both to GEN1 the display has to be on IGD since I have the display connected to the integrated GPU (Can't reach the ports from the other GPUs) normally the display is not connected Mainboard MSI Z170A SLI Plus (with integrated Intel graphics adapter) 2 x Asus GTX Geforce 1070 Turbo 8 GB (temperatures ~70☌ - 81☌) 2 x Gigabyte GTX Geforce 1070 OC Windforce 8 GB (temperatures ~60☌ - 75☌) Both were lower when mining Ethereum with Claymore. Mining works fine, but the GPU temperatures and power cut be lower. It's a mining rig, currently running EWBF-Miner for ZCash (). Goal: I want to be able to change/adjust the fan speed, voltage, etc. I'm new to Linux, so this might also be a reason that I can't get it working though I'm learning constantly. I know this has been asked before, but all that I've read so far to this topic couldn't help me. ![]()
