  Try googling the error and you will see some options here: https://github.com/KlausT/ccminer/issues/69 namely, try backing clocks down, and/or run with --no-cpu-verify in the FLAGS= and see what happens. jjziets created this issue in KlausT/ccminer closed GPU #4: result does not validate on CPU! #69

  GT 730 is not listed as a compatible GPU for mining by the nvidia driver - you will have to purchase GPUs that are capable of mining. Generally $50 GPU is not "performance/gaming equipment needed for mining" Thanks

  EWBF API Bind issues are well documented and well ignored by the developers. Recommend using dstm or bminer. https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+api https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/issues/77 https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/issues/51 https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/issues/4 https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/issues/5 https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/issues/14 https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/issues/38 tvavrys created this issue in nanopool/ewbf-miner open Highly unstable HTTP API #77 RivertonRat created this issue in nanopool/ewbf-miner open API: Issues accessing Result class variables #51 starlilyth created this issue in nanopool/ewbf-miner open API: Bind error (Version 0.3.3b) #4 starlilyth created this issue in nanopool/ewbf-miner open API data request #5 ChristopherHaws created this issue in nanopool/ewbf-miner open API: HTTP Server Protocol Violation #14 clumsyzombie created this issue in nanopool/ewbf-miner open Not a Issue just wondering about API #38

  Nanopool informed that miners would stop working on April 6 and that an update was required. I run pimpup and updated the miner, but it stopped working anyway. I need to know how to update to a working version. With thanks, HMM

  you need to disable your onboard video. i can see its still enabled here { "gpu_id": "0", "fanspeed": "90", "temptarget": "70" }, and here 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 610 (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) This also looks like you are underpowering one of your risers. GPU 1: AMD Radeon RX 570, Temp: 25C, Fan: 88%, Core Clock: 1400 Mhz, Memory Clock: 2000 Mhz, Power profile: performance (DPM mode), Power Usage: 2.132 W GPU 2: AMD Radeon RX 570, Temp: unknown, Fan: unknown, Core Clock: unknown, Memory Clock: unknown, This is how it always goes on my machine. When one has a power issue i start getting unknown reports from the gputool --status or --config. Once one GPU has an issue the rest of the chain falls out despite there are fine. I recommend remove on GPU from the chain at a time, reboot and rebuild the gpu-config.json. You also have to reboot after rebuilding it before trying the --status because things about PCI bus config gets cached by the OS. Its an arduous task but generally helps to isolate a single card.

  This vnc issue was fixed 3 pimpups ago. If not, reimage using the latest image for your GPUs and run pimpup.

  cafraser57, when i have issues like this it is the riser power connectors acting up every time. I found after months of trial and error, that OC my cards (squeeze 30H/s for ethereum on an RX580) would work fine but it meant that I blew up or melted connectors on the PSU. I suggest to remove all the power cables and investigate. I learned that trying to power two risers with one 6-pin to SATA cable was too much with the OC. 2 would work stably for longer periods only with the OC backed down a fair amount.

  @jwerner Hello jwerner, Current Dev team like everyone else is awaiting AMD to supply correct drivers and also for the miners to support Vega. Any updates on this I’m sure will be communicated via pimp community in Discord app but no eta as all on AMD at this point in time to provide the drivers. Have a good weekend, Best Louis

  Hello tnewbold, Sorry you are having trouble re getting the 5th gpu to be detected. I also read on forum post about a similar EVGA motherboard to yours, where the user was having problems re getting 4th and I believe another user was having difficulty getting the 5th gpu running. Nvidia gpu's in my opionion are the best not just for hash rate but for ease of use re setting them up and being recognised by the motherboard too. I use the "ASUS STRIX B250F GAMING Motherboard" on all my rigs and even created a forum post on how to config the BIOS: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/242/asus-strix-b250f-gaming-motherboard-only-recognizes-one-geforce-gtx-1070/4 I'm more then happy to help you set this motherboard up if you decide to purchase this motherboard, as I share your frustration re your current motherboard, it may be in the long run quicker and less time consuming for you to replace your current motherboard - you'll also save yourself from more stress and heartache re not having your gpu's mining away. From what you've said you done most of the hardware troubleshooting, I don't believe it's a driver issue, especially as it's Nvidia cards, and also that the Pimp drivers are customised and, forgive me hear but if it was a problem with the Nvidia drivers then all Pimp users would be experiencing this problem, though I fully share your frustration. In my opinion, I would say you could try re-imaging Pimp OS again, or option two keep your current motherboard and use it as a 4 gpu rig as you've mentioned above, or thirdly, replace the motherboard with the "ASUS STRIX B250F GAMING Motherboard", it's also has 6 slots for risers, and possibly but don't quote me on this, as I've not tested it yet, but one of the M2 slots is capable of being used for mining too, so potential seven gpu's for this motherboard!! I will of course be online as my fellow support staff are too to help you if you need it to get you up and running. What every you decide, please do let us know how you get on, and welcome to Pimp, and thank you for your support - Also if your not a member already, please do join us for live chat via Discord app, url: https://discordapp.com/invite/x7ME72 Best Louis

  miners crashing after a period of time on my setup usually have to do with bad power cables. my risers come with sata to 6-pin and those connections have burned out after miners running for days and weeks. sometimes they aren't even clicked together 100%. i would check there first. I have a neat trick for testing power inconsistencies. I use https://github.com/DominiLux/amdgpu-pro-fans to also control my fans, and with the miner stopped (so you don't create heat) use the command to set the fans to speed 2 which stops the fan. A badly powered riser wont change the fan speed so look for one still running.

  GPUTool has always stopped and waited for input when a miner is running. This has not changed. If you REALLY want to apply gputool values when the miner is running, and do not want to stop at the question, use '--quiet'. 'gputool --config --quiet' This will skip the running miner question. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT GPUTOOL CANNOT ALWAYS APPLY VALUES IF THE MINER IS RUNNING. That is the reason the question normally stops there. IF you use 'quiet' and your values are not applied that is why.

  @chowhan Your NVCOffset and NVMOffset should be a value like +XXX or -XXX. This may have changed recently, but this works for me. For example I want to make my core run 150(MHz??) faster: "NVCOffset": "+150", Same for Memory (500 (MHz??) faster): "NVMOffset": "+500", Likewise, if you want to reduce the core and memory frequency: "NVCOffset": "-100", or "NVMOffset": "-200", And you really should disable the onboard video card. It causes more issues than it solves, and it confuses the PiMP scripts sometimes. After you set the over-clocks, can you post the output of the "nvidia-smi" command? This will show if they are being set properly. Try shutting down the miner before trying to apply the config. e.g. run "ms 1", wait for he miner to stop, and then run gputool --config. The video shows the miner running and you are trying to change the settings during active usage, which will be slower. Think of changing the values during use is like shifting gears in a car without using a clutch. -MAL
