Hey my man, how’s your rig going? I have 8 of these guys…. Exact same ones you have…. But I can’t get any to even touch 40……(except 1… barely) any thoughts or input ya could pass on would be greatly appreciated!
Did you try my settings:
Current Nvidia driver (495.44 and Hive OS versions)
Core -250
Mem 1800
PL 140
NBMiner-40.1
Give it a shot and keep them cool.
One or 2 of mine stay over 40, other four are between 38 and 40.
The cards fully unlocked should do about 50 MHS, my initial values on a different non-LHR optimized miner (Phoenix) we’re about 25 MHS, so if you are getting anything north of 37.5 MHS, you are seeing 75% full capacity.
I think that is the best you can expect without exotic and risky hacks. I’m exploring those cautiously, hoping mining software can get better LHR performance.
I have (4) 1660 series cards I was going to sell, hoping these (6) 3060 cards would give me around 300 MHS, but with LHR issue, I’m gonna invest in a new 8 rig MoBo/Power supply, put my (6) 3060’s into that and put my (4) 1660s back online. I’ll have 4 slots available for additional GPUs, and about 350 MHS total output.
I’m using NB Miner & N470.74
Thanks for the screenshot!
Maybe I’ll give T-Rex miner with those settings a try.
Every 2-3 MHS higher in my average = 12-18 MHS on my total capacity with 6 cards. So I should definitely try it.
I’m stable with NBMiner-easy to procrastinate interrupting a mining rig to start all over with OC settings on a different miner.
Thanks for sharing.
Just managed to get 48+ Mhs on my Asus RTX 3060 Ti
But again one of the cards are really tricky to get stable above 44 Mhs
The one on 44 was on just 38 and hitting the LHR.
I flashed it with the vBIOS from the other one and now its alot higher and not hitting the LHR limiter
Woah-that’s really good!
When you say flashed the vBios with the other one-can you get more specific on what you did?
Did you use the HiveOS vBios flashing tool?
Did you use a different Asus driver or a driver from a different brand?
I’d love someone to chime in here on switching specifically from an MSI GamerX 3060ti to the Ventus vBios…
I used GPU4 vBIOS to flash GPU5 in hiveos
Standard Nvidia drivers NBMiner 40.1 and the OC shown above
If anyone want to try, the BIOS is here
Hey all-minor enhancement. Have found through observation that running nbminer my LHR rates would degrade slowly over the course of a 24 hr period. Was manually restarting throughout the day.
Figured out how to schedule an hourly miner restart-helps keep hashrates above 42.5 MHS.
Use t-rex, that’s probably the shittier lhr-unlock from the competition reducing your hashrate. T-rex can get you the highest lhr unlock % of all of them, even with the latest gminer. At least for 3060TIs… I tested all of them and t-rex is the only one that gets close to 75%.
46.5-47.5 @ 118-132W. You’ll get slightly less hashrate but better kh/w if you keep the core at stock settings (1410 for my cards), prob ~45.5-46.5.
Note that you can only achieve mem clocks this high with Hynix mems on LHR V2 cards… seems they improved them between V1 and V2 cards, only micron/samsung V1 cards can do this. Of course people with V1 cards don’t care cause they ignore LHR anyway with the bios “hack”. In a post I made I have a guy showing +4000 mem clocks on the same cards with same bios which indicates same mem chips as mine. I didn’t try that far, but so far +3200 is stable, upping it slowly by 200 if it runs for 24h+.
If you can’t run a configuration for 24h or more, it’s not stable. Restarting the miner every hour is not the solution… first that will decrease your overall pool hashrate anyway, as reboot time + dag build time is potential lost shares. Also, if the reason the hashrate keeps going down is because it’s not stable OC, you’re just brute forcing an unstable configuration and will most likely kill the card way before it’s due time.
PS: don’t set PL for LHR cards. Locking the core to a fixed clock already keeps a relatively steady and low voltage and thus wattage. Unfortunately one of the ways LHR lock triggers easily is if the core clock is too low, so we can’t underclock the core to lower the voltage and thus consumption, but you can lock down until stock settings with 0 difference in the trigger level. After this, adding PL only bottlenecks the card’s actual power need and will bring instability/crashes/invalid shares. The old way of using PL to undervolt the card shouldn’t be mixed with locking core clocks, only with clock offsets and the card will fluctuate the core if it doesn’t have enough power to keep it up.
Thanks for the detailed response. I’ll process the info and experiment with T-Rex…I’m kinda ignoring my rig at the moment based on the crypto pullback, but I’ll experiment with Trex for sure.
Hey guys, sorry to piggyback on this thread with a slightly different question to OP, but given all the info above, do you think it’s a wise move to buying up LHR cards at the moment? I’ve always avoided them like the plague in fear that in a couple of years time LHR will have blown over and all cards will be at 100% again. But I didn’t realise the unlock was getting so close to being bypassed. I never thought I’d see 51MH on a 3060 Ti LHR.
So am I just worrying over nothing and should dive into LHR?
Cheers
I would avoid LHR wherever possible, but non-LHR cards are harder to find and more expensive.
If I could get 50+ mhs from these cards, I’d be in heaven. At 42 mhs, I still generate more ETH than I did with the rig I replaced. I need to try the setup above generating 52 mhs.
That being said, I had budgeted $400+, moving towards $500 per month when I upgraded, now it’s more like $300 per month with the crypto pullback. I want to put my old cards back into play, but waiting on ETH to recover before dropping more cash on equipment.
Omg, i’ve just discover this thread…
How is it even possible ignoring the fact of LHR IN NOVEMBER DUUUUDE?!?!??!?!
Are you still mining with those settings?
Yep-been getting over 40 mhs per card.
And as far as LHR-I guess I missed that whole thing-I owned like 4 older 1060ti cards that were pre-LHR. Just went for a more powerful card without doing proper research-it happens. Live and learn.
Haven’t taken the time to try some of the other suggestions here, but my work schedule changed, I might have some more time to tinker with it over the coming weeks.
Can you post a screen of the miner logs?
Is gminer exposing the LHR value?
I’m using nbminer. I’m not sure if I can grab the logs, maybe, but the LHR values I was reporting are visible on the terminal output when the miner is running. It reports the LHR unlock rate or something like that on the card stat summary output.
