max 45:/ but only in w10…and I am amateur 
Do you have any update about when it will be working in hiveos?
Remember everyone, along with the required Dev driver, an HDMI header/monitor, and OC’ing it through Afterburner, yes it requires (2) x16 slots BUT they have to be running in a minimum of x8 mode or it WILL NOT WORK. Plugging the 3060’s into an x16 slot and wonder why it won’t work? Check your motherboard’s documentation to ensure the slot is at least x8 mode.
Also I’ve found that on newer motherboards, it requires Gen3 for the speed but on older motherboards, auto works perfectly. I’ve tested this on an Aorus Pro Wifi motherboard and it required Gen3 for the slots but on an OLD Asus motherboard, auto worked fine.
And please stop asking if this is supported on HiveOS, the short answer is no. We’re waiting to get a Linux driver to unlock the 3060’s the same way the Dev driver does.
Nvidia “apologies” for the driver, and said that it was not a code for run on production; it was for development purposes. I guess that functionality will not be out again in an official driver
As I see, some expert mind on nvidia has to decode what is the difference between the current driver, 470 driver and 470 official driver, and see which is the difference, in terms of instructions. Maybe a kind of MOV or ST with some kind of magic number will unlock this. I bet my two cents that nvidia will remove that microcode on 470 official driver.
So far, for me was very difficult to find a motherboard with 2x PCIe 16x, running both at 8x. Motherboards with chipsets for LGA1200 have all the second one PCIe 16x at 4x.
I’ve found an Asus Maximus VI , with 3x PCIe x16, can run the first two at 8x. I’ve bought one of that, but are super hard to find
I see. I have also gaming mobo with two dimm.2 slots. Acording to me its next PCIE line so it should work. I ordered adapter m2 to Pcie and am going to test.
I’ve found that a SSD **NVMe 960 EVO ** is a 4x PCIe 3.0 x4. This requires 4 lanes of PCIe, and theoretically, it should not work. If there’s something that bypasses Nvidia protection because of M2 form factor, you’ve found a gold mine, because you can connect two 3060 without buying a new mobo.
Normally, m2 risers are 1x PCIe, but it’s a very good try
Would these two motherboards be viable for 2 3060s each?
ASUS Prime Z490-A
ASUS Prime Z270-A
Thanks for the help.
Yes, asus prime z490-A is a good one. It’s socket LGA1200
Z290-A is also good, but with socket LGA1150
Mi list for LGA1200 is:
ASUS PRIME Z490-A
ASUS ProArt Z490-CREATOR 10G
ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-F GAMING
ASUS ROG STIRX Z490-E GAMING
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII (any)
Gigabyte Z490 VISION G
MSI MEG-Z490-UNIFY

Can I use rtx 3060 and rx590 together? Each in a different PCIe slot. Will be work? What is the driver installation procedure?
I Have 2 palit 3060 on hive 1 day of tests. 26.3 mh/s at the moment on fenix miner on N460.56.
Remember that this driver works on Windows. You need to install both drivers, 470.05 for Nvidia from downloaded from mega sources, and AMD driver from official sources.
It would work, you just have to use a miner that allows Nvidia and Amd at the same time, or use two miners: one for nvidia card and another for AMD.
My first though is t-rex for 3060 and teamredminer for AMD.
Just be sure that 3060 is on first PCIE, and has a monitor connected, or a fake monitor connected
And what about ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX APEX with * Intel Z270 - 1151 socket. Acording to me may works for two 3060s also.
Yes. Check a mobo that has this, or two way SLI for connecting two 3060
No windows mining at all for 2.5 yaers.
Why do you need windows for?
I doing rigs on 12 cars for 2 years on hive no MORE win any more!
Soo do you understand that drv works on BIOS on card in order to work on 100% load?
Stop saying anythimg to me about PCI-E x1x8x16 there are no diference in then you are not in gaming or overlocker championship this is mining algo in you card and the solution to the pool will be send by internet on 8 -100 bit and why you need PCI-E 3.0 x16 to do what?
Seems that Nvidia put something on such bios that detects how many lines of PCIe is using by this card, and if it has a monitor attached. With such conditions, and with 470.05 driver, the card is unlocked to achieve full potential on ETH mining. Also, you have to use windows to use such driver
Without such conditions, the card is limited. Of course, for other algorithms, the card works perfectly on PCIe x1 and HiveOS, but so far nobody was able to understand what that driver does to unlock the card.
When someone will understand this, we will be able to use the card at full potential on Linux based distributions.
If Nvidia detects x8 PCIe or 16x PCIe at Bios, you’ll need to modify the Bios, or use another workaround to solve this.
So far, at March 28 2021, the only way to achieve such ~50 Mh/s on 3060 is on such conditions. So, all the info on this post is true and usefull
Soo this topik will be solved in new pill drv for this cards in 1-2 month time.
Now 25 mh/s on RVN it is OK.
I have asrock z68 extreme3 gen3 its old motherboard .
Is it support one or two 3060 ?
Hello everyone, I have 2 RTX 3060 cards in different machines running with the 370.05 drive, I’m getting it in 48mh.
Both run with Core Clock -200, Memo Clock +1450 and power limit of 69.
It’s paying off for the price I paid in Brazil.
Hi guys… please confirm me one thing… when you say that your GPU’s can achieve the 50 or more Mh/s, on WINDOWS… what are you refering… is that you are mining with WINDOWS, but without HiveOS ?
if is this correct?, how are you mining with the GPU’s, and if you use a third party client/app/system, you cannot control it, or monitorize with Hive OS, like a Solo mining machine…
is this correct ???
Yes. This is correct. On Windows, these 3060 12GB cards can get around 50MHs following the very strict guidelines (which someone else mentioned before).
You cannot monitor the cards remotely, unless you use TeamViewer or something.
It’s just about downloading the miner files, and then running the program on the Windows desktop.
