Web Interface Updates * May 23, 2020

Major changes in this update:

• updated AMD GPUs OC dialogue

Updated AMD GPUs OC dialogue

For best AMD GPUs overclocking experience especially for new AMD GPUs generation cards such as Vega and Navi we’re added new fields to AMD OC dialogue such as VDDCI (memory controller interface voltage), MVDD (memory chips voltage) and Power Limit (allows you to limit the power used by the core).

Memory controller interface VDDCI and memory chips voltage MVDD sets in mV and currently applicable only for Navi family cards.
The default value for VDDCI is 850 mV. The permissible range is 750-850 mV.
The default value for MVDD is 1350 mV. The permissible range is 1250-1350 mV.
Use this parameters only if you understand what you are doing otherwise you can get a very unstable system.

Power Limit (PL) sets in Watts and allows you to limit the power used by the core graphics card.
In most cases, AMD cards are not required if the frequency and core voltage are set.
Currently applicable only to Vega and Navi GPUs family

Hive OS web interface updates, 17.06.2020

What’s new?

• A wide selection of 2.0 firmware settings for ASIC Antminers of the 17th series: set up frequencies, voltage, critical temperatures, automatic switching of the profiles, etc. Turn on the chips and boards protection against short circuit — it can be caused by manufacturing defects.

• Filter devices by the currently used flight sheet:

• Downgrade the Hive OS version for ASICs:

When selecting a version, you can also see what functions will become unavailable after the downgrade:

• In Schedules you can select a timezone that will be used for automatic execution of the required task:

Do not forget to check the time of the next operation of Scheduler:

• Now you can receive notifications about the “loss” of GPU or board directly to the Telegram bot — you will miss nothing!

Integration of Hiveon ETH pool and new features of the Hive OS web-interface

We have updated the web-interface of Hive OS. What’s new?

The most important update — Hiveon ETH pool is now integrated into the web-interface of Hive OS!

Now, instead of switching to the page of the pool, you can check all the essential information right in the dashboard of Hive OS:

• Payouts;
• Hashrate;
• Shares of the pool (valid, stale and invalid);
• Statistics;
• Workers’ statuses (online/offline).

View video demonstration: external link

Integration of the pool is not the only update:

• Now it is even easier for you to filter your devices — we added a filter by the firmware for GPUs and ASICs:
  

  

• If you need to provide someone (for instance, your administrator) with a link to a particular worker, you can simply switch to that worker and click its name:

• On the page of every GPU worker it is now possible to check the CPU temperature:

Besides, you can set up the threshold value of the CPU temperature in order to protect your devices from overheating:

[hiveon]

Hiveon ETC pool has been integrated to Hive’s web interface!

The most important update — Hiveon ETC pool has been integrated to Hive OS’ web interface!
Here’s a video on all the newly implemented features.

You can now check on all essential information right from Hive’s dashboard — No longer needing to switch to the pool’s page.

You’ll always be aware of your pool income and payments. You get access to the following information:

• The last payout (and date thereof);
• The expected daily and weekly payouts;
• Estimated earnings per day/week;
• The total paid balance amount;
• The total unpaid balance (including the % reached to payout);
• A real-time graph of your income.

You’re also able to see the number of active workers here.

You can check the real-time poolside accepted hashrate:

You can also monitor the pool’s valid, stale and invalid shares (per day, week or month):

In case you mine two coins (ETC and ETH), you can switch between them with one click. You can also monitor the hashrate, payouts, energy consumption and number of workers for two coins at the same time:

What else?

Now you can do the following on Hive’s web-interface too:

• Choose what type of messages to remove:

• Change the order of miners when creating / editing a flight sheet. If there are two or more of them, you can do it by ordinary drag-and-drop:

• Change the order of the repositories’ list in the farm’s advanced settings (also by drag-and-drop):

• Select a lot of workers at once — to do this, press down the Shift button down and highlight to select all desired rigs:

And last but not least, you can now use the “pill” for the Nvidia 1080 rev 1 cards too.

Hive OS web-interface update: improved monitoring and new filters

Meet another update of the Hive OS web interface!

Now, right on the dashboard, you can also monitor the memory temperature for the AMD VEGA and NAVI cards. This will help to protect your devices from overheating and downtime, and you — from the loss of profit.

• You can specify the threshold temperature values for memory and core separately. If you leave these fields empty, the default values will be applied after you click the Save button. They are 72℃ for the core and 90℃ for the memory:

• When the specified value is exceeded, the temperature “turns” in the appropriate color so that you immediately notice overheating:

• In the list of rigs (as well as in the list of cards inside the worker), the core and memory temperatures are displayed as a hint:

Apart from this, we added a new filter by miner to which tuning is applied. On the list such a miner will be marked with the color yellow — this will simplify the search process:

Autofan: improvements & new features

The Autofan module has been improved and new features have been added since the latest Linux GPU client updates (0.6-149@200722 and 0.6-150@200729).
New updates to the web interface bring these new options highlighted in red and orange squares below.

• Target MEM TEMP
  This feature is only used by AMD Vega and Navi series cards.
  This rule is triggered if the GPU core temperature doesn’t exceed the set target temperature, in turn not allowing the memory temperature to exceed the set threshold.
  For example; When Navi series GPUs exceed memory temperatures of 104C, they start throttling. With this feature, you’ll be able to keep your cards at optimal temperatures.

• Smart mode
  This mode changes the target temperature depending on the fan speed. If it’s very hot, the coolers don’t work 100% and keep a higher temperature. And vice versa, if it’s cold, the fan speed is a little higher so that there is airflow. The ratio is 1° for every 10% of the fan speed from 50%.

New Hive OS Statistics features

Great news! Hive OS statistics have been upgraded:

We added a graph for error messages and all the necessary filters:

• All (all the messages)
• Info (informational messages)
• File (messages about BIOS downloaded from the card)
• Danger (messages about critical errors)
• Warning (messages with warnings)
• Success (actions performed with no errors).

Now it will be much more convenient for you to work with messages — new tools make it easy to organize them.

• Graphs are now also available in the Detail View mode. Thus, you can always check any messages in more detail. You will also be able to see the time period, when the messages were received:

• A new tool was added — SMA (Simple Moving Average). By launching SMA, you will add one more line to the graph — smoothed, with average values:

• We also added a zoom function — now you can view statistics graphs in great detail. This is especially useful for the Detail View, if the time difference between several messages is very small and they are located close to each other on the graph. Using zoom is very easy — just select an area and then move the slider at the bottom of the screen:

Also, now you can edit or delete the miner tuning directly from the launched flight sheet.

Hive OS Web Interface Update

The web interface of Hive OS became even more convenient:

• New options of setting up the detailed view in the list of workers — select the data for output on your own:

For ASICs, you can configure the following data combinations: chips’ temperature + hashrate, boards’ temperature + hashrate, boards’ temperature + chips’ temperature.

The following combinations are available for GPU rigs: temperature + fan speed, temperature + hashrate, hashrate + fan speed.

You can also turn on coloring of temperature values ​​depending on how much the specified threshold is exceeded. Exceeding the temperature threshold by 1° is indicated in yellow. By 2° — in orange, and by 3° — in red. If you have not turned on coloring, the temperature will be marked in red at the moment the set threshold is reached. For example, if the threshold is 80°, the temperature will turn red already at 80° (and when coloring is on — at 83°).

• Monitor the temperature of the boards and chips of each of your ASICs:

• Set the target temperature not only for chips, but also for boards:

• We added a new Telegram notification option — receive messages when the target board temperature is exceeded:

• We have improved worker filters — now they are divided into sections for greater convenience. The selected filters are displayed when collapsed:

• We also added DNS over HTTPS (DoH) — a protocol for performing DNS resolution over HTTPS. DoH improves user privacy and security by preventing interception and manipulation of DNS data.

Possible values:

• Disabled — DNS server obtained via DHCP or manually specified is used.
• Enabled for Hive — use DoH only for name resolution of Hive servers.
• Enabled globally — used by DoH to resolve all names.

Web interface update of April 13, 2021: new functionality added

We’ve added new functionality with this web interface update:

• GPU Tweakers
• Core Clock Lock support for Nvidia

Please note that in order for these new functionalities work on your rig, you need at least Hive OS GPU client version v0.6-202 or later

GPU Tweakers

We’ve added the “GPU Tweakers” functionality to the OC panel, that’s designed to use special tools for fine-tuning your GPUs. This is a long-awaited feature of our users, especially for AMD Vega GPUs owners, because the first tool that we added to tweakers is AMDMemTweak.

Now you can add memory tweaks for your Vega GPUs in OC settings

We added typical settings to the tooltip and by clicking on it, it will be copied over to your settings

Hovering your mouse over it, enables you to view all GPU Tweakers setting

General overclock view/panel has changed slightly to a new look

We have also re-worked the “REF” function for Polaris GPUs, and it is now also embedded in “GPU Tweakers”.

Core Clock Lock support for Nvidia

The latest Nvidia graphics processors, Turing and Ampere, have a new core frequency locking funciton, allowing you to achieve better results in terms of stability and power consumption compared to controlling the core frequency through frequency offsets.
In fact, blocking the core frequency is setting the absolute value of the frequency

How it’s can be set in Hive OS?

Setting a value above 500 in the Core frequency field means setting the absolute value

Setting a negative value or less than 500 is the same as setting the frequency offset.

Example of applying Core Clock Locking

Thus, you can significantly reduce the power consumption of your rig without losing hashrate

You can try these values for locking Core Clock Frequency

GPU	Range	Users choice
1660s, 2060s, 2070, 2070s	1000 - 1050	1035
