Intro:
I’m super new to mining. This is my first rig.
Issue:
When I plug in more than one NVIDIA card my system will post but won’t boot into hiveos any longer. Screen just stays black (if I plug in spare GPU used only for display) but the rig will stay lit and running (fans, LEDs on). If I go to hiveos GUI it shows the rig offline.
check it by itself and make sure it works as is, could be a motherboard setting or could be a power cable/faulty card. also make sure to use locked core clocks on the 3080 too like you have on the 2060.
Not sure if it helps, but I had major issues running LHR cards on a wrong driver. I had 2 different LHR cards and I couldn’t get the 2 of them working at the same time, but something in the driver software locked out one of the cards.
I resolved this by updating to compatible drivers, newer if I recall correct, and that solved it. It costed me a few mh/s but I figured it was better than not having the cards run at all.
Ultimately I had all 7 cards running on the rig, so it did work out.
From hive shell, -nvidia-driver-update 495.44
Which I think is actually the latest driver, but hive removed it because some (I think) 3070 gpus had issues. In my case the 470 driver knocked the hashrate on my evga 3080 ti XC3 down to 73mh (now running 81-83). But had no effect on my evga 3080 ti FTW3, or my 1660,3060s,3060ti, or 3070tis. But all are now on 495.44.
btw, I’m using 10 year old msi z97 motherboards and 1 to 4 splitters. And I’m a 2 month old noob, so grain of salt with anything I say…
