Rtx 2080 & rtx 3060 lhr

I installed HIVEOS on an old Dell Optiplex while I wait for a dedicated mining motherboard to show up in the post…
I have an RTX 2080, RTX 3060 LHR, both are connected with VER009S gpu risers.
When I open the hiveos dashboard I see either just the RTX 3060 is detected, but isn’t able to mine or none of the gpus are detected.

What do you all suggest to fix this?

  • KS

verify one works at a time, and go from there. make sure all pcie ports are working and bios settings are correct

1. EVGA RTX 2080 is plugged in, detected, and mining ETH.


Roughly 42.22 MH/s. Normal hashrate

After a reboot


Roughly 42 MH/s Normal hashrate

2. PNY RTX 3060 is plugged in. SOMETIMES detected and mining ETH

After Shutdown & Bootup.
Detected by HiveOS and mines at the normal hash rate: ~29 MH/s - 30 MH/s

After a reboot Detected by HiveOS and mines at the normal rate: ~28.5 MH/s - 31 MH/s

Weird GA106 error ? Doesn’t mine but is detected returns a nvtool error.

3. BOTH EVGA RTX 2080 & PNY RTX 3060 LHR is plugged in.

NOT DETECTING any gpu & NOT MINING

After Shutdown and Boot up NOT MINING

After changing the pcie slot that my 1x4 16x splitter riser & a reboot

nvtool exited with error code 12
