The above command works for multiple cards in a single system too. ![]() Reboot and you should now be able to modify the core clock and memory speeds on your card(s). This creates a new xorg config in /etc/X11/nf, go look if you like! First, we need to enable overclocking of the cards by passing the -cool-bits=28 option along with a few other parameters which let us run the cards and X (the display manager) headlessly. Nvidia tooling on Linux kinda sucks but I've tried my best to take the pain out of it with a few commands. You can find the script I use for overclocking on Github here. Next, we'll install the mining software from the AUR: pacaur -Sy \ A script to install it is available here.įirst, we'll need some packages: pacman -Sy \ Install your AUR helper of choice, I use pacaur. I am assuming at this point you have a booted Arch Linux installation and are either at the console locally (via a screen, keyboard and mouse) or via SSH - either is fine. You will have to adjust package names and possibly compile software from source if using other distros. You can, in theory, use any Linux and apply much of the logic here but YMMV.Ī full installation guide for Arch is here. ![]() It doesn't come with anything installed out the box you absolutely don't need for a bootable system. I am using Arch Linux because it is stripped down to the barebones and has pre-compiled versions of the mining softwares in the AUR. This part of the guide is actually going to be the lightest part even though for some, it is the most daunting. Using some scripts I have automated the monitoring of ccminer which is the software I'm currently using to mine MONA. My rig is currently running 100% headless and is accessible only via SSH remotely. Plus, if you use Linux you get to pull this face at Windows users! Incidentally I get better performance under Linux than Windows too! This guide is (hopefully) going to give you some of the answers to start mining crypto on an Nvidia setup under Linux. Spending time browsing Reddit I get the impression some are completely new to building PCs and even newer to Linux. ![]() I'm really excited about the current influx of new people to building computers for the first time to mine cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and more.
