Overclocking GPUs on Linux is a bit more involved than Windows, but it is still possible. There are 3 main steps to overclocking your graphics cards: Install and configure X org Reinstall the NVIDIA driver Install a service to automatically overclock the GPUs at startup Install and configure Xorg If you followed our previous guide to install Ubuntu Server LTS for mining Ethereum, then you will not have an X server installed on your system. https://www.ethmining.net/posts/building-an-ethereum-mining-rig-with-ubuntu-and-nvidia/ Sat, 27 Jul 2019 17:55:04 -0500 https://www.ethmining.net/posts/building-an-ethereum-mining-rig-with-ubuntu-and-nvidia/ Overview This guide assumes your are familiar with Ethereum and mining Ether. It will walk you through the entire process of building, assembling and installing an Ethereum mining rig running the Ubuntu Server LTS operating system using NVIDIA graphics cards. There are 3 main steps to the process: Purchasing the hardware Assembling the machine Installing the OS and software Before beginning, it’s worth noting why one might choose to run Ubuntu for the operating system rather than say ethOS or Windows. https://www.ethmining.net/tools/calculator/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.ethmining.net/tools/calculator/ Ethereum Mining Calculator Use this mining calculator to figure out your profitability for your mining rig(s).
