I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for the quick reply.
Glad to see your card works with Windows, because my card was desperately failed with i’s 470.05 so I ended up with Hive to mine ergo before the accident. Yes it requires so much attention at first. But after found the right settings, the only attention is to check wether it is rebooted or not. If it so, then it still running with 25 mhs and just reinitiate that ritual to get back to 49 mhs. It it’s not, then Gminer running all the time without problems for days/weeks. Maybe it’s a win-win, at least for my rig.
I’ve copied the flight sheet exactly as you have it (changed the devices). I can get the 3060 to mine ERG, but the fan does not indicate 0.
Hello Adamram,
This is great if we can replicate it on others rig. I’d tried the same but no luck for me. Trying to understand where is the difference.
Can you give some more details?
- How many times do you need to change Flight Sheets until works? Or it always at first time?
- Did you try newer drivers?
- Do you have a dummy o monitor plugged in the 3060? What happens if you remove it?
- Is it with riser? or connected to the 16x pcie slot?
Thank you in advance!
Hello rickc,
Can you give us some more details?
- Driver version
- Which 3060 do you have? vbios?
- Do you have with riser? Or 16x pcie?
- Miners for CFX and EHT?
Thanks!
Oke, on my rig, here’s the steps:
-
Boot with 2 miners (3060 for autolykos, others for ethash), you can apply this before or right before Hive start mining.
-
Wait about 1-5 minutes until 3060’s fan indicator drop to 0%, this maybe caused by the OS/driver lost connection to the fan sensor. But seems it also make the hashrate limiter won’t work, so I believe the limiter is initiated by the driver.
-
After 0%, then I change flight sheet to which only 1 miner (Gminer in my case) and the 2 working miners are stopped and Hive started Gminer. Most of the time, 3060 started to mine ethash at 49,44 MH/s and the rest also at their hashrate.
-
Sometimes 3060 won’t mine because Gminer said it doesn’t connect to GPU0 (3060), so if this happened I just back to the flight sheet with 2 miners again until it started to mine. Without waiting until 0% (because it’s already at 0%), I back to 1 miner flightsheet again. It always started to mine at full hashrate. This second tries is always works, never have to try more than twice.
I use previous driver that I forgot which version, and this 455.45.01 is the newest AFAIK. But, this glitch seems works with previous or newer one.
My 3060 don’t use dummy nor plugged in to monitor. My monitor connected to onboard’s HD Graphics 510.
Yes, it is on a common 1x riser, even the 16x slot is v2, not v3. For now, the riser connected to PEG 16x slot (my last empty slot) lol. I can’t plug 3060 directly to mobo because it eats other 1x space, so I have to use a riser. Maybe next time I will try to exchange USB3 coming from that PEG slot with others coming from “real” 1x slot, just to make sure it works on any 1x slot.
Thank you adamram for you detailed answer.
I do the same but I can’t see the fan indicator at 0%. Not sure if this is the reason why. I will keep trying to see if works.
I know it’s a lot to ask, but if you could record a video with this would be awesome for the community. A lot of 3060s out there waiting for this to work XD
Regards,
Update:
I got the fan to bug out to 0% fan speed consistently now. I THINK my issue was having an HDMI dummy plugged in. I’d suggest try to remove HDMI dummy plug and try it.
I got the 3060 to mine ETH at 50mh/s ONCE after the 0%fan speed bug. However, it was not stable and would have a damaged DAG and the miner will restart. at the same time, I cannot change the OC for the card.
Ever since then, I can consistently 0%fan, but cannot get the card to mine ETH at 50Mh/s after. it always drops down to the 20s.
I am not sure what i am doing differently after the 0% fan bug. Adamram, if you can enlighten me, that’ll be awesome.
I will also do more testing and update everyone here =D
Cheers,

I can’t seem to constantly get my card to error out to 0% fan. Sometimes it does, other times, it does not.
As for your card being unstable, I would try mining with the limited hashrate, and pre-set your overlcock BEFORE it kicks in.
From what I’m doing, it seems the limiter will always limits any coins once it hashing ethash. If I first boot with 3060 mining ethash, the limiter surely will kick in. In this condition, even I switch Flight Sheet to mine ergo, it will only hashing on half rate. So I always make sure before the fan (and also core+mem) dropped to 0, it should on full hashrate state with autolykos/octopus mining. A reboot needed to refresh the hashrate to full. After that I can safely switch flightsheet to mine ETH.
Restart methods are different between miner apps. Phoenix usually reboots, so it will breaks the glitch. T-Rex got a higher hashrate (49,6 MH/s) but sometimes freeze. I use Gminer because it more stable and when it lost connection to 3060, it restart and reconnect instantly and shares table will back to 0. Don’t worry because it just a counter from miner, just check pool dashboard to check real counter.
In my rig, if it’s already at halved hashrate state, then it will never back to full hashrate even I set overclock or flightsheet. I had to make sure overclock settings are at desired point, then I reboot to start ergo mining. Then wait for 0% to switch flightsheet.
One another critical point:
Maybe the glitch connected to memory clock settings. If it set 2200, it never dropped to 0 while mining ergo. I set it maxxed out to 2600 and it dropped quickly. A bit logic because ethash stressing on memory.
First of all, adamram, thank you for your input in all this so far =)
Here’s what happens.
- I reboot the rig with a flight sheet with ERGO (3060) and the rest of the gpu on ETH
- 3060 will get around 120mh/s on ERGO. the fan will drop to 0% in a few minutes (MINER UPTIME @ 4m50s)
- i then flight sheet to ETH for all cards.
However, after the change in flightsheet, the 3060’s hashrate on ETH gets halved to around 25mh/s
Driver 455.45.01
HIVEOS: 0.6-203@210426
No HDMI dummy plugs.
Video out is from MOBO
Moved 3060 to GPU#0
Autofan: ON
GMiner v 2.53
NBminer v 37.2
Any information would be helpful.
Cheers,
I was trying to test this with 1060 3gb mining etc and 3060 ergo and manage to bug the 1060 mining eth (after changing the flight sheet to eth) at 20mh…
I spent a couple hours testing & have tried many different configurations to enable this glitch without any luck. I haven’t been able to get the fan to drop to 0 no matter what I try. A fresh reboot was done between every test. Here are all of my different tests / variables.
All tests were done with this card:
Card: GeForce RTX 3060 12053 MB · EVGA
Memory: Samsung GDDR6
Bios: 94.06.14.40.45
All tests were done with this flightsheet, which enables nanopool / ERGO mining on the 3060. (I don’t know if anyone can do anything with my wallet addresses, so I blacked them out):
All tests were done repeatedly with the following variables:
Card plugged directly into 16x PCIe slot
Card plugged into 16x to 1x powered riser
Card connected to monitor
Card disconnected from monitor
OC: Fan 85 Core -260 Memory 2600 PL 110
OC: Fan 0 Core -260 Memory 2600 PL 110
Driver / HiveOS Version Tests:
Test 1
HiveOS Version: 0.6-203@210503
NVidia Driver: 460.73.01
Test 2:
HiveOS Version: 0.6-203@210503
NVidia Driver: 455.45.01
Test 3:
HiveOS Version: 0.6-202@210401
NVidia Driver: 455.45.01
Test 4:
HiveOS Version: 0.6-202@210401
NVidia Driver: 460.73.01
Hopefully we can somehow find the magic trick that unlocks these cards’ full potential in HiveOS. I have 2 of them running at about 26mhs right now.
adamram,
You’ve been extremely helpful in providing tons of information so far. Would you mind answering another question?
What type of riser card are you using for your 3060? Could provide a make/model and maybe even a screenshot from your order and/or a pic of the board? It may help in tracking down the solution for exploiting this bug.
Thanks!
The riser which 3060 using is a 16x v2.0 (not 3.0) and just a random ordinary riser bought from an online shop. I’m not making it in order, just plugged in to last remaining PEG slot (yellow one). And you see that randomly put GPU’s… 2x5600, 3060, 1660s, 2x5600… Not so cool and untidy. 
Hive OS read the order as my screenshot on previous post.
Thank you so much for the reply adamram. I’m dying to get this glitch working on my rig too!
Edit:
By the way, your rig looks great to me!
Hey joejoe!
I want to see your 3060 rig running with lolminer 1.29 now 
We are getting close to the 50mhs!

Lorenz, thank you so much for the tip! I saw your post & couldn’t wait to try.
I upgraded HiveOS, switched over to lolminer 1.29 & installed the 460.39 driver. I saw an immediate improvement on 1 of my 2 3060s. For some reason, the second 3060 doesn’t seem to start hashing while using lolminer 1.29. I tried swapping risers & connecting an HDMI dummy plug with no luck.
Anyways, I’ve currently got lolminer 1.29 running on my first 3060 with great results! I’m using gminer on the other 3 cards.
I’ll probably try troubleshooting more tomorrow.
