Title: Started using risers, now problems
Post by: gt_addict on July 07, 2017, 09:21:50 PM
So ive started to use risers in anticipation of my order of two more Asus 1060 O6G cards getting back into stock and now ive run into more problems than i previoisly had. The setup is as follow:-

Asrock Z270 Pro4 Mobo
Corsair Vegeance DDR4 Ram (2x4Gb)
Intel i3 7300T
2x ASUS GTX1060-06G
1200w HP Server PSU running a 160w pico Psu.

4G decodin enabled and pcie settings are "auto".

Each riser has a 6pin connection direct to psu breakout board (sidehack/gekkoscience).
Each GPU has a 6pin connection direct to psu breakout board.

NO adaptors or Y cables have been used.

Basically i seem to be getting more of the error in Claymore that says "gpuminer cu_kd failed 4". Got it a few times when the two GPUS were direct to the mobo but mow on risers it seems to happen more and restarts. Has anyone had any experience with this?

P.S. when its working its obviously working as it should and getting the hashrate it should aswell.

I goggled it and found this : not sure if it will help you .  


"Ethminer works just fine as well as Claymore's v1.2. I just set a single 16GB pagefile and tried launching v4.1 and it returned the following error: GPU 0, OpenCL error -4 - cannot create DAG.

@Claymore"

"v3.3 takes may be 10-20 more GPU memory, that's the only difference between previous versions. You even did not mention what cards are used, how much RAM etc.

I'm clueless as to why all versions excluding v1.2 fail to create a big buffer despite the fact that they were previously working prior to updating to v3.3. I did mention that the rig in question is seated with a Hawaii-based GPU, more precisely a reference Sapphire 290x operating on Windows 7 x64, Intel Pentium D w/ 2 x 2GB RAM although only 3.25 GB are usable. I can send you my log along with any other information deem it necessary.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Why only 3.25GB are usable?

3.25 only because of WIN 7

That is true only to Windows 7 32-bit but as I'm using the 64 bit-one, I'm almost certain it's due to my motherboard's chipset."
