Title: Hello. Post by: bazzip on May 11, 2013, 12:10:53 AM Im new to this forum but bought my first rig. I have 3 7950s and am running cgminer 3.1 but I cant get the ssettings to work that are posted for my rig. Im getting good hash rates but my hardware errors are high. Im hoping to find a solution here. Thanks!

Many people have this difficulty. I have tried to help several of them but without much luck. I initially also had this problem myself and managed to fix it. Unfortunately I am not sure what actually fixed it. One thing I would suggest is to find someone with a known good .bat (or .sh for linux/mac) file with very conservative settings and slowly tweak the settings to be closer to the posted settings. One major thing people often overlook is setting this for windows: setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 Or this in linux/mac: export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 Add that to the beginning of a .bat file (or .sh file) with the cgminer command line in it too (at the end). What this does is allow your driver or whatever to use 100% of your video card's resources. Otherwise it will reserve some for other programs like windows. You will experience lag on your desktop while mining. At least that's what I think this setting does anyway, I don't know for certain. But there's many other things that could be wrong. More than likely your settings are too aggressive and you need to back them off. Intensity is a major cause of this. Try 12 or 13 at first and slowly increase until you start getting hardware errors, then back off. Anyway, I hope this helps. Title: Re: Hello.

You're in time to sell. ASIC onslaught incoming. Title: Re: Hello. Post by: Kazah on May 11, 2013, 02:38:34 PM Hi there :)
Title: Re: Hello. Post by: dsm on May 11, 2013, 02:48:09 PM Welcome!
FWIW, whenever I've seen hardware errors in cgminer it's been the result of the card overheating. Dial back the speed (and voltage) until the card is stable. Keep in mind that higher voltage means that the card consumes more power and that means more heat, but you need higher voltages for stable performance with higher frequency settings. Tweaking it is kind of an art form. Also, you should set the power setting to +20%. I don't know of any reason not to have that maxed. Oh, and if you have an open rig, you might just point a large box fan at it to blow away all the heat. Title: Re: Hello. Post by: BitcoinBoss on May 11, 2013, 02:49:44 PM welcome to the forum :)

Title: Re: Hello. Post by: TrollByFire on May 11, 2013, 04:34:10 PM The two main reasons I've seen HW errors accumulate are either having thread-concurrency set too low and driver issues. With my 6990 I had to downgrade to older drivers / APP SDK because every hash was failing.

I have been waiting for a very reputable website to pay me a small amount owed in Bitcoin. However, this website doesn't have any way of contacting them, except through this ridiculous forum. So now, I have to register here, wait until I'm not a newbie anymore, then post a message in their specific thread requesting my money. This is A+, first-class, premium customer service, if you ask me. Anyway, I wish everyone a nice day, except the fucker that decided I had to be a newbie and not post where I need to... And the piece of shit that uses this sorry-assed forum as their customer service center... Both which conspire together to make sure my money is lost and gone forever... Fuck you, Fuckers!
