Title: Help Mining ETH With RX Vega 64 Post by: TheRealSelector on February 05, 2018, 10:02:27 AM So I have been mining ETN (Electroneum, altcoin forked off of Monero) with my RX Vega 64 (4x Units) Rig.
I have decided to switch to Ethereum and mine with Claymore but every time I run the miner, it mines for about 5 minutes and then the system just restarts on it’s own… I am currently using the “Regedit files” mentioned in the reddit post to mine Monero, maybe this is causing an issue ? Please help Thank you Title: Re: Help Mining ETH With RX Vega 64 Post by: Ranger4R on February 05, 2018, 10:45:09 AM well, there is difference in power consumption when VEGA is mining ETN and ETH
when it is mining ETH the power soak is much more, I think in dual mode it is about 250-280W, while on ETN 150-160W so a big difference, are you sure your PowerSupply can handle it? Title: Re: Help Mining ETH With RX Vega 64 Post by: xxcsu on February 05, 2018, 12:12:12 PM Vega 64 from out the box ,without any tune, mining ETH, can draw around 260-280 Watts at the wall ... During dual mining the power draw can go a little bit higher .
If you set the power limit to -30% , you cards power draw at the wall during ETH mining will be around 190 watts , and you are still able to hash around 34MH/s . You can push the power limit lower , let say to -40% , then your cards at the wall going to pull around 160-165 watts , but with -40% power limit you might going to lose a few MH/s hashing speed on ETH . When you are mining ETN , or XMR , your Vega 64 pulling much less power at the wall . Also if you have any tune (power limit , overclocking/unervolting) set for ETN mining , thats probably not going to work stable to mine ETH. So the question is what causing your rig restarts ? - Its can be your psu , if you did not used any software to reduce the power limit on your cards , you should have 1300-1500 watts high quality PSU, if you are lowered the power limit for your cards, then you should be fine with a 1000 - 1200 watts psu. - Maybe You find a stable tune for your cards to mine ETN , and you need a different settings to mine ETH - Im not sure what "Regedit files" you are talking about , would be great if you posting that file so we can see :) , im not using any regedit file and im mining just fine with my VEGA's... If next time you are asking for help , please post your full system spec , that way you might get useful answers , suggestions faster ;) |
