Title: Compute mode switch?
Post by: twicx on February 27, 2018, 11:45:01 PM
Hey all,

Having a strange situation where half my rig crashes. I'm running two PSUs, and after mining for a while, maybe 8-10 hours, the second PSU just switches off. I've checked wattage at the wall, and it's WAAAAY below the 1000W rating for the PSU. So, in eliminating variables, I've had difficulty with Radeon Settings/Wattman reverting to stock voltages, pushing wattage up higher. So I want to install drivers without settings, but still switch to compute mode.

I have a vague recollection of someone having a clever little piece of software that would do that, without having to re-install stupid Radeon Settings. Anyone know what it is? Google has failed me on this one.

Thanks,

Not sure about what that software is called anymore, but one possible reason why your wattman settings are reverting to stock voltages/values is because your cards are crashing. They reset when they crash and this could be caused by too much overclock or undervolting. Try playing with your OC settings more, you might not need to install additional software.

But I agree with you, Radeon settings is stupid. Poor design.

Try smos.  Simplemining.net

Linux based turns pc into dedicated miner

If you want to do windows power the gear down unplug the usb stick and plug in the boot drive

Reg file will suffice, you can use software - but it's like hammer a nail with microscope. Registry address is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000] 0000 for first gpu, 0001 for second and so on, keyname and value - "KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002. Regfile for 3 gpus (hope you can adapt for you needs):
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0001]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0002]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002

If you can't use reg script for w/e reason - here is link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2815803.0) for software by Paedy.
