Title: Radeon 7990 hardware errors
Post by: dzzima on February 08, 2014, 08:15:31 PM
I have 2x7990 in a rig. One core throws approximately one hw error per hour. Is it a problem and what can be a reason? Here is my cgminer screenshot http://prntscr.com/2qpk0l

What is your intensity and thread concurrency?

I use the following arguments:  -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-powertune 10.

Have you tried a different powertune? like 20


I never get HW errors with 7970 because I never set my powertune... in any case tried 20 or leave the powertune alone, meaning delete the --gpu-powertune all together.


7990 is basically 2x 7970 so tried out  powertune 20 or leave powertune out of the argument.

I'm having the exact same issue on one core, it's throwing HW errors... the other 3 cards are fine.


Config;

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
color 02
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://fr.dgc.theblocksfactory.com:3338 -u abc -p x -I 13 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 --gpu-fan 100

I've set the voltage on the cards to 1150, even at stock, it throws HW error.

Just reduce the core frequency for a few MHz. You can also reduce the core voltage to around 1.05V.
