--scrypt -g1 -w 512 -I 19 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-fan auto --temp-target 80 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95 --lookup-gap2 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20 and of course don't forget to start your .bat with: del scrypt*.bin setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 Title: Re: need help with cgminer settings for R9 290 Post by: Paaskeharen on April 24, 2014, 02:58:29 AM found out, i have the refence fan installed, just played a game and its still runnig hot, like 85c :/
in idle its 60-62 :/ Quote del scrypt*.bin running this, but the auto fan, is really bad, havent seen it go above 38% and i had to quit the mining after it reached 92 degrees, but iam using 51% fan cooling and getting 810 out of itsetx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 --scrypt -g1 -w 512 -I 19 --gpu-fan auto --temp-target 80 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95 --lookup-gap2 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20 this "--thread-concurrency 32765" did not help, it cut the kh/s in half and was running 400-450. Title: Re: need help with cgminer settings for R9 290 Post by: mannyg on May 16, 2014, 05:35:47 PM Try these settings... whenever my card pushed past 85c, the settings below would bring it down to 81-83c right away. Be advised, this card runs very hot and needs good ventilation
--scrypt -g 1 -w 256 -I 20 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-fan auto --temp-target 80 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 940 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20 These settings get me a stable 835KH/s |
