You could try adding additional fans to your system to lower the load on the GPU funs, then they could run at slower speeds. You should just make sure your VRM temperatures are in check too - some GPUs have sensors for the VRMs and their temperatures will show up in GPU-z. I'd try and keep VRM temps below 80C.
You could also try downvolting your card - that way it would take less power, and the fans could run slower too.
How about Watercooling my GPU? |

Hello,
If I am mining with my GPU 24/7 (R9 280x), at a pretty much constant temp of 65C, and have my fans running around 2000-2500 RPM will it decrease the lifespan of my GPU? How long till it might stop working?
Would water cooling it help my GPU "live longer" by keeping it at low temperatures?
How long has your GPU been running 24/7?
Thank you.
If you keep your GPU at 65C, it shouldn't shorten it's lifetime at all. However, it might decrease the life of the fans on the GPU. I used to run a 7850 24/7 and after a year or so one of the fans began to rattle. You might want to keep that in mind. So the only thing that is in danger is the GPU fans correct? Do you have any tips to keep the GPU at lower temps, so the fans doesn't have to turn so fast but keep the hashrates as high? I set my Max allocated GPU to 60% should it be lower? Right now 60% or 100% gives me the same hashrates. |

Hello,
Are there any coins that do not have any ASIC miners, and that therefore can be mined by a regular GPU and still get a decent amount of that coin and maybe a bit of money?
Also, let me know what you mean with your GPU.
Thank you very much.

Try dialing back xintensity to 32, see what happens.
Nothing changes... Still showing the same... I am out of ideas. That difficulty seems kind of high, but is should not be the cause of the hw errors. For reference my cards running with difficulty at .008. Anything much higher, I start getting excessive stales. Would you mind uploading your folder with all the cgminer files so that I can directly run what you have? Might work, whoknows. |

This is my config for sgminer v5 {

}
],

}

}
But when I run sgminer.com this is what I get:  Continuously showing Stratum connection to Verters interrupted. Verters difficulty changed to 0.100 And on verters pool it shows as if the workers aren't active. Would anyone know how to help me. |

Can I use anything other than Sgminer for mining Lyra2RE with AMD GPU?
Maybe that might fix my errors...
Sgminer is the only available miner for AMD and Lyra2RE. Please try the config posted by the user above and send us another screenshot so we can help you further. Using his config and replacing the Pool address, username & password to my own: {
"pools" : [
{
"name" : "Verters",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool.verters.com:4444",
"user" : "PabiGamito.user",
"pass" : "password",
"priority" : "0",
"no-extranonce" : true,
"profile": "Lyra2RE"
}
],
"profiles" : [
{
"name" : "Lyra2RE",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"algorithm" : "Lyra2RE"
}
],

jamesl22Try this config, it works fine on PowerColor AX7970 with 950kH/s: --kernel Lyra2RE --no-extranonce --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-fan 75-100 --temp-target 75 --temp-overheat 85 -I18 -w 128 -g 2 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune 20 -o stratum+tcp://pool.verters.com:4444 As it was mentioned by TheCoinFinder, you get a lot of HW errors, so, it looks like you have wrong conf of core/mem frequencies. Also, try to lower the worksize to 128. Still getting the same error. I think it is something else though, and not the config or bat file. Is everyone else able to mine using pool.verts.com with Lyra2RE? |

Here is a setup from Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/2rd3xb/please_post_your_amd_sgminer_config_andor_batch/[–]The-Qua 1 point 10 hours ago
"failover-only": true, "algorithm": "Lyra2RE", "device": "all", "thread-concurrency": "8192", "intensity": "18", "worksize": "256", "gpu-engine": "1055", "gpu-memclock": "1500", "gpu-threads": "4", "gpu-fan": "100,100,100", "temp-cutoff": "75,75,75", "temp-overheat": "65,65,65", "temp-target": "55,55,55", "gpu-memdiff": "0,0,0", "shares": "0", "kernel-path": "/usr/local/bin", "api-mcast-port": "4028", "api-port": "4028", "expiry": "28", "failover-switch-delay": "60", "gpu-dyninterval": "7", "gpu-platform": "-1", "hamsi-expand-big": "4", "keccak-unroll": "0", "log": "5", "no-pool-disable": true, "no-client-reconnect": true, "queue": "1", "scan-time": "7", "tcp-keepalive": "30", "temp-hysteresis": "3"
~915Kh/s WU: ~1.620/m V: 1.087V R9 280X (ASUS)Looks like R9 280X should work with this? With this config, it simply launches and closes. This is what happened when I inputed everything manually:  EDIT: Nvm, what is was was that the config had a couple of values three times, however I am still getting the same thing. This time three times instead of two. EDIT AGAIN: This is what I found: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/issues/223 the issue has already been reported and apparently it is normal, however I do not quiet understand. Would anyone mind helping me out? SHould I just try waiting? Also it makes my computer laggy. How can I still mine but reduce computer lag for regular tasks?Thank you. |

Try putting no-extranonce in the pools list, like this
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool.verters.com:4444",
"no-extranonce" : true,
"user" : "xxxx",
"pass" : "xxxx"
}
]
Also how long are you waiting - sometimes it can take around 2 mins.
Still not... It shows as if I am getting 11 Mh/s at points. Could that have anything to do? Because I my GPU (R9 280x) can by no means hit hash rates that high. |

delete this "diff" : "128",
Didn't work. Still getting the same thing. Any other idea? |

I need help. This is my config: { "pools" : [ { "url" : "stratum+tcp://pool.verters.com:4444", "user" : "xxxx", "pass" : "xxxx" } ] , "intensity" : "13", "worksize" : "256", "diff" : "128", "kernel" : "Lyra2RE", "algorithm" : "Lyra2RE", "difficulty-multiplier" : "2", "lookup-gap" : "2", "gpu-threads" : "2", "thread-concurrency" : "8192", "gpu-engine" : "1020", "gpu-memclock" : "1500", "gpu-powertune" : "0", "temp-cutoff" : "95", "temp-overheat" : "85", "temp-target" : "62", "auto-fan" : true, "api-mcast-port" : "4028", "api-port" : "4028", "expiry" : "30", "gpu-dyninterval" : "7", "log" : "20", "no-pool-disable" : true, "queue" : "1", "gpu-platform" : "0", "scan-time" : "30", "temp-hysteresis" : "3", "shares" : "0", "kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin", "verbose" : "true", "no-extranonce" : true } And when I launch sgminer.exe this is what I get. It connects to the pool but doesn't mine...  Would anyone be able to help me? I would greatly appreciate it. |

Great, glad to hear it works now.
Let me know if you have any improvement suggestions!
Zack.
I have a suggestion that I think a few of us would like. Do you think you good add a feature in the settings that will allow use to chose the maximum value of GHS/BTC we are "ready" to trade for. Say I don't want to trade for over 0.00675 GHS/BTC, do you think you could make it so it will wait until the value of GHS/BTC is lower or equal to 0.00675 GHS/BTC. I would be awesome if you could implement this feature to your wonderful program. Thank you. EDITED: Or is that was the Maximum and Minimum in the settings tab do? RE-EDITED: Never mind, that is what it does. Sorry for ask then.  |

Hello,
I am looking for the best dogecoin or litecoin profit calculator that takes into consideration every or almost every factor.
Please let me know of any you know that you like.
Thank you.

Hello, I would just like to know what you think about cryptory? If you have used it? What did you think about it. Are the returns they give us on the front page true? And if you don't recommend cryptory, let me know why. And what other cloud mining service would you recommend. Thank you. I don't know if it is legit, but the result of the return calculator looks strange (looks like it never considers difficulty adjustment). Also, the hashrate there is expensive (~0.0186 btc per GH/s). Where do you suggest I get cloud mining from? Or do you think I simply shouldn't, and I should get my own rig? |

Yes, it does show my 0.00044 BTC now... It seem like it just hadn't updated...
How much did it take them to update your Bitcoins balance? I am not sure... A bit more than I thought... I guess it took about 30 minutes. |

Hello,
I would like to know what you guys think is the best ASIC miner to invest. Please let me know what you think about it? If you have it? And if so has has it been working out for you...
Thank you.
