So I have 2 R9 290x in my main rig, I use it for many things and I HAD a 750w psu powering both, it would bluescreen when attempting to mine neoscrypt with Sgminer. So I decided to change it with an 850w psu I had and I am having the same damn issue, so what is the wattage to mine 2 r9 290x? I have some higher watt psu around I could switch it with, I just am not sure what I need to run it.
It's probably not the psu, however, i'm not sure what kind of psu it is.? I also have 2 x 290x's running on a 850Watt PSU, mining 24/7 with no issues at all. It's a Corsair 850RM version. Knowing that a 290X can pull 350Watt at full load, multiply that by 2, it gives me 700Watt, so 150Watt for my mobo/cpu. it's close, but it does the trick just fine. Check if your PSU is certified as 80Plus Gold, anything under that value will result in most likely failures and will also most likely not hold a constant power draw of that amount. I have a feeling you're blue screening because you're setting your config settings to high. Try with low settings first. It won't give you a blue screen then. If it does, check for other hardware issues (RAM...) Greetings |

I think it's time to make a sgminer (sp-mod). Open source.
For the last 9 months I have been sucessfully increasing the hashrate in all hashing algorithms for the NVIDIA GPU's. Time to move on to the AMD's.
Wolf0 a private quark kernel that does 18MHASH@quark on the 290x, and the opensource version is only doing 2.5MHASH.
I think I can push the opensource quark to 10MHASH pretty easy.
Who wants to donate some beers?
A nice initiatif from you sp_ but the "optimized Windows" version is also in a way opensource and faster then 10Mhash. Everyone is using it. A few, die hard *nix fans aren't. Anyhow, nice of you to want to get involved. |

thx wolfy for clearing things like always  its ironic that my 290 are doing aprox 3mhs for quark, while my 280x and 270 goes wohoo i cant run any of the miners and get any decent quark hashrates due to the lack of linux support ... even to buy one seems a little too much to ask these days - which is sad ... edit - apart from the nvidia ones that is ...  ... #crysx i just switched from lin to windows because these things... why u hate win so much? firstly - the cost ... secondly - the reliability ... thirdly - the maintenance involved in keeping the os 'stable' ... i used to do this for a living - infrastructure and networks including soe rollouts and server install and maintenance ... what a pain ... some of the linux servers that were installed and run - are STILL running stable and solid ( mainly rhel based systems ) to this day - and we are talking years now ( no lie ) ... admittedly - they are of the type of servers that do one or two things - and do it VERY well ... just solid systems ... as for mining - with the infrastructure we have here - windows is too much cost and maintenance and way too 'flaky' in terms of stability to not have linux here ... its just the limited support - and interest ... it does get to me sometimes ... we can put together a farm ( not just one machine ) to mine - and will continue to do so ... i have yet to see a windows system do that - let alone be as stable running all the things we do in this network - then throw the farm on top of that ... some of our servers have been running in excess of a year - bar the power outages ( which linux servers recover VERY well from ) ... ive done windows ... more to the point - windows has done me ... over and over and over again ... each os has its pros and cons ... but with linux - its just do it once - do it right ... unfortunately - like i stated earlier - its the limited support and limited interest in such a profound os like linux ... especially redhat enterprise linux based systems ( rhel ) ... ok - said enough i think  ... #crysx Can't agree more.. Also still on X11 over here, not interested in changing to windows.. We'll see how long this all lasts.. |

This one is 12.. check those hash rates.. 500-600MH per machine..
Several machines on 1 worker? Or asic? Probably the first one.... |
|
|
|
Yeah i know, i saw that one too, those were like 200 machines. This one is 12.. check those hash rates.. 500-600MH per machine.. |

Congratulations, now lets all sit back, relax and watch that value sink like my grandfather's first boat.
Funny how from the moment i posted that, the value has dropped significantly. Who could have guessed? :p just curious as to whether there are the linux binaries floating around anywhere and if anyone knew where to download them? ... edit - i meant for quark / qubit ... ... #crysx There aren't any, and even if there were, you wouldn't be able to run them without a modded miner. |

Anybody can send me the link to quark miner please?
That is, New sgminer 5.1.1__20.05.15 With Optimized Quark and Qubit Binary Kernels. However, working on Pitcairn and Thahiti, otherwise it outputs [13:26:37] Error -46: Creating ExtraKernel #0 from program. (clCreateKernel)
[13:26:37] Failed to init GPU thread 0, disabling device 0

have win 8.1 x64, sappire radeon r9 290x tri-x oc 8gb, 14.7 rc3 drivers and i get only ~5MH/s and lots of rejects  , is that normal hashrate? "url": "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3345", "failover-only": true, "algorithm": "quarkcoin", "device": "0", "worksize": "1024", "xintensity": "4096", "temp-cutoff": "90", "temp-overheat": "85", "gpu-engine": "1080", "gpu-memclock": "1450", "gpu-threads": "2", "gpu-powertune": "20", "temp-target": "75", "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": "0", "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", "watchpool-refresh": "30" Thanks! Worksize 1024? Try 256..... Gpu memclock, also a very weird number.. Try 1250 or 1500 Also put gpu threads at 1 for a 290(x).. All by all, 5Mh isn't bad at all.. |

Can anybody help me please. I am using sgminer 5.1.1 and I get this error. Tried with my Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X and also Sapphire 280x.

Anybody can help me please? I will have few of my mining rig mine for you as a donation depending on the speed increase I get as compare to the one provided by nicehash.
You get that when using a modded compiled .exe version of sgminer with an original .cl(kernel) file. Use a working version, don't try to use something that doesn't work.. |

Can i have the last quark qbit miner that everyone seems to have now?
Not everyone has it. Only those who were quick enough it seems. And as it also seems, those who have it, shield themselves with shit like "only the author can share it", sure, that's why you all have it :p If only the author would have a modded version that would be a different story.. But no worries, someone will leak it eventually. But by then the advantage would be gone and it's pointless. These days i just leave my miners on at X11, i earn whatever it generates. I don't care anymore. Good days are over anyway and the fun is out of it. Plus that this is a scene full of greedy people (there are exceptions yes, but they're rare), those who have the skills to earn more by writing modded versions, tweaking those kernels or whatever, they deserve it. And i definitely don't blame them if they don't share. Why would they? It's for some even to much to say thank you... You must be forgot the story about How mr. Eliovp sold Wolf's bins, and when one of his "customer" tried to resell it, mr. Eliovp leaked it out to the community to prevent his "customer" from opportunity to earn some too.  Great story indeed :-) A few things, why are you posting under a new account? Do you have something to hide? Why am i still posting under my account? If your great story was true, wouldn't i just make a new account? Something a guilty person would do. Or is it because stories are just stories? Anyhow, this has totally nothing to do with this thread/conversation. If you have a problem with me, pm me or join #pimp channel and pm me there. |

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to mining, and since I don't have the resources to build a giant mining farm, I created a simple VM through google. Currently, it's mining XMG (Magi) as that's the first alt community I fell into upon registering here. Now I come to you for help: what coin(s), if any, could I set up to mine with CPU power? Any VPS hosts that provide better processing power than google (I'm only using their free trial). I'm not looking to get rich quick, Don't worry, you won't  Give the guy a break.. :p You can.. maybe.. if you're lucky.. Very lucky.. Nahh.. |

The new 14.6 is best for 290(x)
14.9, 64bit is doing a little better over here |
|
|
|
How much does a ATI 290 (noX) with the newest SGminer and .bin files make on: X11 ~ 8000 kh/s X13 ~ ? ? ? kh/s X15 ~ ? ? ? kh/s Quark ~ ? ? ? kh/s Thank you Got some asus 290's here X11: 8300 X13: 5800 X15: haven't tested in a while but i believe 4500-4800.. Greetings.. |

Hello. I use a miner SGminer 5.1.1 He is set to multialgo Nice. But when digging neoscript I get ONLY HW errors. Here is my batch file
"name" : "NiceHash_NeoScrypt_multi",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4341",
"user" : "18NPPbxyJMCqHaBbmbiuiSiqbjtjwNv7qQ",
"pass" : "f0=0;f2=0;f3=8.5;f4=6.2;f5=0;f6=0;f7=0;f8=0.35;f9=0;f10=155;f11=6.5",
"algorithm" : "neoscrypt",
"worksize" : "64",
"intensity" : "13",
, please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Help pleas...
Try this..... "name" : "NiceHash_NeoScrypt_multi", "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4341", "user" : "18NPPbxyJMCqHaBbmbiuiSiqbjtjwNv7qQ", "pass" : "f0=0;f2=0;f3=8.5;f4=6.2;f5=0;f6=0;f7=0;f8=0.35;f9=0;f10=155;f11=6.5", "algorithm" : "neoscrypt", "thread-concurrency" : "8192", "worksize" : "64", "xintensity" : "3", I use 14.6 drivers and 0 problems. yeah could be that 14.6 is okay, 14.9 and 14.12 are giving HW errors over here though |

Drivers.. i believe (correct me if i'm wrong), everything higher then 14.* will give you hardware errors.. but i could be wrong here.. |
|
|

just noticed that drivers make a huge difference here! On stock kernel i got around 5.1Mh max on a 290 with 14.12 drivers. i downgraded those to 14.9 and with the same settings i get up to 6.4Mh on stock kernel! setting my xintensity at 4096. Hope this helps others out there |

however with the Darkcoin-mod tricks applied it gets me to that same point wich tricks u mean ? i am interrested. Like i said, the darkcoin-mod tricks :p There use to be a standard darkcoin.cl kernel, with some tricks applied it became darkcoin-mod.cl That is what i'm talking about |
