1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v10.0 (Windows/Linux) on: September 25, 2017, 06:51:20 AM
I'm selling my Gtx 1060s because they are not very good at mining. Whether it was the Hynix memory, or the bad components used, I only got  17Mh/s out of each card after OCing without touching the voltage. I cut my fingers twice with the fan blades, and whenever the network difficulty changes some of the cards hashrates drops to 1Mhs. I'm getting 22 Mhs from 570 8Gb and want to know how to increase hashrate other than increasing the memory clock, thanks.

Just get out now while you still can. Those GPU's going to start taking toes.   Shocked

Stop takin a P00P at him Tongue

To the OP : Look up Bios modding, your 580 8GB should be able to get 29mh easy peasy at low overclocks.

His "570 8GB" should hit 29.5 with alt ethash coins or 29 if he is using windows 10+ Claymore 10 + Blockchain drivers. Also dual mining LBR he should get about 65 mh's with LBR or about 730 with DCR
All he has to do is A. Up the memory clock B. Run Polaris 1.64 and click the Memory Timing button to load the specific memory timing for the card. Nice new feature of the Polaris fork" and he is good to go, Also I would put the following in the Start.bat for his 570   -cclock 1175 -mclock 2050 -cvddc 900 mvddc 900 -dcri 20 (with LBR)   -dcri 25 (with Decred)

Where do you put the cvddc settings, at the beginning of the file or the end? And also can you undervolt Nvidia cards too?

It makes no difference where you put it in the command line. As noted in the Claymore README, Nvidia cards don't support undevolting. You can adust the power limit % on Nvidia cards using Afterburner in Windows, which reduces the power consumption target when set at a negative value.

I put this in the Bat file, it seems the voltages have gone down but I didn't see much difference in Gpu-Z for the 570. Maybe it's because I have apply oc settings on Afterburner.

Can anyone comment on the power consumption for the RX580 cards. I have two rigs each has 6 RX580 and both are dual mining ETH+LBC (Eth: 176 Mh/s + LBC: 510 Mh/s). Each rig consumes about 1020 Watts reading from the wall-meter while GPU-Z reads less than 130 Watts for each card. I think they should all be around 6*130 + 70(system) ~ 850 Watts total. My setting (-cclock 1150 + -mclock 2100 -cvddc 870 -mvddc 870)

The power usage shown in GPU-Z is for the card VGA power connectors. You also need to add 40-50W for each riser. 1000-1100 W is about right for a six card RX 580 rig when dual mining.

The risers themselves do NOT use anywhere close to even 40W.  The power load for risers is negligible even with six of them.  It's the GPUs themselves that are using the power.

I don't think the power sensors in GPUs are all that accurate anyway plus they fluctuate so wildly.

I have switched all my RX BIOSes to Anorak's powersave versions.  I lose about 3-5% hash rate but it saves almost that much in power and reduces heat output and wear on the cards.

When I see 6 GPUs consuming over 1000W and then I look at an Antminer that can produce 4x more revenue on 1200W I wonder why I'm even bothering with GPUs...

You are wrong. powered risers use between 40W - 50 W each, which is NOT reported in GPU-Z. This is easy to verify in a dual PSU setup like I have where all the risers are connected to the same PSU as the motherboard and the secondary PSU only powers the tops of the cards.
I can relate to this, I have a 1500W PSU cable and my multimedia PC plugged into the same outlet. The building manager said anything over 2000W from one electrical outlet will trip the breaker. I think sometimes the power consumption spikes, and when I dual mined on my mining rig which has 2 PSUs, the circuit breaker tripped within a minute or so.

Thanks, will try this. I'm using MSI Armor 4Gb and 8Gb version of the 570, and it kept crashing when I synched settings on all cards, so I'll try it with different settings on AB.  I'll take stability over hashrate anyday of the week.

Don't blame machine...you said that you cut your fingers on blades, two times? Wow mate, maybe this is not for you?

Dude, why don't you stick a finger into one of the cards and see what happens? I didn't do it on purpose. The main reason I'm changing the cards is because the hashrate drops to 1, not because I cut my finger etc.
LOL, you shouldn't have mentioned these fingers dude, just made my day.

Yeah, I should turn it off and then handle the cards not the other way around.

Hey guys my first post here!

1) Is it safe to run at this temperature or should I stop it until I get a fix?
2) How can I have claymore display the correct temperatures (is it the anorak bios that is affecting it?)

My r9 290x runs at 91-94 all day long. My rx 460 bios modded at 60-69 and my 1060 3gb at 57-60 when not dual mining (are any coins profitable to dual mine at 30% intensity and easy to save in a wallet/exchange? I tried zpool but my balance is still 0.0 after a full day running it.

You need to install the blockchain drivers and then the temps will show up OR buy/build an hdmi dummy plug and it will report them. If you can open WattMan you can see temps on Claymores however I dont need my dummy plugs anymore after putting the modded bios in and upgrading to v10.

Temps:
GPU0: 82 C (FAN: 62%)
GPU1: 59 C (FAN: 52%)
GPU2: 54 C (FAN: 100%)


Hey man thanks for your feedback seems to have been lost in all the other Vega chat apart from you and Ursul0 Smiley

So I found the problem on the reporting of temperatures and it was due to Claymore V9.7. After updating all that I was getting the reporting numbers ok and my -tt and -ttli etc seem to have started working Smiley

Now I'm running at a steady 25MH ETH and 750 Sia with temperatures of around 65C  for most cards and 40-50% fan with one card running a bit hotter at ~75 and 60-70% fan. Not exactly sure why that is happening but will keep tinkering until I find it... Think it is the second card in and it might be taking heat from first card as well as any heat generated from PSU which is pushed on (will check this by moving PSU away when I have time to run prolonged tests).

So now a few more questions:
1) Should I be happy with 25MH or should I push for 28 on these RX480 Shaphire Nitro+ 4GB(Elpida)? If so how do I do it? I currently have the Anorak Memshift Bios installed (when I had the overclocked Bios it tipped my PSU over 1200 when it tried dual mining). Would I need to go back to standard bios before trying any mods through claymore? What should be starting point and where should I be expected to get to?
2) Does anyone else have problems with their USB Risers? Mine every so often come slightly loose (think USB cable moving it) and it causes a crash. Thinking of putting cable clips on the frame to stop the cable from moving freely between GPU and risers but wondering if actually required.

Thanks


Is that in Fahrenheit? 91 is pretty high for celcius. I think you can cook an egg on there Cheesy

I stopped dual mining on my mining rig, 3 Raisers connected to 1 sata cable seems to be a hazard.

How many of them do you have?
Have you checked HWInfo for memory errors on your cards?
What is your power consumption per card?
What are your overclock / undervolt settings?

Well I only have Hynix ones but those numbers does not sound too bad..
If I would change something I would increase the -dcri parameter in order to reach 900mh on DCR (the sacrifice in ETH actually has a minor stability benefit - less fluctuations- at least for me)

These speeds are with Elpida 4gpus

These speeds are with Hynix 4gpus
https://i.imgur.com/PaUJwjA.png

Windows 7, Robinhood drivers, AB 4.4.0 beta 16, Claymore miner v10.0
My core clocks  are locked at 1300MHz for both rigs and no matter what I put in AB it won't change a thing, so I change it in batch file with -cclock
My -dcri value is 25 I think it's best for me.

Is ETH+LBC dual mining more profitable with a new v10.0 miner?
Thanks


Can someone give me the link for afterburner beta 16 please?


What the heck... is it just me or there are no pages for beta 16 download. I went all the way through my download folder to find a link for AB beta 16 lol
Here you go buddy...when you open it just click on the refresh button and it will start to download.

What do you guys think of the up coming hard fork this month? This one guy on youtube litereally said, mining is dying for Ethereum because the difficulty is going to go up 'exponentially.'
I think he's over his head, because switching to POS that quickly is unrealistic. Seeking opinions on this.

here's a link to the article about the metropolis update https://cointelegraph.com/news/update-on-ethereum-metropolis-from-core-dev-meeting

First will come difficulty bomb and then hard fork. Someone said around 30-40% in total. But yet again we are expecting the price to compensate our much harder work Wink
Those who mined eth earlier will benefit even more. Aaahhh mining is so good Smiley.
I started recently, but I am not complaining Cool

So I guess, people already mining will keep mining even if the difficulity goes up, which diminishes mining profits, hoping that the price would go up in the future.  Cheesy
Lol

ETH is not the only one which could be mined I believe.

I know, but I think you should stick with one, because the network difficulty changes all the time.

I also OC'd gpu, card froze, I rebooted.

Got stuck at mem clock 500 for half an hour, thought i killed it.
I wouldn't go overboard with OCing, I killed mine with high temperature limit and started to get artifacts

I built 6 x Gtx 1060 rig today, and I had friends help me and it's running fine now.
After about 40 minutes MSI Afterburner freezes and GPU1 says it has zero power. But when I refresh my miner status, it keeps updating.

This lag/freeze thing has been happening since I installed windows, and I'm sure it's not the power supply. Any thoughts??
