Hi all,
I got a strange problem and am not sure if anyone here has the same issue.
My rig is running win10 with phoneix5.6d. Since I only mine 12 hrs a day to avoid peak time electric fees, it is auto turn on and off every day. The miner is autorun using the task scheduler after the rig is on. It has 10 gpus (6*rx580 + 4*gtx1070) so can generate around 300mhs. However, I have noted that when the rig is auto on and run the miner, it only got around 292mhs. I have to manually close the miner and run it again to get 300mhs, otherwise, it will stay around 289~292. I also found that the report hashrates in bitfly is unsteady when it's around 289~292. if I restart the miner (not rig), the report hashrates will be steadily staying at 300mhs
For me, it sounds like the miner needs to be "warm up"?? anyone here got the same problem?? Btw, I remember I don't have this problem when using claymore.
For better answer you need to share your log files. I’m guessing from what you said possibly reason is, if you are using straps and rxboost they don’t running with automatic start until you start the rig manually with administrator rights. this is my log file when running the miner the first time and got 292mhs https://www.dropbox.com/s/d568k76xa8urlg1/log20210814_214923.txt?dl=0this is when close and reopen the miner for a second time. I can get around 300mhs https://www.dropbox.com/s/k2ej440ogvp4yjo/log20210814_224919.txt?dl=0I don't use rxboost and strape. the setting is just a simple wallet address. I use afterburner for oc. I also noted that if the rig is running at 300mhs, which means the miner is restarted for a second time. The rig will become unstable, it will crash and reboot at least once 12hrs. after reboot it will back to around 292mhs unless close and open the miner again. |

Hi all,
I got a question that what is the Page File size or Virtual Memory of a rig? Currently, it has been increased to at least 49g. However, I heard that the size of VM should be based on the total number of the GPU on the rig and the memory of each GPU. if so the VM should be different on each rig?
Also, is 49g the initial value or max value?
In theory yes each rig will have a different virtual memory depending on what GPU's they have. If so, what is 49g based on?? if my rig has 10 * rx580 8g. what would be the initial value and max value?? If windows it managing it it's probably making it what ever it wants lol. If you set it to manual it should be set to at least 80gb (this only accounts for the cards you have to add more for windows needs) so is 80g the initial value or max value? that is my initial question, as in windows 10, you need to enter 2 values, initial and mix |

Hi there,
I got a strange problem, not sure if anyone here can help.
I only mine during an off-peak time, appex 12hrs a day so I use windows 10 task scheduler set up the timers ex: when to start the miner and when to close. However, I note that when the miner is started by the task scheduler, the hashrate is lower (around 293mhs) than I check the miner shortcuts on my desktop myself (around 300mhs). I'm pretty sure that they are running the same file. I know it's odd, but when I close the miner which was started by the task scheduler and open it again via desktop shortcuts, I got a normal hashrate. So pretty sure, it's something to do with the task scheduler, but not sure where to start. I tried to set the task with high privilege, but still the same. ANy suggest??
Hum, strange indeed! I would suggest the following: 1- Set the scheduler to restart your pc at the desired time you wish to mine ( https://v2cloud.com/tutorials/how-to-configure-windows-to-reboot-automatically-on-schedule) 2-Set your PhoenixMiner.exe file to run as an administrator (Properties > Compatibility > Settings - Run this program as an administrator) 3- Create a shortcut of your start_miner batch file and cut it 4- press the windows logo, type run, enter (to open the run app), then type shell:startup and paste your batch file shortcut there (C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup). Now everytime your pc restarts it's going to start your miner, with the minor inconvenience of you having to manually close the miner when you do not wish to mine... See if that helps with your hashrate issue. I use the startup thing on my pc and haven't had any issues so far. Thx for the suggestion. The reason I use scheduler not startup folder is that can set up the delay time. I dual mine monero with XMR-Stak RX miner and put XMR-Stak RX miner to the startup as when I tried to set XMR-Stak RX miner in the scheduler, it starts without any setting each time (still not sure why). So I use scheduler for PhoenixMiner and delay 4mins to start after login so the windows will earn a bit of time to log XMR-Stak RX miner, afterburner, watchdog, and TeamViewer...etc before starting PhoenixMiner. I have just tried to put PhoenixMiner in the startup folder with XMR-Stak RX miner and watchdog. This time I got around 298mhs, still lower than manually check the shortcuts, which always stay above 300mhs. so strange |

I need help to set up a watchdog in PhoenixMiner
I have a problem understanding how the watchdog runs in PhoenixMiner. I got a rig with 10 GPUs. One of them was suddenly freezing yesterday. I can see the miner tried to restart itself (I believe this is the default and I didn't change the setting as I can see it showed restarting... ). However, after running few commons, the miner window close. The rig was do nothing for hours until I run the miner again.
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to auto restart the miner as claymore did after an unexpected GPU crash.
