1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / AMD now lets you change Memory Timing in the Drivers on the FLY! on: December 17, 2018, 09:23:27 AM
Hi all,
So AMD just released new Driver:AMD Radeon Adrenalin Edition 18.12.2 drivers.
Among many new stuff- there is now an option to change Memory timing :Automatic/Level 1/Level 2 - and they apply on the fly when you choose "Apply", not even a restart is requierd!.
I did small test with oclmembench on my RX 470 4GB Hynix on Stock Bios 1206MHz/1750Mhz.
Timings -Automatic: 165 GB/s
Timings -Level 1:     169 GB/s
Timings -Level 2:     182 GB/s

Level 2  @ 2000MHz Mem OC: 195~200 GB/s

Have you tried it and compared results? I think it's nice by AMD to provide this option- what do you think?
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / [ANN] coolMiner - Lyra2z Miner for nVidia [Maxwell\Pascal\Volta\RTX] on: June 03, 2018, 11:13:38 AM
Dear Miners :-),
I would like to share with you my modified version of ccminer 2.2.6 with improved lyra2z kernels,
I see that there is many new coins for this algo and since the hot summer is near there is no better "Eco" algo like lyra2z.
So I called it the -"coolMiner" :-).
This miner should have all ccminer options and you can use it on any pool or lyra2z coin u like - no limits!.
Please use the latest nVidia drivers to get the full speed from the miner!

Thanks for @zcoinofficial for recommending on coolMiner- You Are Cool!  (+Thanks for the great Eco algo!)Grin




Update: coolMiner-v1.7!
Release notes and download link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4412370.msg47366847#msg47366847


.bat file for reference:
Code:
coolMiner-x64 -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://<PoolURL>:<PORT> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p <OPTIONS> -i 19  --hide-diff -q  
*supports "-p stats" to  submit your results to yiimp pools :-) :

coolMiner V1.7 Specs:
  • Compiled with Cuda10, 64-bit.
  • Compiled for nVidia Gpu's with SM_52/SM_61/SM_70/SM_75 (Maxwell-Pascal-Volta-RTX).
  • Max-GPU support increased to 20!.
  • Stale share bug fixed.
  • Lyra2z miner only.

Benchmark resaults:
1080Ti - 3,750KH/s @2075Mhz core.
1070TI - 2,400KH/s @1987Mhz core (2,500 KH/s+ should be no problem with better OC).
1070 - 1,950KH/s @2025Mhz core (2,000 KH/s+ should be no problem with better OC).


I only got those cards, I would like you to share your results on other cards too :-).


Cool Tip to save power!:
You can Limit the max Core voltage of the GPU with MSI afterburner by pressing: "ctrl+f" and then you will see new window with your cards Frequency/Voltage graph:

Then you can click on the graph on the desired voltage and click "ctrl-l" and then the apply button on the MSI afterburner:

Then you will see the Core voltage drops and this way you can drop the power usage:

You can play with it and adjust the core clock and achieve the max clock/voltage for better efficiency- do it with small steps so you will not crash the display driver :-)

I hope you will support and accept the 1% dev fee- let's call it "dude fee"  Wink, I prefer to support the community and not just sell it to "Big-Farms" ;-).
