mining on windows is nothing but headache and way too much work, with the number of riggs you are dealing with is a full time job and than some. the down time alone will eat up your profit quickly if i were you i would look into some linux distros like ethos smos.

i am a hobby miner IT guy myself and been testing mmpOS and i really like it it's been super stable for my AMD cards

Best of luck!

about your power cost, is it 10 cents or 1 cent?
most power companies in US charge extra premium after 1000KW or so, is yours a fixed amount?
It's a fixed amount but PA is weird They charge a 'supplier rate' and 'Distribution rate' So while my Supplier rate is .04599c/Kw hr the distribution is what it costs to get that power to my house. So my total is .10C/kw. There is no Seasonal rate or anything.
Claymore straps are fine, 32 mh/s for my Micron babies with Claymore straps is the best I could ever get from them.

I wish all the luck to the topic starter, 10c per kWh doesn't sound attractive though


How many GPUs do you have per rig using Claymore straps? I can't get more than 5 to work. No idea why.

I am really sorry to disappoint you now, but I am running 12 AMD GPU rig almost with no problems. Uptime is around 6 days. Using Windows (as it's free and straps are working; once strap function is available in HiveOS I might switch to it).

My setup is a little different though; MOBO is Gigabyte's

upd: I re-checked your first post and haven't found anything about your MOBO lol. I had a feeling you use different one or mentioned it in some other post.. w/e

my piece of advice is to distinguish each GPU's bios and put GPUs with the same bios in the same rig.

This would help you to flash them much easier.

The motherboard I have is an Asrock H110 PRO BTC+
Of course, I've done this. Each rig is separated by memory type. Samsung/Hynix/Elpida. Strange that you don't have this issue. Wonder if it's something to do with the motherboard then?

Gosh I hate Asrock stuff Smiley

I don't question your flashing skills, but could you share what exactly have you done with AtiFlash?

I faced the problem that the bios of my GPUs was 256kb instead of needed 512kb in order to flash correctly.

So I believe I haven't flashed them at all, and just used Claymore in-built settings.

if anyone shares Vega .bat settings , would be glad to appraise.

Try starting with the following configuration for Vega (there's some more tips for tuning your settings here):

Code:
set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100

:: Set the pool, username, and port here. All three arguments are required.
sgminer.exe -k x16r -o stratum+tcp://pool.here:port -u user -p password -g 2 -w 64 -X 320

Let me know how it goes Smiley

Awesome, will give it a try later today.
There are no AMD miners for X17, but it seems similar to X16R with 1 more algorithm. Is it possible to port the optimizations into a separate X17 miner/kernel?

That sounds doable; I'll look into it.
R: (which I guess shows GPU load) is dropping to 5-10% on some of gpus and later on makes them sick. with -22% pl it showed 10 mh/s on some of healthy GPUs.

My Vega rig is remote, I can't risk and keep it working there for now - not stable Sad

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.4.0 on: April 13, 2018, 12:14:47 PM
so just in case someone is interested, I use the following parameters:

intensity: 118 (120 gives 1880 h/s, but I do not risk to give it a long try as I am far away from my rig atm).

double threads: true


concerning the vegas themselves, I have Nitro+ 56, parameters via OverdriveNTool

1590 - 1000
930 - 950
-22% powerlimit

Sorry for being wrong.

Great miner, higher hashrate for vegas!

Love it <3 :*

How did you manage to avoid the hashdrop ?  Wink

And what algo do you use? Cn heavy ?  If yes can you please share your hashrate and config with the way you managed to avoid the hashrate drops with vega please ?
v7.

hashdrop is avoided by using monitor connected to MOBO.

I had the issue with Cast XMR and that's the only way I could deal with it

Even more than CastXMR?

30h more.

nothing extraordinary, just a bonus

what is extraordinary about 850h/s  Huh Huh Huh

just default straps from 1750 do the same.

I've managed to have 950 h/s with samsung memory though, 8-gpu rig, 1.3 kWh

well this miner is too far from Cast XMR in terms of optimization, but taking into consideration the pleasant GUI, I use it on one of my rigs.

However, if developer manages to reach the same hashrate for Vega as Cast XMR, I would instantly switch all rigs on it.

By the way, one more question, any possible optimization for Fiji?

I've got my Fury X mining 950 only Sad

14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Gigabyte-GA-H110-D3A Mining board SUCKS! Can't get 6gpu up and running on: March 22, 2018, 08:18:29 AM
Read this thread about 8 times when I was having a mare setting this board up with vegas. In case it helps anyone - the 16x slot seems to use resources differently to the others.

Enabling mining, Gen 2, using internal graphics brings the shorter slots online, but if you use that longer slot it hogs <something>, especially with Vegas. I had crash after crash till I swapped from using that 16x slot.

hey! did you just ignore pci16 slot on the mobo? or you used riser for that? or?

Still have one of my Vegas mining at a good 100h/s slower than the other 5... and no idea why. They are all 56's flashed to 64's, running at 1950h/s except that odd one doing 1850. Same temperature, same clocks, same everything. Is there a logical explanation? Any suggestions?

maybe other memory type on that gpu
Is there a way to find this out by the way?...

Memory type? gpu-z should do it. Hwinfo might.

what should be the memory type to attain the mentioned hash rate and what memory types to avoid , can u tell me.

Vega is the only card that has a new kind of memory called HBM.
All reference design has Samsung HBM chips in it.
It doesn't matter if it is Sapphire,  Asus or 56 and 64.
All reference card was made by AMD itself and it has Samsung in it.

Most of the non reference cards have hynix HBM chips.

Samsung good
Hynix bad

How bad I don't really know. Apparently Hynix memory will do around 900hz . Samsung could do 1200 but usually stays at 1100.

Avoid XFX non reference!!!

That's all

About the problem mentioned.  Is the card in question  an GFX900 instead GFX901?
My guess is, it's not the card. It's something else. If you change the card position,  do it keep the lower hash?
I do have an problematic Sapphire 64, same card as the other 5 in the rig. It is the only that is identified as GFX900 and the only that gave me errors.

Lol, just saw u do have 2 GFX900.  That's your problem. This card is more tricky.  Mine is doing same hash but with 2% error.
No one knows the difference from gfx 900  to gfx 901!
There are 56, 64 and FE as 900 but the majority in the market is 901.

 

actually, you are wrong here. few years back, such kind of GPU as FURY X hit the market.

it also has HBM memory type, not HBM2 like Vega though.

I disabled fee in Claymore. Lost 1Mh/s on each gpu.

So it' s worth to pay the fee.
how come 1% is more than 1Mh/s ? what is wrong with you?

Can't you count? The 1MH/s loss scales too. That is, let's say he has 1k GPUs, at 31MH/s per:

With the fee on, his "effective" hashrate is 31 * 1000 * 0.99 = 30,690MH/s.
With the nofee switch and the inability to modify the code to disable the slowdown: 30 * 1000 = 30,000MH/s.

Pretty clear to me.

oh yeah sorry, I misread the message.

YES, my point was paying fee is better.

What a drama coming!

For those who wants Claymore to lower dev fee - suck it up dudes, he makes constant developments of miner things and he's the only one who always deliver.

If you are so greedy and for you 0.35% makes a huge difference (sick joke, seriously), it would be better to throw yourselves out of the window.

I am 100% sure those who have industrial mines have their own miner software and not have any problem with comission.

So, most of baby cryers outta here have 1 rig with 300$ monthly income -- 3$ per month for actually MAKING this income possible -- it is too much for you guys?




Coming back to reverse engineering thing, I do not appreciate such kind of actions. Hope it has nothing with stealing Claymore's code.

Have a nice day everyone!

I have significant hashpower and believe me, 0.35% makes a substantial difference at current prices

it is your problem you cannot inquire someone about your private miner and have a stable hashrate with no fees.



you misunderstand me - 0.35% is the difference between Phoenix Miner and Claymore - that difference IS significant

Here I have completely understood your point, you have unlimited hashpower - blah blah.

But in the case you have zillion hashes per second, why aren't you able to buy a private miner for your needs and remove fee, approximately, forever?

So, your words are just blabbering to me.

claymore's fee is down to 1.5%, it changes nothing I guess though
