Have you tried control fan speed using any other software, e.g. Asus gpu tweak II?
Command -tt -50 should keep fans at 50% but that GPU has a thing they called 0dB technology and it starts fans at 55°C and stops them when temperature drops below that value.
Maybe you should try -tt -30 to keep fans at 30%, that way GPU should be above 55°C and fans would be spinning constantly.

I don't think that's right.  -tt should be target temp, right?  As in, the miner will adjust the fans to keep the temp at the -tt value.  The args to do what you're suggesting should be -fanmin 30.  Or am I an idiot?

I just checked readme file and it says:
-tt <n> Set fan control target temperature (special values: 0 - no HW monitoring on ALL cards,
     1-4 - only monitoring on all cards with 30-120 seconds interval, negative - fixed fan speed at n %)

That means if you set -tt 30 that target temperature should be 30°C (I am just using this temperature as an example), but if you set -tt -30 that means you set fixed fan speed at 30%.
I am using -tt -70 in Claymore miner and my fans are constantly spinning at 70%, it should do the same in PhoenixMiner.
Try -tt -30 or some other value and see what happens.

Ah ok, I see.  Thanks for clarifying!

I'm having a problem with the latest version.
6 x RX580 cards, all is well for a few hours, then my machine seems to freeze.
I need to do hardreset to get it to work again, I'm not sure what the problem is.
On my other 2x Nvidea 1070ti machine there no issues and runs for days.
I do not think its overclock but not sure.

Whats the best way to see what the problem is?

check sleep and wake up functions... it seems something like that.

I found in windows logs, issue is to do with amddiag or sumfin. quit unexpectedly.
I was using latest amd drivers so now gone downgrade..
Whats most best drivers?

I've been mining very stably for 2 months on 18.3.4, after having nothing but trouble on blockchain beta drivers.

How to disable that anoyying reset clocks and memory when miner is quitting ?
The program always keeps crashing and my rig freezes.

I don't believe you can, nor would you probably want to.  What kind of cards and what driver version are you running?

Sorry if this is a stupid request, but would it be possible to add a feature for naming gpu's?  I know you can re-number them, but custom alphanumeric naming might help me take out some frustration on poorly performing cards. Tongue

It's kinda a copy or claymore but better in my perspective (more info & faster mh/s).

I used exact the same config for PhoenixMiner as I used for Claymore. I've set the mvddc, cvddc, cclock, memclock to a specific value for each card. I have 6x RX 580 8gb and i've set for every individual card a value.
Claymore was consuming 850W and a hashrate of 181mh/s.
I tried PhoenixMiner 2.9e (exact parameters) and it uses 1200W !!!! I didn't know it was doing that because I used teamviewer. So after like 4 minutes I checked my miner in the basement because the temperature of the cards also increased. And then I saw 1200W for a 1000W PSU..... I immediatly switched the power off.

Now I do have 2 questions:

1. How did it consume 350W more?
2. Did I badly damage my 1000W gold+ PSU?

Thanks

As for your question about damaging the PSU, probably not.  The wattage rating on a PSU is what the unit is expected to OUTPUT... in your case, 1000W.  However, it is not perfectly efficient, so draw from the wall will be higher.  If your PSU is gold rated (80% efficient), then at maximum capacity, it should be pulling about 1200W at the wall.  This isn't a good thing to do in practice, since it generates a lot of heat and leaves no headroom for the system to get any more power (which would cause instability / crashes), and efficiency decreases at higher loads which means more $$ for power.  But if you only ran like that for a few minutes, then you don't need to worry about damage.  1000W PSU is pretty borderline for 6 580's, but if it's working for you then great.

As I said before, try the 18.3.4 drivers (and make sure you enable compute mode in settings) and run PheonixMiner again with your voltage tweaks.

I'm betting that you are running the AMD blockchain drivers?  If so, then I had the same experience with Phoenix miner + blockchain drivers.  The cmd line clock and voltage settings did not take effect.  Once I upgraded to Adrenaline 18.3.4, then Phoenix worked perfectly.... I find it to be more stable than Claymore for sure.
