Hi Everybody:

As a lot of messages I have seen here, I will start stating that I'm new here and new in mining, I started mining on friday, so far great, I have learnt a lot.

Right now I am mining with only 3 ASUS STRIX RX580 8GB OC, I have reduced the GPU clock in 5% and increased the memory clock speed to 2200 MHz, I have got 27.4 MH/s from 24.5MH/s, all this in AMDs Wattman, I had problems with the Asus Aura Light Effects, it seems it mess with the MH/s fluency, It is off and uninstalled now.

I have read about some widely known power adjustments, I understand the idea is to reduce voltage, so reduce power consumption, and increase memory clock speed, so increase MH/s, I have read too about doing it with AMDs Wattman or MSIs AfterBurner, and about bios flashing.

Knowing many has been able to get 29MH/s and 135 Watts of power from this cards, my questions so far are the following:

- There is need to flash a new bios to get the best performance?, if so, how many MH/s could I get?, or power reduction?.
- If I can get similar improvements with AMDs Wattman, which are the parameters I must use?.

Thank you very much for your support.

If you're still using Windows (which is about as stable as a house of cards during a hurricane), then you can easily undervolt using MSI AB or whatever. Also, only 27.4MH/s? Those can't be Samsung, are they?

LOL.... "...If you're still using Windows (which is about as stable as a house of cards during a hurricane)..." ~ Wolf0, 2017

thanks for brief grin... needed one.... after the BTC bloodbath last night

27.5mh -- standard 1500 straps -- maybe Elpida memory

possibly SK-Hynix... lucky card this

Use GPUZ to find out memory type

It seems I am Lucky, these are Samsung, just checked.

What I need to change?, which settings must I use?.

Thx very much,

Damn! I thought copy+paste hackjob from 1750 -> 2000 would do better than that on Samsung K4G80325FB. I figured at least 28.5MH/s (which still, for Samsung, is not good) but... wow.

Wolf0, I'm a little confused on the memory issue.  What is the desired memory on the RX480?  Are there any to totally stay away from?  And how can you tell what memory a card has before you buy it.  I search for specs and it's not something that really seems to be listed.  Maybe I'm missing it.

4GB is more than adequate. If you have 8GB it might hash slightly faster but a lot of the extra memory is not used for mining.

1060/1070 prices gone crazy in my country, LOL ETH skyrocket... BTC drops.. My pool went from 7 to 10 TH/s in few days..

What do you think about 570/4GB, will it still be worth it when they restock, if they...? Amazon only shows preorder on all RXses..   

570 4GB will be worth buying if you are lucky enough to find one.

Just go into Defender and tell it the offending exe, dll, etc is allowed. They came up as trojans because dumbass scumbags use the code in mining bots.

Guys im having trouble getting the batch file correct i think, would someone be able to give me one to run ive tried all sorts but it just starts up in the black command window then goes straight off. ive tried different pools also  

The weird thing is if i click on the start batch file that comes in claymoores folder it starts up fine and my cards all start hashing on there servers / accounts

im runnning 3 x r380 on win 7 64 bit

Batch files ive tried to use are:


setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Hi all, new to mining world.
I'm learning the basics of mining

After a little trouble, i set up a win 7 x64 rig with 1 Vaporx 7970 3G and an MSI GTX 780 3G
I'm running EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool http://localhost:8545 -asm 1 -mode 1 -tt 80 -benchmark 1

Total hashrate is 27,8 Mh/s

ATI hashrate 13 Mh/s catalist crimson 15.12
Nvidia hashrate 14,8 Mh/s driver 382.33 cuda 8

Now the questions:
1 - Ati hashrate isn't too low?
2 - Nvidia start ming at 17 Mh/s and after few seconds drops to 14~, maybe the temperature that is around 85°C?
3 - Can you suggest me some trick and options to optimize hashing rate and the cooling of the nvidia card?

Thanks in advance!

Hey I detached my DVI from gpu and now I attached it to the onboard.

If I launch miner drivers and miner say no gpu detected.

Windows detects it (Radeon drivers do not).

Any chance?

Always smart to add a Windows Defender exception on the folder you keep your mining software in.  Miners regularly get falsely flagged as trojans because they get packaged in trojans.

I already do that and it is working perfectly.

Sorry. I should have been more specific.  I'm talking about the brand of memory.    If I'm wanting a good performing card, what is the better brand of memory to seek out.  And how can you tell what it is before you buy it.

When I mining on Eth only mode i get 88 mh/s when I switch to Eth + Sia dual mode I get 16 mh/s . wasnt the Eth hashrate  suposed to be equal in dual mining mode?

[davigotardo]

Claymore,
the problem with ETHMan 3.1 + Dualminer 9.5
If some rig go down, and then after some time goes up, it dosent restore in ETHMan, on screenshot you see that miner restarted and work, i launched web console and it works already 2 minutes, but ETHMan still show "lost ****". Even after 10 minutes ETHMan dosent see rig. So as it was with ETHMan 3.0, I need restart it to see all rigs stats again.

If you included cryptography and https, then maybe here some trouble with ssl? need to update certificate if connection was lost?

https://pp.userapi.com/c637223/v637223838/6dcbe/XV9iyhdO-c0.jpg

Can confirm this, same problem here.
The last update of EthMan improved the 100% lock after a warning, but a rig which was offline and comes back up is not (always?) shown as alive until EthMan is restarted.
Also the batch action is still not retriggered in case of a persisting failure.

The same thing is happening here.

There be a Microsloth error! Windows Defender probably deleted it for you, all that dangerous money could harm a little feller like you! In any case your miner executable is missing.

Top tip there! Knew about the reasons behind it, but excluding the folder is an excellent shout. Thanks.

Ur Windows Defender deleting some files from Claymore folder

[ivanst776]

How long does the devfee usually take? I just saw that "Devfee: Stop mining and disconnect"

Is the claymore chargning anything us, or the nanopool that I'm using, how much is the fee and how often does this happen (if more than once)

At the other side I'm very statisfied with claymore, I had an issue today as the windows defender is counting it as a threat/virus and deleted the files, but I got it solved by excluding the folder so the antivirus won't scan it.

Dear,

I use ethos (linux), how can I set email in your config file?

Claymore, I noticed the front page of the thread with the new release links no longer mentions the issues with Nvidia 9xx and new drivers on Windows 10.  Has that been resolved and Maxwell cards can mine at full hashrate with latest drivers in windows 10?
