Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)

[Andrey123]

Guys!
I started version 9.6, and the hash jumps very much!
From 60 to 96!
Driver 17.6.1
The Sapphire RX 480 cards have 8 GB, did not flash.
I'm getting ETC+DCR

What to do?

When dual mining on my XFX 295x2, periodically my hashrate is very poor.

I'll go from hashing ~31mhash eth ~900mhash decred (per gpu) to ~8mhash eth ~200mhash decred and then return. GPU-Z unfortunately doesn't show me the vrm temps on my 295 so I'm not sure what they are hitting. In single mining mode, I can actually push these things to do ~33mhash and they never seem to stray from that number.

I was originally using the recommended driver which exhibited the problem. I have moved on to the 17.xx drivers as for some magical reason they have allowed me to reduce the power target on both my 295x2 and 290x and sustain slightly higher clocks.


I see this is a known issue, which 9.6 didn't resolve sadly.

Does anyone have a 295x2 that is not having this problem? Should I try a different bios that anyone is aware of? The 290x (reference) in the same chassis (on a different psu) does not ever run into this problem, but it's running a customized bios based on the 390x aside from the other obvious differences between the cards.

After this message: "Miner thread hangs, neet to restart miner!" Claymore only restarts after I hit a key, the only solution that I found on the internet, was a macro that press enter from time to time which is not ideal.


- Windows 10 fully updated
- Claymore dual mining v9.6(ethereum-only mining mode), same happens with v9.5
- Nvidia driver 382.53
- Firewall and antivirus are disabled
- 2 EVGA 1060 6GB SC (06G-P4-6163-KR) without riser, with a very small OC (+450MHz on memory)
- Virtual memory paging file is set bigger than 16GB


Should I install the driver version 368.81 of it's ok to use the latest version?

What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have 2 different rigs with 2 different motherboards(Msi and ASUS) with 7 mixed GPU each rig.  I am farming ETH+SIA and in both rigs i have same problem , GPU0 is allways  unstable on a hash rate that varies from 15 to 29.

I already tried everything, changing risers , psu , switch GPU.... still the problem persists allways on GPU0


Anyone have this bug?

Hey guys, new here.

I use claymore dual mining 9.5 for 1-2 weeks, running it with 1x asus rog strix 1080 and it's been running very well for now.

My friend added 2x 1070 we installed in the rig, but now the miner won't start and heres the message error. Seems like it can't find the pool anymore.

this is our settings in the miner.bat  we also set up in Asus Gpu TweakII the temperature and memory clocking by default to test with 3 gpus and eventually we're gonna play with the settings but for now
we're wondering why the miner wont start


thanks

changed the pictures to claymore 9.6, i swapped to this version to make things easier, now it detects my gpus but dosent connect to the pool we specified.

Much time, i get "(FAILOVER 1)"

What does it mean? What can i do to fix it...

Why would they be the same? Thats totally fine.... you need to OC the memory on that 1070 but those speeds are 100% normal....

NORMIES GET OUT.

I dont believe in coincidences thats why. And for mathematical hashing to be equal to 10x could be a sign of error and hence be reported.

Regarding OCing, on some I can push ~31, but some tend to be unstable around 28 so i keep it safe and up at all times.
Cheers!

Any idea what algo is? Mining is just too easy nowadays, entry level is below any average knowledgebase...

You can't expect the same hashing rates when the hashes being parsed have different underlying algorithms.
SIA - blake algorithm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function)#Blake2b_Algorithm
ETH - ethash algorithm https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethash

As far as I know minergate isn't well supported with this miner, I tried it myself and it just went nuts. If you want to mine with minergate you could use minergates own GUI application...

Just got some spare time to test sgminer on linux I have written my current hashrate and as soon as DAG changes will test again and report, but I doubt that issue is hardware related.

Just mine ETC which is on a higher epoch and report the results.

Who sells the devices to hardware turn a miner on or off?

Hello all,

I've been having some issues running Claymore's miner lately. I've done everything possible that I know how to do, but I'm still having issues. Here's a list of things I've done:
-Clean uninstall drivers and install 15.12 from both Softpedia as well as AMD previous drivers page
-Using an older version of Claymore's miner (downloaded from MEGA)
-Setting Windows "swap"/virtual memory to 16GB
-Updating all device drivers
-Swapping motherboards/CPUs
-Overwriting Windows 10 with Windows 7

Here are the specs of the machine I'm most currently running:
-5x XFX R7 370's (2GB) ----- I'm mining Ubiq, not Ethereum, so 2GB cards still work!
-5x powered risers, all of which I know are working as they were tested in a working environment
-AsRock Extreme4 motherboard (the one molex plug IS connected despite powered risers, was necessary to boot)
-Intel i3-4130 w/ stock cooling
-8GB Ram
-850w power supply : Kill-A-Watt reads 750w from the wall when it's running at full speed (it did work for a few hours the first time then suddenly disconnected and I've been having issues ever since)
-Edimax Wireless Adapter (150mbps)
-Windows 7 Professional (I've tried with Windows 10 for days and finally decided that it might be the OS, but I'm still have the issue)

Misc info:
-I use Chrome Remote Desktop to remote into the device.
-Windows updates are disabled
-Radeon automatic updates are disabled
-Only things installed are device drivers, Google Chrome, and Claymore's miner

WITH ALL OF THAT SAID, HERE IS THE ISSUE I'M HAVING:
After much testing and deducing, the problem that I can replicate best is the fact that when the miner is started, the computer crashes in one way or another. Every fan still spins, and you probably wouldn't even know that it went down unless you actually saw the screen go from blue to black (switch from on to off). This confused me for the longest time since I was mostly using the device headlessly until I brought a monitor in.

I've also had it where the miner starts and then all of the sudden all of the fans kick on to 100%. It scared me to all hell the first time I heard it. Thought I fried something, but everything seems to run "fine" (besides the fact that it's not mining, of course). After a reboot every device is still there.

The only other bit of information I can seem to scrap out of this is that it crashes when the DAG epochs are created. That's the last thing I see before the screen goes black and I have to hit the reset button.



Thank you in advance for any replies, I've been working on this for days and all of these graphics cards are still just sitting.

you can try also --cl-local-work 128 --cl-global-work 8192

thanks for posting this. I am seeing a lot of crashes with claymore 9.6 on my system and giving ethminer a go. I can already see that the hashrates are a bit bigger (about 2-3mhs). That's pretty cool.
Hopefully it will be stable and I will be able to overclock more. I am only at 600 memory on a gtx 1060 6gb

What make and model is that GPU? What modification have you applied to it? Run it with stock settings.
