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

[syncis]

www.ubuntu.com, 1200W is definitely too little.

850W for mainboard and 3x cards.
850W for remaining 3x cards.

Do you recommend getting a better psu or does changing to Ubuntu do any difference regarding the Power? Cant imagine that.
But my wattman says 950 when they are all on 100% Power target, that is for the whole rig...

it's like redlining your Porsche, you can go there but don't keep it there. At 950W your 1200W PSU is probably about to kick the bucket.

I am so desperate that I will donate eth if i solve this....

6x 1070, asrock h81 btc, win 10, latest nvidia drivers, claymore 9.6, 1200w PSU, Virtual set to 16 gb.
Even at stock settings , the miner crashes, sometimes directly , and sometimes after 1-2 hours.
I have tried different nvidia drivers, and even tried previous claymore versions.
Tried swapping the cards around and setting in bios gen1/gen2 ( it should work out of the box )
I have connected the 2 molex connectors on the mobo and also having 6 powered usb risers.
Only time i can get it to go a bit longer is if i have it at stock, but change the Power target to around 60% for all cards.
I have a "wattman" and it says computer is taking 650w from the wall. but thats with low Power target, otherwise it is around 900.
When it crashes, 1 card Always dissapears , both from the miner and from Afterburner ( in AB its there but cant change anything because its grayed out ) resulting in having to reset PC.
Sometimes when it crashes , my monitor that is connected to 1 of the cards also shuts down.
Most of the times i get BSOD after the crash and if that doesnt happen, the whole computer freezes up.
I really want to Think there is enough Power to drive this with 1200w.


Edit : Just Before it crashes, my mouse curser is almost unmovable. Really laggy. But both cpu and memory are far from maxed out.
My cards temp are also not capping, just around 60.

Any ideas ?

Hi.
Last night has the same problem. I have the same hardware and software specs like you. After check all things, I saw a molex melted. I change the cable and works again.
Good luck.
(Sorry about my eng)

I can't for the life of me get Siacoin to dual mine. Anything obvious I'm doing wrong? Ethereum runs fine, but SC never gets authorized, and my SC hash rate just sits at 0.000 MH/s and I just keep getting SC job timeouts.

My startup script:

Code:

ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal ***my ethereum info*** -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://sia-us-west1.nanopool.org:7777 -dwal ***my siacoin address***/***miner name***/***email address*** -ftime 10 -dcoin sia

My output (edited slightly for compactness):

Notice in there that it says ETH: Authorized, but it never says anything about SC: Authorized? I think this is my problem, but I don't know what else to do about it.

What I've tried so far, none of which have been successful:

• Generating a new Siacoin wallet address
• Changing my email address to a Gmail address
• -dcri intensities from about 1 to 500
• switching from Nanopool to Miningpoolhub
• switching to different Nanopool servers
• Claymore 9.5 and 9.7

Any thoughts?

+1 you need to unplug all of them and add one and let it run for a bit and add one at a time. Time consuming yes, but will get you to the root of thep roblem.  I had a faulty vga connecter that was my issue

Sounds like you're either overclocking too much, or one of your risers has an intermittent connection. Shady risers do all kinds of weird stuff.

Hey Claymore,
Nice 4% boost for Baffins, May be another nvidia 1060 boost in next version? Still a bit behind
Good work!

Any thoughts?

Drop the stratum+tcp part of the server name. From my own .bat file:

Code:

-dpool sia-eu1.nanopool.org:7777

1200W should be plenty for 6x 1070s. My rigs are setup like that and with PL of 65-70% pull 775W at the wall and the psu doesn't even turn it's fan on most of the time. If his psu kicks the bucket there's something wrong with it!  80% utilisation should not tax a decent gold or platinum psu.

I'd recommend unplugging all the cables and every riser, check them carefully and then add the cards back one at a time, mining on each for 1/2hr or so at stock before adding another. That should at least let you find out at what point things get unstable. If it gets unstable with one card then look to the software, reinstall from scratch or take a known working image from another machine if you have one.

Thanks--just tried that too, but got the same outcome.

Ok good info, i will try that.
Just to clarify, is it better to run each card alone for 30 mins or do you Think i should start with 1 card and every 30 min I add Another card, for testing.

[gt_addict]

So switched to the new v9.7 and now im getting GPU Error "gpuminer cu_k1 failed 77, an illegal memory access was encountered"

Ive got the latest drivers, win10 is upto date, even reduxed clocks (which were working fine on v9.5)

Also keep getting "ethdcrminer64 blocked from accessing graphics hardware" errors too even though windows defender virus & threat protection is disabled.

Can someone please help?

[BennyAndDeJets]

Is there a way to identify multiple wallets and pools without using the epools file?

Thoughts on this?

[notbatman]

Well I guess Nvida is just that much better 'cause I got a fried Corsair gold 1200W sitting next to me that tried to power 6x RX cards. (the modded RX cards do 30MH/s and cost $250 while the GTX1070 cost $750 for the same, this was a few months back of course)

edit:

Also, what's up with AMD lately? Are they trying to go out of business? ...and my local computer store only has expensive ultra gourmet Intel CPU's for those nice 7 slot boards, I want a nice $60 Pentium; my worker is doing menial labor not rendering the next Moon landing.

[swisstrader]

Something new with the droping hashrate on Radeon cards ?

yes, dump claymore use sgminer instead.

Even if my Vega cards don't work with Claymore's Miner when they get here, I'll wait until they do before I use them to mine.

Saturday I've tested the new Vega Frontier edition with the SGMiner-GM, got max. 10 MH/s at coinotron.com pool with ETH mining.
Now I check my single GTX1060 with Claymore's new v9.7, be after 20 mins at 16 MH/s and I guess I'll reach the 19.9 MH/s as shown from
Claymore's miner on my screen.

I'm in the testing phase to decide which card I'll take to build a larger rig. Any suggestions from experienced miners here?

I hope, that Claymore will tune his miner for the new Vega too. I expected 69 MH/s from this card when I decided to buy one card for tests.

Adding another card each time to see where things start to lose stability. Hopefully they don't though.

@Claymore

Just wanted to say thanks for cleaning up the manager.  Working well now, good job!

[tsg]

I would like to mine ethereum and some ethereum forks: etc, expanse, elementrem, ubiq..
Could I specify it in epools.txt to switch by pressing "e" key in miner?

[rorschach1]

Just tried new version and I very glad Really much faster startup miner. Also I have more stability in work. Thanks Claymore!

Upd: have on my nvidia rig +2 Mh per card  Wow!

[tsg]

But no increase in hashrate after decrease in last period (over 1mhs  a card)

[skdsw]

Hi
Does -ttli option works with nvidia cards?
