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

[Munhenhos]

Hi guys, I'm looking for some help, please. Claymore 9.5 runs fine but I cannot get 9.6 or 9.7 going. In 9.7 I get : "ETH: Stratum - Cannot connect to eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999. Failed to connect." I have Win 10, 1x ASUS ROG STRIX GAMING GeForce GTX 1080 Advanced Edition, newest driver 384.76. Claymore 9.5 runs fine with my .bat file :

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

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal walletNR/Name/Email -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10 

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Add you wallet adress to your bat file.

1200W is definitely enough, it can easily take 1300W out of the wall.
I would suggest you to double check the basics:
- reset BIOS to default
- set PCI-E to Gen2 and disable built in video adapter
- do not use Molex on MB if you have powered risers
- setup default BIOS and settings on all cards.
- install all the latest updates for Windows (run>winver>must be 1703)
- uninstall with DDU and reinstall the drivers for Nvidia recommended by Claymore ("10xx cards in Windows 10 x64: just use latest 372.54 drivers from Nvidia website, note that you must have Win10 Anniversary update")
- setup RAM >4GB
- setup virtual memory > 16GB
- setup exclusions for AntiVirus software
- make sure that you have no more than 2 card per SATA PSU cable
- use only essential commands  in config/bat file
- avoid using temperature or overclocking settings keys inside config/bat file
- run 1 card only
- use MSI AB to setup up minimal settings - decrease Core clock and memory clock
- if stable add a second card
- reinstall the driver
- setup up minimal settings - decrease Core clock and memory clock
- add more cards one by one
- if running stable on minimal settings increase each parameter one by one
- if stable you may try to overclock it
- use GPU-Z and HW info to monitor the hardware

Post screenshots here. We might notice something odd.

I will try this and get back to you, but this is now weird.

Havent changed anything but some oc in afterburner, 75% Power, 85 temp, -400 core, +400 mem and its been running for 16 hours.
Tried this as well yesterday with a Little modifications and its jsut crashed after a while.

Checking in afterburner, it usually crash when the % Power make a down spike or drop, does anyone know why this happens? Do I need to add more voltage or Power to remove the spikes? Because i guess thats what causes the instability.
Also, spikes usually happens when i get a new job in claymore, maybe it should be like that.

Uploaded image of it, usually its the last gpu that fails. http://imgur.com/a/fJTTt

Edit : In my Control panel, Power management is set to optimal Power by default, is it best to have that or maximum performance?

This spikes are down spikes not up spikes.
When the core is not doing much work there it does not take much power you see it as down spike.
If you suspect the power then follow my advices above related to power. leave other tasks for later.

Have you tried to run it with the driver actually recommended by Claymore? refer to the first page.

[parentibule]

Hi,

When starting claymore, it said that 368.81 drivers are best for perf and compatibility. With them, I have 2 (yes TWO) MH/s on ETH with a 1060 6GB ! With last drivers (384.76), I have 19 MH/s (without OC). So, what the problem with 368.81, supposed to be better?

Thanks.

I'm using 4x gtx 1060, the 9.7 version is unstable btw
mining with 9.6 sometimes getting this error - http://imgur.com/a/tz6YW
anyone? thanks

[TechPark]

Difficulty raised 10% in one day https://etherscan.io/chart/difficulty    Is this the result of Claymore's miners update to version 9.7?

[lestrade]

just updated to v.9.7

Results for my MSI GTX 1070 Armor Dual Mining ETH/SIA:

v. 9.6: 31.1 ETH / 420 SIA MH/s

v. 9.7: 32.4 ETH / 450 SIA MH/s

Nice Job, thanks!

Hi guys. Is my hashrate normal? Im doing eth+sia using one 1060 6gb.
Eth: 20.9MH/s
Sia: 210MH/s

Hey guys, my Eth rig recently went down and tonight I went about troubleshooting. For some reason, it was refusing to power on. Unplugged it all and went for 1x gpu. Powered on booted into Windows fine. Tried 2, works fine.

Now this is where it gets weird. As soon as I plug in another pcie cable to my power supply, the rig refuses to power on. Not just not booting into windows; completely no power. If I plug the powered riser into a 3rd gpu: no power on. A couple times while I was trying different things, it wouldn't even power on for the 2 gpus which worked a minute before. Then (seemingly randomly), it will work again for only 2x gpu.

What I've checked/done: checked all power cables/plugs on mb. Swapped power supplies with a new one.

Any ideas where I should start troubleshooting? I really thought it was my PS, but I can't believe I'd have 2 go out on me. Maybe my MB is going bad?

Rig:
Asrock H81 Pro Btc
evga 1k PSU
5x Sapphire Nitro+ 480x
shitty cpu and 4gb RAM

when that happened to me i had an msi card that was shorted at the peg socket, whenever i plugged the cards  peg connector in the psu would not turn on (shorted VRM?).

check (again) the cards peg connectors as well a the psu sockets and cables for burned/shorted connectors,  and test each card by itself with different psu peg wires/sockets. i know youve already done some of that, but never hurts to check again.

also see if the mobo is maybe flexing when the cards are in it, possibly the mobo traces are grounding?

all the psu cables are for that psu right? different psu can have different cable pinouts even when the plugs match. i accidentally mixed a season and evga psu peg cable and it would not turn on. no damage; i was lucky.

368.81 drivers only for 9xx cards. You have 1060.

please give me more errors please - http://imgur.com/a/Z9sv4

can it be something with libraries, visual studio c++ or drivers?

[Munhenhos]

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 ?

Did you check the power drawing for each card? I've a similar problem and i just notice that one of my cards has power spikes. The others are locked around 55W but one of them goes from 45W to 70W. After a while the system freezes, mouse almost unmovable...etc. I haven't find a solution. Wattmeter says 280W, my PSU is a corsair gold 750W.

Hi,

When starting claymore, it said that 368.81 drivers are best for perf and compatibility. With them, I have 2 (yes TWO) MH/s on ETH with a 1060 6GB ! With last drivers (384.76), I have 19 MH/s (without OC). So, what the problem with 368.81, supposed to be better?

Thanks.

368.81 drivers only for 9xx cards. You have 1060.

Ok, thanks.

[Ayers]

what is now the hashrate on a 1070 or 1080ti with the improved version or nvidia?, it's worth it over amd with the 30% cut in the hashrate, despite the difference in cost? thanks

[notbatman]

So can anyone share their speed on a 560?

Im running 6 rx 560's

Before update:
globalmem 1150
globalcore 1775
dcri 38
------------------
~11.6MH/s Eth and ~220 MH/s Sia
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------

After update:
globalmem 1150
globalcore 1775
dcri 20
------------------
~12.4 MH/s Eth and ~ 248 MH/s Sia
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------

Ethos is now correctly showing my 560's

I got a 1MH/s boost from unlocking the extra cores.







edit:

OK, I've edited the bios with:

unlocked cores,
memory overclocked to 2000,
1500 memory straps copied to 2000.

I'll report back on the results it's a Gigabyte RX460 card , not too much difference from the RX560 I don't think.




edit2:

Doesn't like 2000 it crashed.

[Darwin84]

Does anyone know what the best version is for 7950 and 7970 cards?  Linux

Mine Zcash.

Mining ether on those cards is useless now.

Thanks but I'm not mining, I'm selling and just looking to burn a few cards in .. 

What is Zcash compared to Ether in mining ?  Is it more profitable or any other reason ?

[Darwin84]

the reason I'm asking is because 9.7 keeps on locking up .. I was hoping someone might know if the older version were any better.

[EtaCarinae]

At what eth difficulty to price ratio you think the casual / newb miners will start giving up on mining?

[ciripel1289]

At what eth difficulty to price ratio you think the casual / newb miners will start giving up on mining?

When the day calculation of profit is negative i suppose
