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

[golden0707]

But why is that ? Why different values ?

Different ASIC quality. Each individual GPU chip has its voltage level needed to maintain a set frequency.
It is also called "silicon lottery".

Maybe there is some way to level it right. Set different core voltage to each GPU according to it influence to core mV ?

P.S. Im using same settings to all GPUs, koz they are the same.

Set voltages for P-states and for memory through Wattool (if you are using AMD 16.x drivers) or OverdriveNTool (for AMD 17.xx drivers) or mvddc/cvddc commands in Claymore.
Even if all GPUs are the same model, have exactly the same memory chips, they will behave differently - the voltage and power draw will differ.

Okay, after 3 months of mining during the last couple weeks rig has been freezing and the last line of the log file indicates:

GPU got incorrect temperature 511 ignore

Thoughts?

I got this error when one of the fans on an RX580 failed. I don't know how long it was running with one failed fan but when I noticed the failed fan the card was very very hot !

In that case, the temperature was so high that the card itself couldn't measure it and that's why you got GPU got incorrect temperature 511.
That's my guess.

No, the card didn't respond - so it returned an code meaning invalid, which is what you see.

Hey Wolf0 do you think this is a failing riser issue? I kinda ruled that out already because it takes days before this happen. I believe if it's a failing riser it would kinda happen right away?

I hate to think this is a GPU issue as they're barely 4 months old.

Make sure Windows didn't update the drivers automatically. On Windows 10 Pro you can set Windows Update to not include drivers. Type 'gpedit' in the search box and in the Group Policy Editor navigate to Administrative Templates ==> Windows Components ==> Windows Update and set 'Do not include drivers with Windows Update' to enabled.

Good man, thanks for sharing this! Appreciated.

but claymore what did he do? I do not see him for a while, and disappeared?

I have a problem. I have a 6x rig with Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB, using Win10 and the mining driver. GPU0 have 30,5 MH/s and the other 5 cards run at 28 MH/s. I using a start.bat, wich executed (with the highest privileges) by the task planer from win10. It works with 780W from the wall. Why does GPU0 run faster than the others?
I tried to start the start.bat manually via remote desktop and run as an administrator and get all cards at 30,5 MH/s. Clocks are always the same, but the power consumption raise up to 980W from the wall (-cvddc and -mvddc doesnt work).

What can i do?  

[quochuan29]

I have 3 RX580 4GB and they have been mining at 29 mh/s for almost 2 months now. I didn't see a drop nor and increase.

GPU mining wont be profitable soon, save up and wait for FPGA/ASIC. They will be expensive.

ASIC D3 seller tell me that 150$/day but when i got it 2x$/day and will be 1x in next month...

The problem with Asics is they are far over priced for the hardware that is inside and by the time you get yours another 10,000 other people got theirs and the difficulty sky rockets from where it was when you priced and did your ROI calculations

GPU is still profitable, atm the issue is the up coming Bitcoin Fork, it is driving people to sell all their alt coins to hold Bitcoin in hopes to gain free coins in the form of bitcoin gold. Similar happened with the Bitcoin cash fork, coins bounced back however. After the fork however be prepared for a possible plunge in Bitcoin prices as the current drive up in price is due to the same reason as the fall in alt coin prices

Hi. So I bought 8 vega 56 to make a rig, thinking it would be no different than a 1080ti rig.
I can only get 5 cards to work on asus z270-a, the rest are not recognised, and sometimes a 6th comes up with problems in device manager only disappear at the next reboot. very strange.

Do you know what motherboard/driver etc can get 6+ cards running on windows ?

On linux I couldn't even boot with more than 3 cards, it would give me some pci express errors.

Also, what miner works with vega on linux with the 17.40 + rocm drivers ? or is there any way to enable old opencl for vega ?

Please advise. thanks.

Don't know much about AMD much but try this: Mobo bios settings for this build are:  1->>Sistem Agent(SA)Configuration->Above 4G Decoding>> Enable
                                                  2->>DMI/OPI Configuration->DMI Max Link Speed>>Gen2
                                                  3->>Peg Port Configuration->PCIEX 16_1 Link Speed>>Gen2
                                                  4->>PCH Configuration->>PCIe Speed>>Gen2
                                                  5->>Onboard Devices Configuration->>HD Audio Controler->Disabled
                                                                                                 ->>M.2_1 Configuration->Auto
The card is connected to the farther M2 slot from CPU
 This are my settings on Asus mobo running 8 NVIDIA GTX 1070 FE 32.100 MH/s, but make sure you use the M2 adapter on amazon->>Explomos M.2 Key Wink

Also hook them one by one and update driver individually /make sure risers are working/ psu can handle / 8gb ram minimum/ win up to date. thats pretty myuch what you can do , just make sure you install them in windows and update drivers one by one / leave the m2 adapter for the last.

Is there any way i can set "my def fee" for the people i am building rig for?

For example every 9 minutes there is happens wallet swap for 1 min and then again to the normal wallet?

Hi.

I have some Volta V100's. A few...actually.

I've found CM10 does not seem to understand SM20 compute devices.

What do you need to make CM10 work with V100?

PS: No, I can't give you a V100 - but I can help you with logs/error outputs, if that is of some use to you.

Thank you.

I personally think that if you're building a rig of 8 or more GPUs, the sensible options are to get mining-specific mobo like BTC Pro, Asrock H110 or Asus Mining Expert. Expecting the two M.2 adapters (or one!) would work smoothly without problems is just a gamble.

Can you still return the Asus Prime mobo?

Why would you want to change dev fee address to your address when you're not the one who coded and developed the miner?

Given that you've build the rigs for your customers, wouldn't it be better if you just sell them at a profit? (which I think is what you're doing unless you're on to becoming a charity and/or a saint)

I am not changing dev fee, i want to set additional fee for me. The second fee.

There is a way you could do it - I'm thinking of it right now - but unless you are up-front about it to your customers this could be classed as theft (effectively installing a virus on there computer), and anyway they would soon find out and then the s**t would hit the fan.

I using a start.bat, wich executed (with the highest privileges) by the task planer from win10. It works with 780W from the wall. Why does GPU0 run faster than the others?

Could it be that the clocks differ on the other cards, and the 1 GPU hits your config.

I tried to start the start.bat manually via remote desktop and run as an administrator and get all cards at 30,5 MH/s. Clocks are always the same, but the power consumption raise up to 980W from the wall (-cvddc and -mvddc doesnt work).

What can i do?  

it is imperative in Claymore that the more hashrate the more power consumption occur. so I guess this is normal

Thanks for reply. Ive used to use AB but apparently should look at those soft also.

[Realetim]

I have a 470 colorful 4G card with is hotter than others 10*c now i low mem and core . Should i re_mod that card ?

You can just reduce the voltage.

They are totally fine with it, cos they are my irl friends.
What idea you are thinking about?
Is there any options exactly like dev fee? I was thinking about 2 .bats and windows task manager with delayed start, but i think that there will be missing much H/s.

if it starts automatically at startup:
Clocks are all the same. CPU Core Clock 1130, GPU Memory Clock 2150, cpu and mem voltages are 850mv on all cards (GPU-Z) | 780W from wall
GPU0 29.990 Mh/s, GPU1 27.928 Mh/s, GPU2 27.911 Mh/s, GPU3 27.916 Mh/s, GPU4 27.930 Mh/s, GPU5 27.975 Mh/s

if i start the bat file manually via remote:
clocks are the same: 1130 core, 2150 mem but voltage now differ GPU0 830mv, GPU1 850mv, GPU2 970mv, GPU3 930mv, GPU4 930mv, GPU5 970mv | 900W from wall and cant adjust the voltage via afterburner (i can choose -70mv but GPU-Z show me no change)
GPU0 29.979 Mh/s, GPU1 30.067 Mh/s, GPU2 30.007 Mh/s, GPU3 30.055 Mh/s, GPU4 30.004 Mh/s, GPU5 30.021 Mh/s

v.10 sets correct clocks and voltage for wattman with the last two non-blockchain (drivers 2017.10.20 and the one from september), but then it throttles down upon full startup to 40% less GPU clock while keeping specified voltage values. Then upon exit, I can see in wattman the system maintains the correct OC values specified upon miner startup that the miner itself did not use.

All test were done by using all four specs for GPU and mem clocks+voltages due to mixed results in OCing without increased voltages being specified as noted in thread.

I have had no success in running stable the blockchain driver with and without any OC. The miner does start, I do see a north of ETH 5Mhs increases, but then it freezes my system. I've had very low li/lidag/ethi/dcri values with that driver and still the system keeps on crashing. Vega64 under windows obviously.

Thanks for all the great work, miner looks sweet!

I am using the Robin Hood drivers + Claymore 10 + Windows 7 on a mix GPU RIG - Rig consists of 4 cards
MSI ARMOR RX 570 4GB     cclock 1175 mclock 2100 cvddc 900 mvddc 900   30.1Eth 67.0LBR         Dcri 20

I switched this rig over to the Robinhood drivers from basic drivers 3 weeks ago as I wanted to switch  back to Ethereum from Music coin for a while. Since the switch 3 weeks ago I had to restart once due to the GTX 1060 freezing the system after a few days with mem set to +950.
At the wall on the meter the system is pulling a total of 595 watts dual mining.

Note: When I start up claymore for the first time, I wait till I see the first set of hash rates then I close claymore and rerun Claymore to get the proper hashrates. The very first instance of Claymore both my 570 and 580 will report 19mh Eth but closing and reopening Claymore corrects this.
