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

[jimmykl]

Hi guys! I am planning to set-up a PC miner here's my specs below:
 Core i3 processor
 4GB memory
 2GB video card Nvidia gt730

is this specs good for mining or not?

Not for ethereum. You need at least 3GB on your card. CPU is overkill for mining too.

Hello, I wanted to know if 10.2 is the latest version or is it 2017?

Hi,

I often encounter the "Temperature control thread hangs, need to restart miner!"

Appreciate anyone to help..

would you know what causing this and how to prevent it? as I am loosing time in mining due to restarting.

Thank you!

Try to lower your clocks,

post your GPU hardware types and your existing clock configurations in order to help you more

Include also your OS and drivers your are using

My Details are:

Aferburner: 1070 Seahawk, i5-4460 3.2GHz, 8GB RAM
         Power limit  - 65%
         Temp limit  - 80 c
         Core Clock  - 0
         Mem Clock  - +650
         Fan Speed   - Auto
Im using WIN10 Enterprise - 64bit, Nvidia driver is 388.59, virtual memory is 16384 for both initial and maximum

heres how my .bat file looks like

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
_______________________________________________________________________________ _

Before when I was using the older claymore (10.0) and Win10 Home 64bit I didnt encounter this problem. Should I insert "-wd 0" to disable watchdog? will it still be safe when disabling watchdog?

Thank you!

Try to lower the mem clock at +500, increase your virtual mem to 16,000MB initial and 30,000MB max are you using Risers? if yes, try to replace them.

If you have multiple GPU, try to install single GPU only unto 16xPCIE slot for troubleshooting purpose.

Disabling -wd wont help, it will also freeze your system when GPU fails, I would suggest to look for the root cause of your problem.

If still wont work, try to reinstall ladrivers

I changed my mem clock to 0 and increased the page file. I don't use risers and have a single GPU connected to 16xPCIE. Updated with new drivers 388.59. And I still encounter "Temperature control thread hangs, need to restart miner!"

Apprently when Im mining ZEC and using EWBF miner I have no issues. I think 10.2 is bugged unless I am still doing something wrong in my configuations thats causing the error. Goona try reverting to 10.0. Question: Do I lose some performance issues when I revert back to 10.0? Difference of 10.0 with 10.2?

Appreciate yout help!
Thank yuo!

Hi guys and gals!  New to mining and cc in general.  Followed instructions to setup a rig to mine Eth, but am getting a fatal error that I do not know how to fix.  I have searched through the forums, but have found the OTHER error I was getting (fans not detected).  Found out this was my Gigabyte GTX980ti cards that don't turn fans on until a certain temp.  That has been fixed with their OC app.  Now I am getting the following error:

Hi,

Im running 2 x gigabyte rx 580 xtr 8gb oc cards, and have noticed the variables passed to claymore dont take effect on the second card. Is this common?

For example, ive tried this line (assuming same values should be applied to all cards?)
 
-cclock 1200 -mclock 2200 -cvddc 900 -mvddc 900

then tried this

-cclock 1200,1200 -mclock 2200,2200 -cvddc 900,900 -mvddc 900,900 (to assign each card specifically) and same thing happens both times.

My primary card gets the values set, but secondary just uses the default or the afterburner settings

Im mining dual eth + decred, tried claymore 10.1 and 10.2, win10 machine, and radeon driver - Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23

Any ideas on what it might be?

Try to delete afterburner.
Also I would recommend to ddu drivers and install 17.11.1 (nov 2) drivers and set settings to Compute.
Run claymore and see if its good, then install afterburner.

Thanks mate,

Have just tried radeon adrenaline 17.12.1 with compute setting on. without afterburner installed, claymore's doesnt change any settings now. including mem/core clock speeds? i tried 17.11.1 initially, however i was getting about 6mh lower than with the blockchain drivers.

Thanks

Hello, I wanted to know if 10.2 is the latest version or is it 2017?

10.2 is current version, please check the first post in the thread.

[entity279]

Hey, has anyone else here encountered problems with OverdriveN tool? I'm having RX 580s..

Even if i use a profile that only reduces powerlimit (to say , -25 %), what I get in Claymore is all cards hovering arount ~1000 Mhz.

If I reset the card's settings in wattman, set the power limit from there to -25%, mining is ok, frequencies of GPUS are in the 1150-1250 range

Do you know of a place where issues such as this one are discussed?

[Victorio]

2GB video card Nvidia gt730

is this specs good for mining or not?

No. You can technically mine some algos, but it's useless from a profit POV.
nVidia GT 730 has 3 to 8 times less raw performance than the cheapest cards used in mining - nVidia GTX 1050Ti (that earn 0.8-1.6$ per day).

Hi, have any solution? thanks

Two possible solutions
1. Hardware upgrade, please check for cards with video memory at least bigger then 3Gb, better do you research for most profitable cards
2. Try different algo, ex. cryptonote (different miner needed, not possible with Claymore 10.2 miner)

[angryargie]

I don't if this is normal, the GPU which I have a display attached to has serious issues dual mining even with drci intensity to 15, it just can't keep up. I have a rx460 unlocked bios I normally get 13mhs (on the second gpu which is not connected to a display I get full speed), but the other one connected to a display I get 10/9 mhs dual mining I have to decrease intensity for such amount that it doesn't make sense dual mining on this gpu, I just disable decred on this gpu and crank a little the other one that has no problems.

You haven't stated your OC.
The primary GPU may lose up to 5-7% of its performance, if the monitor is active. Dual mining requires fine tuning the voltages, especially for Decred. Try to set mem and core voltage at 900-950 mV and play with -ethi, -dcri.

[Victorio]

Hi, have any solution? thanks

Your card won't mine Ethereum or Ethereum Classic.
You are limited to the rest of Dagger forks, disabling the fee: -nofee 1, or mining Expanse: -allcoins exp.

17.11.1 with compute settings gives exact same hashrate + more stable than blockchain drivers (at least for me).
what you have to do is: after restarting the rig run claymore, check hashrate, close claymore, run claymore again, and wuala - you got fine hashrate.

Hello,

Trying to set up multi gpu system.

8 NVIDIA 1050's and 5 AMD RX470's on Asrock H110.

Was working well with 8+1 but after adding the last 4 the miner now hangs on startup.
Tried versions 9.7 thru 10.2, no luck.

Is there a claymore GPU limitation I am missing?  All cards are installed properly in windows and patched blockchain drivers for the AMD.

The nvidia are a bit older drivers but seem to have the best luck with them for many months.(newer ones were not stable).

I tried the -gser settings but just delayed the hang.

Claymore loads the AMD cards, and them pauses, then eventually locks the entire computer.

Any ideas? 

Thanks so much!  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Yep. Claymore supports 10 GPUs max. Try running claymore for the 470s and ewbf (equihash) for the 1050s - you'll make more that way anyhow
