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

[Vann]

Here's a question:
If my biggest and main problem with mining is heat, whats the best way to lower the heat from GPUs?
Should I use lower clocks, is there a command line which tells the miner to mine slower/less intense...?
I'm willing to sacrifice the hash speed for lower temps.
Thanks!

I dual mine which generates a lot of heat. I find lowering the power limit has the biggest effect on lowering temperatures and power usage, while affecting hash rate the least. Next is undervolting the core and the least effect on lowering temperatures is adjusting the clock speed, which also affects the hash rate the most compared to adjusting the power limit and undervolting.

Otherwise you can also lower the temperature by increasing the airflow to dissipate the air around the rig. I use a box fan which is cheap and does a good job.

lower clock will reduce has at the same time- if you are fine with it
command line for reducing intensity - see Page 1

When can we get a Claymore NeoScrypt version for Linux?

[slymbal007]

Success here too, however all is not well just yet.

First, thanks for the stale shares fix on Ethermine, and the 1.5% improvement on hashrate.. We went from 4% to 1% stale shares and 5540 to 5625 MH/s (191 GPUs).

However, every hour (dev fee) there seems to be an issue where random rigs stop mining. Prior to 11.x I had roughly 10-12 days without downtime. This was still happening after upgrading to 11.4. Someone in ethOS chat mentioned that this is related to the new SSL stratum connection. After reverting to the old non-SSL port, the issue went away. So, if anyone is experiencing random mining stoppage, I would suggest you do the same.

Working great now! But, we need a reliable SSL connection. This was a great idea, and I look forward to being able to use it reliably in the future.

Can anybody help me with ethermine.org pool? I had not found the way to run Claymore with this pool.

Use own wallet address please.
Not sure why yours is not working,i am not dual mining anymore,since it's not really cost effective for me anymore.

Idunno what's with all the whining, v11.4 runs great.

Modded RX 580 Gaming X 8G getting 30.8 Mh/s ETH & 1.175 Gh/s XVG on Win 10, beta drivers with semi-conservative Claymore settings.
Using MSA to set fans at 38% for ~51c on all cards (plus 12V fans blowing through the GPUs), 68F ambient temperature.

Could dial things up or down for more or less power/hashes but things are solid, cool, and fast enough. Will tweak things again later.
Should be able to lower wattage by 10 to 15W or bump things up and get 31.25 Mh/s ETH, 1.3 Gh/s XVG and still be stable with reasonable temps but MEH, whatever.
(ETH only = 31.25 Mh/s all day long at -mclock 2200 -dcri 8, 48c, 30% fan. -mclock 2225 will do 31.5 but was slightly unstable after 10 hours.)

For me, like others, lots of incorrect shares on dual mining (4% for me is a lot!). Reverted to 11.1 and I have zero incorrects. Hope this will be fixed soon or I will just do solo mining, maybe giving a try to Phoenix

[asb1321]

Hi all,

Not sure why miner can't connect to DCR when dual mining.


I get the message:

DCR: Stratum - cannot connect to yiimp.ccminer.org:3252
DCR: Stratum - failed to connect try in 20 second

and it keep repeating the same.

ETH is mining perfectly.

Anyone one knows the reason please let me know.

Thanks

[Metroid]

I am moving to Phoenix too, dual mining becomes unprofitable, miner is unstable, devfee is huge for Claymore.

I really hope claymore will lower its devfee overall because phoenix miner is much better overall right now and its devfee is 35% lower.

Hello everyone
I wanted to know if your antivirus was not alarmed by Claymore's latest executable.
This is the first time I have this kind of detection, I got the client on Bitcointalk on the Claymore post, both Mega and Googledrive.
I sent the report on the total virus and it shows me this kind of analysis, nothing reassuring

Dear @Claymore

Can you tell me is it normal that I have so different total hashrate? What is the problem? Claymore miner or my GPUs?

I am moving to Phoenix too, dual mining becomes unprofitable, miner is unstable, devfee is huge for Claymore.

I really hope claymore will lower its devfee overall because phoenix miner is much better overall right now and its devfee is 35% lower.

My take on the two miners

I was a Phoenix fan. Ran it for few a few months.
It is good.
Solid miner.
Hash rate was higher.
Dev fee was lower.

However since I started testing Claymore again starting with v 11.3 and now 11.4

It is good.
Solid Miner.
Hash rate the same or even higher for me than Phoenix now.
Feature rich miner, far more detailed features than Phoenix at present.
Just the setting for temp and clocking alone is far better.
Much lower stale share rate by a large factor than Phoenix.
Claymore fixing the stale share rate alone paid for my 1% dev fee they charge.

Gotta give the nod to Claymore at this time.
These are my experiences and my opinions, you're testing may be different than mine.

[peterboy1]

nah, save the hassle. reverted back to v11

no matter what i do with downclocking, i always get random incorrect shares. i dont know whats up with this higher hashrates on latest claymores, but its randomly throwing me a lot of incorrect shares.

[cryptoillusion1]

I am using a modded BIOS and have core voltage = -43mv in afterburner
I want to use Claymore for controlling this and wish to use -cvddc
However I am unsure how to translate the -43mv in AB to claymore- since there are differing voltages at different core clock in the bios whereas in claymore only one voltage is entered.

My bios voltages are as below

MHZ   mV
300   750
588   850
900   850
950   840
980   850
1000   860
1050   870
1100   890
1150   900

It looks Claymore prefers AMD over NVIDIA when doing optimizations. Latest v11.4 on Nvidias is not good. Yeah, stable, but lower overall accepted hashrate on pool. Back to ethminer...

Agreed about AMD cards. But I tested Phoenix and ethminer today. Phoenix is too slow. Ethminer is more stable, but has less hasrate then Claymore. Thinking about ethminer. May be will run it in one day to see result. But now I'm still using Claymore 10.6.

Ethminer for my nvidia rigs is the best. Very stable and consistent hashrate, no drops like Claymore. And my accepted hasrate on pool is quite always above my reported. But need more time to tweek gpus memory, what is good for Claymore and Phoenix, is not good for ethminer = neccessary to find new frequencies.

I'm willing to sacrifice the hash speed for lower temps.
Thanks!

I know others have given some answers on this.
I use this a normal starting point for adjusting my rig.
These are the first tings you should have done.


1st - Make minor voltage decreases in both clocks. Memory and GPU. Separately, adjust them one at a time.
Test it. See what the temp is when mining by using a utility like GPU-Z.
If you get to low the board will stop working.
Keep adjusting to lower the temp.

Try setting the  -eth value to 8 to start, then lower it down one number at a time when testing.
This adjusts the intensity. It will lower the hash rate, but lower numbers will make the GPU run cooler.

Make settings similar to these in the config file.
Your numbers will vary from what mine are shown here.


-tt 67                      # Sets desired temp for a GPU
-ttli 72                    # Sets the max temp for a GPU before miner automatically starts reducing intensity. This will allow the GPU to run a little cooler but still keep running.
-tstop 75                 # Turn GPU off if this temp is reached until the temp gets to the value in -tstart, then start it up again
-tstart 65                # Temp to start mining again if -tstop temp was reached

Be patient It's takes some time and work to fine tune your rig.
If you didn't do testing and monitoring like the above then you probably didn't set it up correctly from the beginning.

[Roadrage68]

I need a little help guys. I have one AMD card (will be adding more) to my 7 card Nidvia rig. I only want to use Claymore for the AMD card. This is my bat file, but it's still running all the cards. Can someone tell me what I need to do to tweak it?

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

-di 0

Insert -di 0 into config.txt

Seems to have done it. Thanks again.

Yeah, it's still reading all cards. I don't get  it.

Couldn't you add this to single out AMD cards?   "-platform 1"
