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

[WhackOBill]

Hello guys,

I am experiencing an issue.

I made a new rig with 6 Phantom Gaming D Radeon RX570 8G OC, the memory installed on the cards is Hynix.
They are not bios mod since I wanted to use -strap command directly in Claymore's miner.
I am using Claymore v14.7 miner, with driver 19.4.3 since it is with this driver that Claymore has most tests been performed.

Compute mode ON, with overclocking, I uninstalled and installed the driver in claymore to be able to use -strap command.
And I am mining at 22.5 MHs no matter what -strap I am using.
The strap is applied successfuly : "strap "POL8H1" is applied successfully" on each card.

but the hashrate just refuses to change ! (-rxboost does actually work and allow me to reach 24MHs)

Anyone can help me to get -strap working on my rig and to reach 30+ Mhs per card, maybe by also changing the OC settings?

I will give to the one who provides me with a solution 100$ worth of Ethereum Classic.

I'd suggest running @eliovp's AMDMemTweak tool to see if the strap settings are getting the modifications.  Run it without -strap first and note some of the values (tCL, etc) and then run it with -strap to see if indeed they are being applied.  There a thread in Mining (Altcoins) just for this program and the executable is up on GitHub.

Hi community!

Please help me yo understand what am i doing wrong.

I decided to lower powereat of my rig. Before everything CM 14.7 shows something like 90W GPU power consumption. Totoal about 360 on 4 GPUs rig. Okey. Wattmeter show 620 Watt at the wall. 1st WTF.
After a lot of work and experiments i managed to lower core and memory waltages to about 850 , lowered mem clock and etc. Now CM shows 55-57 watt per GPU , it suits info that shows HWinfo about GPU chip power ( so lets say in miner should be "GPU chip power consumption"). BUT...... WTF at the wattmerer i see almost the same 600 Watt , in miner i see "Total GPUs power consumption: 225 Watts"

Where Am i wrong ?

Best Regards.

you should not expect to see proper power consumption numbers from software especially on AMD.

I did it and with -strap 1 I am getting only 20.2MHs per card..

sorry, didin said cards type - rx 470 4g.  Isnt it a little to big power  consumption for only 4 cards and other suff ? i suppose 4*90=360+60 the rest+*1.1 PSU not efficiensy = 430 Watt.
It seems something wrong going on

You're in windows correct? PLEASE refer to my post you WILL get 33 to 34 Mhs with that configuration. AMDmemTweak is a different forum, as much as i love the tool, and love that it was the tool that prompted Claymore to update, but this is a claymore forum. lets keep this to claymore.

Ensure you are in compute mode in wattman. just enabling compute in the command string does not necessarily kick the driver into compute mode. You need to go into the wattman and change it from graphic to compute.

You forgot to add the fan's of the video cards. In every software they are showing you the GPU consumption, but you have to add 30-50 W for the fans / each GPU. Now if you do the math again, it's there ~ 600W. A good kill-a-watt is never wrong

NEVER take software voltage value on RX. The only true value is at wall.
600W for 4 cards, it's a little high.
Your estimated 90w is wrong, 110-120w is more "acceptable" on ETH.
So 120*4+60 *1.1 give 594w ...
Check if your voltage is correctly applied.

Already seen you wrote that, please stop with your 30-50w for fans ...
1 fan may use 0.5A, so it's 6w when it's running at 100% ...

And what about the Micron? Also is this for the 4gb or 8gb?

I've been doing this for my 8gb Micron and get ~27.5 @ 88w:
Core 1000
Memory 2000
mvddc 900
cvddc 900

My Hynix gets ~27.4 @ 84w

If I'm not mistaken...
Micron you set to strap 3
Hynix you set to strap 1
... for an extra ~5% more.

I'd suggest running @eliovp's AMDMemTweak tool to see if the strap settings are getting the modifications.  Run it without -strap first and note some of the values (tCL, etc) and then run it with -strap to see if indeed they are being applied.  There a thread in Mining (Altcoins) just for this program and the executable is up on GitHub.

What's wrong ??

It looks like the -strap command in Claymore is not being applied since both of the views in the AMDMemTweak tool seem to show the same data.  So even though he's reporting that the strap was successful, the AMDMemTweak tool seems to show that it was not.  Which is why you're not getting a reasonable hash rate ... you're getting the same for both no -strap and -strap 1.

What version of Windows are you on?  I've had trouble with Win10 release 1903 similar to this.

And you have 1 fan / GPU? )
Another thing, how much a 4 card Rx470 rig should burn? If you say 600W is much...

Didn't listen him. He think that fans can consume 30-50W. F.e. RX 460 card has 1 fan and consumes about 75Wt. If he right half of it - fan )))
1 Fan consumes about 3-7Wt of power. Even 3 fans max power will be not more than 20W.

Just follow Cryptobadger's guide, you should get there, or close, especially if you want it stable.

Well, your calcs is a little wrong. As written on each fan it consumes 12DC 0.5 A , so its 6 W each fan *3 fans = 18 Watt , on 4 GPUs rig it'll be about 80watt more to whole power eating. So its not 600 Watt overall.  There is something i miss.

Ok, 80+360 = 440 then you have CPU, then you have fan of the CPU, then you have RAM, MB and so on.... all these things burn around 80 W, more or less depending the settings, temperature, etc... and now comes the naysayers telling me it's not 80W.
I agree, you can fine tune it and maybe squeeze 50W or so but you will see it's not stable.

running at around 850mv and producing 28-30MH (1090-1160MHz core and around 2000 mem) it should be consuming 120-125W per GPU. Also the system should bot be above 60W and could be as low as 20-30W if its 14nm, so your total should be about 540-550W. Use HWinfo to see what are the actual voltages and clocks applied
EDIT: 30W for the system if it's 14nm celeron

[RAKOT]

Hello people! Thank everyone for sharing thoughts and info. I think its more like the real power consumption is at 550W like Ursul0 said. Lowered to 850 mV 1100/2000 clocks eats 110 around each card. Plus 60-70 W the rest of rig. So, 110*4+70= 510. Correct it with 80 bronze PSU and vuala, its 560Watt. F.k , i dreamed to tune money saving rig .
For decide isnt wattmeter not lieing me,i ve measured the current on power cable and saw 2.47 A , well, 2.47*230= 568 Watt.
Thats it.
Again , thanks a lot.


P.S. maybe it make sense to look at 1066 ? I meen to save money on power cost ?
