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

[IncludeBeer]

Hi Claymore!

At first - seems that it some built-in temp hysteresis parameter, what was set to 4 degr. At example on my rig, when tt limit set to 65 degr., and temp reach this value, fan begin work on 100%. And it continue working on 100%, till temp downs to 61 degr. It would be fine, if there were active option for temp hysteresis, which user can set manually for better configuration rigs.
And second: are you planning to add static interface, like cgminer or sgminer? When I looking on moving, from down to top, lines with different colours, I worry that I will get epileptic fit . But seriously, moving lines is anachronism from standart ethminer. It's time to make normal static interface.

Static interface would be nice!!!

Honestly, I prefer the scrolling

I would prefer static interface, though currently I like Claymore better than Genoil, it has colors, and better formatting, perhaps it could be an option?  Or some sort of hybrid static/scrolling.

Am I doing something wrong? I see many people here running 6 X RX480 on the BTC PRO MB and Win7 and Win10, I have the same setup using powered risers and with 6 cards can't even get to post. Most I got working is 4 cards. I have the MB running 295 X2 GPU, 3 of them for a total of 6 GPU's fine, but no dice with the 480's. Am I missing something?

Are you using powered risers?  They are needed if running more than 2... maybe 3 cards.  The MB can only supply ~150W to PCIe slots.  Cards can draw up to 75W from the slot (though 66W or less is more recommended...).  It would be an issue, especially if using 6 pin rather than 8 pin PCIe power connector 480s.

Yep, all 6 cards are using powered risers. 2 risers per SATA PSU cable. Using a EVGA 1600. I've used these risers on 295x2 so I know the risers are good. Same MB and risers rig, just 480 cards. Will not post so can't even troubleshoot further.

How many GPU's do you have on device manager and what are their status?

I can only boot into windows with 4 CPUs plugged into MB, I see all 4. But when adding a 5th or 6th on the MB, fails to post. does not even get to load windows. No post. I tried win10, win7 and even EthOS which is linux based. Same symptoms, will not post with more then 4 GPUs. I even tried the H97 Anniversary MB, same thing, best I can get is 4 cards.

So you got 6 x16-x1 risers? Have you tried x16-x16 riser if you got one? i got a gigabyte mb which recognized all 6 cards if two of them are installed directly to mb or using x16-x16 riser. A bug or feature, don't know.

Yep, using 6 x x16-x1 powered risers, the H81 BTC Pro MB only has on x16 on board and if i place a card directly in the slot then it covers one of the X1 slots. I don't have a x16 to x16 riser to test, but guess I'll order a couple to try. Just pissed, have 6 480's sitting around doing nothing and diff is shooting up daily!

That said, looked on Amazon for a x16 to x16 and they all have shit reviews, not a single one looks good, people saying it has shit contacts and a few fired the MB.

Any recommendations on a quality x16 to x16 riser?

Claymore, great job...  newest version of your miner works with an old AMD 5850 with 1gb of ram (gpu1).. very low scores but im impressed that it havent crash my computer yet...

PPOC, try just reset the mb bios and play with gen1-2-3 settings in bios, it seems to be a common problem with h81 btc
personally i use very old x16-x16 risers left from litecoin epoch several years ago...

Your 5850 is a 2GB card. You can't mine etherum with 1GB cards.

What are you guys getting hash rate wise for NVIDIA 1070 dual mining with SIA using Claymore?

I'm still experimenting, right now I have it at 26.7 mh/s for ETH with 715mh/s for SIA. EVGA FTW card.

[dagarair]

I just got in 6 x MSI 480 Gaming X 8 GB Cards.  Quickly installed them and newest drivers 16.8.2 and show:

ETH / SIA or DCR -  24.5mh and 370 SIA/DCR on default intensity and 1300 Watts at the plug.  

ETH / SOLO - 24.5 1170 Watts at plug

What setting do you use on your 480 to undervolt those to a stable undervolt?  Like I said I just got them so don't know how they will react =)

Thanks!

Your 5850 must have 2gb of RAM, with 1gb it would be impossible to mine.

Claymore, how much can i expect from gtx 1080? i'm wonder what to buy for gaming rig

I had the same problem on H97 anniversary.  The fix was to install Windows in UEFI mode and its been smooth sailing since.

Watch those 16x-16x. I just fried a vid card with one of those.  Luckily it was a cheapo I used just to setup Windows.  I suggest to do what I had to do with the Msi.  load one card at a time. Rebooting between each card.  Also what vid connection are you using   For mine I had to connect a special monitor plug to it. Lookup on Amazon. They are from compulab "display emulator". Get the hdmi version and connect monitor to the dvi connection of same card or the card that is in the 16x slot.  Those mobo will work with a 1x-16x in the 16x slot.

gtx 1080 is not good for ETH the memory  is GDDR5X it does not work well on ETH (half speed cause of the memory architecture)   but it will rock for games my opinion if you want to do both buy a 1070 especially gigabyte G1

Gigabyte made worst 1070, i had two and returned them because of NOISE.

Depends on card, I have 2 Sapphire 470s (4GB and 8GB), and they are both stable at 0.955v.  To get under 1v, I also have to lower memory voltage.  I have an Power Color Red Devil 470, it is more around 0.97, it varies between 0.97 and 1.0v, I have it set at 1.03v, I guess they handle the voltage differently.  So it depends on card.  480 would probably be similar.  So I would start at around 1.03v, and see from their, when computer locks up, add about 30mv and test for stability, press s while mining to check for incorrect shares.  Also I use ~40-60 DCRI, maybe higher for a 480, my first one I just ordered so I don't know yet.  I get 24.3/450 with sia, and dcri 38 on a 470.  I get about 160-170W at the wall per card.
