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

[Eliovp]

Could you please release a miner that will only mine solo with the eth proxy for a reasonable upfront cost.
d57heinz

To all:
Please don't ask me to create some private miner, sell some customized version of the miner, etc - I don't do such things.
Also please don't try to hire me to help with some mining farm, to create some miner for some coin, etc - I just don't have time for it.

@d57heinz

Latest sgminer wolf0 did.. Like every other sgminer version, an API is built in, so monitoring/managing can be done with open source/freeware tools.
Plus! Yeah, sgminer is even faster on Hawaii cards.

Yeah, there are no fancy colors included in the cmd/terminal window of sgminer .. true..

So I got an H81 BTC PRO board, currently 2x 1060s, 480, 2x 470.  Can only use 4 GPUs at a time, Win7 sees all, but 1 will be inactive.  Does the 6 gpu mod for Win7 work with Polaris cards?  I can switch the 1060s with more 470s if I need to.

Also, is undervolting supported on Linux currently?  This is a huge feature since I can save ~150w+ for the rig going from 1150mv to ~960-1000mv, and get better boost clocks.  Is EthOS easy to use CDM?

windows has resource issues after four cards, so disable the HD audio controllers or HD audio buses under the systems down arrow and restart.
Ethos doesn't support Nvidia cards, so that's an issues for your build.

[eBit]

Claymore, will you be looking at zcash - equihash to see if you can put out a GPU miner?

Disabling audio didn't help, but disabling Intel GPU lets me mine with all 5 cards after restart, thanx.  Hopefully I can get 6 working when my next pack of risers arrives.

For EthOS, or Ubuntu or whatever, I can switch with other rigs, so I could have 6 470s.  I was just wondering about undervolting.

Huh, well at least you have the important ones working.  In the bios did you disable all non essentials like com ports, onboard audio, etc... ?

[Unisonal]

Claymore, will you be looking at zcash - equihash to see if you can put out a GPU miner?

I second that. I think it is very important for the smaller miners to have access to a good miner in the early stage.

Right now I don't have any plans to create that miner.

rx 480 under linux support is dropped in 6.4 and 7.0 versions.

I'm getting:

Now I'm using 6.3 version.

Read OP or Readme, "COMMAND LINE OPTIONS" section:

-etha   Ethereum algorithm mode. 0 - optimized for fast cards, 1 - optimized for slow cards, 2 - for gpu-pro Linux drivers. -1 - autodetect (default, automatically selects between 0 and 1).
   You can also set this option for every card individually, for example "-etha 0,1,0".

PS. In next update miner will set "-etha 2" automatically if Linux+4xx detected.

I was not able to run 6 cards ( rx480 ) with windows 7 at all . 4 was running ok , 5 had some stability issue , 6 never worked ... Tried everything Switched to win 10 , everything working fine . Installed WIN 10 ( disabled all updates , all automatic downloads ) , Intel Inf Utility , and rx 480 driver . With default settings all card hashing with 24.7 MH/s taking 1100 watts at wall ( 120 V ) , Then i "underclocked" my cards ( power limit , gpu speed - voltage , mem voltage ) ,    power usage at the wall become around 750Watts without pushing the default mem clock higher , with the same 24.7 Mh/s . Saved 350Watts per rig around 700watts ( with my 2 setup in the same frame) Used wattman for underclocking .

 

Built a 12 cards ETH Miner , with 12 RX 480 / 2 asrock h97 anniversary Mobo , left a place in the middle for a additional micro itx board and 4 more cards Still try to find a  stable mem overclocking settings .

Guys,

I'm facing some stability problems in both my rigs  

RIG specs:
Asrock H81 Pro BTC
8 GB RAM + 16 GB Pagefile
6 x Sapphire RX 480 Nitro + OC 4GB
USB Powered Risers
2 x Corsair RM850X

Software:
Windows 10 x64
AMD drivers 16.9.1

Miner Settings:
Claymore v6.4
-dcri 25
-ethi 16

Stock settings:

GPU: 1305 MHz, 1150 mV
Mem: 1750 MHz, 1000 mV

Speed per card: 22.1 MHs ETC, 276 MHs SC
Power per card: ~130W (GPU-Z)

Underclock:

GPU: 1250 MHz, 1025 mV
Mem: 1850 MHz, Auto

Speed per card: 22 MHs ETC, 275 MHs SC
Power per card: ~105W (GPU-Z)

This is a 25W per card saving while keeping the same hashing speed. However, I have problems with the memory settings  

Unfortunately, I cannot get the miner to stabilize with a higher memory speed, it crashes after a few minutes if I set it at 1900 MHz

Anyone using the Sapphire RX 480 Nitro 4GB? Are you undervolting? Care to share your settings? Driver version?

Thanks!

[peoples]

Third try.
@Claymore
Please update us on this one.

I noticed that I miss some messages sometimes, sorry.
I'm not linux dev and reading/parsing some files to get temps looks strange for me and will take some time to implement and test it properly. Therefore I will not do it right now, though I will do it in future anyway because it seems there is no "normal" way now, again thanks to AMD devs, they don't care about such things as backward compatibility. Also, this way allows monitoring only, fans management won't work.
Right now I add new coin and I think it's more interesting feature than getting temps for Linux for 4xx cards.

No Problem, thats why i try it more often
I agree that this seems to be strange for windows users, but in linux this is quite normal.
The /sysfs/ folder mentioned above is a virtual file system from the Kernel (and there drivers) itself.
The above paths mentioned are not files, they are more like APIs where you can control the driver.
For example you can also control the FAN Speed.

Code:

echo 255 > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1

will set the fanspeed of card1 to 100%
This realy is an important feature of your miner, and im pretty sure that bigger mining farms are not running windows

Ok, I will check it soon.

@Claymore
Do you have this one on your roadmap ? Maybe you have an information for target version ?
Thanks

[Raja_MBZ]

Is there any way to make this miner run on Windows 10 32-bit system?

[Claymore]

@Claymore

I think I will add it in 1-2 weeks.

[ioglnx]

Hey Clarmore didn't u see my post?
Regarding the etha 0 switch works on AMD but not on nvidia card..any explanation why? Thanks

[Joemid]

Hello,

Command -r -1 to restart  my claymore bat is not  working, my bat closed but the mew bat did not open.

How i fix it?

Thanks

is not possible to use more than 7 vga on the same system?
using an adapter 1 to 3 ?

NOT ALL PCIE-SPLITTERS ARE THE SAME--

I have a 1-to-4 PCIe splitter that worked with a GTX 550ti and a GT 9800+, with a GTX 750ti on the motherboard.  The 3 cards mined scrypt, but were not very fast.  The GT9800+ got 14kh/s. 

I was never able to get the splitter to work with any cards more modern; the GTX 550ti was compute 2.1 and the GT 9800+ was compute 1.0.  An American made splitter will likely cost more than a motherboard.  The model I bought cost $75, a new one today runs $45.  I tried with AMD cards also. with no success.  Asian 1-to-3 and 1-to-4 splitters run $35 to $50.  Good luck.       --scryptr

Nice job on this.  Where did you get those rails for the structure?

[BTCBusinessConsult]

Is there a command in Claymores miner that allows you to restart the miner if a card drops below a certain hashrate?

I noticed that I was running a 29 mhs low power mod and after 1 hour GPU 1 dropped to 25. Restarted the miner and both GPUs are hashing at 29 MHs with no issues for 4 hours.

Thanks
