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

[joaocha]

Hey,

Claymore, great miner I have one small issue... sometimes (not sure why and when) 1 card show error with info about stopping watchdog gpu 5 (and trying to reboot.bash or restart miner) but this is weird because there is only 1 card (no matter solo or multigpu) , PSU checked, temp 85-88 degree , fan 90%... i wish to RMA warranty this gpu but ... its working sometimes 40hours non reboot... sometimes it reboots 5 times a day.... any idea how to fix it? or maybe how to stress test if its broken?

p.s. 4 gb ram is ok for 6 gpu? linux

regards,
Tom

I think 85-90 temp is not safe to run 24 hours a day,
Your gpu will die my friend, check thermal paste.

You should cool it better

RX470 and RX480 requires 4GB system memory, so you just can't mine with 2GB.

That is right. You cannot mine with 2GB memory with the Claymore miners. You can mine with other miners for other coins.

Just received some RX470 cards and built a test Windows 7 x64 righ with just 1GB (ONE) of system RAM. It works just fine with 3 RX470 cards (soon receiving more).

The key is to use -gser 1 option to serialize card initialization and don't forget to change virtual memory to use 16GB paging file. I don't know if the latter is really necessary, but -gser helps.

Soon switching to linux for new cards.

BTW, can anybody point me to the explanation of Polaris power stage structure? I need to understand well what all those VDDs mean. AFAIK, main VRM supplies voltage to a controller that generates more voltages for VRAM, GPU, VRAM to GPU bus, etc. Also there is some offset (from what to what?) used to downvolt. I use them blindly but please help me to find an info about this, I want to optimize my system but like to understand what I'm doing.

Recently started using Claymore, and so far its pretty awesome. Way more stable and profitable compared to what I was using before. Has anyone has any experience using the -logfile flag when running Claymore? I like the fact that it logs whats going on, but I am having trouble logging it to a file that I specify. If anyone has a working example that would be awesome.

When Claymore starts, it says -logfile is an unknown option. Is this flag deprecated from an older version? (I am running 7.1) Or am I just using it incorrectly.

Download v7.2, v7.1 has problems with "-logfile" option.

Downloaded and implemented 7.2, although its still giving me

UNKNOWN OPTION -logfile
UNKNOWN OPTION test.txt

Does the -logfile option need to be implemented in a certain place or a certain way? Im running Claymore like this...

./ethdcrminer64 -epool http://STRATUM/WORKER -ewal WALLET -epsw x -allpools 1 -di 0 -dpool XXXXXXX -dwal XXXXXX -dpsw x -dcoin sc -dbg 1 -gser 2 -logfile card0_noappend_log.txt -r 1 -mport 0


Thanks for the help!

Oh, linux, use v7.0 then. Or wait v7.3, will be available in a few days.

For voltage, I just change the state 7 (boost).  PowerColor Red Devil doesn't like you changing voltage for some reason, but Sapphire Nitro, and an ASUS card are fine.  Stock voltage varies from like 1070-1150.  Out of 11 cards, 1020mv has always been stable, some cards will go down to 955mv (1260MHz core) and be perfectly stable.  Check ASIC quality in GPU-Z, generally the higher this is, the less voltage is needed.  You can keep lowering voltage until system lock, then add like 40mv if you want a quick way to find ballpark estimate lowest stable (some cards you need to stop miner between changes, press 0-9 on miner).

I compared the 4.1 version with 7.2. IDK why but stale- rate is higher with 7.2 ( same hashrate , same driver ,Sapphire RX480).
Did someone clear this dependency ...

My bad, probably should have specified I was running on trusty.
Thank you! 7 worked perfectly, ill have to make sure and check out 7.3 when its released.

Which particular GPUs including make&model would represent the best investment for dual mining at this moment?  I'm currently debating between the MSI 390, 480 and 1070 but I would like to identify the few out of many cards which aren't plagued with various issues such as improper cooling on GPU/VRMs/VRAM.

I highly recommend Sapphire RX 470's 4GB edition. Mod the BIOS for 2100 RAM like the RX 480 and get the same hashrate out of the box for them, with less wattage. Currently have 2 of them with 51MH/s on headless mode. About 50.5 when running not headless as I am now to type this. It's dual BIOS so you can easily mod the BIOS without having to worry about bricking the cards as you can flip the switch for stability, and right before flash, flip them back to the other BIOS. Cheap, fairly quiet, and they stay cool, and perform well.

'
I'm currently constrained when it comes to available PCIe slots which is why I'm more inclined to purchase high end gear.  I can yield 32 MH/s ETH and 1200 DCR/800 SIA on 290x/390x and was wondering what your optimal performance looks like to put things in better perspective.  The 1070 can provide similar figures using considerably less power making it very appealing despite the hefty price tag.

Do you mind being more specific? Which log exactly are you looking for?

Thanks for the help!

Please set -dbg 1 and show what it shows :-) when your card is crashing

Reporting fans not adjusting with -tt (reboot set on -tstop) when updating from v6.2 to v7.2 ubuntu. 5x Asus R9 390 Strix 8GB on risers with Asrock BTC Pro.

Great job on -lidag option, although it doesnt really help me personally, my machine frequently reboots when miner suddenly stops (if too overclocked) , ie. with devfee.

-lidag opitoin : default 0, you can show me how we'll put 1 or value ?

Would anyone here happen to know how well the GTX 1080 performs with Claymore's miner on Windows 10 with the right driver version? I personally do not own one, but I know someone who does. Just trying to figure out if he can get decent Ethereum performance out of it.

Unfortunately not, the 1070 performs very well however.

Hello

Its a 1300w edga gold power supply enough to dual mining with  6x of msi r9 390x?

[Ragnarokdel]

I'm not sure what the issue is but my 7990 went from 19mh/s + 440 mh/s on SC per gpu all the way down to 11mh/s on 7.2. I was getting 19 mhs  before per gpu with 5.3

Not really, you will need to undervolt a lot and maybe underclock, and run low -dcri. Even then you are pushing limits of it, consider dual PSUs.  Their total TDP is 1650w.  Someone on this forum does it, and it is very unstable.

Can we get an option to round hashrate of second coin to nearest MH in EthMan when showing detail stats?  I don't need to know fractions of a MH for siacoins, and with 4 cards its hard to read.

[adamvp]

Hmm.. How can I disable particular card when mining?

[liomojo1]

Is there a way to run two instanses of the miner? When i try to mine with 3 cards monero and with 3 cards eth, this miner says port is used and connot connect , the other monero miner is working?

[qqqq]

Claymore, do your miner has ability to failover with SOLO ETH wallets ? I see only pool options like ESM, wallet_address.Workername.

[CoRpO]

Hmm.. How can I disable particular card when mining?

list all the cards that you want to mine on with -di option
eg : -di 01245 to disable card 3 (if you have 6 cards)

Is there a way to run two instanses of the miner? When i try to mine with 3 cards monero and with 3 cards eth, this miner says port is used and connot connect , the other monero miner is working?

use -mport 0 to disable ethman monitoring port on the 2nd and 3rd instances, this is what is causing the problem


Guys, read the first post of this topic, those questions where answered there ...
