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

@Claymore

In remote Miner manager(2.6V) how Do I change the text color? i can see that how to change the background but not text. Would like it the same as in the miner. Black background with green text

I need help with Windows 10 the miner keeps stalling.  The memory clocks will go idle down to 300Mhz from the 2250Mhz.  Is there some setting that I need to change in Windows 10?  This is the first time running a Rig on Windows 10.

Almost certainly the problem is your cards are not stable with the memory set to 2250. Some of my cards won't do more than 2100 stable with 1750mhz memory strap.

I'd suggest dropping your memory speed to 2150 at least and testing that that is stable first before pushing it back up.

why can't you mine eth with r9 270 2gb ?
I can

Thanks but I think I found the problem.. The PCIe link has moderate power saving on by default.. I turned it off in power options.. so far it's been pretty stable now.

Running with settings.

Memory MHz: 2245  (decided to not quite max it out)
mem voltage: 1000mv
Fan speed min: 3200 max: 3800  (prefer to keep cooler)
Temp: Max: 85C  Target: 78C
Power: -5%

I am running 109 MH/s with 4 RX 480.  Once I know that is stable will add my 5th Card into the mix I have 6 RX 480's.

Sory for newbie question, but I didn't find any thread to answer me .

I'm using claymore's miner for zcash mining and it's fastest for me (AMD 290x 3x and 290 2x).
It's the same for eth mining or is there any faster miner for ethereum.

Thanks.

-ttli   reduce entire mining intensity (for all coins) automatically if GPU temperature is above specified value. For example, "-ttli 80" reduces mining intensity if GPU temperature is above 80C.
   You can see if intensity was reduced in detailed statistics ("s" key).
   You can also specify values for every card, for example "-ttli 80,85,80". You also should specify non-zero value for "-tt" option to enable this option.
   It is a good idea to set "-ttli" value higher than "-tt" value by 3-5C.
   NOTE: Check "KNOWN ISSUES" section. GPU indexes in temperature control sometimes don't match GPU indexes in mining!

...

-mvddc   set target GPU memory voltage, multiplied by 1000. For example, "-mvddc 1050" means 1.05V. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-mvddc 900,950,1000,970". Supports latest AMD 4xx cards only in Windows.

I'm thinking about using the above features to manually specify my voltages/clocks/fan/temps etc in Claymore instead of using MSI AB (for a variety of reasons). Does anyone else do this, and if so, do you have any advice on does and don'ts, or other recommendations for transferring your MSI AB controls over to the miner (can you specify fan curve; is the default one pretty good)? My complaint with MSI AB is that the option to set all values for similar cards seems to cause a system hang every now and then, even though I know the settings work when applied individually, and manually adjusting voltages also periodically causes a hang, even though it's nothing related to the actual setting, just changing it. I'm using all brand new hardware, top of the line. Also, while tuning the rig for a new coin, I sometimes get stuck in a crash loop and have to disconnect a card so AB won't try to auto-set a value during boot. Then I turn off auto-set, but forget to turn it back on, etc. Too much effort when it seems like hardcoding them into the miner config might be easier (after it's all setup).

If anyone has example config for a 7x470 4gb sapphire nitro+ oc rig, that would rule. I'm already aware it largely depends on the ASIC quality of each card.

[manotroll]

suport ETH+XMR+FNC ?

[espressodelisi]

why can't you mine eth with r9 270 2gb ?
I can 

clymore miner gives error message and quits.

I'm using linux, maybe its linux driver issue with 2GB cards.

[shadabahmed]

when i mine with 5X RX470 cards  ETC+DCR i am getting


etc 135 dcr 2000+

when i mine  with 5X RX470 cards  ETC+LBC i am getting

etc 120 lbc 170

why speed of etc too much down in LBC mining?

[dagarair]

so just to be clear.

let's say on my desktop i have a folder with all claymore eth files in it and the start.bat with my info and the -r 1 option in the config line then a reboot.bat file that has shutdown /r /f /t 1  ALL OF THESE Files are in that folder

when the system detects a GPU failure, it will call the reboot.bat file and reboot the system right?

Am i missing anything?

[riser]

in new version will be zcash and eth? or not?
A you create miner for sia coin?

Might want to try C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe and your options

instead of just shutdown

@Claymore
some times my miner reboot when settings dag files. In zec Claymore  miner i dont have this problem, only on ethClaymore  miner.

It seems watchdog is not working on Windows 10.  When I notice it hanging I press 's' it will than see it's hung up.

Lowering memory to 2150 did not make any difference at all. It ran fine with 2 but when I use any of the 3 other cards even by itself on the riser it stalls. I did not have this problem with Windows 7 system.  GPU 1 is the only one that continues to run GPU1, GPU2, and GPU3 just freezes.

I found my problem my MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard required some changes to be done in BIOS to work with risers. 

PCIe changed from Gen 3 to Gen 2
PCIe lanes changed to 8x4x4
PCie latency to 96

It is now mining happily along with no issue so far.

For fan control the options are "-tt" "-tstop" "-fanmin". There is no setting for fan curve, miner will adjust fan operation to achieve configured "-tt" temperature. Set it low and the fans will go louder, set it high and the fans will be much silent at low rpm. Tstop is safety measure I usually set to 85 or 90. I recommend you to leave a margin of 10 between tstop and tt. I specify fanmin for my RX cards in the range 25-30 %

The point in setting mvddc is to allow for lower cvddc. GPU voltage can't be set lower than memory controller's voltage or it just won't work. Your other option here is using "WattTool" from overclock.net and use GPU vddc offsets. That way you don't have to mess with mvddc. WattTool can also save profile settings for your cards for usage in you startup bat file.

Feature request: add %WORKER% env variable the same way you've done for your ZEC miner.

Do 2GB GPU's still work with eth mining?

My 2GB radeon r9 270 do not work with eth mining. I'm continuing mining with my 280x GPUS. Using 270 for zec mining for now.

Ok, how profitable is ZEC compared to eth?

it's not so profitable for now. I'm mining eth (or etc) with my three radeon 280x (total 45MH/s) and mining zec with my 270 just for not let it sit iddle.

I mine Expanse with my 270X's.
