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

[maxmad_x]

Since ysterday I got the same error as written in this message. Does anyone know the solution?

THank yyou

Using Ver 5.1, dual mining ETH + DCR I am getting annoying behavior on one of my rigs. Would like to know what these lines mean:
 
04:57:27:598   f10   OC v5, Reset control for GPU 12, close miner right now if you want to use default control from Catalyst

04:59:57:473   f10   Restarting OK, exit...

Of 7 rigs, this one is constantly restarting the miner every 4 to 5 min.
This is not a power issue or faulty riser, I'd like to understand more the log file.
Claymore? Can you help?
GPU are not overclocked, running at stock speed.
All my rigs are on Win 10 Pro, 15.2 AMD drivers, This rig is AMD FX6200 16gb Ram

Cheers,
Franco

Try to look for "

Code:

[GPU #0] got incorrect share. If you see this warning often, make sure you did not overclock it too much!

(Let's press ctrl+f in notepad and just paste "incorrect")

I have similiar  problems as you(my rigs works few hours not minutes...) :

Yesterday I guess it was pool - related... because it happend when sia.nanopool stoped working,  but one of my cards is a little faulty as you can see..
In event viewer I can saw:
Display driver amdkmdap stoped responding, but recover stability (but after that my miner hangs so I had to make hard reset)
.I
 look further in my log and I wonder what it is:

Code:

Another  strange thing is that works better before I upgraded to 6.2...
Can you give us any help Claymore?
*eth only mode seems to work ok..

[Swiped]

Question for the group that may be answered several times in past posts, but I can't find it and I am new at this dual miner set up.  I have set it up using the settings in the readme file, and the Eth part mines just fine, but the DCR portion has every share rejected.  I am mining the ETH to Dwarfpool and the DCR to Supernova.  I am wondering if it is a driver issue.  I am running 16.11.3 drivers and I see it recommends the 15.x vintage drivers, but I am curious if this group has seen a significant issue with drivers and this mining software.

Never mind, I see others have this issue and there seems to be no good answer, I will just keep playing with the program settings until I get it right or give up

I mine Decred on coinmine, no rejected shares.

Reminder for little update in which we can specify hostname-workername in config file:)

I am still Mining on with ETH.  Just wish that there would be an upgrade to the Software.

I constantly get this messages (sorry for bad quality photo)
It's been a month that I switched from zec to eth now and some of my rigs are displaying this


They were mining eth since the September, then I switched to zec and now back to eth again. Nothing more is changed since September except of bios.

my guess will be too much OC

on mining ETH, you can control the intensity with "-ethi"

maximum intensity is I think "-ethi 16"

Try -ethi 8

I have four XFX RX470 4gb with modified bios (1500 strap). Two of them are hashing great 28mh/s - 29mh/s. The other two are not going beyond 25mh/s.
I am running windows 10 and playing around with afterburner but I can't get the two at the same level. I have an older driver version. 16.6 I think.
Is it something I should change? Driver version you can suggest?
Cheers!

I just restarted claymore and I see now the expected hashrates...
Any hint regarding the order of the GPU's? GPU0, GPU1 etc is not the same in claymore and afterburner...

The hint is it's a giant pain in the ass. I even tried manually specifying order and setting custom voltages/temps/clocks using the available flags, but it was never consistent. I don't know why this can't be done, especially since it's a piece of cake for GPUz, afternburner, and windows.

uff ok. annoying thing. any suggestion on driver version for my RX470's?

Hello people and good to be here.

I am new in mining but old in PC world.
Recently I bought my first rig to get hobby.

I’m currently running:

MB – AsRock H81 PRO BTC v2
CPU – Intel Celeron G1840
RAM – Patriot 4GB @ 1600
SSD – SiliconPower 120GB
PSU – 2 x ThermalTake 730W
GPU - 6 x Sapphire NITRO+ RX 480 8GB – (11260-07-20G) - STOCK BIOS/ no OC
PCI – 6 x Resizers x16 to x1 (USB)

So I set it up and am running Windows 10 and Claymore Dual miner v7.4.

PROBLEM:

After 5-10 minutes of running in ether single or dual mode I would get: WATCHDOG: GPU (x) hangs in OpenCL call. Miner will “restart” and will not start again.

TRIED SO FAR:

-   Reinstalling Windows 10
-   Running both single or dual mining
-   Running on stock drivers then 16.9.1 all the way to latest
-   Removing one or more cards
-   Switching PSU to run one to four cards and back and forth
-   Switching resizers
-   Running cards in both “OC” and silent mode (bios switch)
-   Virtual Memory set to 16GB+

I think a listed all.
So is there any solution to this issue since I’m pretty out of them right now.

Check risers, these are most of the time the culprit.

Already tried several.

Even tried running only 4 cards and then switching paces on motherboard and switching resizes.
In every situation always one card (usually GPU 2) will get hanged in OpenCL call and miner will get stuck.

So basically form hardware point of view checked every possible scenario to triple check every component.
I'm not sure if software troubleshoot will help...

is anyone dual mining eth/etc/exp + decred with rx 470? could you please tell me your power consumption per card? Thanks

Use DDU unistaller and then install drivers again on clean system.

Done that also.

As stated in initial post, tried with windows reinstall few times (since it only takes 20 min or so) and played with different driver versions.

I always get consistent scenario.
Claymore works for few shears and then WATCHDOG: GPU (x) hangs in OpenCL call.

I am mining ETH+DCR. The consumption is between 95W - 101W hashing 28MH/S. I have XFX RX470's.

Well I managed to keep the miner running for 49 hours straight (six radeon rx 470s with 16.11.5 driver version installed).  I noticed it had stopped mining and switched it on to see it had locked up.  Tried to turn it off and start again but am now getting the message "EthDCrminer.exe has stopped working,  windows will attempt to find a solution........".

Does anybody have any ideas why it would run for 49 hours then start having this problem?
