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

[xanx]

Is it worth overclocking for an additional 10mhz from 137 to 147 if getting a lot of incorrect shares (over clocking errors) is a repercussion?

[Truthchanter]

hey,
thanks for having me here.
I've got an issue that I saw other people have on the ethereum forum but none of the solutions I've heard (so far) being suggested so far apply to me.

I've got a setup: windows 10 with Gigabyte 970A-DS3P, 1000W gold psu and 2x470 + 2x480 . All of them stock for now until i get this stable enough. Running all with usb raisers.
I'm using 16.9.1 because the one recommended apparently is not good for the new 4xx's, and with this I've managed to run the miner for 8-9 hours to 11 hours continuously. (using all the DDU workflow etc to make sure it's all cleaned up).
Claymore v9 with etherminer.
Temperatures are all @72-79C with fans running 35-55% on average.
The 470's run on 21-22mh/s and 480's on 24-25.5mh/s as expected from stock I believe.

It all runs well until at one point the miner hangs (as I see on etherpage, the worker is inactive). The moment I remote in, and click in the terminal, it seems to come back and realize it's been idle for at least an hour, and restarts itself. If I don't click on the terminal it can keep hanging on forever.
Here's my log

edit : saw the above post, will try switching from 16.9.1 and running 16.11.5 overnight

I've had this problem occasionally too... idk if there is an easy fix.. I've tried changed the current type to 60 in wattTool and also decrease mem clock and increase voltage seems to help but idk

[BigWolf]

I'm trying to mine an alt coin in a rig with 380 (4Gb) cards and one 7950 (3Gb) but it keeps crashing when it is switching between normal and dev mining on the 7950.  I'm using:

-allcoins -1 -allpools 1

and instead of crashing 15 minutes into mining, it now lasts and hour and then crashes.

Can someone explain the -allcoins option for me?  in the Readme it says to use "-allcoins 47" to specify room for epoch #47.   Is that for 47 epochs from where it started or what?   how often are the new epochs created. 

Just trying to figure out something else to try and looking for suggestions.   I don't want to run with the -nofee option.

You don't get paid for incorrect shares so better to go slower and be more accurate. You are only paid on valid shares. Lots of invalid shares will significantly reduce your average hash rate on the pool.

Hello all,

i have sapphire rx480 nitro without + SKU 11260-16 which driver should i install, i treid many but on all drivers when i reis memory to 2250 with msi afterburner its crash display disconect, or is there any modded bios? for this model.

Best regards

2250 is quite high. It is too much... lower it.

On Ubuntu 16.04 with  
amdgpu-pro-17.10-401251 (catalys 15 don't install. v16 works but 17 seems better)
and
AMD-APP-SDK-v3.0.130.136-GA-linux64 installed...
I use a RX470

all goes fine but at start of ethdcrminer64 v9.1 I have
"AMD ADL library not found."
and
AMDAPPSDKROOT=/opt/AMDAPPSDK-3.0
environment variable set in the systemd service

I don't know if it is a problem.
-asm 2 does not improve anything over -asm 1
I have temp and fan status
"GPU0 t=59C fan=67%"

I want to make all perfect, maybe I'm searching for inexistent problems...

Hi Guy's , as I can see there is still issues with fluctuating hashrates, this below was one of my earlier posts,

 

Mining ETH+DCR ( ETH = 60.6 MH/s ) ( DCR = 1757.xx MH/s )
Equipment = 2 x Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ OC Dual UIFE Bios ( YES!!! Modded )
Afterburner V4.3.0
Claymore V9.1

Batch file is as follow.

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -dcri 29 -epool daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal BTC-ADDRESS.Worker -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -estale 0 -dbg -1 -dpool decred.eu.nicehash.com:3354 -dwal BTC-ADDRESS.Worker -dpsw x -asm 1
pause

So I have had the same issue with fluctuating hash rate eth 30.5 MH/s to 23 MH/s but as I have read through the posts I have tried using -dcri and by slowly increasing and decreasing as you monitor on the scope of afterburner to find the smoothest line on your wattage usage, "I could get it better but than I loos some of my hashes on ETH",  I got to -dcri 29 and that was the best setting for my setup. on ETH-ONLY MODE - dcri 4 was the best.

I does not remove the fluctuation it only makes it less fluctuating.

@claymore

Hey Claymore, it looks like you prioritized who uses dual mode in these latest updates. For me that mine only ETH, I still use version 8.1 that continues faster (briefly). Do you have any plans to improve performance for eth only?

gpu-pro does not support amd adl, so it's ok. -asm 2 has same speed as -asm 1 for most cards, it depends on GPU model, so it's ok. -asm 2 was added mostly for overclocked Tonga and Polaris cards and only for ETH-only mode. On these cards you can have best speed on -dcri 1, -asm 2 moves -dcri scale for these cards so you can try to find speed peak at larger -dcri values.

You should mention that 8.1 is faster for your cards. For some other cards v9 is faster. What GPU do you have? what -dcri value is the best in v9?

Hey Claymore my Rx 480 4GB G1 Gaming Gigabyte keeps crashing after a few hours and it messes up the internet connection disconnecting it and crashes the driver allot. I have to restart PC all the time.

I just hope you get that fixed in the next update.

Thank you.

Honest question here: do you guys think that your GPU's cause indoor pollution? I stay a lot in my room where my rig is setup and I feel that the air i am inhaling aint to good, any thoughts on this ?

actually it collects some dust so less dust you inhale - it cleans a bit

actually, I agree, having just four GPUs in my office made air stale, but here is a solution (greatly improved my perception of air quality):
https://www.amazon.com/Coway-AP-1512HH-Mighty-Purifier-True/dp/B00BTKAPUU
it is silent in eco mode (most of the time when on auto) and you can periodically switch the air ionizer on to make it feel even fresher.

The constant heat might make the air slightly less humid and a brand new rig may off gas some chemicals the first few hours/days of operation, but other than that I do not think running a miner is any worse than running any of the many other appliances we have in our homes. If anything, the air quality is probably cleaner for me, especially in the winter time, as I can now leave windows cracked open for fresh air pretty much year round. There are a couple of months in the peak summer I need to close up and run the A/C, but I usually shutdown most of my in-house rigs then and/or move them out to the garage. The garage is another story however, summer time it is a virtual oven and I need constant air-flow or bad things will happen.

I just started mining so have not yet to deal with the summer heat- how do you guys deal with this issue? I feel like my  room is going to get hot even though im in the basement. I have two fans but thats barely enough right now, how does everyone deal with cooling their gear?

[Wicard]

@Mr. Claymore,

Something I want you to look at, when devfee starts while I mine ETC it try's to connect to us1.ethermine.org:4444 that port does not work and it keeps the devfee running longer, can you maybe change it to port 14444 that one works because I'm using it and also can't get 4444 port to work.

thanks

Good airflow and lots of it. Does your basement have any windows, even those small ones by the ceiling? If so, you might want to try and setup a fan in the window to try and exhaust some of that hot air outside.

If you only have one rig, a larger basement might be able to dissipate the heat to some extent. It may get warm but not excessively hot. With multiple rigs and/or a more confined space, you will definitely need to look into getting some airflow into and out of the space.
