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

[Morticio]

havent seen this answer yet, hoping for quick clarification.

I have 3 rx 480s and, newly acquired, for ethereum mining with Claymore's. I am trying to find a way to write bat files that lets me game on the top 2 480s while 24/7 mining with the 3rd card. Essentially I need crossfire to ignore the 3rd card so it can mine without screwing up my gaming. I am on windows 7 64-bit

When I'm not gaming ill mine with all 3 480s.

Is anyone able to help with this conundrum? Seems like it should be simple but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance.

First page RTFM. You can turn on cards ON in your .bat OR you can turn cards on/off during mining. Either would work, but turning a card on/off would be simpler and prevent restarting Claymore.

Thanks a lot, i search everywhere in .txt files for option like that...

Is it known we need to launch 2 times miner to apply frequencies and voltages on RX when using -cclock -mclock -cvddc and -mvddc on commande line ?
Thanks

V9.4 gives a lot more stale shares compared to V9.3. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi,

I have a problem with a rig.
Yesterday I removed an older R9 card. Now there are only 4 x RX480s in the rig.
When I started the rig, it started-stoped-started-stoped-started but no screen, no beeps, nothing.
I removed all unnecessary things (so only cpu and mem is on the motherboard) and stil the same!
The mainboard is an Asrock btc pro.
CPU is an intel G1840
Ii tried a couple of different memory.
Power supply is an EVGA 1600 G2.

Any ideas?

regards,
eric

First I would reset the CMOS.

i 've tried that!
But no luck!!!

Ok next I would try getting the board to boot to the bios.........nothing connected like you did before, except this time try only one stick of mem you dam sure is good. Try it in each slot to see if you can get to the bios. Don't forget to disconnect the drive your OS is on.

I did all that.
just motherboard, CPU and 1 stick of good mem. (no HD, no GPU, no nothing...)
Still the same!

eric

tried with other ram.
Still nothing.

Next........I'd order a new mobo. There is a chance your cpu went bad, but the odds against that are pretty high. You could also double check each of the power cables and PSU.....but it is likely a mobo gone bad on you.

this is also possible yes...

Just disconnected and cleaned the motherboard and connected the PSU to the motherboard.
I got back in the bios!
Changed the bios a bit (disable sound)
And when rebooting, I get the same problem!!!

what gpu are you using? on board, or gpu in pcie?

I tried the on board gpu, an RX480 and an old nvidia.
All the same.

I agree with WhyMe. I have same problem!

Claymore. I love your miner. Only one thing driving me nuts - grey background when viewing the webpage of stats of the miner. We were talking about it. Function -color works, but no option is showing those rows as goog as standard option. In cmd window it look good - black background, pink or violet temperatures, but this temperature row on webpage on grey background is not readable.
Could you simply make the colors (just the background color to black) the SAME in remote webpage as it is in cmd window on win?
Thanks a lot!

What are the mh/s people are getting with Gtx 980 ?

I don't get it...can anyone give a proper solution?

The Watchdog issue is very frustrating and even if I disable the WD function it's not a solution the hasrates drops anyway.

For the last hole week (over 160h) I could mine without an issue but now its back again.
WATCHDOG HANGS IN OPENCL CALL, you need to restart the miner
WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart your miner

A "Restart" never work... I need to reboot my hole system and restart everything new...this can't be.


BTW I did no changes in Bios/OC/Windows/Hardware or anything else after the last week. Riser are also OK.
I've performed only a system restart because I wanted to plott my hard disk.

If I restart my system 10-20 times after that error occured (what can be after some minutes or even hours) it will work probably for a longer time...but this can't be the way.


Appriciate about any help.


@Claymore
Do you know what can cause that issue? Could you change something in the next miner version?
Hope something can be done... it's unbelievable frustrating.


Thanks in advance.

What are the mh/s people are getting with Gtx 980 ?

Gigabyte 980 = 21.3 MH/s

EVGA 980 = 21.6 MH/s

EVGA 980 Ti = 23.5 MH/s

Ok EthMan v3.1 will have option for bg color of webpage.

Probably some hardware issue. After it, when video drivers fails, often there is no way to reset/restart anything except press Reset button. I can do nothing for it because miner is at OpenCL level.

No no, we don't understand each other. I mean black background when connecting remotely to rig stats using web browser on for example 192.168.1.2:3333, I don't use EthMan...

claymore, if you launch the miner with win 10 task scheduler then it doesnt have fan control and gpu power control

i said more about it here

Ok my strix 980's 1 getting 20mh/s and the other getting 22mh/s and using 165w each from wall.Are the wattages same as yours?

Oh, this is done already, just wait for next update

It is related to Windows and drivers, not to miner. If you try to start miner as a service you will have same problems or even more. Miner uses API to access OpenCL and AMD ADL, if they fail, there is nothing to do in the miner.

Google says the file contains a virus! Looks like someone integrated claymore into some trojan software.

Anyway, I can't download the zip file..

I am currently mining Zcash with 2x GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition cards. Is dual mining ETH with other coins a better option than solo mining Zcash? FYI, I use EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner currently and getting an average speed of 755 Sol/s (for 2 cards) and average earning of 0.0035 BTC/day. Thanks!

Use MEGA link in OP. Some time ago I even got a message from a man who caught a virus that just starts my miner with "hacker's" wallet address and even does not disable the log file, so this man checked the log, googled a bit and found me on this forum. Then he registered here and told me via PM that he is angry and probably I'm the most stupid virus writer on this planet since I wrote my name in the log file and I can be so easily reached.
Well, I tried to explain the situation of course
