Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v10.3 (Windows/Linux)

[eddiechi]

My System:
Windows 10 Pro x64.
AMD blockchain Aug11 drivers.
Rig: 6 cards ,three RX480 & three RX580.

I'm sure this has been asked before but can't find any post about it, so here goes..
I've not been messing with the voltages on my GPUs until now, and am trying to use Wattman to adjust the voltages but they don't look like they are changing (or at least not past a certain voltage as I do see a drop in the rig Wattage use).
When monitoring with GPU-Z (or HWinfo) the voltages do not change (I see a dip then it jumps back up) - I have a Windows 7 x64 setup running the 17.7.1 drivers and the volages do change on that setup (as seen in Afterburner & GPU-Z).
Is it not possible to change the GPU voltages with the new AMD blockchain drivers ?

I've changed to mining Monero (with the Claymore XMR miner) so do I really need the new blockchain drivers for Monero and if not can I re-install the 17.7.1 drivers to enable voltage changing - I hate changing the drivers as something always gets screwed up ?
Thanks.

Blockchain drivers don't work with Windows 7 and Claymore.

I've installed the blockchain drivers on Windows 7 and ran Claymore on top of that and it works just fine.
Maybe I did not make it clear, my main rig is running Windows 10 (this is the one I'm having problems with), and I've a small rig running Windows 7 (which now has 17.7.1 on it but used to have the blockchain drivers and Claymore running just fine)

Then you are the only one on here so far who has gotten Windows 7 + Blockchain + claymore to work, the rest of us have claymore crash apon GPU access

I had 6 various rigs running Win 7 with amd and Nvidia....  had to install Win 10 on all of them to use blockchain driver.... reluctantly did this after days of troubleshooting and dozen hours of trial and error....      6 different mb's and various mix of gpus....  none of the win7 rigs would run blockchain driver with claymore......   miner would open and start and then close.  I have not seen anyone on this thread with a successful blockchain driver working on Win 7 with claymore but quite a number of people posting their lack of success.

Previos beta (not official) works fine with Win7.

Thats robinh00d version which is an unofficial patch that works in Win 7. We are waiting for something more concrete on the official front.

Here is the solution for linux amdgpu blockchain fix:
The new ROCm Kernel works great, my hashrate went from 155 > 167Mhs/s with 6*RX470 with Ubuntu 16.4

#Install new ROCm Kernel:

wget -qO - http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rocm

#edit grub
sudo nano  /etc/default/grub
#2MB fragments for Ellesmere are enabled with a grub option:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9"

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

choose new Kernel and its done!

Thx to gstoner from ROCm Github.

Hey guys,

I got a question can I redirect the blockchain destination somehow to D:  Drive ?? my C: drive is an SSD just for windows. I tried redirecting it through my Command Prompt but it still keeps saving all blockchain data to C:.

Thanks for the help

I have a question maybe a little off topic but a I a Asus CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z motherboard and when I just install the amd drivers my two of my gpus automatically are in crossfire the only way to disable crossfire is to install amd settings does anyone no another way to disable crossfire I looked in bios but didn't see anything

So far today I have had Epoch 40, 140, 145 and now Epoch 2 (Dag size 1,0268).

Who controls the Epoch number?  Claymore 9.8?

Are you on an auto switching pool or Nicehash? They are changing the coins you are mining. Sounds like you were switching between Musicoin, Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. They have the corresponding DAG numbers. DAG is controlled by the size of the blockchain.

[NoHash]

I am on NiceHash and ONLY have Eth/Decred checked

Nicehash will change between any Ethash coin as they see fit. Not under your control. You pick the algo, not the coin. The people that pay Nicehash pick the coin they want to mine.

"blockchain destination" sounds cryptic. if your're talking about geth node you can try  "data-dir" (just check the correct syntax)  param

you should not wait anymore. according to the AMD plans the "blockchain beta" is the only official AMD driver they will release with DAG fix included

Hi Claymore : is there a new version of your dual miner in the pipe, ready soon ?
The actual one is very good, but we ever hope better ;-).

I plan to release new version in 3-4 days. I've almost finished ASM mode for ETH+LBC, also try to find some workaround for voltage control.

Great news : a new version of the Claymore's dual miner soon :-).
I will try the ETH + PASCAL dual mining in next days.

Nicehash will change between any Ethash coin as they see fit. Not under your control. You pick the algo, not the coin. The people that pay Nicehash pick the coin they want to mine.

NiceHash can only mine those algo's that I have checked on my system,

This does not work for me, after changing the kernel my hashrate is dancing between 25 and 29

Anybody get the open source drivers working? I tried to install fglrx on 16.04 with kernel 4.4 but couldn't get it going.

you need to fix your clk level. i do this with roc-smi

YES, YOU ARE MINING DAGGER-HASHIMOTO ALGORITHM--

And, NiceHash is directing your hash data-stream at different clones of the Etherium (ETH) coin.  The "buyers" at NiceHash are paying for your hashing power, but they may select which coin to mine at a different pool.  The DAG file for these clone-coins is at varying epochs, and will be of different size according to the epoch of the clone-coin being mined.

yiimp is borderline nonsense with the amount of errors and downtimes.  Can you do your 2nd dual coin on dual mine on Nicehash for a given algo?

you need to fix your clk level. i do this with roc-smi
look here https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROC-smi

I was using rocm-smi before installing this kernel with a custom bios to underclock-undervolt my card, I used this command in my script before launching Claymore with no changes in the hasrate dancing
 

Code:

sudo /opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi --setsclk 0 1 2 3

My clock is at level 3 when Claymore is running

Code:

sudo /opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi -c


====================    ROCm System Management Interface    ====================

================================================================================
====================           End of ROCm SMI Log          ====================

How do you fix your clk level?, what command do you launch?...
