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

[sdf9000]

Hi all, first post so be kind... I have been using Claymore for a little while with great success. I don't consider i have learnt enough yet to be guiding people so have not been posting!

However, I have run into a problem that i can't appear to fix.
My current setup is running 2x RX580 (red dragon - hynix) and using the command line options either both in the .bat file or config.txt i can change my GPU0 voltage, clock speed etc. But, my second card does not respond to this.

I am on windows 10 pro 64bit
Radeon Software Version: 17.11.1

Both cards have been bios flashed with the same bios, both cards are identical even down to the batch number

Currently hashing on 1st card at 29.4, second card at 28.4, second card is using much more power and not applying my designated overclock / fan / underclock & undervolts.

I have tried Crossfire enabled & Disabled.
Driver is set to "Compute" mode.

I can't use the BETA driver because this system is used for rendering video as well as an offload for my workstation, this driver is terrible for it and causes errors.

Currently my config.txt looks like:

Code:

-epsw x 
-mode 1 
-ftime 10
-esm 0
-etha 0
-asm 1
-estale 0
-mode 0
-retrydelay 2
-tt 70,77
-tstop 77,77
-fanmax 90,90
-fanmin 30,30
-cclock 1100,1100
-mclock 2100,2100
-cvddc 840,840
-mvddc 840,840
-platform 1

Derp... create a profile for the .exe in the Radeon driver - answered my own question, removed my extra values here. Configured each card as required.

Is it possible to mine minexcoin with Claymore's Dual miner?

Thank you.

[duniek]

is this possible to arrange custom lines in CMD in widnows?

for exapmple in column?

TOTAL SPEED: xxx.xx MH/S
GPU0 xx.xx MH/s
GPU1 xx.xx MH/s
GPU2 xx.xx MH/s
GPU3 xx.xx MH/s


maybe even without fan speed/temp ?

I have an ASUS rx480 Strix 8GB. I only get 19.8 Mh/s. I know its because of the drivers. But if i install the AMD blockchain drivers from August, Windows very often crashes and reboots, and Claymore 10.0 always crashes after a few seconds.

In newer AMD drivers its possible to toggle between "graphics" and "compute" with the "GPU workload" option. But the "GPU workload" toggle doesnt show up on my machine :-(. I've tried with a XFX rx470 card, but same problems.

Even copying memstrap 1750 -> 2000 doesnt work for me. Claymore doesnt recognize the card if I do that. I have Windows 7, but it seem like I have to go back to Linux again. I have Googled a lot, but I have not found any solutions.

Anyone here that experienced the same problems, and found a solution?

Most likely your overclock settings are too high or you are undervolting too much. With a modded Bios on a RX 470/480 or RX 570 you need to run the pixel patcher after installing the drivers to bypass the Bios signature check or you will have a code 43 error in the Windows Device manager.

The AMD blockchain drivers also have issues in Windows 7. Try the Robinhood blockchain driver

Is it possible to mine minexcoin with Claymore's Dual miner?

Thank you.

Short answer, No.
Minexcoin is an Equihash coin so you will need an equihash miner such as Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner. You can find out more about it here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1670733.0

I tried v10.2 against 9.8 and I didn't see any changes in speed like it is stated in release note. I have the same results as before on nvidia 1060 and 1070. Unless they take hidden fees then they get mor we just don't see it cause it's not ment for us

Hi, I use 8x 470 Sapphire Mining Special Version, sometimes it says wattman experienced crashes on startup. also just after showin 8 cards in mine app and stating SOLO ... it just stays there and doesnt go further to mining section, i do restart and it fixes, but this time it doesnt. im trying to reinstal blockchain amd drivers, is there any advice? Win 10 64 bit, claymore dual - 10.2
Afterburner settings - power limit 0
core clock - 1236
mem clock 1995
52 C temp under load and radiating well. 201 mh and effective 180 mh...

@Claymore How to fix this issue ?
got incorrect temperature 511, ignore
It has resurfaced and my miner always hangs as soon as the mining starts and have to do manual reboot

It's hardware-related issue, drivers report wrong temperature, usually it means that this GPU is not stable. Check its riser, OC, PSU.

What about:

Code:

14:51:23:183	1e90	Temperature control thread hangs, need to restart miner!
14:51:25:355	1e90	Restarting OK, exit...

This appeared only for 10.2. I've never seen it on older versions on the exact same OS, drivers, updates, OC.
So it's something with this 10.2...

Check OP or History.txt:

Latest version is v10.2:
...
- in rare cases ADL API calls can hang, now watchdog checks it as well.
...

So v10.1 could not restart due to ADL API problems, watchdog did not check it. Moreover, both watchdog and temperature control works in same thread in v10.1 so if ADL hangs, watchdog hangs too and fails to restart miner even if some GPU fails after it. It was fixed in v10.2, now temperature control works in separate thread.
If you think that watchdog works incorrectly, you can PM me the log file and I will check it.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Now that rig has been upgraded to Win 1709, ADM 17.1.4.
If this will appear again I will PM you with complete logs.

It appears my upgrade of FCU (1709) went crazy and I can't access the start meniu...
I tried everything.. no solution.
I reverted to 1703 and beta Radeon drivers.

With this and the OC from 10.2 it kept crashing. After reboot, even if the OC apparently was applied, only 1 of the 4 cards worked at full speed (the one with the monitor in it). Meaning first card worked at 30Mh/s, rest of 3 at 25Mh/s.
So I had to go back to using MSI AB, unfortunately.
It applies the OC correctly. Let's see if it's stable.

How i can permanently turn off a GPU?
A GTX 530 with 2048 MB available can be used for mine something?

now it works fine each card gives 25 mh except GPU 2 which gives 22 mh! is it normal? i always have 25 but today...

Hi to all.

I'm new in mining.
I'm going in crazy with simplemining to setup the goup to mining Ubiq, Etn, and other crytonight.
PLease there is somebody can help me to setup the group?

I have 8 Red dragons 8gb Gpus...
I don't know what to choose beetween Calymore 10.2, 10, or other and which string to set on them.
I just read the gravitymaster guide but i don't understan so much.

Thanks so much in advance.

[dinkydow]

Yah in relation to that.

Are rx570s better than rx580s. as in easier to mod and get to 30mhs

Hi Guys!

Tell me please, what you need to install to run Claymore's v10.2 for Linux Ubuntu Server 16.04.03?
I have problems with work Claymore's, I see a mistake after a while: WATCHDOG: GPU * hangs in OpenCL call, exit

My steps are installing drivers for RX470 4G:
1. Updated kernel ubuntu to version 4.4.11
2. Install driver amdgpu-pro version 17.40
3. Install APP_SDK version 3.0.130.136
4. Install ADL_SDK version 10.2


What do I do?
after installing the amdgpu-pro, ADL, APP, path you need somewhere to draw?

Thank you!

APP_SDK and ADL_SDK are not useful

the kernel 4.4.11 is different from mine (I have latest on 16.04 LTS, the 4.10....).
Note I got ther just by making apt-get dist-upgrade and update  (and all possible update/upgrade)

check that when installing amdgpu-pro the dpkg compile phase does not end with an error (check the logs they name... eg, amdgpupro refused to compile with the 4.11 linux headers provided by ROCm)
If desperate, try to install ROCm
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm
and afterward install amdgpu-pro for the OpenCL implementation (claymore don't use ROCm opencl implementation)

don't forget the large page options in grup config file... as said in the documentation,

I have a 7 GPU rig made up of (5) GTX 1060's and (2) RX470's.  My RX470's are giving me very low hashrates.  They fluctuate between 12 mh/s and 18 mh/s.  Here is my configuration.  Any thoughts?

Did you define manually the Ethereum and Siacoin mining intensity?
GTX1060 can withstand -dcri (Siacoin) up to 40-50 without significant drop in hashrate, while RX470 start to hash ETH slower beginning with -dcri 20-25. Maybe your miner has set automatically a 40-45 intensity, that keeps down ETH hashrate on RX470.
I suggest you to run 2 Claymore instances: one for GTX1060, another for RX470 and adjust Siacoin intensity. Define -di (GPU index) for each instance.

Thanks, i'm now running at a consistent 19-21mh/z.  Now to mod the bios and see if it goes higher.

This is a thread for the Claymore dual miner, not your rig setup and tech support.

1/. Open a browser
2/. Type "How to Mine XXX" and "How to setup SMOS"
3/. Go through the hundreds of videos and tutorials that have already gone over the basic questions you are asking.
