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

[Mydi]

Hello guys, i'm fairly new to coin mining. I've read a lot and been mining eth since 4-5 days now. I've got a gtx1080 (no OC), win10 and using claymore 10.X atm. I'm mining for nanopool. On the software i've got a hashrate steady of around 19/20 Mh/s. I've had a few issue of the windows freezing (known issue for cmd/win10) and I solved it recently so these drops of reported hashrate should not happen anymore.

My main issue is that my 2 hour SMA and submitted shares has been declining heavily since 24 hours and I cant find the reason why. I haven't changed my settings. There is no apparent error message on the claymore window, nor on the log. My 2hour SMA seems to average around 10 Mhs instead of the roughly 20 i should get. My internet connection is flawless (and has been for a few years) so this should not factor in. My GPU is stable at around 60/65 degree and fan at around 40%.

My GPU load is around 50% since I use the option -ethi 0 (to be able to play video games while I'm home, I do not change the setting while away). That is the only "unusual setting" I used, alongside a tempreature control one ( -ttli 75) that I may remove if needed since the GPU temp seems to stay below or at 65 most of the times.

I updated windows, nvidia drivers, made sure I had 16gb of page files on windows. What puzzles me is that I did not change anything since when I started to mine and It worked fine as you can see in the graph below:

At first I had a 2H-SMA close to my reported hashrate and since a day it had plummeted to half of what it was. I know RNG is a factor with only one gfx card but over 24 hours, it would be very bad luck if that's what it was about.

What do you think it is related to?

Since my GPU load is around 50% could this be because the -ethi 0 option ? With or without it my hashrate in claymore stays around the same, wihch is wierd since my gpu seems to be working way less than without the option. But then again, it worked fine for two days with that option....

Any help will be greatly appreciated Smiley Thank you !

The amdgpu-pro v17 never worked for me on OC/UV. I've heard crimson drivers, but with older linux, did work... never tested.

So which one you are using currently ?

I use V17.50 but for overclocking I use bios flashing, and I don't undervolt (too bad).

Hi,

I am having a hard time with my setup so any help would be highly appreciated, we have the following setup.

Asrock H110 Pro
RX580 x 13
Corsair AXI 1200 X 2

Since I have wait for the riser card, I though I should crack up the rig with one GPU. I have installed simple miner OS and configured it with claymore-eth v8.1. My configuration string is
-wd 1 -r 1 -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal mytheconbaseaddress -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333

The rig is doing 18 Mh/s, which is slower than expected. what do I change to make it perform at 25~28 MH/s?

Thank you

Setting up a 13 GPU rig while being absolutely clueless about mining is gonna be a challenge for you. Good luck

You should read thread about bios modding of RX 580 cards.

Hi,

I am having a hard time with my voltage setup on my second rig so any help would be great, I have the below setup.

Asrock H81 BTC Pro R2.0
6 x Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ 8GB
2 x EVGA 750 G2 PSU

All bios mods are running Ubermix 3.1 via PBE 1.6.4

It currently runs cards at 1100/2000 875/850 & a couple at 1050/2000 850/850

I am getting between 29.2MH/s & 29.5MH/s per card total of 175.5MH/s for entire rig.

Running WIN10PROx64, Claymore 10.1, using DAGFIX drivers mining ETH only, but it is pulling over 900w at the wall, using Wattman to control speeds etc. (Temps range from 57-62)

My rigs run relatively quiet, due to their locations, quiet enough the wife is happy to have them in the room and quiet enough you can hold a conversation next to them (Saves me having to turn on the heating)

I had this running at just under 800w a few weeks ago, but unable to reproduce how I did this, so any help would be great

Feature request for EthMan:   A way to acknowledge alarms and have the beeping stop without having to shutdown the app and restart once the miner(s) are fixed.
Thanks.

Hello.
Why does monitoring reflect information selectively?

Well, power consumption is important, its pulling lot of power on wall without undervolting.
Flashing bios for higher clock is what I wanted but not really understood how to do, specially undervolting.. Say I want to undervolt 900 mV , but numbers there are 65423 ...

Any link or indepth guide for bios modding ?

The key should be to add an offset in VoltageObjectInfo (google it)

Hi,

Im running 2 x gigabyte rx 580 xtr 8gb oc cards, and have noticed the variables passed to claymore dont take effect on the second card. Is this common?

For example, ive tried this line (assuming same values should be applied to all cards?)
 
-cclock 1200 -mclock 2200 -cvddc 900 -mvddc 900

then tried this

-cclock 1200,1200 -mclock 2200,2200 -cvddc 900,900 -mvddc 900,900 (to assign each card specifically) and same thing happens both times.

My primary card gets the values set, but secondary just uses the default or the afterburner settings

Im mining dual eth + decred, tried claymore 10.1 and 10.2, win10 machine, and radeon driver - Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23

Any ideas on what it might be?

Try to delete afterburner.
Also I would recommend to ddu drivers and install 17.11.1 (nov 2) drivers and set settings to Compute.
Run claymore and see if its good, then install afterburner.

Thanks mate,

Have just tried radeon adrenaline 17.12.1 with compute setting on. without afterburner installed, claymore's doesnt change any settings now. including mem/core clock speeds? i tried 17.11.1 initially, however i was getting about 6mh lower than with the blockchain drivers.

Thanks

hi guys,

still experiencing the same issue. claymore refuses to set clock, core and voltage settings on my gigabyte aorus 580 xtr cards. i have to use afterburner which isnt reliable. every now and then my cards default to normal clock settings which affects the hashrate and power use.

Any ideas why this might be the case?

running win 10 pro, and claymore 10.2.

Thanks

[onionpealer]

Noob info..

Is it really fundamental to flash the bios of the cards?I ve just set up a 6x xfx rx580 8gb rig..
I get about 170m/hs on eth and 3500mh/s on sia Coin..
No issues or stops in 4 days.. Any way to improve?
Power consumption around 900w..
I just notice that one card is 15% slower than the other ones.

Thanks in advance for any help.. Sorry to be such a newbie

well yes... mod bios will give you lot hashrate more and less power consumption, there is a thread with very expert people and they mod your bios too...

Can you give me a link so I can do some research! Any suggestions on also how to get the miner to reboot in case of errors etc. Just want to get it to work on its own as much as possible cuz it s set up about 10min drive from my home..

You could start here for tips on how to mod your BIOS https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0

To reboot miner read the readme file about the "-r" switch and if PC reboots then to auto start miner use this https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4026268/windows-change-startup-apps-in-windows-10

i have problem (as always)

I decided to mix gpus

6x amd + 8x nvidia

I plug 6x RX570  + 4x1050ti (10gpus)

all works fine without problems (z270-p asus + pci-e multiplier)

when I add 11th GPU after start claymore its freeze (PC works fine, just claymore freeze, if i try to close it then entire PC will freeze)


so
i tried to open 2x claymore and use command -platform 1 for amd and -platform 2 for nvidia, but only one can work (first claymore works ok, but when I run second claymore i am getting (cannot create DAG error/gpu failed etc

of course i have to use -mport 0 command bcoz without it i got sever10048 error

[blackhwk77]

Do you have a separate install directory for each instance?

Do clean windows 10 install and  17.11.1 driver
Or:
Try OverdrivenTool

[Ursul0]

Gotcha, tnx) One last thing, so it's better to flash bios with modded timings and control clocks and voltage with overdriven tool? Cause I flashed the cards with fixed voltage and clocks already, so overdriven tool is of no help for some reason...

Yep, that's the way I prefer it - changing only the mem timings in bios. Volts and frequencies (which actually may vary between different algos)
However you still should be able to override gpu config from overdriven tool disregarding the bios values.

[alizali]

hi guys
my RX 470
core clock set in bios to 1169
i change it with -cclock option to 1150
but does not change
any reason?
any solution?

-mclock works fine

So I'm pretty new to mining and could use some help

I have ran 5 of my cards successfully but when I added the 6th I got this

Hey Claymore.

I just have to say thanks for this GPU Miner.
I have been using the miner for over a year now without any troubles 

[Ursul0]

I see huge influx of people here and some are way more clueless then the others...
so here some tips for you there, mining with Polarises on Win10:

1. make sure you have sufficient power on your PSU(10-20% spare from the peaks)
Note: properly configured polaris should be just below 150W on dual ETH
2. molex power to raisers is probably the most common point of failure (bad/unstable hash, card disconnects, crashes, and such)
Note: it seems there's no such thing as bad raiser, only bad contacts in power connectors
3. disable all you can via Group Policy, especially windows update and drivers update
4. use latest DDU and install 17.11.1 driver, pointing manually from Device Manager to the dir with unzipped driver
Note: Do not use blockchain beta driver as it has some issues with latest API and also doesn't support more than 8 AMD GPUs
5. set compute mode for all GPUs. here's the example for dev0 (special thanks to @ober for that):

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002

6. Flash bios mods with tighter straps. Look for PolarisEditor v164 with "one click modify" bios timings and use atiflash without gui
7. Use overdriven tool (RX5* Polarises normally do well on 1180 & 1950-2150 @ 850mv, RX4* may need lower core freq)
Note: do not use AB.
Note: do not use claymore for core&mem&fans control
8. Use sysinternals autologon and built-in MS task scheduler
9. make reboot.bat and set "-r 1", as restarting miner most likely will NOT work

Bonus:
* I'm using RealVNC for remote access - flawless
* you may find useful: display dummy dongles and usb watchdogs
* and as always openVPN is your friend

If I just made your life easier and increased your profits PM me and I'll give you my ETH address:)
