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

[leonix007]

Hello,
I was mining with claymore 9.8 & 1 card NVIDIA 1060 and I did some OC with msi afterburner, I was getting BSOD & freezing on windows 2-3 times a day, recently I had bought 2 XFX 580 4G & start mining with Claymore 10.2 using the command -tt 69,69,0(0 for NVIDIA), I lowered the OC of the gtx 1060 but i was still getting freezing in windows but no more BSOD, until yesterday the rig mined all the night without any problem then in the day the rig crashed on windows and the fan of the cards stopped and i smelled burning smell coming out from one of the XFX 580, i restarted the pc & I found that the card can be detected with gpu-z but when i start Claymore i got BSOD so the card is dead, now i am afraid that the same think will happen to the other cards, so I am looking for help to avoid that problem will happen again.
i was using "-dcri 30,30,38 -ftime 10 -cclock 1100,1100,0 -mclock 2045,2035,0 -cvddc 900,900,0 -mvddc 900,900,0 -tt 69,69,0" i got eth +decri 29,29,21 & 875,875,274.
Regards

Try to lower your clocks, and adjust your -tt to at least 75, are you using risers? the burn smell could be your riser as the AMD rx580 is a power hungry unlike the GTX, check your cables from riser to PSU, probably there burnt connectors out there.

I did test the riser it works fine, the card tested with no OC same problem.

Hows your device manager settings? are they in normal without any errors? I would suggest to do the test one by one, exclude nvidia first and let the AMD to be installed and do the mining. this is to isolate what may be the culprits. riser may look fine but in a while they seem to be faulty try to replace them if you have any extras.

Hello Claymore
Any plans on releasing 10.3 for this ..more so with the new Adrenalin drivers released by AMD ? and when would it be
How do I know when a new version is released.

Hello,

I have huge loadavg when mining in Linux on a 13 gpu rig (Asrock H110+, 13xGTX1060). The load starts at 3-4 then goes up to 150-160 in a matter of couple of hours. Then the rig locks up and I need a hard reset.

When mining with lower intensities around 1-2 the load is lower but the hashrate takes a big hit.

What can I do ? Currently it's not usable.

thanks.

Hey guys, need an answer ASAP as I'm rushing to buy cards.
Is this card OK, how much can be pushed? What memo does it have?
Thanks.

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

Managed to reset everything and start again, now pulling 840w-845w.  alot better than the 960w it was pulling. And managed to squeeze out another 1MH/s and lower temps a degree or 2

Not sure what happened overnight, but woke up to the rig going nuts, pulling 1150w, killed miner and restarted, now pulling 765w - 770w WTF?

After a reboot its now pulling 900w - 920w erratically.

Anyone have any ideas?? its getting frustrating, it can run for weeks stable as hell and poof overnight, no changes it just decides to throw a wobbly.

My 7x RX470 rig has been running for months no issues (fingers crossed), so solid. But the RX480 rig, same OS, same CM, Same Drivers, Same PSU's etc does not.

Anyone has any idea how to get rid of "AMD ADL library not found" for claymore 10.2 error in ubuntu. Have AMDgpu-pro 17.50 installed . DO I have to install  ADL library separately , if yes then how and from where ?

[duniek]

Do you have a separate install directory for each instance?

yes

different names also

[timbereagle]

an updated version for Nvidia cards speed up would be very good I believe GTX1070 and 1070ti has more room.

Note: do not use AB.

Thank you very much for writing such a good faq. But can you please explain why using AB is bad idea? Is he bad at OC or there is some problems, releated to mining?

it is way too persistent with it's own settings and may create some conflicts with win/drivers.
also it is too general and you cannot get the best possible performance

do not use blockchain drivers and use overdriven for gpu configs

Hi,

i have few cards AMD RX580 with older crimson driver for windows -tstop 85 -tt 65 -fanmin 65 -fanmax 100 -cclock 1130 -mclock 2150 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 850 -dcri 18 works sometimes and sometimes not, depend on the driver, older driver works 100%

now the latest driver Adrenaline does not work at all.

any way to enable claymore set voltage for windows and clock settings? because everytime oc reboot it looses the amd setting i define in the profile.

which driver do you recommend to do voltage control and clock control under windows?

Thanks.

Using 17.11.1 (Nov 2) and Claymore OC works with it.

Hello, could you help me with an issue please?

My video card is a R390X.

Today I'd plugged in an old card (4870) just to see if it still worked. Then I took it out and also re-installed the Radeon software. But after I'd turned on the miner again, it no longer outputs the purple text strings with the temperature and fan speed of my card.

It still recognizes the R390X and mines normally, but this lack of information on temp is making me nervous.

If its windows then I suppose you need to go for DDU and then reinstall drivers.

Hello guys

When i try to use the OC in the miner the OC settings only apply too GPU0 not GPU1 and so on.

Are this a bug in the program or do i something wrong?

My cards: RX 580
Driver: Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23
atikmdag-patcher-1.4.6
Bios flashed: Yes


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 -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal MYWALLET.rig1 -epsw x -mode 1 -tt 65 -fanmin 75 -fanmax 100 -cclock 1200 -mclock 2250 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 850 -dcri 8/12

When i OC with afterburner it work fine on all cards. But i want to use the miner to do it

I've used DDU's driver removal function and installed my drivers again. Now it shows this:

Still no temp strings...

You will need to specify the parameters for each GPU..e.g. -cclock 1200 ,1200,1200 if you have 3 gpu

If its showing Standard VGA graphic adapter then correct drivers are not installed. May be from device manager, update driver for it manually and see if that helps.

It does the same with this

 -epsw x -mode 1 -tt 65,65 -fanmin 75,75 -fanmax 100,100 -cclock 1200,1200 -mclock 2250,2250 -cvddc 850,850 -mvddc 850,850 -dcri 8/12
