Wolf's XMR GPU Miner

[bhanu545]

the "index" is the OpenCl number of your gpu...
I use index "0" and index "2" because I have the apu index "1" and I do not use it to mine

We need option to select platform...
https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-xmr-miner/issues/7

I realized you were right about this. We cannot change platform in wolf miner. There is no option at all. such a huge drawback. If we disable intel HD graphics then it considers AMD cards. BUT

And other thing frustrating is about that Error -1. so stupid. can never solve it.

[Buthenis]

I have 6 gpus but it wnt work whatever i do. Index 0 says error parsing. If i use index 1 it says no device found.

I think there is something wrong with amd software or miner itself.
Amd version is 16.10

Yes, I had some issues like this . I do not know how to solve it.
Give me an advance, Please. Thanks

running into problem , maybe someone have clue whats happening

miner is rock stable with superb power consumption, but from time to time one of cards (random) spins fans up to 100% , i can reset that crazy spinning in afterburner , but then auto speeds are left broken @0% fan speed , and temps are rapidly growing.

using 5x sapphire nitro+ 8gb , win10 , wolf-xmr-miner-v0.4
p.s. i switched from win7 to win10 cause of Error -1 when calling clGetDeviceIDs for number of devices plague , win10 solved issue with unavailable cards.

any ideas ?

I have exactly the same problem, and I've tried about every combination of auto fan/manual fan.

Conclusion: The miner is not rock stable, it is very unstable!

PS: This problem occurs both with wolf-xmr-miner-v0.4 and with sgminer-gm 5.5.4 under Win10 x64 with RX 480 rigs

actualy the same thing happening in Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner v9.6 too , in claymore miner resets fan to 0% speed itself , wich is even more dangerous.

so it seems there is no reliable cryptonight miners out there unfortunately

That is not my experience.  I am running 11 different rigs with Claymore's CN GPU miner v 9.6 and I monitor them with his Dual Miner Manager 2.1.  I have not experienced what you describe.  Are you specifying a target temp for the GPUs?

hello,

I found a good setting for my two rx470

   "threads": 2,
   "rawintensity": 508,
   "worksize": 4

with this setting I've a 1382/1384 h/s in wolf vs 1366 h/s in claymore at at same consuption (210w at wall)

please try an other combination and share it

hello

not able to reproduce those rates.  I see more like 512h/s with those settings.

Best rates for me on RX470's come from

   "threads": 1,
   "rawintensity": 1000,
   "worksize": 8

I just tried this out with both sets of these parameters and I get about 30 more sols using:

        "threads": 2,
   "rawintensity": 508,
   "worksize": 4

which gives me about 590 sols on a single RX470 4GB (1250/1850).

If I up the rawintensity slightly to 512 I can get about 610 sols, which is still far short of the 690 sols per card that tony_crunk reported.

am i the only one who just lets the cards manage their own fan? i dont set anything in the miner as far as fans are concerned.

I've tried that too! Let the AMD drivers take care of fan speed adjustments. However, after a while, one of my cards will always randomly start spinning at 100% speed.

i might add thats only happening when mining cryptonight , no such issues with equihash or dagger-hashimoto

Let me rephrase my question:  Are you using the command line argument for temperature target, like "-tt 80" ?

what video card you have?
I have a sapphire rx470 nitro 4GB undervolted, underclock core and overclock ram (1126/1950 at 849 mvolt)

[el_rlee]

I switched over to sgminer-gm which has fancontrol and exactly the same hashrate... (same kernel?)

Using RX 480 cards, with AMD drivers 16.9.2 fan control is very defective and causes miner either to shutdown or to set fans spinning a t full throttle

derp.. so much for my theory.

been lucky so far or maybe cuz the rig is in the basement some DO hit 100% and i dont notice.

390s and 380s with 15.12 in the basement. 470 with 16.10.1 upstairs that i would notice but only had it a few weeks.

i don't use fan control of other setting of miner software but I use WattTool 0.92

I haven't problems

[Trimegistus]

Upgraded my AMD drivers from version 16.9.2 to 16.11.4 and the problem appears to be solved.

Rigs working flawlessly for 12 hours straight

FYI -

When this event happens in wolf v0.4, the miner keeps mining but never finds shares.    So it just spins cycles for hours and makes you no coin.   Overnight I had 7 hours of 0 shares.

So you might want to add that string ("your IP is banned") into your monitoring programs to reset the miner.

My bad, I was doing the testing on a rig which had cards with the default VBIOS on them.

With the modified VBIOS (memory straps mod) I get around 720 H/s each or 3600 H/s on a 5x RX470 GPU rig with these settings.
