Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[TheFoes]

haven't kept up with the thread for quite some time.

any news when claymore will release an rx 4xx series enhancement version?

yeah waiting for update also.. lets not push Claymore.. let him take the time he need.. and release the best for Polaris card..

[Ursul0]

don't confuse people.
I've got here 6 rx400 on 1KW doing just fine (the most intensive dual eth&sc takes up to 920W from the wall, ZEC is about 750W)

EDIT: undervolted to the very bottom ('bout 850mv), lowered core, 2K mem, bios mod

Actually if the miner to lunch without your under volt software you will get 1100+W watt from the wall .
I did a test run with 6 rx 470 4Gb Nitro flashed with modded bios , Core 1130 Mhz , memory 1900 Mhz with 1500 strap .
It had 1150+W at the wall using Evga 1300 G2 Gold .
Once the Wattool kicks in and it is down to 900W

You need to make sure that voltage adjustment software kick in before miner or set Bios offset

Before Wattool



After Wattol


Some Crap PSUs will be rated at 1KW and will shutdown before reaching 1KW at the wall , others have multi rail with power distribution

well... if you cannot "make sure that voltage adjustment software kick in before miner" you probably should not mine.

at NO stage it goes above this peak (760W) 2*480 + 4*470

Will the new update of the miner be today?

i have 1 of these and its a great psu for a multirail design u can find them around 100 sometimes on ebay this is about max what u can draw from 1 120v socket

LEPA G1600-MA ATX12V 1600W Gold PSU

^Wow... 1596 watts available on the 12V rails alone. 133A.
lol

also has super low ripple the oem that made it is enermax

I dont like this PSU - bad 12V rail distribution.
see https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/LEPA/G1600-MA/2.html
"Power distribution on the modular panel is identical with the Platimax 1500 and is not ideal in my opinion. Normally 12V1 should power at least half of the peripheral/SATA sockets and not only the 24pin ATX connector. Also the first EPS connector is powered from a dedicated virtual rail, 12V2, so it could also feed the rest of the peripheral/SATA sockets. Two rails on only two connectors is an overkill while all other connectors have to share four rails.
Similar to the Platimax 1500 case, if you need to use the second EPS/ATX12V connector you should connect its cable either to the middle top socket or to the top right one, which is feed from 12V4 and 12V6 respectively. These rails provide power to a single 12pin socket (and to the peripheral ones) so you won't mix any PCIe connectors with this EPS, something that could lead to OCP activation in some cases. "

No. I plan to release it tomorrow, need to check different drivers to improve compatibility.

ok, thanks for information )

Oh , the agony!!! To wait to be better at mining ZCash!!

[cracker666]

here's hoping its beter than optiminers for my R9 380's

[Ursul0]

@Claymore Any plans to update cryptonote miner?

[zengyst]

So thanks for the advice to get the RX480. Great card! working out well. only have the full speed test on eth claymore and it shows 30.5Mh/s, 2100/900mem, 105W. seem alright.

Have a question about zcash mining vs eth. I see the post where someone has nheqminer, zcash, eth and dcr going all at once. Does this make sense to dual/triple mine anything?

I have tried the claymore eth dual claymore running eth only and zcash claymore together. Of course both run slower, but combined is like 9% more monthly value....

So I'm curious, is just running the eth + dcr better? or the zec miner + something other than eth?

[mettalmag]

Can someone give me an example of dwarfpool config out of this:

Code:

-zpool zec.coinmine.pl:7007
-zwal ****.Rig115
-zpsw 1234 
-r 720 
-tt 70
-tstop 90
-ttli 83
-i 4
-mport 3333

Thats crazy! Very low wattage with a decent hashing speed
Did you also undervolted your cpu ?

lol that is such crap bro it has 30a-40a on each rail its fuckin 1600-1700w psu bad 12v distribution lol that garbage article johnnyguru's is way better and actualy tested it properly

also from that techpowerup
To sum up, this is a very good PSU with an overall outstanding performance and enough power to feed a dual CPU system with five high-end VGAs and a ton of peripheral devices, water cooling pumps, lighting accessories etc. Also its price, for what it has to offer, is very good since we found many lower capacity units costing way more, and offering less. Apparently Enermax, through LEPA, managed to release the strongest PSU on the market at a competitive price, which will really hurt the competition in this segment. Finally, the G1600-MA easily earns a recommendation from me despite its loose +12V voltage regulation because it is ripple proof, highly efficient and currently holds the title of the strongest desktop PSU, which at the same time manages to meet the 80 PLUS Gold requirements.

And Linux version tomorrow?

v11.0:
..........
Linux version will be available later.

How much to wait? A year, two?

[Lucky - Luciano]

at NO stage it goes above this peak (760W) 2*480 + 4*470

Are the settings for the GPU Aftherburner / TriXX "military secret, strictly confidential," so you did not show them ? How many clocks for GPU, RAM, what is the  power limit and voltage in mV, the legend? And we want to save on electricity .

It's not needed he uses Watttool

GPU 1180
Memory 1750
both running at 904MV

true that. I never go above 1180MHz for the core on the last phase and it's never over 925mv.
btw memory read intensive dagger-hashimoto doing fine on 850mv (total power from these 6 is below 920W in dual mining)

eth only is 816W:

AS i think it's more difficult to make the linux version, but i notice that on linux my card has lower temp lower fan's %)

[rpg]

there r no extra cores to unlock on 290x/390x

correct, just run the cuinfo. just investigating if the 290x can run as a 390x as is claimed

Card #2 PCI ID: 1002:67B0 - 1787:2342
DevID [67B0] Rev [00] (0), memory config: 0x500013A9 Elpida
Hawaii-class chip with 11 compute units per Shader Engine
SE1 hw/sw: F8000005 / 00000000 [...........]
SE2 hw/sw: F8000005 / 00000000 [...........]
SE3 hw/sw: F8000005 / 00000000 [...........]
SE4 hw/sw: F8000005 / 00000000 [...........]
44 of 44 CUs are active. HW locks: 0 (R/O) / SW locks: 0 (R/W).

yes as they are the same just 390x comes stock with 8gb ram and a bit better power optimizations and higher default clocks
but yes u can use either or bios depending on card pcb and there are 8gb 290x's

mine is the powercolor first reference with 4 gig. Can I still do it?

from the above u have elpida ram which is slower than hynix just use the bios from the modded thread from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1676474 since u have a ref like u said scrol to the bottom and use those set clocks to whatever keeps the temp 75c or lower and mem to 1450 depending on how good those elpidas r u might get a stable 1475 on the ram

I have it running stable at 1110/1440 @80C. will be buying the ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme III cooler. They say it helps both with the temp and mostly noise. Staying at a hotel and the noise is really a problem lol

that doesnt matter when u run a modded ram timings as what is done is the timings used on lower clocks are set to the higher giving u better speed at higher clocks than norm but can also reduced total speed u could do before on stock bios like ram on a pc if u set tight timings u wont oc as much

got it running at 335, not bad for a $70 craigslist card :-)
