Hi,
I need your help.
I have 2x 280X cards and I was using the v8.0 miner (because that's what the pool I'm using directed me at).
Everything was working fine, until I upgraded to the newest amd driver 2 weeks ago. After that the miner would get stuck in a loop at random times, telling me that there was an issue with the gpu.
I've downloaded v11.1 and tried that, but the problem got worse. The miner will get stuck immediately after startup.
I downgraded my driver to 15.12 hoping that would fix the problem. It works more or less now. I can only use my primary card, in the upper most pci-e slot.
For diagnostics I took that one out and started the miner with the other card in the second slot. I immediately got an error message, telling me that no opencl gpu was found.
Is there a way to get my second card running again? (It will neither work with the v8.0 version that was just running fine before the driver update)


Did you use DDU to uninstall the existing drivers before installing the new drivers.   

Yes, I did

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Yes I'm working on new version with speedup for all cards. Need a few more days though.

Any news about "Claymore's CryptoNight GPU Miner" update?

You can read all of Claymore's posts for all of his miners here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=306958;sa=showPosts;start=0

Very handy to have so you can see when he releases updates to his other miners as well as the ZEC one.

Is the second slot on the mobo or a riser, if it is a riser sounds like it's a bad riser.  If its on mobo does it have a third slot you can try. Slots on mobo s do go bad also.  Also double check the seating of the cards, I've messed around in a rig and jarred one and they want connect. Also, you could try driver 16.5.2, it has been rather stable.  I'm running 8x 280x with 16.12.2 with no problems.  Also, what os are you using and is the rig used for anything else.

Chain is stuck at block 50534 27 minutes now!  Everything is frozen...

Difficulty of 1577367 proves too high for our GPUs.

huh? seems fine here... I think lol I'm hashing as normal it seems. However flypool has not found a block for an hour which is odd, Just looked at dwarf and it found a block 50536 a minute ago? so

Edit: Something peculiar is going on tho... maybe some massive farm joined the network....

ok, flypool just hit a block!!

notice how the network hash is dropping like a rock and flypool has now over 50% of the hasrate

Just to share what I've been observing with the "power spikes" and HWINFO64. Spikes seem to occur every 5-6 polling intervals (time = 100ms)

V9 (Intensity 8 ):

Fury Nitro:

1110/550, -108mv, ~352 S/s;

GPU Core Current: AVG 153A, but spikes as high as 247A

GPU Core Power: AVG 173W, but spikes as high as 280W

1140/550, -12mv, ~360 S/s;

GPU Core Current: AVG 175A, but spikes as high as 310A

GPU Core Power: AVG 210W, but spikes as high as 370W

RX470 Nitro 8GB:

1300/2100, -100mv, ~223 S/s;

GPU Core Current: AVG 78A, but spikes as high as 126A

GPU Core Power: AVG 78.3W, but spikes as high as 126W


V8 (Intensity 4 ):

Fury Nitro:

1110/550, -108mv, ~300 S/s;

GPU Core Current: AVG 145A, but spikes as high as 192A

GPU Core Power: AVG 165W, but spikes as high as 218W

1140/550, -12mv, ~310 S/s;

GPU Core Current: AVG 180A, but spikes as high as 224A

GPU Core Power: AVG 207W, but spikes as high as 274W

RX470 Nitro 8GB:

1300/2100, -100mv, ~190 S/s;

GPU Core Current: AVG 75A, but spikes as high as 99A

GPU Core Power: AVG 74.5W, but spikes as high as 99.6W

Do you think these spikes can be the reason why my rig freezes? I will describe my problem a little.

I have a 7970, a 280x and two fury nitros. During the last couple of weeks I have been trying to run my system stable with no luck. Freezes can happen at any time after starting to mine. Sometimes minutes, sometimes hours.

Rig specs: Asrock 970 extreme4. Sempron 145. 8GB ram. EVGA 1300 G2. Sapphire 7970 ghz edition, sapphire 280x vapor-x, 3x sapphire fury nitro OC. Tahiti cards undervolted on bios, fiji cards on msi afterburner. No OC on furys. Win 10. 12.6.3. CM 11.1.

First I changed all risers to v6 ones.

Next I upgraded the processor to athlon x2 because I noticed that I was getting less hashes when MSI afterburner was on and I thought the system would be more stable.

After a couple of days more I changed the mobo to asrock h81 pro btc with celeron 1840.

Still no luck.

I thought that the power was insufficient so I added a corsair rx1000 linked with an add2psu device.

No luck, freezes persist.

Changed EVGA to corsair hx1200i. This psu is powering mobo, raisers and tahiti cards.

Nothing changed.

I stopped undervolting. Still same freezes.

One fury died the day before yesterday. No fans, not detected in win 10, not detected on ubuntu, mobo not booting when the card is alone.

I changed risers again to the furys.

I used separate cables for each riser.

I powered the offending fury card with one cable for each connector. Still the same.

I tried catalyst 15.12. Same effect.

Sometimes I see 511 degrees in the fury card on CM log prior to freeze, sometimes it just stops hashing without any error and the watchdog doesn't restart the miner, sometimes all 4 cards go to 0.000 hashing without any error, sometimes after gpu reported incorrect temperature 511°C.

I'm already out of ideas.

Any hint, anyone?

Edit: typo

I also have this issue, I have 4xR9 Fury Nitro and also getting random freezes and one of my cards died in one of them. I have also tried different risers and MOBOs with no luck. It seems the Furys were not a good choice. Has anyone been succesful in running these cards stable? I'm out of ideas to try.

I've managed to run them stable for more than one day plugging two cables in each card. You know, instead of one cable from the PSU with 2x 6+2 pin, two separate cables from the PSU to the card.

I don't know if almost 36 hours is "stable" but it's already much more than what I had managed so far. And I had no problems mining ether before.

Hi,
I need your help.
I have 2x 280X cards and I was using the v8.0 miner (because that's what the pool I'm using directed me at).
Everything was working fine, until I upgraded to the newest amd driver 2 weeks ago. After that the miner would get stuck in a loop at random times, telling me that there was an issue with the gpu.
I've downloaded v11.1 and tried that, but the problem got worse. The miner will get stuck immediately after startup.
I downgraded my driver to 15.12 hoping that would fix the problem. It works more or less now. I can only use my primary card, in the upper most pci-e slot.
For diagnostics I took that one out and started the miner with the other card in the second slot. I immediately got an error message, telling me that no opencl gpu was found.
Is there a way to get my second card running again? (It will neither work with the v8.0 version that was just running fine before the driver update)


Did you use DDU to uninstall the existing drivers before installing the new drivers.   

Yes, I did
Is the second slot on the mobo or a riser, if it is a riser sounds like it's a bad riser.  If its on mobo does it have a third slot you can try. Slots on mobo s do go bad also.  Also double check the seating of the cards, I've messed around in a rig and jarred one and they want connect. Also, you could try driver 16.5.2, it has been rather stable.  I'm running 8x 280x with 16.12.2 with no problems.  Also, what os are you using and is the rig used for anything else.

It's plugged directly into the mobo. I don't think it's a physical issue, since it was working fine before the driver update to 16.12. Strange that it works for you though. I'm using windows 8.1 as my OS and it's my normal desktop PC.

How can I start miner before logon user? Win scheduled not interesting.
I use nssm for it. But it not understands parameter -tt -45 for fan speed. But if I start .bat file a fan speed is 45%.

 -tt 45

that extra - is messing things up

Can someone post a "general" safe OC/Undervolt etc. Profile for AMD Fury cards that is likely to work on all Fury as a start for tweaking for a noob? (Stock BIOS)

When you "upgraded to the latest amd drivers " were other ms updates done, if so you might want to try rolling back to that point.  Also, I thought you said both cards will work in slot 1 but neither will work in slot 2, is there a third slot? Sorry, also I'm win 10, there maybe others who can help with 8.1, left it as soon as I could.

I downgraded my driver to 15.12 hoping that would fix the problem. It works more or less now. I can only use my primary card, in the upper most pci-e slot.
For diagnostics I took that one out and started the miner with the other card in the second slot. I immediately got an error message, telling me that no opencl gpu was found.
Is there a way to get my second card running again? (It will neither work with the v8.0 version that was just running fine before the driver update)


Did you use DDU to uninstall the existing drivers before installing the new drivers.   

Yes, I did
Is the second slot on the mobo or a riser, if it is a riser sounds like it's a bad riser.  If its on mobo does it have a third slot you can try. Slots on mobo s do go bad also.  Also double check the seating of the cards, I've messed around in a rig and jarred one and they want connect. Also, you could try driver 16.5.2, it has been rather stable.  I'm running 8x 280x with 16.12.2 with no problems.  Also, what os are you using and is the rig used for anything else.

It's plugged directly into the mobo. I don't think it's a physical issue, since it was working fine before the driver update to 16.12. Strange that it works for you though. I'm using windows 8.1 as my OS and it's my normal desktop PC.
When you "upgraded to the latest amd drivers " were other ms updates done, if so you might want to try rolling back to that point.  Also, I thought you said both cards will work in slot 1 but neither will work in slot 2, is there a third slot? Sorry, also I'm win 10, there maybe others who can help with 8.1, left it as soon as I could.

No, unfortunately I don't have any system recovery points available. I only tested if the second card would work on it's own in the second slot. I only have 2 pci-e slots. I don't think the card itself is damaged, since it was outputting a video signal to my monitor. I would have left win 8.1 as well if the update process wasn't so horrible (I did it on my laptop and it deleted all my programs -.-).
Do you know if the opencl version is included in the graphics driver itself or if it is a standalone program? Maybe I could reinstall that separately.

Can someone post a "general" safe OC/Undervolt etc. Profile for AMD Fury cards that is likely to work on all Fury as a start for tweaking for a noob? (Stock BIOS)

1100/500 -48mv should be a safe place to start.

feel free to go 1100 and -96mv, if it crashes, just bring the voltage up a bit.  but it most likely wont for zec

Hi,
I need your help.
I have 2x 280X cards and I was using the v8.0 miner (because that's what the pool I'm using directed me at).
Everything was working fine, until I upgraded to the newest amd driver 2 weeks ago. After that the miner would get stuck in a loop at random times, telling me that there was an issue with the gpu.
I've downloaded v11.1 and tried that, but the problem got worse. The miner will get stuck immediately after startup.
I downgraded my driver to 15.12 hoping that would fix the problem. It works more or less now. I can only use my primary card, in the upper most pci-e slot.
For diagnostics I took that one out and started the miner with the other card in the second slot. I immediately got an error message, telling me that no opencl gpu was found.
Is there a way to get my second card running again? (It will neither work with the v8.0 version that was just running fine before the driver update)

The opencl is installed when the gpu drivers are installed.  Was anything else updated when you updated the amd drivers. Does the single card in the first slot mine properly.

For you Linux users out there... what is the preferred Distro?  I was going to go with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS... any recommendations and justifications/arguments for other distros?

I'm running 4x R9 Fury Nitro's (Sapphire).

debian with a minimal x interface or console alone once your tuning is dialed in.
