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

[sam29]

can someone please help me

 I was getting 33sols before using other program

I switched to claymors and started getting less because I had really new drivers

so I downgraded to the right driver (brand new GPUS)

I had some issues getting my PC to recognise my gpus

however now its up and running

1gpu gets 40 solds and the other gpu is only getting 10 sols... whats happening?

i then switched it to etc to see if it made a difference

an now i have 1gpu hashing at 25mhs and 1 gpu hashing at 4mhs

why the hell is one of my cards going super slow

its temp is 55 and fan of 14% (looks to mee like its not working)

if anyone can help me i would be forever grateful

can anyone please help me out? has any1 experienced this before?

why you downgrade drivers?
i have the latest ones installed, works all good so far

unplug the  25mhs card from the monitor then plug the 4mhs card into your monitor  then boot.

  see if they go to   25mh + 25mh  


 the 4mh bug happens with sapphire cards often  do you have that kind of card?  if not sapphire  xfx?

also what amd drivers do you use now?

i have the latest ones istalled, works all good so far

because I was only getting like 25 sols each from brand new 8gb rx480s (I was getting 33 sols each from the other miners)

and because the OP says to use 15.12

please help much love

ur a fuckin ledge dude, up and running now 40 sols + ea

Claymore -  Seems like -tt for temp control isn't working properly.  I set it to -tt 70 for my RX480 but on 1 rig it will push fan for 99-100% the entire time even when the rigs are at 58C, on another rig temps are still above 75C on many of the GPU and the lowest GPU temp are 72 with fans running in the low 20 percent.  These 2 rigs sit next to each other.  RX480 reference cards.

On a RX470 rig, I leave everything to default but it's running fan over 80% and the card is 38-45C.  These are MSI 470 4GB, sounds like it could be a driver issue?  Twin Frozr supposed to shut down the fans below 60C and then spin it again above 60C

Yeah this happens on my 6990 also.

Remember that slow start will stop at block 20000 with a reward of 10.
We are currently at block 5720, which means price could still drop by a factor of 3-4.

Exactly, expect it to drop for atleast the rest of the month I'd say.

That could be right. The price of the ZCash is dropping due to the number of coins are increasing day after day.

This is rather strange. It's all I get on all my machines now (I am testing the settings with my desktop machine for convenience):

This started when  upgraded to v1.1 but going back to v1.0 does not seem to solve it.
I can ping the address fine from all the local machines and I see active buy orders on nicehash for equihash.

[totikk]

So price drop 4x, ok.
And reward up from 2.872 (now) to 12.5 at block 20.000 == 4.35x
 So profit will be same like now. I'm right?

[nhan1957hacked]

Don't want to be an @ss but can we discuss ZCASH in another thread and just focus on the miner issues / development?  Don't want all the issues / bugs to be overlooked due to all the non related topics.   This fan issue with Claymore ZCASH miner is definitely causing stability issue for my GPUs.

I thought it was comparable to BTC, So 12.5 % 4 = 3.125 every 2.5 minutes.

[jsanzsp]

The price falls at 410 ,It remains profitable?

That is right if the price does not drop more than 4.35xx and the difficulty does not rise too much in the future.

Reward after block 20000 will be 10, not 12.5, as 2.5 will go to the founders.
Founders will stop receiving ZEC after block 850_000 when the first halving occurs. At this point miners will receive 6.25

someone test 6950 on win claymore?

sapphire radeon R9 280x vapor-x bios update possible en renable to do?

[GabryRox]

My rig saw a weird drop in hash-rate... was getting in the range of 166-172 for close to 24 hours using 1.1 (4 MSI RX 470 4GB - strap1500 mod, under-volted, over-clocked).  About 3 hours ago, I had an ISP disruption and had to reboot my rig.  Since then (and after 2 additional reboots) my HR has fallen to the 150-158 range.  All settings in afterburner were returned to my standard overclocks but I am seeing about 10% drop in HR and nothing else has changed. Running same exact v1.1 with exact same parameters.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?  I'm at a loss for what to try.

[denis1995]

can someone please help me

 I was getting 33sols before using other program

I switched to claymors and started getting less because I had really new drivers

so I downgraded to the right driver (brand new GPUS)

I had some issues getting my PC to recognise my gpus

however now its up and running

1gpu gets 40 solds and the other gpu is only getting 10 sols... whats happening?

i then switched it to etc to see if it made a difference

an now i have 1gpu hashing at 25mhs and 1 gpu hashing at 4mhs

why the hell is one of my cards going super slow

its temp is 55 and fan of 14% (looks to mee like its not working)

if anyone can help me i would be forever grateful

can anyone please help me out? has any1 experienced this before?

I am with the same problem and no1 is answering me if you find how to fix that pm me please If I find i will pm you

After much testing. The most ideal speed is at 1070/1375. Going any higher frequency on the memory results in no speed changes. Same with going to the previous or next memory strap. I think my limitation is this CRAPPY Sempron single core processor because I was able to go above 50Sol/s in an i3 rig.


For any 7950 7970 7990 280x with H5GQ2H24AFR MEMORY you can use this

Here are some benchmarks

Only 1 I left stock the rest are modded.

Try it and let me know what speed you guys get. Maybe with an i7 you can get 60Sol/s on a 280x.


EDIT: Now they are all running at 50Sol/s. I think the way Claymore calculates speed isn't accurate sometimes.

Who made the timing strap mod. Stilt once said the AFR was already very tight, so he did not change the BIOS.

Does this mod also affect the lower frequency such as 900 or 1000, 1125 MHz?
