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

[Yerba]

With 9.2 - 370 h/s. Thats cool.
Only one question remains - how? All is stock.

[nevermind41]

9.2 isn't stable like old releases for all systems. Mostly it fails in 6 X vga rigs. I updated from 9.0 to 9.2 and I always got gpu0 hangs.

Strange, for me it is more stable than 9.1 or 9.0 ( 6x 480s - modified for ETH but @ 1200/1950 )...

I have 3 rigs wwith 6 X 8gb 470 nitro. All give same error ''gpu0 hangs'' after miner starts in a few minutes. This is the same in my friend 6 X rigs But there is no problem in rigs which have less then 6 gpu. And also I must say that with 9.0 all rigs are stable.

Im getting 277 h/s with my RX 470 8gb.

One of my 290s is doing 290 h/s but the other does 220 h/s. Will need to investigate that.

Thanks claymore.

WOW!  290 Sols/s on a 290?  Is this a ref model?  What clocks are you using?  I can't get more than 260 out of mine.

260 sol/s?
You should try flash your cards with Stilt BIOS.
I get 310 sol/s with ref R9 290 Stilt BIOS, 1100 core, 1450 memory.

I have 4 R9 290 Ref Models... This would be great!  Could you point me in the direction of the STILT BIOS you used?

You can find his BIOSes there. I used V44 version, but I had to rise voltage in Afterburner for stable work, so try V38 for safe. Use latest ATIWinFlash (2.7.4 in my case), it works just fine.

Same, I'll give it a whirl on my 290 REF. Whats the wattage per card with bios mod?

I don't have any wattmeter so can't say exact numbers. GPU-Z says "VDDC In" 130W most of the time with rare peaks up to 190W. I think real consumption somewhere around 200W from the plug.

@gerando. The link you sent is for the Stilt BIOS, which I need, but the onedrive link is broken.  I was able to find other bios by Insanity, but I have something really strange going on.  I flash all 4 cards I bought from Newegg (R9 290 ref). 3 come back as R9 290s and 1 comes back as an R9 290x! Can't figure out why.  Also, once I flash them, Afterburner has the mem and core blanked out and I can't change any settings.  When I start Claymore, all has at 0.  Reinstalled drivers and everything.  Any help would be great.  Thanks!

Most of shares will be rejected: GPU does not work properly. It must be drivers if you use stock clocks, try different drivers. In next update I will improve compatibility.

Might want to check your PSU.  If you are over 80%, you may want to increase the PSU size.  This worked for me when I had the same issues.

Yeah, version 9.x doesn't like PSU with poor ripple suppression, or overloaded.  I have 2 rigs of 6x 8gb 470 nitro never had a crash.  Pulling 920w with 1200w EVGA platinum psu, 1260 core, 2000 mem, 1040mv core, 1750 strap.  If it is same card always, check risers.  I did have one card that for some reason hated being on Win10 though, moved to a Win7 rig.  Have 6 rigs, never had CZM crash, even on an old 850w Seasonic Bronze from the Litecoin days.

instead reducing power limit to -30 worked for me without lossing too much hash

[nevermind41]

All psus that connected the rigs are more powerfull then systems need. This isn't psu related. I think last optimization isn't stable in all systems. This is the first time that I live such a problem.
by the ay all are working with 9.0 now

BIOS mod ? 370/s i have 225 ? What do you change pm me please

I had a same error with 9.2. switched back to 9.1 now. My rig hang after ~24 hours.

Currently I can only confirm issue with gpu-pro drivers that causes a lot of messages to syslog (and therefore high CPU load on multi-GPU systems), I'm working on it.

Thanks a lot, Linux version is highly appreciated.

I am not a fan of high hash rates for network, but I like your miners stability and management features. I had to use Optiminer on Linux and a telemetry convertor to make it compatible with Claymore's utility and own ethmon port (web-based monitoring). Now I just drag'n'drop it instead of Optiminer (that worked but was unstable and often crashed) and quite happy.

It can be unstable on some PSUs under low load if they have poor ripple suppression. you can also try reducing intensity, or lowering clocks.  I run all on -i 8, but some people have to run lower intensity.

[denis1995]

Hahahahaha linux version. Before saying he will never suport linux because he dont like the linux haters and now what? I cant stop laughing for real.  Well finaly the money is more important than the dignity. Happy holidays  xdd

What are your settings:

___________ GPUs
_____ SOLs
_____ SOLs per GPU
_____ Watts, _____ Amps at the wall
_____ W/SOL
_____ mem, _____ core
______W (gold/Platinum) PSU

I think evga 1300 g2 is enough

anyone know what this means

20:18:10:261   904   Frontend phase failed compilation.
Error: Compilation from LLVMIR binary to IL text failed!
20:18:10:261   904   16x binary failed, try 15x

cheers

Thanks Claymore for everything and wishing u a great Xmas (if u celebrate it!)

lol next post after this quote was asking for ETA of next update..... wait till next year and give the programmer a break !!!!

This is not critical error, so don't worry. Miner tries different binaries to select the best, if you use 15.x drivers then attempt to load 16.x binary will cause this message.

Are bioses moded? 1300G2 is enough. What clocks?
