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

[ktu]

Damn, the increase speed is awesome but my rig is getting more and more heat and its summer here lol. Anyone did a comparison between mining zec and eth too see which one consume more energy?

I think both are nearly the same. It depends how much undervolting can take each algorithm. For me zcash is by a tiny bit less power consuming.
Currently here is a winter with -20 C outside. Inside it is +25 C because I have rigs in each room  . Excellent solution for heating the appartment  . But for the summer it is a hell. Two AC 1200 are not enough. I will need a third AC or have to figure out some way of channelling  the heat outside.

how do you fight dry air if its + 25 inside? I was thinking to use these for heating.... but it would be just too dry inside.

buckets of water strategically placed  with a fan blowing air across the top of the water

It is noisily, isn't it? How do you cope with it?

And also with the water it should be too humid inside. How long do you have this setting?
I am afraid the humidity will shorten the GPU circuits life?

Dwarfpool hasn't made a payment for 2 days now... WTF?

Maybe bad luck finding blocks last 2 days, low reward thus  below autopay treshhold ?

[Pennywis3]

Be carefull, ZEC profitability is droping fast....

EDIT: Ok, went back up

V.10 Very stable .

how we use "- added "-a" option to select best algorithm implementation for your GPU." in bat file???

where  place in this line???

Since my cards are undervolted I forced a constant fan speed at 50%. At that speed the rig is not too noisy. Of course it is not completely silent but I can live with that. As I said outside is very cold and snowy, so the moist from outside compensates the dry air from the fans. When the temps get normal - about and above 0 C,  I will move my rigs in one room. They are on specially designed tables with wheels (which have breaks to be stable) so I can move them easily around My only concern is the summer... Even in one room with AC they generate heat above 35 C so that a second AC in the next room is not capable of stopping the hot air.

OK they just paid

Report here! how many of you are using v10!!!??? stable or not??

[dragonchopper9]

I use this version, and I can say that it is very stable. No crashes, a very small number of rejected shares , about 0.25 %

 Humidifier(s) or an evaporative cooler (which is basically a large-scale humidifier designed to take advantage of the cooling effect of water vaporising)

Hello !

Is is normal speed for Windows 7 64 / Clymore's 10.0 V   ?

3X R9 280X XFX

 (1) let it run for a while to get stable and full count for stats.
 (2) 215-220 ballpark is reasonable for a R9 280x from what I've seen.
 

[jenci]

5x470 v9.3 1066H/s >>v10.0 1130H/s. 20 hour stable work. rejected shares 0.11%

on my "test rig" with one 280x (-a 2 -i 7) 220H/s but after 30-40 min hashrate up to 260H/s and many many rejects. pool is nanopool. 8 hour of work approx 25% of rejected shares. revert to 9.2

V10 nice and stable for me, only rejects is when the pool sends new work.

Thank you !
It's about 30 hours working but a same speed. total 650-660. Same speed was on Clymore's 9.3 ..... why ?

people have said 16.12.x drivers seem to give lower hashrate by about 5%, try rolling back to the 16.11.3 drivers and see if you get a speed up as those are the drivers Claymore has stated they use for testing

[Perfy]

Strange situation.

Farm on the motherboard ASUS H81M-PLUS.
Two 480-8Gb and two 480-4Gb.
Win7-64.
Crimson relive 16.12.1

Only on ZCash (10.0):
GPU0 (one of 480-4, connected to the last PCIEx1) behaves strangely:
on an algorithm 0 - small hashrate (89)
on an algorithm 1 or 2 - hashrate 600, but 100 rejects on this GPU.


On monero (Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner v9.6 Beta) or sgminer (sibcoin-mod) - everything is fine.

 Try 15.12 drivers on those cards, or 16.10.1 if you have to have newer for some reason. I've not tested 16.12.2 specifically but 16.12.1 was 5-10% slower on ALL of my testing vs the other 2 versions (16.9.2 was same speed as 16.10.1 but I prefer WQHL qualified versions when possible).
