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

[wa11mine]

Anyone else received the blue screen of failure to executed of none executed memory yet?

Problem happened to me on Win 10, I reinstalled win 10 and the 16.12 drivers for RX 4xx, 17.5.1 for RX 5xx.

This fixed my problem and was able to get 6 gpus running on H270-Prime PLUS.

@Claymore

There is no option provided to change(or pickups up max available) Computing units as it still configured for 14 CUs, however Rx 480 supports 36 CUs.
Please put some light on how to maximize the usage?

@Claymore

Do you think your ZEC or ETH miners will be able to take full advantage of a 2048-bit memory bus or is it too wide?

#

He does not know the definite answer until the card is out.

 Fury/FuryX/Nano also had a super-wide memory bus - same width I think?

 VEGA is basically the next generation of the FURY line, similar to how the RX 4xx/5xx line are the next generation of the mid-to-upper part of the R9 lines.

 It does appear that AMD intends the VEGA generation to extend somewhat lower in their card range this time around though.

Never, remember never to update the driver and go to sleep! I updated, went to bed, and one video card burned: D

Sorry for the loss, but this is better situation than burning in front of Your wide open eyes...

My 480s run at a constant 69 degrees, even the 390 is only running at 70.  No undervolting, standard clocks.  Just open case miner.

Hell I have been running my 280s for 3 years and have not had one fail.  Good air flow!!!

70C is very safe temperature.

Check your VRM temps as well

some cards do not display vrm temps. but if the core is cool, chances are the vrms are ok also.

edit: bad advice. see post by @Wolf0 below

[frowsiter]

Though I'm not in mining I liked your post. I did not go through all the parts however but seems to be heavenly information for miners. I'm no expert but for fury as you said updating won't work then not implement a extra ram to boost its memory consumption so that it may get faster. I'm not sure if it is really true but I read somewhere about the ram thing. It would be grateful if you correct me on my point. I will do mining someday but I'm very afraid that I will loose money on it as it is hard these days to mine coins. With your post a complete set up can be made for Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner. That's a fruitful info and thanks for sharing.

[vapourminer]

some cards do not display vrm temps. but if the core is cool, chances are the vrms are ok also.

Please don't give people who don't know any better terrible advice like that - I was mining on my linux dev/test rig, Naomi, just a day ago, and had strange crashes when core was under 70C.

I used one of my tools to check the temps on the VRM controller feeding the core - it was over 106C.

Also, I assume that under Windows, the tools you guys have should show VRM temps on all cards except those with an NCP81022 feeding the core - because I can't get temps off it either; cheap piece of shit has no sensor.

ok, i will take your word for it. edited my post above to strike out that line. guess ive been lucky.

what tools do you use?

[fmz89]

how do you lower the overall temperature of the work?

For instance open the window.

Yes you can do that, and also some big fans. The best is air conditioning

does undervolting gpu also reduce the gpu temperature?
and if gpu temperature reduce, does also reduce hashrates?
or what is the purpose of undervolting gpu?

the purpose is reducing power consumption around -40% , hashrate -15%, temp -15%
hope you understand what ppl mean

[jeremyf327]

any idea on the best pool to mine zec that is very profitable?

currently i use minergate pool, but it seems i only get penny after a block is found within 3-4 days of mining despite zec calculator says my little hashrate of 165h/s give $1 a day but on minergate i get only penny in 3-4 days.

I use suprnova.

Hello @Claymore,

I have problem with rx 480 and r9 nano running together. I tried driver from 16.9.2 to 17.5.2 without success.
R9 nano is not wotking with default settings, but it  give 340 H/s with -asm 0 -a 2.
When I use 15.12 driver without rx 480, it give 430 H/s.

Can you please advice in this case?

Hello @Claymore,

I have problem with rx 480 and r9 nano running together. I tried driver from 16.9.2 to 17.5.2 without success.
R9 nano is not wotking with default settings, but it  give 340 H/s with -asm 0 -a 2.
When I use 15.12 driver without rx 480, it give 430 H/s.

Can you please advice in this case?

u can't mix r9 nano with rx480 in 1 rig... that's because driver not compatible in claymore software.... u can mix r9 nano only with 390 or 390x.

any idea on the best pool to mine zec that is very profitable?

currently i use minergate pool, but it seems i only get penny after a block is found within 3-4 days of mining despite zec calculator says my little hashrate of 165h/s give $1 a day but on minergate i get only penny in 3-4 days.

 I've had good luck with flypool (zcash.flypool.org).

I tried several pools. flypool is the best.

I have Gigabyte motherboard that has 5 slots for GPU.
Now my question is; can i add extra external pcie adapter with 4 slots to my MOBO to make it 8 slots? will all the 8 GPU work with claymore on one MOBO?

am using windows 7 64bits

here is the link of the external pcei adapter

I have Gigabyte motherboard that has 5 slots for GPU.
Now my question is; can i add extra external pcie adapter with 4 slots to my MOBO to make it 8 slots? will all the 8 GPU work with claymore on one MOBO?

I have a 3 slot model, but checked that it works.
Just remember this is for AMD cards Only.

0k, i will take your word for it. edited my post above to strike out that line. guess ive been lucky.
what tools do you use?

As I said, I wrote them myself - the closest analog to what I'm working on and polishing is WattTool for Windows, I think. Allows you to see VRM temps, set/get voltages, set/get offsets, change VRM switching frequency, and more - but WattTool can only give you this control over IR3567B and compatible VRM controllers. Mine supports four controllers that are used in AMD cards as main controllers (and sometimes this main controller is used for other purposes in the card besides core volts - for example, XFX RS 470/480 cards use the NCP81022's main output (VDD) for core (duh) but use the other one (VDDNB) for the IMC voltage (VDDCI.)) I've also added basic support for one controller that's more of a secondary one, which I found on my DirectCU II 290X. It controls MVDDC.

sounds like a dangerous tool in the hands of a noob. those are the best kinds of tools IMO

any chance of your releasing it at some point?

I ethereu thanks to the rise of flour, provided it does not increase the difficulty is good. What is the reason for the lack of a new version in a long time ? I reached the border .

i by mistake cross the PSU wires and fed a Fury X with power from 2 different PSUs. Now it is total dead as a brick, no fans nothing. I bought it on the net second hand and have no RMA for it. I know the Fury has a fuse on each 8 pin connector. Would the different phases cause the fuses to blow?
