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

[neosone]

I have msi rx 480 8gb. What is the best setting for zencash? I mean core / mem frequency. I have 1077/2200 at the ethereum and it gives 26.8 Mh / s. Consumption is also lower from 140 W to 94 W. Ths.

I have 2 x r9 270x cards in a rig with Ubuntu 14.04 (the old fglrx drivers give much higher performance for those older cards and 14.04 is the last version with fglrx).  I can get it running headless but it isn't reporting temperatures - zecminer reports ADL initialization error.  To get it running headless I have to kill the X server first ("service lightdm stop").  After that it mines fine, but i want to see the temps.  I'm also not clear if it's obeying my config -ttli temp limits because of this.

My rig is running Debian 8 as it's old enough to have Xorg 1.16 and Fglrx in its repo while new enough to use Systemd with support to 2020. An X session needs to be running for libatiadlxx to initialize to monitor temps, fans and reclock.

I mine with R9 270X, and I had about 140-150 h/s last few days. But last night my h/s dropped to only 20?! I'm mining on nanopool, but tried it at flypool to. Same results.
Tried restarted miner few times but nothing.
GPU is not used fully, why? Any suggestions?

Yes, I have another rig with a IP KVM attached and that solves the problem there, but I can't get the headless rig to start mining when X is running; it craps out with the good old MIT magic cookie error.  I've tried enabling remote desktop over IP but still no banana.

Return to stock clock if overclocked and try again overclocking slowly. If this can't help, reinstall drivers. For this card the best are 15.12.

It's stock clock, and latest drivers. Restart of miner didn't help at all, but restart of entire machine did.
Now it's back to 130-160 H/s.

OK found a hack to get it working.  Installed Teamviewer, started graphical desktop session, started miner from separate ssh session (not GUI), disconnected GUI session.  Bit of a pain but best I've found so far.

Hello Guys I m with the 12,4 version and I have problem.
The miner is autorestarting and this problem start 2-3 days ago before I didnt had this problem.
Did some1 knows how to fix that? Thanks in advanced!!!

[dalibord]

I made a reboot file in same dir as miner but I need hlp with "-r" option. How to properly set it up so that it resets the machine if H/s drops bellow specified lvl?

did you check the log of the miner?   you had maybe a gpu what crash

Anyone knows why XFX RX480 hash rate decrease so much after Claymore V12.4 start from fresh?

When I upgrade to V12.5, I found the power consumption is higher while hash rate remain unchanged, so I changed back. However when I watched it for a while, I found the hash rate start from around 300 H/s each card and decrease very fast in a short time, around the second or third hash rate refresh, it decreased to 270 H/s. Btw I used afterburner to control -30% power limit, otherwise my 1000W PSU would not stand the 5 cards running at full strength which is around 1000W.

I think maybe several reasons below:
1. The motherboard is too old? P5Q Pro Turbo with E8400 core 2.
2. The risers are always in hot environment so degenerated after using for around 3 months.
3. Due to limited power limit, the miner cannot run at full speed.

Any advice? Thanks.

Does "Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v12.5" compatible with 1070 cards? If so, whats the configuration for these cards?

Hey guys, just wondering how people with a huge amount of rigs monitor their machines should one go down, etc, etc?

I only have a few rigs, but not enough monitors, nor enough power outlets in one area to use the same one, so it's been a struggle. Any suggestions?

In some pool, there are some monitors report the status of each rig.

...also check to get notified via email if some worker goes idle.

That is very handy feature.

Yes it was gpu crash , but what is causing this? Before i didnt have this problem.

I love it when someone posts the exact same question in different forums.....

Claymore is an AMD GPU miner, 1070's are NVIDIA GPU's

he even says it on the first page: builds for Windows x64 and Linux x64. No 32-bit support. No NVidia support.

please spend 2 minutes reading the instructions/forums, you would have spent less time reading it than posting your question in multiple forums

Driver update, card is older, O/S update.... back the O/C down a couple digits and it'll probably fix it

It is better to same the Clamore ZEC miner is for AMD cards only.

Guys I just want to revive my AMD 7970 GPU as a miner. Do you guys think it can mine decently with zcash? I just need some feedbacks and opinions about zcash mining and to find new GPU .

[PetATL]

With Claymore you can do with 7970 about 350-370sols with overlock

7950 do about 300sols
