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

[flekkelek]

Hello guys.

I am new to crypto mining.

Some time after start up of miner (usually after 3 to 7 shares have been received), I get the following error: "WATCHDOG: GPU 0 hangs in OpenCL call, exit"

I have never seen the GPU temp. go over 76deg.C and fan power is around 55%, however, just before the error GPU temp. and fan speed goes down considerably indicating a long lasting stall.

I have tried both versions 12.6 and 12.5 of the miner with the same result.

The initialization parameters are as follows:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool ssl://zec-eu1.nanopool.org:6633 -zwal xx.yy/mm@mm -zpsw z -ftime 2


The hardware is ATI RADEON R9 380 with 4 GB of memory running on Crimson 17.1.1 .

Any insight would be appreciated.

Regards,

try v12.2b the last working version on my 380x.

Check your computer for viruses and malwarebytes. Someone is likely to use your computer for mining.

Hello, dear friends!

Ive got several 280Xs mining Zcash for a long time. All are memory strapped , doing ~300 sols/s.
But now think of making them a little bit colder and quiter.

Could you plz point me for some manual of doing this ( i think undervolting or somethig)  ?

Best Regards.

Any advice please ?

My 280x are doing ~330-335 sol/s (Claymore v12.5), temp. is about 60-65C, fans at 40-45%, undervolted a little bit from 1.256 to 1.15, drawing from the wall aprox. 220W per card. You can undervolt your 280x more, but I don't care about electricity bills too much, so 220w is ok for me.
To undervolt my 280x I have used VBE and ATIFlash, just google it, there are a lot of articales about downvolting.

Thanks!

Sorry for offtopic, really missed the thread.

For most 280X, you can just use the MSI afterburner to undervolt.

If you are talking about equihash algo, than try:
- for AMD GPUs - Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v12.6 or v.12.5
- for nVidia GPUs  -> EWBF's Zcash cuda miner v.0.3.4b
also for nVidia GPUs you may try dstm's ZCash Cuda miner v.0.5.1 (Linux only)
