Would you be willing to share your bios? Do you copy the ubermix straps to 1750-2000, or even at 1600?

Even at 1625

Here an screenshot:

Currently with xmr-stak (2.0) with 1024 intensity 8 workers for the GPU:

HASHRATE REPORT - AMD
| ID | 10s |  60s |  15m |
|  0 | 776.8 | 773.6 | (na) |

Something sure is wrong.
On Samsung with Uber straps you should be getting about 1kh/s at 1200/2050.

It doesn't mind the PCI-x 2.0 slot to reach the 1KH/s?

You can add new pool: https://etn.nanopool.org/

Currently only claymore miner or can we use a different one?

If he's running the card at 2000+ MHz memory clocks, it shouldn't matter what his 1750 and 1600 straps are.

No, a lot of people use pci-e 2.0, for most motherboards it's the only way to run multiple GPUs per board (they won't work with 3.0). Try reinstalling the AMD driver (with cleaning the old one with DDU first).

I first had installed the blockchain driver. Now I have the latest driver 17.11.1. Same hashrate tho... Did both uninstalls in safemode with DDU

Do you think it's possible that I have 5 "bad" cards with samsung mem, that do not really want to go past 2000mhz on mem?

What hashrate are you getting with the claymore miner? And what settings does it run with by default?

Do you think it's possible that I have 5 "bad" cards with samsung mem, that do not really want to go past 2000mhz on mem?

Going past any clock will totally depend on the timings you use. All my Polaris cards with samsung memory chips don't go much above 2000 MHz with the timings I've got flashed. And I think there are also different samsung chips used on different cards (i.e. my 4gb Nitro 480 cards have different memory chips than my red devil 8gb 580s, though both are made by samsung). I've only got two 580/8 cards with samsung memory, and neither is stable at above 2 GHz with the "uber" timings (hw errors in hwinfo at 2025+). But the 480/4 nitro cards go to ~ 2050-2080 MHz before hw errors start showing up.

With Claymore I cannot surpass the 400H/s, is the worst for me compared to sgminer and xmr-stak
Using default settings plus:
-allpools 1
-ftime 10
-dmem 1

What's the value for the "-h" argument? It's kinda the main thing in the claymore miner, you can see it when it starts.

This are my current stats with HWInfo:

Did you try lower mem clock? Sometimes when the card is overclocked too much it's just not stable anymore and runs in some kind of emergency mode, with the hashrate being a lot lower than you'd expect. It happens quite often with claymore miners, same thing with the ETH miner where you could get 30 MH/s at xx clock, but then you add 50 MHz more and now it's only 12-14 MH/s. Did you just set your memclock to 2250 MHz and that's it? Have you tried lower clocks? I'm getting ~ 950 H/s at 1200/2000 MHz with those "uber" timings and samsung chips. My cards aren't very stable anymore even at 2050 MHz, and 2250 is just so ridiculous I wouldn't even try that clock. 

If your card is actually stable at 2250 MHz memclock, then there's also a good chance that you made a mistake editing your bios and you haven't actually flashed those tight timings. Most bioses these days have 2 sets of timings for different memory types, and some people put their new straps in the wrong place. For example, your Nitro card might have a set for the cards with hynix chips, and another set for the cards with samsung chips. Maybe you put that uber strap into the fields meant for the cards with hynix chips?

Hi all,
In my haste to get on the ETN bandwagon, I created a wallet using cli prior to daemon full-sync.

$20 in ETN was sent to this wallet before I realised something was amiss. I then made a new wallet with daemon fully synched.

It has worked fine since, but that first $20 has never shown up in wallet #1. Is it gone forever?

If you still have the private key for your first wallet you will just need to set it up and save it as a different wallet in the client.

Btw: I really like how the ETN coins are flying in since yesterday, getting 30+ coins an hour with my humble RX 570 rig. Returns are impressive right now - enjoy it while it lasts

Well, those are pretty much my results. The 480 nitro+ are running at max 2080MHz with bios ubermix straps copied from 1750. Should I maybe try with the straps at 1650, or leave it like this?

[wacko]

What 1650 strap? You should flash the fastest timings you can find. If it's the openly available "uber" strap for samsung, then that's the one you use. If you have access to an even faster strap - then flash that one by all means. I've no idea what 1650 strap you're talking about so not sure whether it's faster than your current one or not.

My mistake. I meant to the 1625 position. The strap that I am using is ubermix.

[wacko]

I meant to the 1625 position. The strap that I am using is ubermix.

Why would you flash anything other than the stock strap to the 1625 position? Are you mining with the memory clock set to something in between 1625 and 1750? If you are, then sure, put a more aggressive strap in there. If your memory clock in mining is 1750 MHz or higher, then it makes 0 sense putting any alternative straps on the 1625 position. You're not using it anyway, those straps are not activated until you actually set your memclock to smth inside the 1625-1750 MHz range.

Hello Guys,

i got 6 Rigs and one rig make me trouble.

"ccminer 2.2.3 (Dec. 2017)" @ ETN

Here you can see my trouble, what can i do ?

With Claymore I cannot surpass the 400H/s, is the worst for me compared to sgminer and xmr-stak
Using default settings plus:
-allpools 1
-ftime 10
-dmem 1

What's the value for the "-h" argument? It's kinda the main thing in the claymore miner, you can see it when it starts.

I'm using in both xmr-stak and claymore 1020 for intensity and -h respectively

This are my current stats with HWInfo:

Did you try lower mem clock? Sometimes when the card is overclocked too much it's just not stable anymore and runs in some kind of emergency mode, with the hashrate being a lot lower than you'd expect. It happens quite often with claymore miners, same thing with the ETH miner where you could get 30 MH/s at xx clock, but then you add 50 MHz more and now it's only 12-14 MH/s. Did you just set your memclock to 2250 MHz and that's it? Have you tried lower clocks? I'm getting ~ 950 H/s at 1200/2000 MHz with those "uber" timings and samsung chips. My cards aren't very stable anymore even at 2050 MHz, and 2250 is just so ridiculous I wouldn't even try that clock.  

I've been tweaking a bit the whole system

Now I get with claymore 920H/s
Essentially I was using a -h of 700
The I tried 900-950-1000-1050 and found that the peak was at 1000 and in 1050 it went down back. So I found that anything in between 1020-1025 gives a better value than 1000. 1030 decreases also.

About timings, CC increased to 1400Mhz and MC reduced to 2150 (no difference with 2250 or with 2050). This does not affect the power consumption. So I don't mind leaving it at 2050, 2150 in this case.

1400Mhz/2150 - 920H/s (~130W power)
1300Mhz/2150 - 890H/s - (-7W)
1200Mhz/2150 - 860H/s - (-14W)
Changing the MemClock:
1400Mhz/1750 - 860H/s - (no reduction in W)
So essentially anything over 2000Mhz does not affect the Hashrate, CC have a little performance (3%). While Electroneum stays so high, this 3% it's really important. But when it drop I think it will be way better to go back to 1200Mhz/2050

The thing is that I cannot reach that 1KH/s even @ 1400Mhz. Even testing a lot of parameters.

If your card is actually stable at 2250 MHz memclock, then there's also a good chance that you made a mistake editing your bios and you haven't actually flashed those tight timings. Most bioses these days have 2 sets of timings for different memory types, and some people put their new straps in the wrong place. For example, your Nitro card might have a set for the cards with hynix chips, and another set for the cards with samsung chips. Maybe you put that uber strap into the fields meant for the cards with hynix chips?

I posted an screenshot with my current BIOS. Here it is:
https://i.imgur.com/GHKTdcv.png

As you can see, the 1:1625/1750/2000 straps have the mix 3.1.1 while the 2: (hynix) remains untouched.

[wacko]

1400Mhz/2150 - 920H/s (~130W power)
1300Mhz/2150 - 890H/s - (-7W)
1200Mhz/2150 - 860H/s - (-14W)

The main reduction in power consumption when you change the core clock is supposed to come from the reduced voltage. Of course simply lowering the core clock won't bring the power down by a lot. But when you lower the clock from 1400 to 1200, you can also lower the voltage down to at least 0.9V. That, in turn, will cut your power consumption very significantly.

Hi guys,

I'm using the XMR Aeon Stak with my old 7800 AMD card. Getting some ETH coins, but I like to watch movies while mining. Can't do that! I either mine, or watch movies using this miner. It apparently is using up too much of the video card, the movie freezes and won't play. 

Using the Nicehash miner (RIP Nicehash, that's why I'm here now) I could watch movies and mine too. I'm wondering if there's a way to tone down the miner a bit so that I can watch a movie. Otherwise I will just be able to mine when I am sleeping! 

I remember when Bitcoin at $50 was a big deal! Thanks to everyone here who helped me figure out how to mine it way back when. 

Now if most of my BTC hadn't been stolen by Mt. Gox, I'd be much richer.
