Hey dev,
I cant get the miner to bench bci
PhoenixMiner.exe -coin bci -bench amd
The benchmark runs to ETH instead, which works fine
Yes, the bench mode doesn't support BCI (or dual mining for that matter) yet. This will be implemented in the next release.
Hi, how can i start Phoenix miner with exe file like Claymore not with bat file.
In Claymore i use exe file to start miner with configured config file.
I need to start with exe because 3rd pary software.
Thanks
In the same way as Claymore's miner: add the desired command-line parameters in config.txt file, optionally add the pools in epools.txt if you want to be able to change them without restarting the miner, then just run PhoenixMiner.exe by double-clicking it. Note that there are example config.txt and epools.txt files in the PhoenixMiner's folder - you just need to change the wallet address in config.txt file to your own wallet address.
ProgPOW Bitcoin Interest NVidia ?
Will be implemented in the next version.
Can someone help me ? I am using latest 4.2c on ubuntu and 6xRX580s . when I load the miner, GPU1 cannot load DAG because it only has 2.8G VRAM. How do I fix this ? Is there a way for me to use the onboard graphics instead so it doesn't use my GPU?
If you have integrated GPU, it is best to use it for the OS, display, etc. However, even with using one of the mining GPUs as primary adapter, the OS shouldn't "eat up" so much VRAM from your GPU unless you are running some software using 3D acceleration or compute.
tested with wattmeter - v3 kernels on P104 work exactly as v2.
Can you confirm that you are seeing v3 kernels loading in the log file? (it should be in the first few pages of the log file, immediately before the card starts to actually mine). We have tested on GTX1080, which should be the same as P104 but perhaps the better memory timings in P104 cause the difference in behavior.
@PhoenixMiner: I started using version 4.2c this week. But the hashrate was much more unstable than before. Now I'm using the previous version again.
Please let us know which OS, and drivers you are using. There are no big changes in AMD kernels, but we have added the -fcm option to force better fan control if the drivers/VBIOS doesn't cooperate when "asked nicely"
The default value is -fcm 0, which basically asks the VBIOS/driver to keep the card at specified temperature, fan speed, etc. However, if the driver ignores the request (as it started doing in some of the latest 19.x drivers), PhoenixMiner switches to the "forced" method. Most probably your cards are hitting the thermal limits or power limits (or max fan speed limits, etc). You can get the old behavior by specifying
-fcm 1, which will force PhoenixMiner to use only the old fan control method even if the card doesn't behave as instructed.
What is this error? anyone help me.
Thank you!
2019.03.30:17:12:15.216: main Inavlid key sequence; please enter a single digit or three digits, starting with 0
You have accidentally pressed one or more keys (most probably 'e'), which should be followed by digit key(s), specifying which pool in epools.txt you want to use. The miner just complains that the next pressed key is not what it expects.
This seems like a "normal" pool connectivity problem - for whatever reason the connection to the pool is not stable. If this happens again and again with the same pool and with PhoenixMiner 4.2 but not with 4.1, let us know and we will look into the issue. In such case, please send us a log when this happens (on PM if you want), and we need at least five minutes or so before the connectivity problems, or just send the entire log and we will analyze it.
Hi folks thought I would share the results of my fan mod on Radeon VII and the results were really amazing!
https://youtu.be/LmEf9qP5GbECheck out the video above. If I had better fans I would have been able to get even faster MH/s.
Regards
Very nice, some of us may start to stockpile Radeon VII for the next mining boom
Hopefully there will be custom cooling versions too.
It's not even close to efficient if that's the question... Even @ 90MH/s you're burning too much power. 80-85 is a good spot, I'm doing 82 @ 215w.
For 24/7 operation we run our R7s severely underclocked and undervolted at 1200 MHz/7xx mV (depending on the card), because they are too loud, and they still make 62 MH/s per GPU!
