PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

[cfw34683]

there is nothing to fix, since this is not a breakdown, but you need to insert a monitor emulator as always, it's time to know this since you have been since 2014

From 2014 to 2016 i had a Sapp 7950/280x farm..
2016 to present Aorus 1070's .. No need for vga plugs, no unstable drivers.. and profitable mining until today (eth 30mhs/125w). Not a single regret being on the green side.

But 5700xt's are worth a try and i got a nice deal on Asrock Taichis.

back to the subject..
I used a VGA/DVI adapter with some resistors back then, whats used nowadays in the digital connectors for monitor emulator??

thanks for your answer!

these are much cheaper at amazon. 1 two pack is 8.99

Driver version in that case does not matter. PM5.0e works stable. Just for experiment I installed the lastest driver. Mining speed was decreased.

After rollback to PM5.0e I still have error 999. So looks like something with hardware. May be I should update overclocking values.

[j2james]

Anybody has played with overclocking settings using MSAB and provided by PM? I'm interesting in GTX1070. Can I use the same parameters from MSAB in PM overcrocking congif or they will be other ones?

[greasepit]

Has anyone ever tried to run amd and nvidia stable on the same rig?

I was running 6 rx 580 perfectly, however I added a 1080Ti and after 2 days running it crashed (black screen) leaving no trace of the cause apparently.

yes I do. should be no problem. I have polaris vega and pascal (and 5700 too actually) in same rigs. works fine. also I always set my volts for AMD independently of miner apps

Yeah now it's running fine, my mobo has 6 PCI-E and I installed an adapter multiple card (PCIe 1 to 4 PCI-Express). It seems this adapter was not well connected and a reseat resolved.

This adapter:

Hello,

Currently i am using PhoenixMiner, to mine eth/etc on nicehash.

I got blindsided because of the DAG today, i could mine ETH but not etc because of the DAG, i was using PhoenixMiner 4.9c.

I updated to 5.1c and now everything works fine.

I did some benchmarks and found out that PhoenixMiner 5.1c can mine ETC until 23/NOV/2020 and ETH until 19/JAN/2021 (EPOCH: 388). From 389 onwards it crashes.

Will i have to update phoenix miner again (if there is a new version) on 23/NOV/2020 to continue mining ETC on nicehash?

Also can you add the max epoch until you can mine Ethereum in the Readme please?

Thank you!

[Dnf]

How to switch ETH to ETC?
i could mine ETH but not etc. i use PhoenixMiner 5.1c.

Any solution ?

I had this issue before where the main GPU0 (one in the x16 3.0 slot) would run into issues while the other GPUs always worked. This was with Claymore however but I think your reason might be similar.

After much investigating I discovered that if you have a GPU inside the main slot, it requires SLIGHTLY more power than any of the other GPUs. Usually it runs on PCI 3.0 instead of PCI 2.0 as the other 1x slot. So since it requires more power and all your GPUs are undervolted the same, the rest will hash fine but that one will crash from time to time.

My advice, just up the voltage a little and see if the problem goes away.

hi, in order to run miner minimized I launch:

start /min C:\Users\userpath\miner\PhoenixMiner_5.1c_Windows\PhoenixMiner.exe [params]

In this situation all works fine, but no log files is written on PhoenixMiner folder.
Where log files gone?

[dfish987]

I'm having trouble getting 5.1c to work with rx5600xt mixed with polaris 4xx-5xx is there something I'm doing won't says can't create buffer for the navi card makes no sense to me I know Phoenix miner says it works with 5700 cards but does it not work with 5600xt or is it because my rig is a mix of polaris and Navi?

mixed GPUs is not the issue. make sure you have malloc variables set, have enough virtual ram, and configured the cards properly. overdriventool is recommended

Thanks i got it Too work i added 2GB more ram i only had 4GB before now im running 6GB and it works fine Im using HIVE OS

if its not raiser/connector maybe you can play main pcie slot settings.
but first do ddu several times and also see if you dont have any hidden monitors in device manager and delete if any

also avoid using AB it can cause various issues. (try to remove it too) use OverdrivenTool instead(or just set volts and frequencies in the miner config.

also your driver version is bad use at least 18.6.1 or better 19.12.2 (mind the new fan control!)

...also if you can run 2045 you can probably achieve about 31.5 on your gpus:



the rest are 570 sapphire nitros

This is insightful but no clue what is hidden monitors and 18.3.4 driver version is that bad.

My AB settings :
-----------------------------
Core Voltage (mV): -100
Power Limit : 0
Core Clock: 1150
Memory Clock 2050

Will be same as -cvddc  -100 -powlim 0 -cclock 1150 -mclock 2050 in the command line right? Apparently the miner terminate prematurely.
Been using the above parameters to hit 30.xMhs but will be happy to know other best settings.
