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

[btctradingonline]

After a few hours mining my second GPU stops mining and I see 0.000 MH/s with the statement "wdog GPU2 not responding" and  "wdog Thread(s) not responding. Restarting."
But nothing happens.

I am not sure how to resolve this issue so I am looking for ideas here.
Below are the details of my set up.

RX 580 Saphire Nitro - stock bios

Miner: Phoenix 5.3b

Any idea or assistance is appreciated.
thanks

Hi , i got the same card...

RX 580 Saphire Nitro - try MOD BIOS
Driver: Adrenalin 2020 20.9.1 = ok
Miner: Phoenix 5.3b = ok
cclock: 1170 = 1150
mclock: 2170 = 2100
cvddc: 850 = 875
mvddc: 850 = 875
Fan: 35

That could give you 30MH

Thank you for posting your numbers, this helps me tune the card.

can you give the detail config for 5700xt, tks

Too bad I don't have 5700

On my 5700 XT rigs i don't have any hashrate drop on 5.3b version...

it dropped .1 for sure.

[thatBeardoGuy]

I would really love to see a screen shot of ANYONE that can pump out more than 30 MH/card on (12+ per rig) RX 580 cards and hash stable for more than 24 hrs. No matter what I try it just will not happen. As soon as I push to 30 or higher, the rig will start to crash. I used to tune individual cards and get higher hash rate but that function has been broken since forever ago. So I would really love to see if anyone out there is actually able to achieve this.

Hi, I don’t know if you saw my post earlier? #6451

How are you modding the bios? With OverDriveNTool, afterburner or hard coding with a bios change?

Thanks.

Rig 12+ GPU`s is more like an art, than mining, so it`s hard to find guys like that.

Personally, i`ve got 1x11x580, 1x16GPUs (NV and 1xAMD) and rest like 6-8GPUs per rig witch i like less

EDIT:
Forgot about my 15GPUs[RX 580 × 11,P106-100 × 2,RX 570 × 1,GTX 1070 Ti × 1] Rig :>

SO , I`m using the last version of Phoenix miner (5.3b) and some blockchain drivers (17,4 - I think) for my AMD $X 470 . But I cannot undervolt my cards and they drain a lot of power from the wall . With almost 200w more than claymore used . How can I fix this ? Thanks

It' not possible to undervolt with old blockchain driver!

AB or miner can't do a sh*t to undervolt... and you can't use OverdriveNTool with old driver.

Solution:
1) update windows and use newer driver like 20.11.1
2) use SMOS

DID anyone GET A SOLUTION for this:

ETH: CONNECTING TO ETHASH POOL EU1.ETHERMINE.ORG:4444 (PROTO: ETHPROXY)

ETH: CONNECTED TO ETHASH POOL EU1.ETHERMINE.ORG:4444  (172.65.207.109)

Any idea how to resolve this?

I get it on ethermine / sparkpool / nanopool

without your commandline, your os, what cards, and so on, no one can help you.

Miner doesn't work on nonencrypted port 4444. Use ssl://eu1.ethermine.org:5555

Yes and without your commandline no one can help you.

Just saw your post, I get it that you were using stock bios cards with Claymore and applying straps and rxboost to increase the hashrate. AFAIK Phoenix miner currently does not support "straps" for RX580 (all polaris) cards, so you'll have to bios mod these cards manually (using 1 click bios mods or any other tools) and then try using the overdriventool settings and then you'll get similar hash rates on RX580s.

two rigs stopped working today, sapphire nitro+ 8gb

GPU2: Free VRAM: 7.950 GB; used: 0.050 GB
GPU2: Disabling DAG pre-allocation (not enough VRAM)
GPU2: Allocating DAG for epoch #379 (3.96) GB
GPU2: Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-61).

win7 64bit, blockchain beta drivers
restored original bios, installed 20.4.2., same thing
let us know if you manage to fix it, thanks

how much virtual ram?
test another miner like teamred and if it is run, let us know and we look again.
add -eres 0 for test

change os to win10.

RX480 8GB VRAM 30GB TO 50GB

But with teamred is running!

You have old driver i think. And without information about your system, no one can help. OS and commandline are important to see some mistakes or something else.

anyone?

from the readme.txt file:

-proto <n>
   Selects the kind of stratum protocol for the ethash pool:

   1:
      miner-proxy stratum spec (e.g. coinotron)

   2:
      eth-proxy (e.g. ethermine, nanopool) - this is the default,
      works for most pools

   3:
      qtminer (e.g. ethermine, ethpool)

   4:
      EthereumStratum/1.0.0 (e.g. nicehash)

   5:
      EthereumStratum/2.0.0

so it depends on the pool you are mining to...

[Kyubey]

Around 30% of shares are bad on Windows 7 since yesterday, any workaround? Blockchain (dagfix-zip) drivers.
Windows 10 is fine on same drivers.

When trying to start the .bat file as admin I get this error:

Code:

What gives? The .bat is in the same directory as the exe file, and obviously not in system32, how can I fix this? The very same thing happens with any miner I try to run as admin.

Add this on the beggining of the bat file:

I have problem with miner. I have two rigs with 6xRX570 8gb nitro +, win 10, blokchain driver same bios on every card. Basicaly same two rigs. One is mining stable and around 31.5 mhs per card with -cvddc 900 -mclock 2200 -cclock 1150 . When I apply the voltage on second rig it goes down to 8 mhs after few minutes. If I dont put that it will mine ok but power goes to 1200w. If I mine with stock clock it goes to 25 mhs. Every other driver mines just 10 mhs. I use to mine with claymore and everything was fine and stable for 3 years. Is there a way to reduce voltage or something like that?

Update the driver to 20.11.1.

Thank you for the reply.
OK. I’ll reflash them again to mod BIOS.
Can you remember if I need to run the AMD Patcher tool after?

I’ll report back as soon as it’s done.

, when I do that it only mines 10mhs like I said

Thanks for answering . Tried the 20.11 driver and it mines with 9-10 mh so I switched back to the old driver  which does 29-30 Smiley Any update from Phoenix on this errors ? Thanks in advance

I would really love to see a screen shot of ANYONE that can pump out more than 30 MH/card on (12+ per rig) RX 580 cards and hash stable for more than 24 hrs. No matter what I try it just will not happen. As soon as I push to 30 or higher, the rig will start to crash. I used to tune individual cards and get higher hash rate but that function has been broken since forever ago. So I would really love to see if anyone out there is actually able to achieve this.

Are you kidding? My 570's work with 31.7-31.9 Mh, and 580's with 32.2-32.4 Mh for 3 years without issues. They are on 12 card rigs which used to work with windows, now with smos. Only the last night the 4Gb cards hanged during the epoch change but with a reboot they worked well again.  On my main computer with windows 10, the 580 8Gb card is hashing with 32.220 with claymore straps and -rxboost 1. I raised only the mem clock to 2100. I could raise it to 2170 and I will get another 0.300 Mh, but I prefer not to, so that I can use the computer freely and watch videos with no issues.

So you have been running 24/7 for 3 years without crash? Again, would you mind showing me a screen shot and your bat file?
