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

[flatounet]

New beta version with added hardware control features: PhoenixMiner 2.7b. It can be downloaded from here:
  https://mega.nz/#F!HI9lnDAS!gIFL-f82FK1MK16amCv_iQ

  Here are the checksums to verify the download:

Code:

    File: PhoenixMiner_2.7b.zip
   SHA-1: e7eae3645429cb06178aa69728235e842c2548a8
 SHA-256: b872fed471b72911e6980d08496c3da03867dd82e3175241a9d67b2686921c9f

   Note that this is not an official release and the solo mining features are not included in it (they will be included in the final 2.7 release). The changes are:

• Added support for controlling fans, clocks and voltages on AMD cards (use the command-line options -tt, -fanmin, -fanmax, -tmax, -powlim, -cclock, -cvddc, -mclock, -mvddc)
• Improved GPU matching code to fix a problem with mismatched temperatures/fan speeds on Nvidia GPUs

  Here are some important notes about the hardware control options:

• If you specify a single value (e.g. -cvddc 1150), it will be used on all cards. Specify different values for each card like this (separate with comma): -cvddc 1100,1100,1150,1120,1090 If the specified values are less than the number of GPUs, the rest of GPUs will use the default values.
• We have tested only on relatively recent AMD GPUs (RX460/470/480/560/570/580 and Vega). Your results may vary with older GPUs.
• The blockchain beta drivers from AMD show quite unstable results - often the voltages don't stick at all or revert back to the default after some time. For best results use the newest drivers from AMD: 18.1.1 or 18.2.1, where most of the bugs are fixed.
• -tmax specifies the temperature at which the GPU should start to throttle (because the fans can't keep up).
• If you use other programs for hardware control, conflicts are possible and quite likely. Use something like GPU-Z to monitor the voltages, etc. MSI Afterburner also seems to behave OK (so you can use it to control the Nvidia cards while AMD cards are controller by PhoenixMiner).
• This should be obvious but still: if given clocks/voltages are causing crahses/freezes/incorrect shares when set with third-party program, they will be just as much unstable when set via PhoenixMiner hardware control options.

big thank's for update ,

just in time for leave home 
thank's you

i got this error one time , it's about OC for me ....
reset OC ,and re-test or check/change  riser after .....

There was no overclock applied. It was completely stock.

But I don’t know what it was but after updating to the most recent version of Windows 10, the problem seems to have gone away.

Old version: 1511
New version: 1709

Works fine now.

Same as you i have 2 righs completly the same 1070 Dual OCs , they are basicaly mirrors.
1 works fine the other has the error you had, i have the latest windows 10 1709 and i am still getting that error after 10/12 hours of running.
Drives me crazy.

turn off all the nvidia audiodevices in devicemanager. for me it helped to solve some weird (driver i think) related stuff.

Thanks , i`ve just disabled all the audio related devices. and under clocked 1 gpu to the lowest possible and seems stable for 2/3 hours now.
I think i might have a bad riser that stops relaying info to the miner or something.

Does tmax behave like ttli in claymore?

[Aurren]

Been running 2.6 for a while but now a 1060 6gb card of mine is consistently giving me "incorrect eth share."  I switch to 2.7a, didn't help.  I've turned the card back to stock, 100% power +0 core +0 mem, still incorrect shares, I've swapped the card to a different PCI slot, no change.  I tried claymore and the card will mine fine and not get incorrect shares. 

you have too much overclock...

Like I said, I turned it back to stock (NO OC) and it still gives the same errors.

[gsrcrxsi314]

running 2.7b and using the -tt 65 flag.

working excellent, and now the power draw has dropped 30W.

228MH/s with 1090W at the wall. before -tt fan control on 2.6 it was pulling 1120W from the wall.

back to the same power draw as claymore, and kept the higher hashrate. i'm not sure what it is about the lack of fan control causing high power draw, maybe the VRMs not getting enough airflow and becoming very inefficient.

either way, i like it! good job team.

I have tried your miner in my 2 GPU rig, miner starts and after 20-25 seconds later simply exits without giving any warning or error

here is the log :

any help?

I'm having the exact same issue with 2.6 and 2.7b on one of my rigs (4x RX470, 2x RX580) running the blockchain beta drivers from AMD.
However, on my two other rigs, 2.6 and 2.7b both run fine, both those are all RX560s with AMD 18.1.1 drivers.
Are you also running the blockchain beta drivers? If so, it might be driver related.

New beta version with added hardware control features: PhoenixMiner 2.7b.

Many many thanks for this version! It was exactly what I needed!! Works like a charm on my two RX560 rigs using AMD 18.1.1 drivers with the following settings:
-cclock 1100 -mclock 2100 -cvddc 850 -tt 75

[metz]

Could I have some basic help please...

The line below gives me semaphore timeout errors:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool europe.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20585 -wal username.worker -pass x -proto 1

What can I do to fix the errors

with 2.6 i make 169mh/s, now with 2.7b 171mh/s.
i have a better hashrate with fury x, same for rx470.

[cdrx]

How to set target temperature 55 degree celsius for ex ?

it is -tt 55 ?

-tt <n> Set fan control target temperature (special values: 0 - no HW monitoring on ALL cards,
     1-4 - only monitoring on all cards with 30-120 seconds interval, negative - fixed fan speed at n %)

amd rx 580. small bug. at first shows 0% for some cards, then shows correct. https://imgur.com/a/zvUG6



using -tmax 80 -tt 55 -fanmin 55 -fanmax 85 -cclock 1150 -mvddc 900 -mclock 2100 -cvddc 900

all looks fine and stable. no need of afterburner and overdriventool. latest AMD driver 18.2.3.

with 2.6 i make 169mh/s, now with 2.7b 171mh/s.
i have a better hashrate with fury x, same for rx470.

How much power and what hashing speed for your Fury X please ?

[gsrcrxsi314]

a word on the -cclock -mclock ? you tried it?

havent tried, i put my clock speeds and voltages in the BIOS.

Did you see speed improvement?

Claymore to Phoenix, YES
Phoenix 2.6 to 2.7b, NO

[heavyarms1912]

does the 2.7b version support individual card -tstop feature and then starts mining with same card once the temps are back within desired range?

[cdrx]

does the 2.7b version support individual card -tstop feature and then starts mining with same card once the temps are back within desired range?

No, check Readme.txt.

[biospb]

Please make Linux version. and do not forget to make support for at least 13 gpus.
Thanks in advance!

[xS-RaGnaR]

hellow,the pheonix miner is great,my rigs are more stable .
But i have a problem whit undervolt,im using afterburner.
when i start the rig,miner goes first,1500 w on the wall,7 x 570 8 g sapphire nitro plus,then afterburner goes after, 20-30 secs, then the memory clock is reseted in miner console whit exact same numbers ( im using config,disable afterburner for memory and others,im using it only for undervolt).After all of that,power goes to normal,1050 w.
But if i restart the miner,the power goes back to 1500. why? how can i fix that?
