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

[nmisiti]

Hello everyone.
I was having an issue with 5.4c for windows where I got a clkernel error 48. I downloaded the new 5.5c and now I am only getting a third of my hashrate that I was getting with 5.4c before the kernel error. I have not changed anything that I had from before.
I have a rx580 8gb card.
Anyone have this issue or know a fix?

5.5c is the most recent version.

Always download the most recent version from page 1 of this thread.

If you do not you are most likely downloading and installing malware!

Hello.
How about the error clsetkernelarg -48?
It happens only in my RX 580 Rig and im forced to use -clkernel 0 to use the miner, BUT im loosing 1mhs per GPU and im not stable (total hashrate running from 88 to 93).
And in final, im having a big difference from what i see on the miner and what pool is reporting, about steel shares.
The pool report much more steel shares that miner don't show.
Im using 5.5c version. The problem is born 2 days ago...

Second question:

How can i configure file batch of a 6 gpus rig for use GPU 1-2-3 to mine on wallet A and 4-5-6 to wallet B?

So many people reporting this.
Whats your virtual memory?
Driver version?
Did windows updated recently?
You can creat 2 bat files add 1 bat file -gpus 1,2,3 second bat file -gpus 4,5,6 you may want add -cdm 0 because you will get warning about monitor port but it doesnt importand it is just warning that port will not be availabe for monitoring.

[Sledge0001]

the miner periodically crashes. I switched to the previous version so far - everything is stable

Been using it with 3090's, 2080TI's and 1060 6GB's without any issues.

Just curious if you are using AMD cards?

update drivers to 20.11.1 or look what phoenix says on last post.20.4.2 was good with 5.1c if im not mistaken.and also make memory 64000-64000.
So people please look here and dont post that error again clsetkernelarg -48.

This post contains the instructions on how to fix the latest 460.79 Nvidia Windows driver. The reason for the problem is that one of the DLLs (nvml.dll) that the driver installs is corrupted. Here is what you have to do in order to fix the problem:

• Download nvml_460.79_win10.zip from here: https://mega.nz/#F!2VskDJrI!lsQsz1CdDe8x5cH3L8QaBw (MEGA)
  
  If you want to check the integrity of the downloaded file, please use the following hashes:

Code:

    File: nvml_460.79_win10.zip
    ---------------------------
   SHA-1: 749ae64e4a5044994bec61d6d94459aa4c4cc719

• Extract the file nvml.dll from the .zip archive you have downloaded in the previous step, and then copy it to the folder C:\Windows\System32. There will be a file with the same name here, so you have to overwrite it (you will be prompted by Windows are you sure, blah, blah, blah)

Note that this .dll is the original .dll from Nvidia (it is still digitally signed by them). If you are really paranoid, you can download 460.79 drivers from Nvidia, then use 7zip to open the .exe and extract the dll (you will find it at 460.79-desktop-win10-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe\Display.Driver\nvml.dll), and then copy it to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Hello.  I'm currently using Phoenix Miner 5.5c and getting this error message with my NVDIA GPUs. I have already copied the nvml.dll to c:\Windows\System32\ and still getting the same error.  Any suggestions?

I'd go to the Nvidia website, grab the latest driver and do a clean install of the driver.

Hello,
here is a weird question, is it possible to set the GPU-s to farm on different pools/address-es in a SINGLE .bat file?
For example, mine 3 GPU-s on Address A and other 3 on Address B, but in a single .bat file. How would it look like if yes?
Because for weird reasons sometimes the second .bat file does not run on windows Start, so it's too much of a random chance, so i would like to have it in a single .bat if possible.

Greetings

I would like to know what is the best configuration for an AMD 5500XT, in term of Ubuntu version and driver.
I did try the last LTS and the last driver (amd-gpu-pro) but Phoenix is not detecting my card for an unknown reason (but it detect the version of OpenCL) also which openCL flag should we use ? Legacy or ROCm ?

Hi Guys i am Happily using Phönix Miner.
I read a lot about the newest Amd Drivers are not recomendet so which Version is the best to Use?

I am using a Msi 5700 with Bios Mods ( 55-58mhs)and a Vega 64 (50MHS)
When i use high Clockrates on Memory (on the 5700) i get Driver Chrashes (driver resets)(1850-1900 Memory) and i am hoping to get it running a little more stable with other Adrenalin Version.

The Vega 64 is running on 1100 Hbm and some Amd Memory Tweaker settings and doing 50Mhs guess there is not much margin to improve there.
Tnx for your help appreciate it.
