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

[dorek_k]

Hi all!
I have a truble with my 980 ti 6 gb, fresh drivers
I run phoenix miner 5.5c , but it gives such an error and restarts
"CUDA error in Cudaprogram.CU:465 ; unknown error (999)
GPU 1 search error: unknown error
Fatal error detected. Restarting.
https://gyazo.com/4cf6db6a91d2aaf02e101c37a2360391
tell me how to run the miner. Thanks!

Can I control memory clock and core clocks from the bat files...? I m using rx580 armor oc edition..

Yes, here is what I use on my RX570 8gb MSI Armor cards using Phoenix Miner
-cclock 1170 -mclock 2170 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 850

Newbie question.

I am using Phoenix Miner and ethermine dot org, with GTX 1660 Super and MSI Afterburn.

After I overclock on MSI Afterburn and clicked 'apply'. Do I have to quit the miner, change the content in .bat file and then reopen the miner program again for it to take effect?

Or does it just mine at Overclocked setting instantly after applying the changes in MSI Afterburner?

The reason I am asking is that my MH/s is still the same as before

Changes on afterburner should take effect immediately after you hit the check button!

But if the hashrate (MH/s) is still the same after applying the changes on MSI Afterburner.

What could be the problem?

hello guys,

yesterday I went with the latest nVidia drivers, updated to 5.5c and changed the 6pin to SATA cables on my riser boards directly to power them by the 6pin cables from the PSU.
Before, when I was running with the SATA adapters and not the latest drivers, 5.4c miner I had a stable rig, runnin each RTX 3080 at 94.5mhs with 70PW and +700Mhs.

Now , one of the cards is hashing lower than expected - with -0.5mh, when the GPU is not connected via HDMI cable and with -1.5mhs when its streaming.
If I start playing and tweaking , a 2nd card starts losing MHs and starts crashing...

I looked that the miner and it seems that some of the cards are getting 8-10 degrees hotter than the others, and one card is running always @ 100% fan speed... If i try to lower the fan speed in MSI, the card throttles within minutes.

And all this was stable AF 2 days ago, while i was running the cards with the SATA Connectors...
May the problem be caused by the drivers or does it look like a hardware problem?

Thanks for your help!

Thermal pads degrading probably and you need to replace them with better...

thought so too, just ordered Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8, 100 x 100 x 2.0 mm, hope these would make the cards more stable!...

Hey there, what commands should I use for a GTX 1060 6GB in order to connect to Binance Pool? They used to have on their site details about claymore miner but now they removed those instructions.

How to change settings when miner is already running? i need to change gpow

Anyone?

It usually takes a full minute or two for the hashrate to be updated on the pool side and then reflected in your local miner numbers.

If you aren't seeing an increase in hashrate you maybe underclocking or overclocking the card too much. It's also possible that you have a bad riser or the PSU isn't supplying enough juice to run the system properly.

Anyone?

In start_miner.bat, specify the configuration file (-config config.txt). Start the miner and, if necessary, make changes to the config.txt (for example, -gwop 50), save the value and press c in the working miner. The miner will update the parameters.

Me again.
I installed an RX580 armor 8GO in addition to my RX480 nitro + and my 2 RX480 blowers. My problem is that the 580 makes me crash radeon software which reinitializes the parameters and phoenix leaves again with the card at 0 from hsarate while the others are running.
I reinstalled clean drivers but the same.
I tested with the 580 but the same after a while it crashes.
I left them parameters -mt 1 and -rxboost 1, I removed them but same problem.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you

hey man, try lowering the memory oc and see if it would stabilize

Looking for tips on fan control.  I am trying to set fan speeds and not sure I can do what I want.  I know -tt 60 will set temperature target at 60 deg and -tt -70 will set fan speed to 70%.  How do I implement more than one set of target temps?  I am trying to set these values and fan speeds - 50deg at 60% - 63deg at 70% - 76deg at 80%

I am thinking I need this in my config

-tt 50 -tt -60
-tt 63 -tt -70
-tt 76 -tt -80

Is this correct or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any input

Things I personally would love to see in upcoming releases of Phoenix miner.

1. Number of stales and rejected shares listed per GPU. I see them in the summary that goes by but having it broken down by GPU would help identify an overly aggressive overclock or card malfunction.

2. Set the color of the temperature ranges so we can easily see if our cards are going beyond a specific temp range. The purple color is often difficult to see for a blind bat like myself. Seeing Green, Yellow and Red based on temp would be extremely helpful.

3. In the summary show the total Dev Fee time and shares for Dev Team. (I think this would help people understand the actual time that the miner is working for the Dev Team)

4. STRAP option for polaris cards
5.keep mining if any card crashes just showing 0mhs for crashed card. (now whole rig crashes and difficult understand which card caused crash)

-mt is pretty much the same as straps for polaris cards. -mt 1 for samsung cards with -rxboost 30...  gives 31+mhs with right overclock

it is not same, on claymore i was getting 33mhs, here i can get 31mhs, each 10 cards im loosing 20mhs. mt is same comes with amd drivers=faster timings it is not straps which claymore gave to us 2 years ago
there is hynix memory 570 which doing 27mhs. but 470 with micron doing 30mhs.

Thanks for the info I was under the impression it was the same.  Would love to know the technicals of what the difference is.

Thanks in advance for any input

This is incorrect. -tt 60 sets the target temp to 60 degrees. So it sets the fan speeds at a variable setpoint to keep the card at 60 degrees. With some cards it needs a fan speed of 40% when other cards are set at 75% fan speed. So you can only set 1 target temp for each card.

Thanks I will continue to run fan controls in OverdriveNTool then I suppose.
