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

[Akyboy]

Hi Guys,

Im i able to use Phoenix to mine only on AMD cards and different miner for NVIDIA cards - this is all one rig btw?

Thanks

[toynn]

Again there was another DAG change and 3 out of 10 miners wen't offline.
Is this a known problem ?

Ubuntu 18.04.4 with AMD 20.20 drivers.

use -lidag to slow down the dag creation process and prevent crashes.

I agree this is a good setting to try. I've used -lidag 3 and it does seem to help with the crashes during dag changes and also helped with crashing at startup I was having on an 11 gpu rig. But I still get crashes on some rigs during the dag change even with the lidag setting.

Hi, after 12 hours the miner starts giving this error -»

Is there a solution?

You are mining eth but you written coin etc, delete coin or write eth.

The problem continues -» Unknown OpenCL driver version! Hashrate and stale shares may suffer   
Every time it happens i have to install the drives again.

Anyone have this error? Any idea how to fix this?
Tried DDU driver and reinstall NVIDIA driver, no luck.

Code:

Is the installed driver showing in your device manager?  I had the "No available GPUs for mining error" recently when trying to install a new RTX 3090. I couldn't get the driver installed after DDU, and trying to install with GeForce experience or with the stand alone driver. The resolution was to update my version of Windows 10 Pro to the latest version, then the driver installed and the "no GPU" error was resolved.

if you dont want dag creation every 2 epoch change. use -eres to create a dag good for a number of epochs ahead.  I use -eres 10 so dag will be processed after 10 epoch change.

[kenron]

there must be a solution on this problem, miner worked fine until win10 update, then i get this error"2021.02.18:19:53:15.405: GPU1 GPU1: clSetKernelArg (-48)
2021.02.18:19:53:15.405: wdog Fatal error detected. Restarting. " i then has to put in -clkernel 0 to get them to work again, but then i cant tune the cards and a few cards gets lower hashrate.

other good minersoftware suggestions?

Hi, new "miner" here.

I'm mining on 1x3060Ti (ZOTAC Twin Edge OC) for few days. Card is stable running at 61,5MH/s at PW 65%, CC -502, MC +1300 using MSI AfterBurner. But twice (once on start, once after 3 days of mining) happened to me that "CUDA error in CudaProgram.cu:465 : unknown error (999)" appeared (enclosed picture), miner restart itself but the clock reset to stock which mean lower hashrate with higher W. Any solution for this?

Thanks

Im starting to get this 465 as well on both of my machines over and over and over. My cards are older 1080Ti and 1070 and Windows 10 and Phoenix Miner 5.4c.

anyone who can help with phoenix issue? miner worked fine until win10 update, then i get this error"2021.02.18:19:53:15.405: GPU1 GPU1: clSetKernelArg (-48)

Can I see the miner launch command?

[kenron]

this is settings for cards ( i got the main things with miningpoll etc.) -epsw x -asm 1 -estale 1 -clKernel 0 -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10 -gser 2 -eres 0 -wd 1 -tstop 73 -tt 63 -fanmin 40 -fanmax 96 -mport 0 -etha 0 -cclock 1200 -mclock 2150 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 880 -r 60

[kenron]

It worked properly and i could also press z for tuning, but now it abit lower hashrate and i cant tune

Greetings to all! I have a problem with PhoenixMiner 5.5c. I have one Sapphire Pulse RX570 8gb dual bios graphics card and mine Etherium on BinancePool. I don't use a custom BIOS, because achieved good results with the standard BIOS (31 MH /s with -rxboost 1 option and 1150-850-2100-850 config). There are no problems with this, everything works in terms of mining. But the problem is this - I configured the miner so that when the miner starts, the overclocking / undervolt / fan speed  is turned on, and when the miner is turned off, all the card settings are reset to default. So, after closing the miner, all settings return to default, but the operation of the fans becomes strange. Fans in applications / games are not automatically adjusted, i.e. the temperature rises, but the speed of the fans does not increase (as I noticed - 850 rpm always). It helps to manually set the RPM in the Adrenaline driver or reinstall the driver using DDU. What can be done to make the fans work through the driver in auto mode after mining correctly?
My config: Ryzen 5 1600af, ram 16gb 3400mhz, Sapphire pulse rx570 8gb dual bios, Msi b450 a pro max, Windows 10x64, Adrenaline 20.9.1 , Phoenix Miner 5.5c (-amd -rxboost -tt 60 -fanmin 22 -tstop 68 and overklocking/undervolt 4 parameters).

[JonnyJalapeno]

Instead of using inbuilt phoenix management of fans, use Radeon Settings and its profiles to set a fan speed for miner. Add miner exe as game profile xD

I haven't tried the -eres setting before (thought that was for 4GB issues but I'm wrong). I'll give it a try. Thank you.

Can I change the difficulty for the graphic card with a command?

I am getting 42-50H with a RTX 3070 or is that normal?

Thanks

I think you should be getting 58ish

Im starting to get this 465 as well on both of my machines over and over and over. My cards are older 1080Ti and 1070 and Windows 10 and Phoenix Miner 5.4c.

I swapped the power cord on my 1080Ti  the 6pin and 8 pin come from two differet rails now, and put a house fan next to it to help with heat. I also lowered the power to 85% and it has been going ok for the past 12 hours. No error 465 yet.


I wish Phoenix would incorporate ETHEnlargment into the miner. The ETHenlargmentpill is necessary for 1080TI to work at proper rate for its cost and power use. But Phoenix does not include it and Enlargmentpill.exe does not run with BAT file or at Windows start and requires UAC turned off or it bugs and stops the miner after every reboot. Its crazy annoying.

eres has nothing to do with 4gb cards. We are currently on epoch 396 and my next dag creation process is on epoch 406 which is scheduled on april 14 of this year, almost 2 months  . This is according to dag calendar from minerstat

Hey guys,

After successfully tweaked a RX 480 8gb to do ~29 mh/s @ 85w, I got hands at a RX 5600 Asrock, with with the following settings:

- cclock= 1400 MHz
- cvddc= 930 mV
- mclock= 1800 MHz
- mvddc= 850 mV

Getting 39.143 MH/s and Effective speed @ ethermine ~ 39.73- 45 mh/s, consuming 103w and 200w @ the wall.

And it's stable for about 49 hours straight.

Does someone has a better config? I was playing around on some clocks and vddc but this are the only ones that I found that were stable enough to make through a +24hrs.

FYI, just waiting for some risers to throw the both AMD's and a Gigabyte 1060 on a rig
