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

[sirmathew]

Does anyone have the Powercolor Red Devil 5700XT using Phoenix 5.5c?
What drivers to use, and what config in Afterburner are the best?

From the last two weeks i got a lot errors in AMD drivers, and the miner closes.

Im with 1880 Memory clock, 1350 core clock and 750w.
I've test with 1860, 1375 and 800w and happens the same.
With drivers 20.12.1, but i test 20.9.1 also and the same problem.

What shoud i do better to resolve this problem?

Lower Memory clock to 1800, from what i know that is the most stable mclock setting with the 5700xt's and then slowly go higher till you see problems.

Got a good deal on a 1080 Ti Founders Edition. When mining I sometimes can't get the DAG to go past 54% for some reason.  

Sometimes restarting the miner works but often I would have to restart the computer just to get the miner to build the DAG and finally get mining.


These are the flags I use:

-nvKernel 3 -nvdo 1 -straps 2 -cclock +320 -mclock -50 -powlim -25 -fanmin 65 -tt 68 -hstats 2 -lidag 1



Is there anything I'm missing here?

EDIT: figured it out, -cclock shouldn't go past 290

I think it will be better if you add some memory clock and less core clock for eth. and use -nvmem 2 -straps 2
What speed you getting now?

I ended up with:

-nvKernel 3 -nvdo 1 -straps 2 -cclock +275 -mclock +50 -powlim -26 -fanmin 65 -tt 68 -hstats 2

And got me an average of 44.5 MHs at 185 watts.  Temps at a constant 67C with the single fan going 65% to 70% depending on ambient temps.  I'll try -nvmem 2 on the next pay cycle (or perhaps when the beta of the new PM version is released).

Hello!

One of my rigs has a problem with 2-3 of 5 geforce gtx1060 cards.
Everytime I start the miner I get the error: "unable to get temperature"

I already made newest version of drivers and phoenixminer.

How can I solve this problem ?

Thanks for help

downgrade your driver. Better look what phoenix recommends. It means 5.5c not supporting that driver.

Also

got a new strange problem and have no idea how to fix it. phoenix 5.5c amd 20.5.1 windows 10 fall creator update. 7x ref vega 56/64 all with morpheus coolers (so no temp problem). the system was mining for a month stable but now every 1-2 days gpu1 sais 4556765645 mh/s and crashes the miner. drivers do not reset, i just need to wait till windows closes the miner so i can restart it. any ideas?

I have a powercolor 5700XT and a Sapphire 5700xt - the Powercolor crashed every 6 or seven hours with an AMD error popup.  I ran the registry update file included with teamredminer and haven't had any problems since.  I'm running all my AMDs on teamredminer for the next month or so as a thank you.

I've looked online first and didn't find an answer, I've put the following in, it mines but nothing is coming up on Ethermine as that anything is mining, I'm honestly at a lost if anyone can help me.

#-pool us1.ethermine.org -itismine.workername us1.ethermine.org:4444
#-wal "my personal wallet code would go here"
#-proto 3
#-cdm 2

When I put in that wallet on Ethermine it keeps showing inactive.

You need to remove the '#' sign from the beginning of each line. That comments out the line so that it is not read.

Anyone know if it's possible for PhoenixMiner to remember the 'Maximum difficulty of found share' value between sessions?

I was quite proud of my 98.0 TH (!!!) but after rebooting for a Windows update it has forgotten the max value.

LET'S GO, WAITING FOR TOMORROW FOR THE NEW VERSION OF PHOENIXMINER

Phoenixminer *.*

[Targonis]

A beta version was supposed to come out this week, meaning the full release of the next version may not come out for another 3-4 weeks.   Beta is NOT a full release and may not even be an open beta for EVERYONE to get access to(the nature of beta itself isn't always an open one).

 

LET'S GO, WAITING FOR TOMORROW FOR THE NEW VERSION OF PHOENIXMINER

Phoenixminer *.*

Someone told me it might be delayed for 3 or 4 weeks,
Not sure if that is totally correct however.

Can someone tell me what is the current recommended driver for AMD RX480 8GB cards to be used with PhoenixMiner?

Hi, Im still new to mining and trying to figure stuff out as I go.
Anyway I have 3 issues atm

1. Recently one machine just closes randomly, its ran for over 100hrs no problems but now it seems to lose stratum randomly.
Machine has 3070 and 1070 in it atm. I just changed to the SSL port on pool, no clue if this will help.
Is there any way to solve this? Which leads to issue 2 below trying to make a restart for miner.

2. I am trying to OC a 3070 and 1070 by command line in a .bat so I can use -mcdag 1 for Phoenixminer, How do I go about writing it for each GPU?
-mcdag 1
-GPU1 -powlim 50 -cclock -456 -mclock +1407
-GPU2 -powlim 60 -cclock +203 -mclock +263
Would this work? Not sure if I should just try it. Eidt: Oh I just realised Im not sure how to set the fans either

3. Finally last issue is 6800xt im using newer drivers 21.3.2 and have to use -clkernel 0
I get message "Unknown OpenCL driver version! OpenCL platform: OpenCL 2.1 AMD-APP"
Phoenixminer tells me I get 20%ish stale shares but still get 60-70mh/s over time,
when I check my pool website it says normally 3% max is 5%.
Is this actually an issue also considering Im in Australia and pool is in Asia. Get 160ms share returns.
If i did downgrade to say 21.1.1 would this even make any difference?

Thank you to anyone who can help me with any of this.

I have a Vega 56 card in my Ampere rig.
It's a good card, with the rig timings I can get 48 MH/s using Team Red Miner.
But I can't get past 43 MH/s using Phoenix Miner.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I tried some settings, but there isn't much I can really do, to my knowledge.
I'm trying to switch my rig to Phoenix Miner (I'm using Trex + TRM right now), but I' don't get why I'm loosing so much on Vega.
Any advice?
Thanks for your help.

The stales are absolutely from the opencl kernel.  Downgrading the driver is the right move and will allow you to use the optimized opencl kernels.

If you game on that rig and want the newest drivers, teamredminer does work well on the newest drivers, while we wait for the phoenixminer update.

One might be better than the other, or one might be reporting hashrate higher.

Make sure one miner isn't giving a large number of stales or incorrect shares, then run each one for at least 24 hours (the same duration on each obviously) and see what your actual share counts come to.  That's the only way to see if there is any real difference.

[Targonis]

21.3.x versions are not compatible with Phoenixminer without command line fixes.   21.2.3 is what I am using.   The next version of PhoenixMiner(5.6 or whatever it gets called) will address that, as well as other problems.   Beta was supposed to come out this past week for it.

Try backing off on your overclocks by 100MHz and see if that helps the NVIDIA cards.

Hello,

I have recently started mining, almost a month now. I am wondering if anyone can help me with my sales percentages? I am currently running a rx 5700 xt, core clock from 1400-1500 (I saw recommendations to set this to 1300 but I would get a lot of crashes after a couple of hours mining), memory clock at 1800, power limit -37% (on afterburner), and fan speed at 75%. I am getting good temps with the adjustment to the power limit and clock speeds. I am averaging around 50-51 Mh/s.  But I am getting a stales percentage of around 15%? This seems pretty high and I am wondering if there is a fix for it. I have switched between us1 and us2 pools and seen no real difference. I'm not able to see my pings from either pool as well. I haven't changed any settings in the phoenix miner only hardware settings. What do you recommend to lower my stales percentage? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

hello guys,

can someone help me what are the perfect settings for gtx1080? i have one in pc and want to mine a bit (i have adm rigs, so dont know about nvidia setttings much )

5700 are able to go up to 55-57(0 stale or bad shares). I'm running 1300-1350 core 1820-1850 mem, 780-810mv. using MorePowerTool SPPTs and modded bioses
