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

[deedeeranged]

Hi just noticed you have to use genic clkernel for rx 6700xt any plans on getting them to optimized kernel also?

I have a RX 6600XT and use -clKernel 1 which is the default optimized kernel, PhoenixMiner v.6.1b.

hi folks,
I have a 6800xt on Windows:


 I tried to setup constant fan speed with

Code:

-tt -50

but did not work as fan speed lowers & stayed at 30% ! I then tried target temperature

Code:

-tt 49

which seems to works, even tho I would have prefered a constant fan speed. Anyone of you know how I can manage to make it work ?

 I have setup

Code:

-cvddc 1100, -cclock 1500 and -mclock 2150

but I can't find how to setup Fast Timing in Phoenix Miner, I have to
go to Adrenaline to activate it. is it possible to do it in Phoenix Miner and if yes what is the command ?

is it possible to reduce the text in the cli ? no verbose or no new block info kind of cmd ?

This is what I use to control fans on all of my cards:

Code:

 -tt 60
 -ttj 68
 -ttmem 73
 -fanmin 50
 -tstop 86
 -tstart 68
 -fanstop 0

For Nvidia cards, the fan minimum works exactly, but all AMD cards are running with 2-3 % less.

For fast timing use -mt 1.

You can find all command lane options and more information on how they work in the Readme.txt.

Was running Ubuntu 20.04.4 and PhoenixMiner does support amdgpu-pro-21.30-1290604-ubuntu-20.04 and should work. Have you tried installing it like amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy,rocr --headless ?
As that should support the RX 580 as well as the RX 6600 (XT).
Make sure you uninstall the drivers first before installing again.

Hi, thanks for info. I tried installing 21.30 using amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=legacy,rocr --headless.

I read this on Phoenixminer 6.0c:

AMD Linux drivers 21.40.1 has finally removed the requirement of PCIe atomics but there are problems when you try to mix Polaris (RX4x0/5x0) cards and Vega or newer cards on the same rig.

So I started to doubt I will ever be able to mix rx580 and rx6600.

But if you confirm you managed, then I will try again, maybe with fresh ubuntu install.
Thanks

Running Debian bookworm/testing installed amdgpu-install_21.50.2.50002-1_all.deb enable repository in /etc/apt/sources.d/amdgpu-proprietary.list and used the following command in the terminal:
amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl --opencl=rocr,legacy after installing it might barf about amdgpu-dkms but you can ignore that

Both my RX 6600 XT and the RX 580 are supported as you can check with clinfo.

GPU1: XFX Radeon RX 580 Series (pcie 4), OpenCL 2.0, 8 GB VRAM, 36 CUs
GPU2: ASRock AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (pcie 45), OpenCL 2.0, 8 GB VRAM, 32 CUs
GPU1: 66C 20% 99W, GPU2: 50C 28% 64W
GPU1: cclock 1130 MHz, cvddc 950 mV, mclock 2250 MHz, 277 kH/J
GPU2: cclock 900 MHz, cvddc 743 mV, mclock 1169 MHz, Tj 54C, Tmem 74C, 524 kH/J

Eth speed: 60.972 MH/s, shares: 1875/1/0, time: 37:32
GPUs: 1: 27.424 MH/s (824) 2: 33.548 MH/s (1052)

GPU1 sits in PCIe 16x slot 2 (RX 580)
GPU2 sits in PCIe 16x slot 1 (RX 6600 XT)

The RX 6600 XT I have tuned for best performance for this card.
Still tuning the RX 580 as it can do over 30 MH/s but it might also be the driver version not being optimal for this card.
Had better results when using driver amdgpu-pro-21.30-1290604-ubuntu-20.04.tar.xz with the RX 580

Total power at the wall around 280W

Mining is more like a hobby for me as I mine with the RX 6600XT when I am not gaming.

Hope this helps.

Hi just noticed you have to use genic clkernel for rx 6700xt any plans on getting them to optimized kernel also?

Which OS do you use?

-clkernel 1 with the last few versions of PM works for all AMD RX 6X00 series in Windows and most Linux distributions, but it does not work in Hive OS because of the driver version they provide.

This is what I use to control fans on all of my cards:

 -tt 60
 -ttj 68
 -ttmem 73
 -fanmin 50
 -tstop 86
 -tstart 68

For Nvidia cards, the fan minimum works exactly, but all AMD cards are running with 2-3 % less.

For fast timing use -mt 1.

thank you mate,-mt 1 is exactly what I was looking for fast timing, and it works great.

otherwise I still don't know why but I can't set a desired constant fan speed. what ever I set up, the fan ends up going at 30% rpm only ! Only think that worked is doing what you do: setup a target temperature.
I tried to change it from -tt 49 to -tt51 but oddly enough it seems I can't change the value too here. I tried other than 49°C it always stick to 49° when mining.

About constant speed I also tried -fcm command:

Code:

-fcm <n>
   Set fan control mode (0 - auto, 1 - use VBIOS fan control, 2 -
   forced fan control; default: 0)

-cfm 2

but didn't work, the fan speed still running at 30%.
Anyway, at least target temp seems to work, so it will do the job for now until I find out what is going on and a better solution.
thank you again for your help. If anyone have an insight about why I can't setup a constant fan in Phoenix, would be great.

[FomoMiner]

now +33h PM working great ~64.4mh/s / ~48°C 51%rpm / 116W (MPT) and the fan issue resolved by asking PM to not manage the fan speed with -tt 0 (I also later added -cfm 1 but yet not tested). this means the fan speed is managed by Adrenaline which doesn't bother me. The only scenario that is questionnable is if windows crash and restarts. This is why I saved a profile in MSI After Burner and checked the option to maintain the OC when Windows restarts.
So problem solved. happy to come back to Phoenix.

The new features in this release are:

• Using the newer AMD RX470/480/570/580 kernels even on older drivers (Windows driver 19.2.1, or newer; and Linux driver 19.10, or newer). If you want to revert to the older kernels on these drivers, use the new command line parameter -clabi 1
• Added a workaround for the SSL pools with self-signed or expired SSL certificate: you can use the new command-line parameter -weakssl (for the pool specified by -pool), or -weakssl2 (for the pool specified by -pool2), or the new WEAKSSL: 1 option for the pools in epools.txt.
  Note that this option must be specified independently for each pool: if you use -weakssl on the command line (or in config.txt), it won't affect the pools specified in epools.txt. Instead you need to add WEAKSSL: 1 for each desired pool in epools.txt
• Fixed a crash with Nvidia cards on some older drivers (e.g. 460.79, and 460.89). If PhoenixMiner crashes or exits while showing Initializing NVML... try the new command line parameter -nvmalt
• Validated support for AMD Windows drivers 22.4.2
• Other small fixes

For more robust integrity check, you can use our GPG public key, which was verifyed with ETH transaction from our main devfee account as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56755869#msg56755869. Here are the signatures for the files in this release:

Hey there, just to let you know,

I am trying this update hoping to solve a minor issue about fan speed on a 6800xt I am experiencing.
Indeed constant fan speed had not been applied by PM, instead the fan speed was somehow capped at ~30%rpm. I got around the issue by asking PM to not mess with fan speed (-tt 0), I just had to open Adrenaline once PM itself started to mine, and apply a profile/set the fan curve as I wanted. Since then the fan speed follow the curve in Adrenaline. which is fine for me.

So I am running 6.2c and it runs fine.
 for my fan situation, I still have to use Adrenaline curve. Although there was a little change in the sens that instead of going to 30%rpm when I setup fixed fan speed (-tt 52), PM made it run at ~62% oddly enough, but it was constant speed and better than 30%
 Even tho when the miner started, it recognized my 52% setup as it is stated in the text when mining starts.

https://i.imgur.com/YaRzRA0.jpeg

adding to -tt -52, I also tried to add -fcm 2 but did not help. I wonder if -tt 42 would have resulted in 52%cfm, maybe will try it later on. For now I'm ok with my 'hybrid' solution.

Hi.
I've phoenix miner running under hiveOS. The question is: why does his monitoring console have no color? Is there any command line parameters for this or it's by design?

[PhoenixMiner]

The official release version was updated to 6.2c. You can download PhoenixMiner 6.2c from the first post of this thread.

Note that this is the same as release candidate that was posted here a few days ago.

NOTE: You must upgrade to PhoenixMiner 6.1b or later if you get "certificate verify failed" errors on SSL connections (especially to eu1.ethermine.org).
