--temp-cutoff shutdown Windows or off GPU?

--temp-cutoff <arg> Temperature where a device will be automatically disabled, one value or comma separated list (default: 95)

2 minutes ago i got attacked, when i opened cgminer 3.1.1

virus name spr\bitcoin.g in cgminer 3.1.0, avira blocked it, but is this program really safe?

[crazyearner]

I have a problem mining on latest 3.1.1 client crashes every time trying to load miner configs and .bat configs and can not mine and have had to goto 3.0.0

Usual story, likely you've changed drivers or sdk in the interim and the only reason the old one works is it already has generated .bin files from the old sdk installation.

Nothing has changed I am using skd 2.6 and cat 12.8 I am using windows 7 x64 and multi GPUS and auto update is disabled on driver to prevent pop up or update

Make sure you copy all the dll's from the new binary (in case any changed/missing)
Otherwise - try: cgminer -n
and of course: cgminer -D -T --verbose (if it doesn't actually fail to execute)

I have a problem mining on latest 3.1.1 client crashes every time trying to load miner configs and .bat configs and can not mine and have had to goto 3.0.0

Usual story, likely you've changed drivers or sdk in the interim and the only reason the old one works is it already has generated .bin files from the old sdk installation.

Nothing has changed I am using skd 2.6 and cat 12.8 I am using windows 7 x64 and multi GPUS and auto update is disabled on driver to prevent pop up or update

Make sure you copy all the dll's from the new binary (in case any changed/missing)
Otherwise - try: cgminer -n
and of course: cgminer -D -T --verbose (if it doesn't actually fail to execute)

I have no idea of what is going on with it. I will uninstall and wipe system drivers and remove the files left behind in sys32 area and start fresh but They should not be their

I just thought I'd jump in in this middle of this thread and say "thank you!" for the CGMiner software.  It's clear you work hard on the software and are active in supporting it.

I was a long-time hold out from phoenix/phatk - since most of my cards are older...  I started running the software because I was tired of maintaining a stratum proxy.  Although I still run the proxy, I now have a direct backup to the stratum server.

One thing I noticed with my 5xxx and 6xxx cards, was that using phatk... I had to change my worksize and vectors to get nearly the same reported hash rate as my phoenix miners. 

Vectors went from 1 to 2 and worksize went from 128 to 256 with CGMiner.  Something I would have never thought to try... same kernel at least (phatk). 

Maybe this helps someone?

We should NOT use 2.8?

hi all !

help ! again ...

ok I got this icarus compatible FPGA and as instructed on the cgminer fpga I got zadig and now my board is recognised as four different FT232R. but as soon as I try the no gpu version of the cgminer it says that no devices were found... I tried the FTDI thing and nothing ... then I tried the Prolific driver installer v1.8.0 and still cgminer doesn't pic em up...

the normal cgminer only sees my GPUs ... am running Windows 7

any word of advice ?

[boozer]

I have anomaly.  I set up a 7 x 7950 rig on debian. If i set GPU0 intensity 18 or higher, the other 6 cards activity % goes down into the mid 90's and each card loses 10-20kh/s...  intensity 19, and 20 are progressively worse.  CPU jumps (particularly Xorg) with these higher intensities on GPU0.  I can set the other 6 GPUs to 20 intensity with no impact on CPU and they all hash along wonderfully.  I am curious if anyone knows why only intensity on GPU0 appears to impact the CPU and if there is anything to be done about.  Not much performance loss overall, I was just curious.

Firstly Icarus is not direct USB (yet) - it's the one driver not yet converted ... however since I've got an asicminer USB the other day and a Lancelot coming shortly I will be converting it very soon.

So as per the FPGA-README you still need to use -S

Oh sorry it's in the main README

--scan-serial|-S <arg> Serial port to probe for Icarus mining device

This option is only for Icarus bitstream FPGAs

By default, cgminer will scan for autodetected Icarus unless at least one
-S is specified for that driver. If you specify -S and still want cgminer
to scan, you must also use "-S auto". If you want to prevent cgminer from
scanning without specifying a device, you can use "-S noauto". Note that
presently, autodetection only works on Linux, and might only detect one
device depending on the version of udev being used.

On linux <arg> is usually of the format /dev/ttyUSBn
On windows <arg> is usually of the format \\.\COMn
(where n = the correct device number for the Icarus device)

The official supplied binaries are compiled with support for all FPGAs.
To force the code to only attempt detection with a specific driver,
prepend the argument with the driver name followed by a colon.
For example, "icarus:/dev/ttyUSB0" or using the short name: "ica:/dev/ttyUSB0"
This option not longer matters since Icarus is the only serial-USB
device that uses it

For other FPGA details see the FPGA-README

2 minutes ago i got attacked, when i opened cgminer 3.1.1

virus name spr\bitcoin.g in cgminer 3.1.0, avira blocked it, but is this program really safe?

No your AntiVirus software isn't safe.
It has detected a program that is not malign, but probably wouldn't detect a program that would install something on your system.

P.S. Read the README ... FAQ ... computers do this well (if you have a computer): search for "virus"

hi all !

help ! again ...

ok I got this icarus compatible FPGA and as instructed on the cgminer fpga I got zadig and now my board is recognised as four different FT232R. but as soon as I try the no gpu version of the cgminer it says that no devices were found... I tried the FTDI thing and nothing ... then I tried the Prolific driver installer v1.8.0 and still cgminer doesn't pic em up...

the normal cgminer only sees my GPUs ... am running Windows 7

any word of advice ?

Firstly Icarus is not direct USB (yet) - it's the one driver not yet converted ... however since I've got an asicminer USB the other day and a Lancelot coming shortly I will be converting it very soon.

So as per the FPGA-README you still need to use -S

I seem to be a modest user since I cannot understand what a -S means any chance of brightening up my day ?

Oh sorry it's in the main README

--scan-serial|-S <arg> Serial port to probe for Icarus mining device

This option is only for Icarus bitstream FPGAs

By default, cgminer will scan for autodetected Icarus unless at least one
-S is specified for that driver. If you specify -S and still want cgminer
to scan, you must also use "-S auto". If you want to prevent cgminer from
scanning without specifying a device, you can use "-S noauto". Note that
presently, autodetection only works on Linux, and might only detect one
device depending on the version of udev being used.

On linux <arg> is usually of the format /dev/ttyUSBn
On windows <arg> is usually of the format \\.\COMn
(where n = the correct device number for the Icarus device)

The official supplied binaries are compiled with support for all FPGAs.
To force the code to only attempt detection with a specific driver,
prepend the argument with the driver name followed by a colon.
For example, "icarus:/dev/ttyUSB0" or using the short name: "ica:/dev/ttyUSB0"
This option not longer matters since Icarus is the only serial-USB
device that uses it

For other FPGA details see the FPGA-README

much appreciate your feedback thanks ... however am too much of a noob, or so it seems ... when I make a .bat file with -s it simply won't start the cgminer ... well it does but closes very quickly.

I installed also linux mint but managed to get stuck with compilng the cgminer so as to work on it ... never had linux till now mint works on debian...
steep learning curve ... care for a nudge ?

much appreciate your feedback thanks ... however am too much of a noob, or so it seems ... when I make a .bat file with -s it simply won't start the cgminer ... well it does but closes very quickly.

Put this at the end of your .bat file:

Code:

pause

That'll keep the window up until you press a key so that you can see what's going on.  What's probably happening is cgminer doesn't like something you're doing and is showing an error message, but windows closes it before you can see it.

Also, you'll probably find it's faster if you name it .cmd instead of .bat.  windows hasn't needed .bat files in a very long time.

ckolivas and kano, thanks for cgminer and the hard work you put into it. I think people take it for granted and feel entitled to having it at times. I see it as a wonderful gift from you guys to the community at large and feel it is not honored quite often enough. I'm just starting out mining, but once I have a few spare coins, I will certainly send some your way.

Now of course I also have a problem, namingly getting ADL to work. I compiled 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 from github, under Ubuntu 13.04 64bit. I can get it to work, just fine, using amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64, AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx64 and ADL_SDK_5.0, it reporting back on configure that it found ADL. On make I can't see any errors, so I assumed all works well, until I start it.

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100

/usr/local/cgminer/cgminer -I 19 --scrypt --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 -g 1 -o poolurlremoved -u userremoved -p passremoved

That's my first clue something is wrong, the second that it doesn't show fan speed nor temperatures. It will also not allow me to change any GPU settings, not even showing the options in the G menu. On my workstation there I can see and alter those options.

I searched all over the place and tried everything I could think of to no avail. So I tried to get some debugging info.

Code:

 [2013-05-15 22:57:09] 2 GPU devices max detected

Also ran it with --verbose --debug --worktime (both normal and the ndevs) but didn't get more output really than I already posted.

Also tried the build from the page cgminer-3.1.1-x86_64-built.tar.bz2 to be precise. It errors out with this message first:
./cgminer: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Fixed it up with this symlink:
ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0

Endresult is the exact same though.

I can repeat this process on two separate machines, one with two 7950, the other with a 5770 in it.

The only thing I want to keep is Linux, I really don't want to switch to windows on these boxes if I can avoid it. What kind of Linux, I don't really care as long as I get the temperature, fanspeed and gpu settings to work.

If there is any more data I can deliver, please let me know.

Run it from the cmd line and check it works,before you put it in a .bat file ?
