OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

[HellDiverUK]

I run a 5870, a 6970 and a 7950 in one machine.  I was also running a 7770 as well, but it died.  They worked OK together.

I run a 5870, a 6970 and a 7950 in one machine.  I was also running a 7770 as well, but it died.  They worked OK together.

These threads are full of the troubles and pitfalls with mixing 7xxx with 5 and 6xxx GPU's.

This guy is having trouble regulating his temperature so I think mixing GPU types is a little above his head at the moment.

Always start with the simplest configuration and get working then and ONLY then start adding complexity.

Basic T/S techniques.

Is there a way to disable any fan management? Just let it handle itself like it did when I was using GUIMiner?

[dolby]

After 13 days of continuous work cgminer 2.11.4 receive this error: ''failed to create postcalc hash thread''

help what does this mean?

[stormos]

I have never seen cgminer was able to restart a dead GPU. Typical situation:

Restarting the program solves problem.

Something is wrong here

ati radeon 5800 and two 6800 series and one 7800 series

Uh, ok, your previous post said you had two GPU's now we're up to 4.

You should have your 7800 series in a different machine that the 5xxx and 6xxx series GPU's.

Did you read this threads top post yet?  If you have multiple GPU's/types in the same machine you really need to set your clock ranges per GPU.  The Top Post has easy to understand examples for that.

I have readed alot but still there is no extra flag for GPU TEMP.
I mean two GPUs in one graphic card.

I have 3 graphic cards in one PC is there not possible to have one configuration for all of them?
The safe one, for now I have regulated just a --gpu-fan 55-85 it wokrs ok for now U hope it won't turn off....

The easiest way it would be a GPU-TEMP if that rise for example over 85 oC it slows down mining....

[CumpsD]

--temp-overheat <arg> Overheat temperature when automatically managing fan and GPU speeds (default: 85)

No? Whenever it hits 85, it stops hashing till it cools down.

The manual, and stuff

I readed manual, but that doesn't work, yes it stops, but it wont start again when cools down. I tested it. better it would be to reduce hashing

Strange, works here If my card reaches 80, the load drops to 0% till it cools down and it picks up again

[Blisk]

thanks I will test again.
This only speeds up gpu fan to 100% not shut down hash

you probiably mean --temp-cutoff, that doesn't work.
when temp get settings like --temp-cutoff 76 than I get
Device recovered to temperature below target, re-enabling

after that nothing happends its stuck on it.
temp is 35 oC and fan is lower than 650 RPm and nothing is going on no hashing....

Hi guys! Having bad times trying to get cgminer work with rig with only (for now) one 6850 card.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gw7YPYgMgNNU42skibULbJJUx_suP_CpjSEdSi8_z9U/preview?sle=true manual
Installed catalyst-13.4

After all here is what i got:

Code:

set@miner:~/cgminer-3.1.1-x86_64-built$ ./cgminer -n

What is my next steps?

Is there a way to disable any fan management? Just let it handle itself like it did when I was using GUIMiner?

It's not a matter of disabling fan management. You're the one enabling fan management by giving it commands. Just don't give it any fan related commands and cgminer will only monitor them.

Ah ok. It must have added them by default then cause I didn't give it anything but the pool settings.

Auto Fan and gpu fan with a fan speed range is only one part of temp control.  You still need to set auto gpu with an engine clock range.

And there are plenty of "GPU TEMP" flags in the readme, gpu readme and top post.

[Blisk]

thanks I will read again the gpu-temp flags section.
Just one thing, why  --temp-cutoff doesn't work?
It won't start mining again when temp drops....
The whole time it is "Device recovered to temperature below target, re-enabling"
and nothing happends, or must be there another flag for starting mining again?

So, I've got a PC where there were HD 7770 + 7970 mining litecoin with no problem under win 7 32 bit.
I've got myself a hd5970 and replaced 7770 with it. Then I've got lots of troubles with drivers/sdk because no version of cgminer could start, just crashed.
So I installed a fresh copy of win 7 64 bit and 13.4 drivers with latest sdk. Now cgminer starts fine, gpus do something, but I have no image of what happening, cgminer's console window just shows blank black screen. Any idea how to fix that? What better drivers/sdk to install in this situation? I can already see how it's not so good to have different cards together in one machine.
