[ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net

[LionOfNarnia]

4k rpm probably means your fans are working at 100%
Can you verify those temperatures with another application? Maybe theres a bug with drivers or cgminer.
Just to be sure, is GPU0 and GPU1 a single 7990 or are those 2 separate gpus?

*GROWL* Does nobody read more than a couple of posts back?

YES verified by AfterBurner
YES 7990 is 2 gpus on one card

... and yes, I think it's a bug with the blake version of cgminer, I've had NO such probs on any other algo.

use a more simple conf and control the fans with msi afterburner problem is I think you are trying both from cgminer and from msi afterburner and this is getting issues

This is from one of my rigs has a basic conf and control of the cards is done by Sapphire TRIXX

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://la1.blakecoin.com:3334",
		"user" : "User.Worker",
		"pass" : "WorkerPass"
	}
],
"intensity" : "9,9,9",
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"no-restart" : true,
"queue" : "5",
"scan-time" : "40",
"worksize" : "256",
"blake256" : true,
"vectors" : "1",
"no-submit-stale": true,
"kernel-path" : "/"
}

[Calhil]

Ok. I thought 7990 would show as only 1 gpu in cgminer.
Could you use this config and set core/memory frequencies as low as possible in an external program?

Code:

{
        "pools": [
                {
                        "url": "stratum+tcp://eu3.blakecoin.com:3334",
                        "user": "",
                        "pass": ""
                }
        ],
        "blake256": true,
        "gpu-reorder": true,
        "device": "0,1",

        "intensity": "8,8",
        "gpu-threads": "2",

        "gpu-fan": "100",
        "temp-cutoff": "95",
        "temp-overheat": "85",
        "temp-target": "75",
        "temp-hysteresis": "3"
}

If this proves to be stable, start increasing intensity for both cards by 1: "9,9" then "10,10", etc. When you find highest intensity you can use, start increasing core frequency.

Cheers Calhil,

I'll give that a whirl & report back.

[LionOfNarnia]

OK, we're off to a start anyway - slow but cool (like me!)

That looks better

I was able to clone the git repository for the miner but can't get it to build.  Anybody with some pointers?

Calhil did a build guide to ubuntu here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=306894.msg6764336#msg6764336

Beautiful!  Thanks so much.  I'll give it a try when I get back in front of my rig.

[LionOfNarnia]

OK, @ 14,14 temps are OK (68,62), rate is 2.3Gh/s

What should I increase 1st, core clock or mem clock?

[Calhil]

My bad, you should ONLY increase core frequency and keep memory frequency low.

[LionOfNarnia]

My bad, you should ONLY increase core frequency and keep memory frequency low.

Ahh! Thank you.

I'm actually up to core 750 mem 875 now, with temps 85/75 & hash 3.44 now.

But now I know WHAT to do, I'll keep on tweaking until I get a max usable set-up.

good to hear you got it running well 

the algo is mostly all on the core so no real mem usage and lower the draw for mem the higher you should be able to push your core clocks

good luck let us know how it goes 

[LionOfNarnia]

Think I've pretty much maxxed it out now - 3.6GH/s with mem 750 (minimum), core 790, I=11,14 & temps = 89,77 (ambient 22) but I'll keep on tweaking later. It's drinkies time now

- Perhaps not as good as it should be for an HD7990, & I'll have to run it for a few days to see if it's more  - and I HATE the word - "profitable" than Myriad.

But at least I can dare to leave it running overnight now.

Appreciate all the help, guys. Not only have I solved a problem but I've learned much more about how things work, which means I'll be able to help others a bit now too. Isn't that what 'community' is all about?

Im having issues tuning my cards running win 7 cgminer 3.1.1 the program will not let me change my settings at all. The core clock and memclock will not change from 1550/1000 in the cgminer program. When I change my conf it does nothing. Any thoughts?

one of my rigs was like that I use this basic conf here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=306894.msg6880132#msg6880132

and use Sapphire TRIXX to do the control win 7 cgminer 3.1.1 (could also use MSI AfterBurner)

Just got it up and working.  Great guide Calhil!  Thanks for pointing it out BlueDragon.  You guys saved a linux noob like myself hours of frustration.  Much appreciated.

I'll send some tips along once I get the funds to my wallet from my pool.

[EDIT] - Tips sent, sorry its not much, but that's all I've been able to mine so far.  Now that my Linux rig is up and running coins should be accumulating nicely

Uhh, Guys ....

The eu3 pool dropped out about 10 mins ago so I tried to add the other two to my config, but now it gives JSON error & won't load.

So I've done something wrong, can someone say what?

Code:

{
        "pools": [
                {
                        "url": "stratum+tcp://eu3.blakecoin.com:3334",
                        "user": "DiracConvertUK.beast",
                        "pass": "x"
                }

                        "url": "stratum+tcp://ny2.blakecoin.com:3334",
                        "user": "DiracConvertUK.beast",
                        "pass": "x"
                }

                        "url": "stratum+tcp://la1.blakecoin.com:3334",
                        "user": "DiracConvertUK.beast",
                        "pass": "x"
                }
        ],

prompt how many now it is possible to earn on one card 290 which gives 3400 Gh, in day

NY2 has been working for me.  Getting the same JSON error with LA1

[EDIT] - Not sure if this is a cut and paste, but you are missing some '{' and commas.  I have corrected the code above.  Try pasting it back into your config file.

EU3 crashed reset should be up again

JSON error is if eloipool cant find your worker in db double check details *nvm just checked LA1 was also down

will keep a close eye on pools could be more DDoS
