sgminer: Baikal Giant X10 / N / B - Open Source - Confirmed OC Giant B!

[etoque]

Do we think Giant N will eventually get new CN algos?

No. If they did - Baikal would never have their 5 for 1 offer.

did your github oc image still work for BKB ?

I try installing BFGminer as someone pointed out it might work so I take the easiest way but all update or installing become a fail process ''Killedg package lists... 99%/20%''

So I wonder if baikal setup some auto delete stuff or thing like that,im worried even your image might not work for me. just want to know before start trying if its something 'serious' or not( I see possible hardware issue on some forum)
thanks

There is no auto-deletion. About the error look at README.md for compilation errors. BFGminer need correct driver for your baikal device, otherwise it will not work.

Wow thanks for fast answer ! I will try this asap !

''cd sgminer-baikal''

Where do I find this folder ? Can't found the path

thanks alot

This folder will be created after git clone. All you need just follow {How to install and compile?}

As xxALEXANDRxx says, follow the instructions.

Sure, BFGMiner will work, but you will need to create a new set of USB drivers/library to communicate with baikal asic. Obviosly - BFGMiner will not be an easy way.

"cd sgminer-baikal" means that you will open folder named "sgminer-baikal", which is there as long as you have cloned git repository sucessfully. Just a tip: If you`re not sure of what you are doing, i suggest that you do a little research before you mess up your machine, and don`t know how to get it back :-)

Alright so everything when well.

except one thing,it show 480mhz when I put 415 mhz,did you know why? I've read entire thread again and I see 1-2 ppl asking for same thing and nobody seems able to answer to their question about this exact situation.it is predetermined overclock or something else ? it seems strange to me,temperature is the same with +80mhz

thanks

I flash 2 machine I'll try to compare Utility work over 12-24h see if there's difference with my other non-flash baikal

after 2-3 hours at least WU is around 6 while my other miner are more 5.5-5.6. For now share seems more consistent after flashing,will see later.

[cod3gen]

There are some changes needed in sgminer code in order to allow for changing frequency, so for now its preset to 480 mhz, which gives a slight OC.

hello,

temperature still suggest that overclock didn't apply now utility is around 5.2 to 5.7 for (3) flashed machine vs (+10) 5.5 look like it might stabilize more with time. supernova suck at verifying stats,this site is bad as 2014 lol

[etoque]

utility falls to 5.5 too,with temperature same I don't think there's any overclocking really apply on it.

Whats if baikal just told us truth and its really not possible overclock those miner ?

Can't believe 20% rise to clock can't get up the temperature even 1% greater,they are literally same.impossible any overclockk have apply,physic say it must be hotter lol.

I believe there is no pool paying according heat radiated from miners, so what is pool saying about hashrate?

[xxALEXANDRxx]

Can you show the start page of your baikal?

[etoque]

I think pool show good information from baikal sgminer. but its hard to tell if I really got an gain in reward since reward itself move so much day to day.

some point out that sgminer and pool tiself might show correct value but physically its not overclock at all it seems

physic and science tell rise in clock result of gain in caloric heat that I don't have actually. 20% rise should definitively be visible.

So at this point overclocking on giant B is false imo

Don`t think so much about wattage and temp, the fact is that if you`re seeing higher hashrate on pool side, then your Giant B is overclocked!

what if poolside take good information from sgminer baikal ? share rate move alot intra day or day to day due to nicehash miner movement and luck.

I find it wrong that 20% gain in clock cannot result of any increase in heat,strongly suggest that overclock didn't apply physically but only on software part

[xxALEXANDRxx]

Just config 2 miner (or and reconf) to mine 1 coin on same pool to different wallets. After 24 hours compare the income indicators.

good idea i'll try it later

Pools dont take that information from your miner and miner does not send such information towards pools, they calculate that them selfs :-)

Someone and dismantled the "baikal D"? could you post a photo, firmware and program?

[Olimarkhausen]

Baikal Giant D? You mean that Giant B?

Giant D, is a new shit machine from Baikal..
