I have a couple of machines running 3 5970s and am getting higher than usual stale rates. The stale rate for these machines seems to stay around .95% while other boxes with 5830s or 6950s are running rates from .2% to .35%. Has anyone else seen this and do you have an explanation for this?

two 3x 5970 rigs, one 2x 5970 rig - last twelve hours .17% - .37% stales - consistent with prior stats. only variance factor noted are the pools, some are better some are worse.

Before drawing any conclusions, make sure you
take your measurements on a long enough time
scale/number of shares. IMO, watching things for
a couple of hours isn't enough to draw conclusions.



I have tested the machines for multiple days and on different pools. Same results. Could this be something with the aggression setting in phoenix?

Well, it looks like I found my answer. Seems that my home internet connection has something to do with it. When I moved the boxes to the DC, the stale rate moved back to where all of the other miners were at. Weird.

Yeah IIRC, your internet connection has a lot to do with stales.  High latency = more stales, but I'm not sure why.

That probably explains my high stale rate...  I have 9 rigs on hubs that are on a 200 feet of cat5 from the router

You are kidding right?

Good Ethernet cable will transmit at about 70% of speed of light.  200ft of extra cable maybe adds 0.0000001 seconds to transmission time.

When I first set up in the shed, I only had 3 rigs.. stale was at .3%  as I added rigs, the stales got higher.  could be the old hub im using. not sure

I have a target rich environment for improvement and higher hashrates Smiley
