Just got 7.7mh/s on X11 with 280x  Does it run stably? I've tossed out lots of "speedups" because they crashed the miner, or killed the driver (requiring a reboot), in under 24 hours. It's called quality control. Yeah that bin is quite unstable, nowhere near the stability of yours, which ran for weeks without a single reboot. That bin constantly needs a restart at least once every 10-24Hrs. I lowered my clock speeds and it does seem more stable(still crashes though), currently getting about 3Mhs more from the bins, but a lot more restarts. I only have one rig with 4 cards and cgwatcher, so it's manageable I'm around 7MH/s on 280X now. I need to rewrite SIMD, but ugh, that hash is shit. stability and reliability is what something that our farm NEEDS ... so it is worth a 'play' with the other bins / miners when time permits ... but for unattended use - i am more than happy to continue with what we know is a stable solid implementation of the bins and miner ... when you are ready wolf - let me know ... i want to try out your work on the 280x / 7970 cards and see what can be hashed ... quark is also one of the other algos i am very interested in for amd ... none of the 'standard' miners work as well as the russian one - and i would be interested in using yours under linux ... i am just not interested in spending any more time on the farm than necessary - and so stability and reliability with maximum output is the only things that matter at the moment ... which is why the amd systems are running the sgminer-dev compile in fedora 19 x64 with your previous bins for x11 - and the nvidia systems are running the ccminer-spmod compile in fedora 20 x64 - latest v57 ... havent rebooted these systems for more than week now - except for the newly compile ccminer-spmod v57 machines which we are compiling today ... #crysx You wanted to know what I have current on Quark, here you go (nsfw): https://ottrbutt.com/miner/quarkwolf-07282015.pngimpressive - and linux native ... me likey  ... is it just a miner? ... a bin? ... or both? ... pm me - email me - or skype me ( chrysophylax69 ) with the what is needed to get it please wolf ... #crysx Well, it's a miner and a bin - IRC okay with you? irc is fine - but wont be in the office till later this evening ... i wont be using irc on this work machine until i can build my linux system here also ... i dont trust it - its a windows system ... you do know there restrictions with what i can do with the OS - and needs to be fedora 19 x64 for the time being ... so a static build or source to build ( even if you build it under those conditions ) are required for this compile wolf ... in any case - can chat in a few hours time if that is ok with you mate? ... #crysx If I'm still awake.

It's called quality control. It runs stable with few cards in the rig. I think it's because it uses more power, and you need a bigger powersupply. I use 2 amd cards and fill the rest of the slots with 750ti's. |

The russian miner (kachur bins): Here: https://yadi.sk/d/cIOfdT7UghKAZYou need to run with the latest AMD drivers to get the best speeds. catalyst 15.6 or 15.7 For hawaii cards/furyx just rename the tahiti bin On linux it will only work with 32bit installations. Compile the latest sgminer 4.2(fastest) and copy the x11 bin file. |

I use 2 amd cards and fill the rest of the slots with 750ti's. I can confirm that it does not run stably in my rig. As I said, even when downclocked to stock speeds, the miner crashes and the rig restarts at least once every 10-24H. I have enough power-1050W Gold Rated Corsair for 2 280X's and one 7990. |

I need an alternative to cgminermonitor since it the site will stop operation soon  What do you guys use for monitoring and alerts? Accent is on the latter. Like if a GPU goes hot/slow/sick/dead to get an alert... |

Will use both depending on my usage. For long periods I will use the stable wolf bin but for short bursts the kachur bin |

Tweak the settings, and tweak some more. Try different bins. Tweak settings again. And again. And again. Finally, I think I found the sweet spot. My r9 290 has been stable for 4.5 hours now. The temp has stayed under 65C. The power consumption has stayed about 175W. Sgminer is reporting a hash rate > 9.6 Mh/s and my mining pool has continuously been reporting my accepted hash rate is at, or greater, than 10 Mh/s.

please share your settings and details ... would really like to now more ... especially the 'how' and what you are using to get the hashrates ... #crysx |

Wow if you dont mind sharing your findings I would greatly appreciate it. I just flashed my unlocked 290 to 290x and getting 10.4MH but if your getting >9.6 on a 290 I would love to know how. |

Not sure the settings are going to be stable just yet. There is one weird quirk I have observed, and it is making me a bit suspicious. I have noticed it happening on three different restarts so far. The first was several hours ago, when I first ran across the settings. The power usage started out at about 150W. Over about an hour, it had crept up to about 160W. I wanted to try some different settings, so I changed the conf and restarted. This time it started at about 166W. Over about 4 hours, it crept up to about 175W. Just to see if I was losing my mind, I decided to shut down and let the system cool all the way down. Once it was sitting at 38C, I restarted. Power usage was about 166W on startup. It has been running for 36 minutes, and the power usage is now up to 169.4W. And now it is 169.5W. I just noticed both the amperage and the voltage increased by the minimum increment. And now it is 169.6W. I don't know. Something just doesn't feel quite right about it. Oh, as for the "magic number".... and this to your conf file Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but my gpu really likes running 3 threads. |

i no longer hold any 290 or 290x cards - only gigabyte 280x oc cards now in the farm ... so it really is purely for the 'how' ... for me anyway ...
-g 3 can work well with sgminer - but i have found that ( at least with the 280x ) that a higher clock rate and a lower thread count ( -g 2 in the 280x - at 1100 gpuclock / 1500 memclock ) it worked the best ... some cards work really well at 1125 / 1500 ( or even 1125 / 1490 ) but the gigabyte ones i have cant be pushed that far - and are restricted to the driver version contained in the repo for fedora 19 x64 ...
im just too damned lazy to do implicit installs on each and every machine contained in the farm ...
as for the power usage ... you will find that with EVERY card used today ... and it all boils down to the heat ...
no matter how good your heat dissipation may be - the rule of thumb is simple ... the higher the clocks - the higher the heat generation - the higher the power ...
thefarm is a perfect example of that ... when its freezing cold ( not that i could get it that cold - but humor me and just flow ) - thefarm uses the least power yet hashes the same if not better than when its warm or hot ... adversely - the hotter thefarm - the more power it uses for about the same hashrate ...
so its got to work harder the hotter it is - which uses more power ...
anyway - bed for me ... im stuffed and babbling now ...

That is has been my experience with electronics in general. In this case, the temperature is remaining constant, but the power usage keeps rising. Matter of fact, as of right now, the power usage has continued to creep up, and is currently sitting at 171.0W. The voltage has ticked up another notch, and the amperage has increased by about 1 amp since I last posted. |
