Well, after initial good results on both my rigs with 9.6, I now have problems with both.  Woke up this morning to rig #2 (6x RX 470s) crashed and all fans blasting. This happened the night before with core/clock settings of 1200/1950, so I had lowered it to 1200/1920.  It ran all day fine then just a few minutes ago, I check it and I had the same "Open CL hung in thread 10 & 11" issue that had occurred the night before.  Now I have it set at default 1242/1900, so we will see how that goes.

On Rig #1 that had been running 4x rx 470s for over 4 days straight at 1242/1900, it just experienced that sporadic fan blasting issue that others have encountered. So, I had to reboot and reset that one as well.

Bottom line, there definitely appear to be stability issues with the 4xx series cards, so hopefully this is something that can be addressed in the forthcoming v10. 

I know this belongs on the CPU thread but I have also seen weird things going on with Claymore CPU XMR Miner 3.5.  I have 3 K series i7's mining it and on 2 of my 3 PCs, the hash-rate has inexplicably dropped by about 10-15%.  This is after restarting and rebooting several times and there is nothing else running CPU wise, yet for some reason it's not as effective.

Really looking forward to the GPU miner update. Thanks in advance Claymore!

So... both rigs ran fine overnight with the 1242/1900 settings, but then this morning, rig #2 crashes and reboots again. Same settings, same cards, generally same setup, but rig 2 is just unstable. Got it running again but now I am getting sporadic "low difficulty shares".  Does anyone know what the main causes of these are?  Also, what problems do they cause?  I've heard of people getting banned from dwarf for too many of these so I don't want that to happen, but don't know what to do to fix it either. Right now at least it I've only seen 2 in about 25 minutes of running but not sure what "too many" is either.

I have good luck with 1200/1900=695hs on three rigs.  I would suggest looking at the log file to see if one or more gpu is taking to long for a solution like more than 1750ms.

Thanks HashZilla... I am beginning to wonder/fear that this is a hardware (riser or GPU) issue, since my other rig is running fine for the most part (only that 1 fan issue in almost a full week running XMR). Yesterday, rig #1 ran fine with 1200/1900 from about 10am to 8pm, then a random reboot. Happened again just after midnight, then again at 4:30am... so I lost 4-5 hours of mining time there since I was sleeping.

I did check the log files for what you mentioned but all 6 GPUs are under that 1750ms mark. most are in the 1500-1600 range, only 1 is usually running about 1720-1730 (this is the 1 that I have not strap-modded yet since i noticed it has Samsung memory while all my other MSI 470's have Hynix memory).

I did notice that on 1 of the crashes, the log file shows a ridiculous mark of like 65000ms on GPU #1 about 1 minute before it crashed.  But, when I checked another log file, I didn't see anything like that so who knows what is causing this. I am well under my 1200W power limit so that's not the issue.  If I see this same behaviour today I may switch it over to ETH and see what happens.  At least that might narrow down if it's a hardware or miner issue.

Hi

I have 4 rigs that work perfectly with Zcash (Claymore miner 9.2 no crashes whatsoever until now)  

1)  7 x R7 370 ; windows 10 ; Crimson 15.12
2)  7 x R7 370 ; windows 10 ; Crimson 15.12
3)  2 x Rx480 + 4 R9 380 ; Crimson 16.9.2
4)  6 x Rx480 ;  Crimson 16.9.2

Monero is quite profitable at the moment, Rigs 1 and 2 worked perfectly with monero  miner 9.6.
However recurrent crashes occur with rigs 3 and 4. Sometimes after 15min, sometimes after a few hours.
I have no clue of whatever is wrong !

Maybe Crimson 16.9.2 is not what I need for monero miner??

Help.

We are waiting for new miners, but generally pass on 9. 5 and you will have happiness!

Rig 3 ans 4 seem stable now. I installed this driver non-whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.11.4-nov15.
Getting around 700H/s for the Rx480 and 530 H/s for the R9 380 (no overclocking). Running fine for more than 6 hours now.
I'll watch and see

any good and stable pool??

0% fee!!

Did you start this pool?

I didn't personally started the pool, one of our Hungarian community miner members did.
But it's legit, we have a nice little Hun mining community, I make mining videos and also started a mining forum:

Back to ETH mining
More profitable anyway

I did not see the benefits. . and no prospects.

The benefit is that ETH is currently more profitable to mine than XMR.  For my 10-GPU set-up, XMR profit per day has dropped to $9.52 due to skyrocketing difficultly, but ETH has now jumped ahead of it to $10.23 per day due to diff drop and rise in price.

Granted, if you are of the opinion that XMR has a much brighter future than ETH and your are holding what you mine, then my all means, continue mining XMR.  But you have to realize that a lot of miners are mining most profitable coin then quickly converting it to BTC, so if you are not holding ETH or XMR or ZEC, you should always be mining the coin with the highest profitability ratio.

The interesting thing is that when I checked this last night, ZEC was very close to the others, but now, even though the price is up a bit, profitability plummeted to $5.79 since the difficulty is up like 70% vs last night. Crazy that diff can fluctuate that much!

what setup to use for rx 480 nitro+ 4gb samsung memory , i dont want to have lowdifficulty message error , at the moment im using 1120 / 1850  (1500 straps) and under 60w at gpu-z per card !! but sometimes every 20-30min i get the lowdifficulty error message

9.5 Use version

So with 9.5 i can get past 720 h/s  with my 480 ?  I think with 1150/2050 it can get more than 760 per card

I use ver 9.6 and I do 780 per card with my 480
I had to ut  -a 4 and -h 0 tho or else it was unstable

Whats your setup ? And what brand memory

windows 10
samsung memory
6 time RX480 OC

Any solution to mining solo xmr ? at gpu ?

pffff even at 9.5 i still get "lowdifficulty" share error ,

rx 480 samsung 1120/1850

did you add -a 4 -h 0 to your batch file ?

Well the benefit of mining monero is the reduced cosumption of energy and less heat. But i still didnt calculated if is more or less profitable than mining zec.

[forzendiablo]

ZEC is still better at this point

I use ver 9.6 but after 3 hours mining the pc got problem with Fan GPU. The Fan of 2 GPU not working and temp over 80 degree but i monitor hashrate still normal, anyone help me to solve this problem. TKS alot

By default settings miner does not manage temperature or fan speed.

I set -tt 80 already on setting and when it didn't work, go to Msi afterburn to change fan setting to auto for 2 card but nothing happen. Now the driver version of GPU is 16.9.2, it seem to be not stable

290-305w from wall

I don't know how you get 730 h/s,  best i can get with this is

For now you can add -h 1024 to the.bat file
You will see at least 730 h/s

nop, still same h/s
don't know why
tried to clock more core but it crashes

[sp_]

Yes it's planned in upcoming release. Unfortunately, I had to postpone it a bit because I decided to release an update for XMR miner firstly (it will be released in 1-2 days).

ETA for the new XMR miner? Any speedups?
