[Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners

[patrike]

Patrike,

When using "Run mining process with Administrator privileges", srbminer-multi just shows a blank console. It still mines, but there's no visible output.

Yes this can happen on many different miner in AM, not only srbminer-multi.

I've improved this for SrbMiner multi and Miniz miner.

@Patrike
Can you take a look in MiniZ miner. AM used the 3h Average hashrate for reading and not the realtime hashrate. Maybe you can change it and add the 3h average as average mining speed, like teamreadminer.

I've looked into the MiniZ API response, but it only includes a single hashrate. "speed_sps" (Solutions Per Second) and Awesome Miner will report this as the current hashrate. The MiniZ web interface do report two hashrates like you point out, but for some reason I can only see one in their API.

Strange, because AM show me 16 Sols the whole time and in the miniz window, the hashrate depends from 14 - 17 sols and the average is 16 Sols.

Ok i checked the API, Miniz only show the average speed over the API.  
Maybe the MiniZ developer can add this, i will ask him.

Hi Patrike,

New Miniz miner version out 1.6x

[immolated]

Using awesome miner firmware, I have a target temperature set of 77 C.  My fan runs very quiet, temps creep up to 77, then fans kick on full blast for 3 seconds. Temps go back to 72, and quiet again. Repeat every couple minutes. It's very annoying because I usually have my L3+ running in my house.  Can you fix the logic to work like Blissz silent profile (fan will slowly increase speed until stable at target temperature). And then don't decrease speed until there's a delta of 2-3 degrees AND 1 hr has elapsed since last increase (to avoid constant changes in fan speed). The key is reducing changes in fan speed as this increases perceptible noise (your brain drowns out white noise perfectly unless it's constantly changing).

Right now the strategy of jumping to 72-77 deg with fan going from 900 rpm to full blast is very bad for electronics in terms of thermal cycling, and bad for airflow since I have multiple antminers connected to same exhaust area (so if one is randomly going to full blast it will backflow to others that are barely at speed). Need them all nice and stable!

Edit:
Did more testing
It appears that no matter what you set your target temperature to, when it hits 77 C, max fan speeds apply and temporarily override everything for 10 sec.
Set target to 80 C, it will only get to 77 before applying max fans, dropping temp back to 72
Set target to 77 C, it will still get to 77 and apply max fans
Set target to 76, it will be ok at first with gentle fan increases, but then barely jump into 77 ...and jump to full blast
Set target to 75, it will be ok most of the time...gentle fan increases to 75-76, and more rarely bump to 77 and then go full blast still.
Set target to 74, it will sometimes overshoot to 75-76, but small fan increases will stop it from hitting 77, so we're always nice and quiet. Adjustments are still +/-200rpm which is noisy and over shoots the low end.
Set target to 70, it makes very quiet, minor fan adjustments (+/- 20rpm), I like this! Perfect behavior. But I wish I could have my system stay warmer (76 C range) with this small adjustment behavior because I prefer slower 76 C fan load compared to to 70 C fan load.

So I think I found the fix: Undo the 77 C hard coded max fan speed. Since the default target is 65, adding 12 to 65 = 77.  If I change target temperature, change max fan speed override to (target)+12.  So if I set a target of 75, don't start overriding fast fan speeds until it approaches 87.

Hope that makes sense!

Also if fan check is on, the antminer will restart when hitting 77, and the tuning page says "Fan Err! Disable PIC! Fan1 speed is too low 1770 pwm 100". If I disable fan check, the error goes away and no restart happens. Very weird since this shows up when fans go faster.

Can you please let me know the configured temperature for "Chain disable temp" (the overheat feature)? Please also try to increase this value.

The firmware will try to make sure you are at least 10 C below this temperature and can increase the fan speed if needed. By increasing this temperature limit it will be less likely you run into a high fan speed.

I had Chain disable temp blank (so default 85). Changed it to 95, but still having same problem. I set target temp to 77, it gets to 78, fans go on full blast for a few seconds, it's then at 72, fans go super low back to 900rpm, then it creeps back up to 78, fans go on full blast again.

Thanks for the update. We will use your feedback and comments for future improvements. As for today, there are not really any additional parameters to play around with other than those you already used.

Any updates on this fix? The bug is harmful for silent setups because the fan is constantly going to Max at the wrong temperature.

This is what my settings look like:
https://i.imgur.com/lj10DPk.png

But fans go to max at 77 C, which over corrects temp back down to 70 C, and temp never gets to 79.

Also, if I set a manual fan speed, the fans still go to max at 77 C.  In that scenario I don't want max to kick in until something like 85C or whatever I set the overheat protection to.

Anyone having issues with Awesome Miner not showing up after this new Nvidia update?

As soon as I updated Nvidia, I went to restart Awesome Miner and it pops up in my taskbar at the bottom of the screen but no app ever shows up. Did a few reboots, uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem persists.

Thought maybe its my system but I went ahead and tried to manually run T-REX but that is also having issues with this driver from the forum thread and error reports I just seen. Seems I can only get NBMiner running manually for ETH mining but no Awesome Miner at all or many other standalone miners.

[joseph32]

I also tested T-Rex (cuda 10.0 and 11.1) and Gminer, both are not working with the new Nvidia driver. The latest stable is 457.51. The windows version doesn't matter, tested with 1909 and 2H20. Its all the same crap.

The other question is, why you update to newest driver? It is not need, newer driver don´t bring better performance. So stay on the driver that is working.
Much people talk about problems with nvidia 460 driver, because there is something changed, some files moved to other folders.

I do some research today.

It looks like there are many reports out there about issues with the latest nVidia drivers (v460). I noticed that Nicehash recommended all their users to stay on the previous driver versions due to all the mining related issues.

I will take a look and see if I can find anything else. It might be that this driver release simply is broken and nVidia will give us something better in the near future.

Hi Patrike,

Hi Patrike,

New Miniz miner version out 1.6x

I've pushed an update for this one yesterday. I also noticed their web site was unavailable from time to time yesterday, probably because the high traffic following the new release.

Yes i see.
I add -avg1 180 to have the real hash showing in Awesomeminer. This option change the 3h average in 3min average.
Another question is, why AM only show whole numbers for hashrate and the MiniZ api gives for example 17.45 and AM show 17.00. Can you change this?

I've made an update to make sure Awesome Miner display the hashrate more exact, like "17.45" instead of 17 as you pointed out. This change will be part of the next release.

The API is currently not providing both the current and the average hashrate. If both of them were available, it would be possible for Awesome Miner to display.

Anyone having issues with Awesome Miner not showing up after this new Nvidia update?

As soon as I updated Nvidia, I went to restart Awesome Miner and it pops up in my taskbar at the bottom of the screen but no app ever shows up. Did a few reboots, uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem persists.

Thought maybe its my system but I went ahead and tried to manually run T-REX but that is also having issues with this driver from the forum thread and error reports I just seen. Seems I can only get NBMiner running manually for ETH mining but no Awesome Miner at all or many other standalone miners.

I've tried out the latest nVidia 460 drivers and at least Awesome Miner starts and shows nVidia GPU's.
1) Which nVidia GPU do you have? I've only tried with a 2000-series GPU so far.
2) Can you please send me the Awesome Miner log file?

At the moment I am just running 1x 2080ti and 2x 1080ti's. I am having all kinds of issues with other software since this update, basically some apps....Awesome Miner included will load but not draw on the screen. So basically you can see it in the taskbar load, see it also over in the quick launch bar on the right but you click on them and nothing pops up. I am running on the latest Windows 10 20H2 version, could also be the issue, I figured try it out but maybe as usual this is another bugged out windows deployment.

Let me grab the log and I will send it to you guys, appreciate the help. Looking at it...seeing a bunch of failures but I am not up on what could be the cause. Have even my antivirus off in case but its always had an exclusion to all folders AM needs so don't think that could be the issue.

Thanks for the log file - I will get back to you on the support request you sent.

I did notice that Awesome Miner is unable to read the nVidia fan speed on the latest 460.79 drivers. I've made an update for this and a new release will be made available later today.

Appreciate the help, maybe with some hope the new update might set my system right with Awesome Miner. I been with you guys since early 2017 and honestly this is the only time I ever had any issue and I suspect its probably just a combination of updates from Windows mixing with the new Nvidia driver. For the time being I got my miners manually on ETH with NBMiner so I am good for the moment.

If you need any more logs or anything from my end to help out just let me know, I will check here and the email address I attached in my support message. No worries though, always said AM been my best purchase in crypto and still remains that way for me.

 GPU mining
  - Reading the nVidia fan speed is supported with the latest nVidia driver (v460.79). Note: A number of mining software isn't fully compatible with the latest nVidia drivers yet, please wait with upgrading the nVidia drivers if possible.
 Features
  - Miner Group summary can be configured for multiple additional properties to display. Configurable in the Options dialog, General section
  - Miner Group summary can be configured to display the 24 hour average hashrate for the miners
 Mining software
  - TeamRedMiner 0.7.19
  - Nanominer 3.1.4
  - T-Rex miner 0.19.3
  - CpuMiner-Opt 3.15.3

[forato]

In Main TAB/ Miners I can see all tempetures (one by one) on columm STATUS. On Colum PERFORMANCE I only can see the total os hashrate. To see each one hash (by GPU) I have to go to GPU TAB after select the miner.

Is there a way to see one by one ? (so i did not have to select the miner to see what GPU is low hash)

[darkhorror2001]

patrike ....got your message and in case my response doesn't pass through the email I wanted to say thanks here. That was the issue, soon as I expanded in task manager and did the Maximize option it brought back Awesome Miner for me. So I really appreciate the help. I think I goofed it up when I was messing around with a Virtual Pinball setup on my monitors here when AM was open, but all resolved.

Thanks again!
