Question about CGMINER

[khoi342]

Hi, I'm a newbie so I can't post in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0

I have a question about CGMINER.

What is HW (Hardware Errors)?
I've got 20 Hardware Errors after running in 6hrs, 3,448 shares accepted.
Is it ok?

I'm using HD7970, GPU Clock 1030 @ 1049mV, 60*C

Thanks

Hello khoi342,

Getting Hardware errors isn't good, you can still mine but it's signaling that your card is going bad (sort of like the check engine light in a car). No way to tell when it will totally die though, could be in 1 day or 10 years.

Thanks. I read and it doesn't explain what HW is.

I think you should downclock the card if it's overclocked now or increase the gpu voltage, but just monitor the temprature and don't let it to rise over 80 degrease.

Those are actual internal errors produced by the card.  Not necessarily a sign of a bad card, what SDK and driver version are you using?
