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 ...

I need an alternative to cgminermonitor since it the site will stop operation soon Sad
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...

Just got 7.7mh/s on X11 with 280x  Cool
Where i can get this bin ?  Smiley

The russian miner (kachur bins):

Here:

https://yadi.sk/d/cIOfdT7UghKAZ

You 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.

thanks for the info works fantastic. My 290 is running at 9.38MH/s which is a big boost from wolfs 7.2MH/S. Will use both depending on my usage. For long periods I will use the stable wolf bin but for short bursts the kachur bin

Awesome Miner    http://www.awesomeminer.com/

I tried that and cgremote - both have no alerts.

EDIT Hmmm I might've missed the alerts on Awesomeminer... Will take a second look

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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? ...

If I'm still awake. It's been over 36 hours.

no worries - ill check ...

Just a small extra for anyone interested. I updated my drivers to 15.6 Beta and using the wolf's bin I'm getting about 0.1Mhs more per 280X on the same settings in win 7. So for all those still on 14.6/7, I think you can safely upgrade to 15.6 for a small bump in hashrate.

Now although you can get faster speeds using that Kachur bin, personally, it is far from stable. I had to underclock my 280X's for it to not crash the drivers ever 1-2 hours, and even with the downclock the PC is rebooting at least once every 10 or so hours.

Now I have everything pretty well automated with CGwatcher so the reboot and everything is pretty seamless, however, I'm not sure I'm comfortable having my PC(and GPUs) restart all the time instead of at a constant it's been at all these months.

I'm getting pretty similar output using the russian bins (kachur?) on a 7970. 6.6MH/s 65 deg. but it's also winter here so that helps.
I get 7.5 MHASH with the kachur bins. 32bit sgminer and 15.6 driver (windows x86)
i cant go the windows method sp ...
it creates more work than i am willing to put into the farm ...
i am SO far behind the donation links and site - as well as the granitecoin site and coin rebuild - as well as the farm rebuild both physical as well as software - that it would be foolish of me to even look at windows at the moment ...
to top things off - there are some personal issues that are hovering and cannot be fixed with money - farm - btc - or anything material ... so i need to attend to those issues personally ...
there would be a great deal of interest IF you were to optimize the x11 algo for ccminer in linux though - as that is the majority of the farm ...
windows will never be a go in our farm - and the larger we get - the more reliant on linux we are ... and rightfully so ...
which is why we will be looking at an exclusivity of sorts with some parts of the farm - which may include a miner and optimizations for it ...
#crysx

You can use a 32bit linux distro like pimp. Use the latest sgminer 5.1

I posted the link to the bins some pages back. The size of the x11 bin is around 1.5 Meg, compared to wolf0's 920kb.

6.2MHASH on 7950 and 7.5MHASH on standard clocks.

i know sp - i have actually taken that into account also ... tanx for the info ...

i have not had the time to look into the pimp version and all that can be done due to personal reasons - but i will when i get the chance ...

ive never been a follower of 32bit version 'anything' - but have no issue 'playing' with the different versions of miners and compilations of miners when time permits ... unfortunately - time is restricted on my end at the moment ...

besides - wolf has proven himself time and time again on this ground with his delivery of quality components to the miners such as us ... so a reliable solid bin or miner is what we are after ...

i set a system up under windows and started the kachur miner - with drops of hashrate as well as dropping the link to the mining site on a constant basis ... im not sure if that is due to the miner re-directing the hashrate other than the pool that i use or not - but that is what is happening ...

wolfs bins do no such thing ... they are solid and 'just work' ...

as with your ccminer fork and optimizations - our farm is entrusted to very little outside of the miners and devs that we trust ... which you and wolf and a few other devs are included in ...
