I have a Patrike doubt about the new power temperature system. The first thing I've noticed is that I get more hash. I use both power and core systems. I have the power one at 75 and the Core one at 76 degrees.
Using both systems, power should have more priority than Core.
In the interface I do not define a default power because if not all rigs would start with the same power, but then I see that you have to specify a minimum Power, right now in my case it is 70%.
My question is, I have a rig running at 85 power, when it reaches the target temperature that occurs.
1.- The power falls directly from 85 to 70 (I don't see it right)
2.- When you approach the target temperature, the power is gradually reduced, suppose the case of 5 in 5, which would be 85 is as it was, 80, 75 and finally 70.
The option that I commented is the two, because to make a fall from 85 to 70 it happens that the rig reaches 77 and suddenly falls to 72 degrees, then rises again to 75-77, then falls again.
I should have hysteresis. I don't know if that word exists in English. It is that the system acts a couple of degrees before dropping 5 a degree before the target, wait 30 seconds to see if temperature falls, if not, again lower it 5 degrees, etc. If after reaching the minimum defined by me, in this case 70, and if I have temperature activated also by the core, then at that time the core fall would be activated. OSea first give priority to see if the power drop produces the desired effect, and if you do not get it with my minimum, then pay attention to the Core drop, if defined in the OC.
It's a good job anyway, but I think it lacks this little detail that I tell you.
Thanks for testing out the new feature. It's a bit basic at the moment, but the idea was to give you something to try with to see if the concept is working. I didn't want to implement something too complex in case the entire concept of Power Limit control wasn't found useful.
I fully understand your point about not making too frequent changes and not too large changes. Having multiple multiple temperature targets would also be an improvement. I will look into making some improvement here. Thanks for the feedback!
It really works quite well, now I have the power temperature limit at 74 degrees and the core limit at 76 degrees.
The only thing is that you didn't answer me. Is that if I have set a minimum of 70% and throw a miner at 85% power, if the power drops suddenly from 85 to 70, or it does so little by little and maybe the power stays for example at 75% in time of 70 because it already maintains the temperature.
Really more hash is obtained by reducing power than Core, the only thing I ask is that the power reduction be gradual until the minimum marked. You don't have to hit the 85% jump I'm working at 70%. Going down in 3 or 5 point jumps would be great.
Combine both systems, power and core already, you just have to give it two different temperatures, setting the core temperature higher in case the power reduction is not enough.
It has certainly been a success. The only thing that worries me, is when I gradually lower the power do it every 10 seconds or so, I do not continue fast because it can destabilize the Rig. If for a few moments it exceeds 76 degrees, the core system works, which then cancels itself when the temperature drops again and the power continues to drop to the minimum point I have set.
It would only be going down little by little and with 10-second jumps between them so as not to destabilize the rig, and for me it would already be perfect and leave the problem of forgotten heat, in fact heat is no longer a problem for me nor does it take double oc or anything Both systems simultaneously control the temperature excellently, my congratulations.
