1. I use same code for all my recent miners: ZEC, ETH, CN. So this problem is not related to this miner only.
2. This problem is related to buggy drivers. Miner sets fan speed but drivers sets some different speed. Then miner reads current fan speed and drivers report wrong speed. Therefore miner calculates wrong new speed, drivers set it wrong again, it increases error in speeds even more and so on.
As far as I remember, I saw at least two reports that this problem is solved in some drivers version. Need to find these messages. Also I will check it on latest drivers, if AMD still has this problem may be I can find some new workaround.
You can try to set static fan speed, for example, "-tt -50". And see what speed was set.

are you working on an update to CryptoNote GPU miner.. i.e. more speed?

1. I didn't have tested all of them, but I have the same problem with your EthMiner.
2. In the log it's showing GPU0 and GPU6 and the stats are showing GPU0 und GPU1. I've read about problems with the enumeration of the devices in the faq. Do I need to set the value for the 1st and 7th GPU (-tt 75,00,00,00,00,00,70) or only for the 1st and 2nd (-tt 75,70) and you're mapping it internally from 2 to 6?

I've tried to set -tt -50 but there was no effect (it's cooler because I've started it with -li 1):
GPU0 t=66C fan=46%, GPU1 t=65C fan=27%

I'm using the 16.12.2.2-Jan3 driver.

I've also tested sgminer with "--temp-target 77 --auto-fan" with the same machine,card & driver and there it's working fine after some "learning"-time:
GPU 0:  74.0C 2449RPM
GPU 1:  74.0C 1308RPM

unfortunately i had fan issue with all of 16.11.3 , 11.4 and 11.5 so does with all previous , it happened with all miners , Wolfs , SG and Claymors , only way i was able to get rid of this annoyance is to switch to ubuntu and use amdgpu drivers , no issues there

Hello claymore,

something seems to be wrong with the -tt parameter. I'm using a 380 and a 470 in the same machine. I'm trying to set fan-speeds with -tt 77,70 to avoid the 100% fan-bug of the 470, but it's not working.

I've tried:
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -li 1 -a 2 -tt 75
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -li 1 -a 2 -tt 75,70
but the temperatures of the second card is always too high. It seems that you're trying to set it, but it doesn't work:



Use driver crimson 16.11.3   it doesnt have the fan bug  im running 6 rx470 with it   also you can use modded bios with this driver  also running 2x7950 with this driver  with no problems

you do something wrong because my sapphire elpida 470 does 755mh average

What memory, what setting, what memory straps, what is power consumption?
I can also get 790 hash from RX480 with samsung memory with 2150 memory clock and +30 power settings. And power consumption is 150w per card. Is it worth it? +80 hash with +50w extra power per card? +300extra watts per rig. 4260 hash @ 670w or  4740 hash @ 970w. ca +10% hashrate and +30% power consumption.


How do u get 100watt from the wall per card? I easily get 795 hash at 150w from the wall. But I want 100w... Even if with standard card BIOS at 640 hs it uses 150 from wall. Please share me your settings to get to 100w. What miner?


What card do You have? 11260-09-20G ?

I have 11260-01 . Does this matter for the settings ?

And what memory does card(s) have? Elpida, samsung, hynix?

Where can I see that ?

With my xfx rx470 i get 710h at 100W from wall wth 1375 straps 1074/1925 @ 886mV. This is with zalman zm700tx psu which isn't that great when it comes to efficiency.

Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ 4GB 11260-09-20G   
 with elpida memory:
gpu1100 / mem1925 - memory strap 1425 timings - 685 hash XMR - -96/-50 Afterburner - 90W per card - 600W per rig from wall ( 6 cards )

Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ 4GB 11260-09-20G   
 with samsung memory:
gpu1100 / mem2000 - memory stap 1625 timings - 712 hash XMR - -66/-40 Afterburner - 100W per card - 670W per rig from wall ( 6 cards )

Next week I will try MSI RX480 8GB cards.


hey guys,

i have 6 saphire rx 480 nitro + 8g oc in my first rig but i had to wait ages before i could get those cards in belgium...

i want to build a second rig and want to use MSI RADEON RX 480 GAMING X 8G this time , are these cards as good as the saphires ??
and is there a difference in mining speed between 4Giga and 8Giga versions?

thx



I have 6 of the 8GB versions and have tested the 4GB.

Stock settings 4GB hash at ~600, 8GB hash at ~640. The MSI gaming x IMO have the best fans. So quiet and tremendous cooling. Definitely recommend.

Nice! DID you try to tweak it higher then 600?

No. I can't even tweak the 8GB versions. Honestly, when I try to adjust settings, the rig crashes. And I've tried AB and Wattman. I can OC with Eth no problem. I'm still trying to figure out if it's my settings, or Claymore's software it self.  For RX cards, it just gets by. This miner needs an update badly.

Hmm it should be faster with flashing the BIOS. How much power your rig takes from the wall,?

Currently I'm pulling ~900w with some undervolting.  May I ask if you could link the bios flash for XMR? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hey guys, just build a piece of my mining rig. I got 1 Rx 480 nitro + 8giga sapphire card up and running. Did a BIOS reflash of the 1750 timings to 2000 and for the rest no overclocking of the core speed. I get 708hz stable but I expected 750 minimum. My monitor is connected to the HDMI port...

How can I go faster ? Should I take the 1200 timing straps?

Got R9 290 (Elpida memory) for a test. Gets around 400h/s on nicehash, the same on minergate. I'd say I expected better hashrate. PS 450W, Intel Core CPU, win7 SP1, 8Gb RAM, driver version 21.19.407.0. Thing is the card while mining is used simultaneously with internal Intel graphics that outputs the graphics (connected to the monitor, whereas R9 is not connected).

Is it the normal hashrate that is to be expected or too low? Please, answer this

it says GPU recognised as Radeon 270/270x 2 Mb. Could you kindly give me some command line parameters (not intended to use it at its fullest, I use low power usage -a 2 parameter which yields around 380 h/s)

Edited: oh, that was 9.3, but still too low. Gotta try 9.7.
