-ttli   reduce entire mining intensity (for all coins) automatically if GPU temperature is above specified value. For example, "-ttli 80" reduces mining intensity if GPU temperature is above 80C.
   You can see if intensity was reduced in detailed statistics ("s" key).
   You can also specify values for every card, for example "-ttli 80,85,80". You also should specify non-zero value for "-tt" option to enable this option.
   It is a good idea to set "-ttli" value higher than "-tt" value by 3-5C.
   NOTE: Check "KNOWN ISSUES" section. GPU indexes in temperature control sometimes don't match GPU indexes in mining!

...

-mvddc   set target GPU memory voltage, multiplied by 1000. For example, "-mvddc 1050" means 1.05V. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-mvddc 900,950,1000,970". Supports latest AMD 4xx cards only in Windows.

I'm thinking about using the above features to manually specify my voltages/clocks/fan/temps etc in Claymore instead of using MSI AB (for a variety of reasons). Does anyone else do this, and if so, do you have any advice on does and don'ts, or other recommendations for transferring your MSI AB controls over to the miner (can you specify fan curve; is the default one pretty good)? My complaint with MSI AB is that the option to set all values for similar cards seems to cause a system hang every now and then, even though I know the settings work when applied individually, and manually adjusting voltages also periodically causes a hang, even though it's nothing related to the actual setting, just changing it. I'm using all brand new hardware, top of the line. Also, while tuning the rig for a new coin, I sometimes get stuck in a crash loop and have to disconnect a card so AB won't try to auto-set a value during boot. Then I turn off auto-set, but forget to turn it back on, etc. Too much effort when it seems like hardcoding them into the miner config might be easier (after it's all setup).

If anyone has example config for a 7x470 4gb sapphire nitro+ oc rig, that would rule. I'm already aware it largely depends on the ASIC quality of each card.

Sory for newbie question, but I didn't find any thread to answer me Smiley.

I'm using claymore's miner for zcash mining and it's fastest for me (AMD 290x 3x and 290 2x).
It's the same for eth mining or is there any faster miner for ethereum.

Thanks.

I need help with Windows 10 the miner keeps stalling.  The memory clocks will go idle down to 300Mhz from the 2250Mhz.  Is there some setting that I need to change in Windows 10?  This is the first time running a Rig on Windows 10.

Almost certainly the problem is your cards are not stable with the memory set to 2250. Some of my cards won't do more than 2100 stable with 1750mhz memory strap.

I'd suggest dropping your memory speed to 2150 at least and testing that that is stable first before pushing it back up.

Thanks but I think I found the problem.. The PCIe link has moderate power saving on by default.. I turned it off in power options.. so far it's been pretty stable now.

Running with settings.

Memory MHz: 2245  (decided to not quite max it out)
mem voltage: 1000mv
Fan speed min: 3200 max: 3800  (prefer to keep cooler)
Temp: Max: 85C  Target: 78C
Power: -5%

I am running 109 MH/s with 4 RX 480.  Once I know that is stable will add my 5th Card into the mix I have 6 RX 480's.

why can't you mine eth with r9 270 2gb ?

@Claymore

In remote Miner manager(2.6V) how Do I change the text color? i can see that how to change the background but not text. Would like it the same as in the miner. Black background with green text

Do 2GB GPU's still work with eth mining?

My 2GB radeon r9 270 do not work with eth mining. I'm continuing mining with my 280x GPUS. Using 270 for zec mining for now.

Hi all,

I'm a newbie miner, I got involved in all this stuff two months ago while watching tutorials on youtube, and fact is, I quickly became addicted Smiley

I built my first Rig a month ago, here are the specs:
6x Sapphire RX470 4GB reference, modded timings for ETH - Crimson 16.6
H81 Pro BTC v2 - Intel Celeron G1850 - 8GB DDR3
EVGA 1000 P2
Windows 10 64 Home

The Rig runs fine mining ETH at 165 Mh/s (27.5/card) with 1100/1950 clocks and -30mV, power at wall 910W

Most of the time I watch/manage the rig remotely using ethman and Remote Desktop.

But sometimes, when testing settings that may lead to system instability, cards crashs, reboots, I have to connect to the rig directly, so I'm connecting my screen on GPU 0's HDMI port.

The problem I have in this configuration is Windows sometimes becomes very laggy, it happens I have to wait 10~20 seconds before the keyboard is responding or I can move a window

I found a tutorial explaining how to fix this for ethminer by adding the following parameter to the miner start command line:
 
Code:
 --cl-extragpu-mem 256 

I was wondering if there is an option in Claymore's dual Miner (or any other fix) that would allow to preserve a little amount of GPU memory for display

Thanks in advance for your kind help...



Never connect with remote desktop, remote desktop deactivate most 2D/3D acceleration on your main GPU (that's why you can't launch a game in RDP) and will make you crash or instable or slow down mining use VNC or teamviewer to keep that acceleration in place, also disconnect any real display because they eat up a bit of the GPU ressources making you hash less. (a few %)

I'm running 7.2 on 50 miners.  Is 7.4 any added benefit to upgrade all of them because i feel really lazy.

Hi, Claymore. I'm receive OpenCL error -34. What is this error and how I solve it. I'm use 7GPU rig on sapphire TX470 Nitro with MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and Win8. This error received always in different time. Rig can work 1-36 hours. Always, after this error was received, the miner was hangs down when miner trying restart.

Windows 10
5 XFX RX 480 8GB

My GPU 2 shows no hashing and finally crashes windows for not responding.

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool coinotron.com:3344 -ewal miner2 -esm 2 -epsw pass2 -dpool "http://sia-eu1.nanopool.org:9980/miner/[email protected]" -dcoin sia -allpools 1 -ethi 16,16,16,16,16

What is weird is the reading on the cards.

Current rig hashrate :  Mh/s
Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics @1236/300 Mhz (load 0%) | temp :56 | fan: 34 %
Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics @300/300 Mhz (load 0%) | temp :57 | fan: 0 %
Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics @300/300 Mhz (load 0%) | temp :55 | fan: 0 %
Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics @1236/2000 Mhz (load 0%) | temp :59 | fan: 35 %
Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics @1236/300 Mhz (load 0%) | temp :55 | fan: 0 %

Miner output :
18:13:50:464    13d4    GPU #4: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
18:13:50:465    13d4    GPU #4 recognized as Radeon RX 480

18:13:50:517    13d4    start building OpenCL program...

Any ideas why this is happening on Windows 10?

Anybody have tutorial to run rig with sapphire rx470 with linux ?



Hello

I have rx480. And I followed this tutorial.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwb67g4skGM

Then I lower the voltage with watman

And I have 31+ mh / s

I hope to help you.

Thanks, is this safe to use if dual mining?
Overclocking before modding I'm able to get around 26-27MH ETH and 400-480 on SIA or 25MH eth and 580 SIA
What volts and speeds you use?

I hope some can help me.. I have 2 rx480 cards currently hashing Zcash.. They're getting 180 Sols which is inline with what they are supposed to do.. I just tried switching over to mining ether instead on nanopool with claymore 7.4 and my 2 cards are only hashing at 22Mh/s.. From the research I've done, these cards should be doing 31 Mh/s. I'm using the following in my start file:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -mport 0 -ewal MYWALLET.WORKER -epsw x

Any help is appreciated.

The stock card/bios should give you 24-25Mh/s. You can modify/optimize your card's bios to reach 30-31Mh/s and also lower the wattage.

The hashrate can be enhanced by ctrl+c>ctrl+v timings in BIOS, what about the wattage? How can it be lowered?

Why does it say that using a local stratum proxy causes more stale shares ?
Is that true?

I have a few machines on my lan and don't want to setup every machine once i change a pool, that's what a proxy is for.

On the contrary it should reduce them especially if you have multiple miner on the same network.

Well yeah,that's logical for me too, but try to point claymore miner to a local address, and see for yourself what it says Smiley
