MY rx 480 stable at 29.5mhs at eth only but in duall mining is very poor i get only 25mhs eth + 250mhs sia
im use Rx 470 4gb + Rx 480 8gb , anyway to make the dualmining only in Rx 470? and my rx 480 running eth only ?
how to setting it ?

@claymore,
May you be implementing cryptonote as a dual mining option in the future?  I am aware of the draw backs of two memory intensive coins on the same card.

ETH+XMR will not work properly.

How do you disable the logfile?

can someone pls teach me how to configure my setup.

i have 3 gpu in 1 rig. one of it causes bsod while dual mining.
what i want to do is run the 2 gpu on dual mining while the 3rd gpu only mines eth

what should i do? pls help

NVM found the solution: -mode 1-2

Run 2 instances of miner.  You need to change monitor port on one to prevent error messages about it.  You could also set different -dcri for each card, making the 480 dcri really low.

You can put in the command line to only run Ethereum.

Read the first page on how to set it up but I think its like " -mode 1"

Edit: Yes, -mode 1 in the setup will have it run Ethereum Only.

Is it still profitable to dual mine sia and eth? My electric bill was 1100 last month and I'm really nervous about this months. I may go back to just eth and under volt some. Whats your opinion on this currently!!

you should still undervolt and dual mine

still no fancontrol with rx cards under linux ?
Please all linux users with rx cards waiting for this .. sure more important than colors in linux Wink

Be patient please. Now I'm working on updating Monero miner as promised (check its thread for details), it will take a couple of days. Then I will work on this task, as promised.

Hi Claymore,

When you have time do you think it's possible to implement this?

Hi Claymore,

I have an issue with DAG generation with some Hawaii cards that are extremely undervolted. The cards will mine perfectly without ever crashing, but at that low voltage they can't generate the initial DAG or the following DAG when it comes time to switch. They'll just crash while other cards in the system keep mining.

This can be solved by raising the voltage, obviously, but that means an extra 30-40w of power consumed on most of these cards which I'd like to avoid. Seems to me that there would possibly be two ways to fix this, while keeping the undervolts where they are.

1) Reduce the intensity of DAG generation? (Not sure this is possible...)

2) Add an option to the config file to lower GPU's core clock while generating the DAG? IE When mining use regular stable mining clock speed of 1100MHz, next DAG generation comes along drop to 900MHz while generating, when completed increase back to 1100MHz. Flags would be -cclock 1100 and -cclockdag 900.

Any thoughts? Hope this makes sense!

Thanks!

What voltage are you running your 290s at 1100?

v7.1:

- now "-etha 2" is set automatically for Linux and 4xx cards. You can change it by specifying "-etha" directly if necessary.
- if miner manages fans, it returns management back to drivers at closing.
- added text coloring in Linux version. You can use "-colors 0" option to disable it if necessary.
- several minor improvements and bug fixes.
- EthMan: added ability to start .bat file if miner has problems.
- EthMan: added support for CryptoNote miner.

Hi Claymore,

It seems that the -logfile option is not working anymore, or at least it is failing miserably in my rigs (Ubuntu 16.04 x64, 5xSapphire RX480 8GB each).

I'm getting the following message:

Code:
UNKNOWN OPTION -logfile
UNKNOWN OPTION /var/log/claymore.log

My config file, as follows:

Code:
-etha 2
-epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444
-ewal
-eworker worker1
-epsw x
-dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252
-dwal .worker1
-dpsw x
-wd 1
-r 1
-logfile /var/log/claymore.log


Filtering strings in version7.0 gives me this:

Code:
1 bigchirv@dharma:~/Desktop⟫ strings cl7/ethdcrminer64 | grep logfile                                                                                                                          
Missed option value after -logfile option
--logfile

But in 7.1, nada:

Code:
bigchirv@dharma:~/Desktop⟫ strings cl71/ethdcrminer64 | grep logfile                                                                                                                           
1 bigchirv@dharma:~/Desktop⟫

Any hints on this?

Thanks,

EDIT: Pasted an old config. Fixed.

After night have a lot of messages "Application EthDCRMiner64. blocked access to the graphics hardware" and 2 reboots/12Hrs. No overclock, no downvoltage, stock config.
Have some ideas?

A GOOD RULE-OF-THUMB--

Place no more than 2 GPU's powered risers on a single SATA cable.  Placing the powered riser for GPU 0 on a single SATA cable, along with a HDD or other low powered device, may also be good policy.       --scryptr

A BETTER RULE-OF-THUMB--

Don't power any 480s from any SATA cable.



SORRY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND--

The USB powered risers require power input from a SATA cable.  Are you suggesting the use of non-powered risers?  The results can be a fire hazard.  I was expecting that the proper PCIe connections be made with PCIe cables.  Using 2x Molex-to-1 PCIe adapters on anything bigger than a 750ti is also a fire hazard.  Using a Mollex-to-PCIe adapter on a 280X will result in melted cables and a resulting short circuit.       --scryptr
Perhaps they are suggesting don't use reference 480 with sata connector powering riser on the drivers before they changed it to draw more power from pcie connector.  Any 8 pin card should be fine, I run them on sata connectors (all mine have 8 pin connectors).  At launch they would draw up to about 80w from the slot, and the sata connectors are really only rated for ~50-55.  Molex is rated for 75.  After the bad press, they updated driver to make the VRMs draw less from socket.

I mean he means Molex cable instead of SATA cable should be used for "bigger" card, as I mentioned above

TO MAKE THINGS CLEAR--

ONLY 2 GPU cards should be connected to 1 SATA/MOLEX/PERIFERAL power cable extending from the PSU.  Some of these cables have all three types of connectors, but no more than two cards should be connected.  Which connector you use on the multi-connector periferal cable is up to you.  I have PSUs with "perif" labels, and PSUs with "SATA" lables, and the cables have multiple connectors which vary per PSU brand.  Light weight cards like the 750ti often come with Molex-to-PCIe adapters thaat should not be used with more power-hungry cards.  The little adapters melt and short out.

No warnings come with the adapters, and it is frightening to watch a 280X melt through an adapter and begin to cause a fire.  Non-powered risers pose the same hazard.       --scryptr

Still more profitable to mine both.
