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.

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

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

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.

good tip. I am trying to use Molex first, especially with old high power consumption cards,
sata only with <150W cards



Small error in Linux version .tar:

And last.. (but it is not necessary miner fault) now I can't close miner by hitting ctrl+c in mobaXterm

Any real difference between etha 1 and etha 2 for rx470 ?  using etha 1 and not seeing much incorrect shares.  0 out of 1900 so far.

The difference is very, very small. I get about 0.1% incorrect shares on -etha 0 and 1. On -etha 2 it must be even less, but -etha 2 is a bit slower.
But for Linux and gpu-pro drivers if you don't set -etha 2, you will see high CPU load because of a lot of system logging about GPU segfaults.

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!

Option #1 is better, PM me and in a day I will send you a version for tests.

How to set this settings in Claymore?

Applies only to pools and solo miners, not to pool miners

Any idea as to why I would be getting rejects all of the sudden? When it was Epoc 74 and 75, I never got a single reject with my 2x AMD 480s.

Now that Epoc 76 is here, my hashrate has dropped by 0.1 MHs per card ( expected) and I am now getting rejects. It is still a very very low percentage. This morning it was 5,000 accepted shares and 46 rejected.

"-etha 2" will help you. Within 24 hours I will release an update, this option will be set automatically on Linux+gpupro.

-etha 2  reduce hash rate 0,2Mh on each RX480 card - 1Mh in 5 card rig.

That's the price we have to pay for Linux+gpupro drivers. Better use Windows.

Guys I am trying to set up the following rig:

Asrock H81 pro btc
16 gb ram DDR3
6 x XFX RX480 8gb
6 x PCI 1x 16
SSD external memory
Intel Pentium G3260
1200 w PSU
WIN 10 64 bit

I would like to install the latest version of Claymore's dual miner on it, the problem is that the PC can not even run the 6 GPU's all the same time apparently, without anything installed on it yet, but Windows (I am helping which is setting it up and we are about 2000 miles far from each other, so this doesn't help).

Windows starts normally if only 3 GPUs are connected, but a black screen will come off if we try to connect all the 6 GPU's.

Any idea?

Also which drivers would you recommend for the XFX RX480 8gb? Is the latest crimson driver ok?

Any help would be deeply appreciated, thank you!
 
   Try like separate the main GPU razer with only one SATA, HDD + 1 gpu - sata, 2x gpu-sata, 2x gpu-sata

Did you power the molex connector on the ASrock mobo?

For multi GPU setup, you need this for extra power going to the GPUs in addition to powered USB risers.

Plus... you also need to set minimum 16GB virtual windows memory.
I don't know why lots of people think you need to power the molex on mobo.  If using the 1x-16x powered USB risers, they are completely unnecessary.  The risers are all powered, there is 0.00000w going through the slots on the motherboard.  The molex on mobo are for if you are using non powered risers.  I have that board, and it will run fine with 6 cards, nothing plugged into mobo.

Bios throws error telling you to plug in the 4-pin molex power on the motherboard.
You can tell it to not show that message.  I am currently mining with that board with 5 cards, all powered risers, no molex plugged into the board.
