Are u sure your power supply can handle your setup power draw ?
try each card one by one , if all working as a single card setup the cards are ok .
next try to connect 2 on the same time , start the miner , then 3  , then 4 , then 5 , then 6 , and see how many cards hashing without error
if you have 3-4 or 5 card working fine, then maybe you will need a bigger power supply ...
if you installed or updated drivers , uninstall them , remove completly ,  boot the pc with one card installed , install amd driver , reboot , turn off your pc , connect all cards , and be patient when you pc is booting up with all 6 card connected , windows need some time to assign the driver for each card , it sometimes take a few minutes your screen may will flashing , flickering during this time. wait  wait and wait dont start the miner or wattman , if you do your vga driver will crash

Crimson Edition 16.9.1

Which PSU? Did you uninstall drivers with DDU?

I would go for win 10 /64 bit , i have no luck to setup 6 card running trouble free under win 7 .
Win 10 is recognizing 6 cards without any additional settings , tweaks , all you need is install win 10 , then the newest amd driver , connect all the cards and you good to go
I would suggest  , install win 10 with 1 card connected to the mobo , after installation connect another 5 , and be patient when you pc is booting up with all 6 card connected , windows need some time to assign the driver for each card , it sometimes take a few minutes your screen may will flashing , flickering during this time.

Hi guys, can someone help me to make my rig working (6 x Asus Rx470 Strix 4gb)? As soon as I start mining, application crashes,getting error message = driver stop working. With 1 gpu, Claymore miner working normally. I tried different drivers, currently I have installed 16.9.1. (win 10-64 bit). Do I need to change .bat file or something? Does anyone have 6 rx470 card rig working as expected?

There is a start.bat file in the Claymore directory. This is called a batch file. It can be setup to run when your computer turns on. You need to do a couple things first.

1. Set your computer to automatically login to windows on reboot and not require username/password.

2. Make a shortcut to the claymore start.bat file and put it into the windows startup folder

You don't want to mine at ethpool. You won't get paid for weeks at a time because of the way they divide work.

At ethermine (run by the same people as ethpool), nanopool, or dwarfpool  you just need an ethereum wallet address. You don't have to signup to mine on those pools. You just need to specify your ethereum wallet address.  Follow the instructions in Claymore's readme.txt and replace his wallet address with your own.  You can use worker names like "worker1" "worker2" and "worker3" to identify your 3 different rigs so when you look at your stats on the pool you'll know which rig is which.

Hope this helps.
 

No, it isn't. But you can do this however in BIOS/Windows of your PC.

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. I'm well aware Radeon's are better for mining Ether, hence why I'm mining at over a Gh with 30+ cards already. I bought the 1070 as I needed a low powered ITX card to fit in my HTPC and serve double duty. As for mining some altcoin like LBRY I generally don't bother with as I mine Ether and hold with the expectation it'll rise in value over the next few years. These alt coins (and LBRY looks like something that's being done in Ethereum anyway) come and go and are mainly good if you are immediately trading. I'll keep my eye on it but for now I rather get another 30Mh out of this 1070 mining Ether. 

Identify that gpu is failing, probe it in ther rig o alone, change risers , connect directly to mobo.

Hello

What driver is recomended for rx 480?

Thanks

Is there a way to bypass the nvidia gpu detection at startup ? it's taking several seconds when there's only amd gpus

If you are having trouble understanding how to even connect a miner to a pool I would HIGHLY recommend that you seriously educate yourself and start with a super basic, maybe even cheap GPU that is on your current computer. There is alot more to this mining game than just "buy 15 gpus and sit back and make hella money".

For claymores miner I am not sure if there is an autostart feature, but you can make a .BAT file for your miner and program windows to run it on start up.

is it auto start Miner(Mining)
Means to say if my pc restarted or shutdown unexpectedly this miner start(restart) automatically and start mining?
Sorry for noob questions as i going to start Mining now

another noob question how to join a pool like ethpool or nanopool
I am going to setup 3 rigs with 5gpu's on each of them so my question is how to join the pool for each of coin this Miner supports

Thanks in advance

hi,

i have a little problem.
i have a rig with 6 gpu, 2 nitro r9 fury and 4 rx470.
my rig run under ethos last version. my psu is lepa 1700m platinium.

i use claymore but my rig crash when i start claymore with 6 gpu, but no problem when i use 5 gpu under claymore and 1 under ethos in same time.
the rig crash then it load the last dag. i have enabled the log, i show nothing. i must stop log and system log for production for save ssd space but i show nothing when it's enabled.
i have try "-gser 2" with 6 gpu, it crash.

what do you think ?

my config.txt :

Nvidia cards aren't as good for Ethereum costwise.  They do OK, but not for the cost.  They don't dual mine as well either.  Currently it is better to min LBRY with them.  I can get ~$50-55/month from a 470 with stock clocks, on Eth+Sia.  A 1060 3GB gets $40/month for similar cost.  However LBRY it will get ~$50/month.  So it is still profitable on them, just somewhat better to do LBRY right now, but it also depends on price/difficulty of that, which moves a lot.

There is a private miner for LBRY, but I don't like the idea of paying for miner, that also has a high devfee, with only slightly faster hashing, and wouldn't be worth it unless you had multiple nvidia rigs.  From the thread on it, it is also unstable at some pools due to poor network code. The dev isn't really friendly either.

OK spent a few hours tweaking power settings and overclocking / underclocking. I think I have pretty decent results for this tiny ITX Gigabyte 1070, what do you think?

Nevermind. I updated to the latest DDU verson, uninstalled previous driver in safe mode and installed the recommended drivers on the first page and now I'm mining away with my ITX Gigabyte 1070! Thanks for your help.

Seems to be working fine. Mining speeds are a little lower then expected at 24.5 - 25Mh. I haven't done any overclocking at all, this is just stock. I believe this card has Micron memory (according to GPU-Z) so I'm not sure if that's going to hold it back but I'll report back my hashes after overclocking.

Happy now!

Next project, flash 32 Radeon 480's with custom BIOS to bring up overall hash speeds 100+Mh. This will take a while heh. What's the recommended remote desktop software around here? TeamViewer?

Thanks for the reply. I didn't make any changes to my working batch file. I simply ran it after the anniversary update and it complained about OpenCL missing. I just ran DDU and reinstalling the Nvidia drivers recommended on the first page.

My batch file for reference looks like this:


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 us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal Mining_Address.MinerName -epsw x

try with just the basics first meaning just the pool/s configuration for mining.  If you didn't change the start.bat file just try that.  I have to 1060 3GB that I have used since he added NV support without issue.
  Also If you didn't do a clean install of your drivers for NVidia for windows 10 after the update it causes problems.

Hello Claymore. I've been using your miner for 30+ Radeon 480's and several 390's / Fury X's. Great software with very little problems. I have recommended your software to all my mining friends which they use. I hope you can help with a problem.

I purchased a single Geforce 1070 and cannot get it to mine. I'm running Windows 10 Anniversary update with the latest drivers. I've used the same working batch file that work with my Radeons. When I launch my batch file I get an error from EthDcrMiner64.exe (latest version 7) saying

"The program can't start because OpenCL.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I have verified OpenCL.dll exists on my Windows system. I tried copying opencl.dll locally to the root mining folder (with the EthDcrMiner exe) and I get an error stating "The application was unable to start correctly (0X000007B). Click OK to close the application."

After some Googling I read new Nivida drivers corrupt OpenCL.dll when overwriting the file. So tired repair instructions listed under this website https://appuals.com/repair-corrupt-opencl-dll-in-windows-10/ which did not help me.

I'm a total newbie with Nvidia Pascal mining, can you please help? I read through your readme documentation and I see nothing specific to Nvidia cards that I should be doing to get this working. I'm at a loss and need your help.

Thanks in advance!
