Which Pcie Riser is better?

Much better. 60 CM USB cable is about 23.6 inches. Plenty of length so you can spread your GPUs apart. They'll get better airflow.

Not to mention those ribbon cables are shady. They're put together poorly. The USB riser cards are more robust.

And you didn't ask but there is a cheaper USB riser on the bottom left in the similar product section. It's the $4.09. It is version 1. The one you are linking to is version 1.4 (you can actually see it written on the x16 board.) Version 1 only has 2 capacitors. Version 1.4 has 3 capacitors. Version 1 has the USB on one side and power on the other. Version 1.4 has them side by side on a wider circuit board. This makes the bottom flat so you can support the back of the gpu with a piece of wood. I think the one you've linked to is the right one for several reasons. Definitely worth an extra 20 cents each. Don't try to save the money.

Ensure that its the USB3 version (white USB cable) - humble lessons learnt from me.

also buy only from good rated seller. last month i received risers working, but was 30cm while i ordered 60cm

Any idea why this happens every time after several minutes of opened app? Is the huge number of rigs a problem (350)? I have to kill process with Task Manager every time. Other groups with less rigs don't have this problem..

I had this same memory error happen with my 4 rigs. Error happens about once a week. Have not seen the error yet after upgrading to 5.0

350 rigs?

Wow wow wee - how many GHs total do you have?

350 rigs is pretty amazing.

Did the same happen with fewer? At what point did it start crashing?

Also curious about the rigs. Are they multigpu rigs used only for mining, or is it single card machines?

I did not test Remote Manager with 350 records. Well, now I will try it.

guys, do you know how can i change the mining mode in the command line, not in the config.txt where should i put the command into the line? my miner starts always in mode 1....

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xccb701a1f4accbb4b04c51f3699c3414c4ef7744.rig2 -epsw x -ethi 16

read readme.txt there are sample usage for each combination mining mode

Already read it. But it still doenst work as described there. Miner starts in ETH only mode...always. i tried to use config and it starts in dual mode but cant find the login data for sia nanopool...

i had same issue i noticed there is a space before "-dpool" so ensure you did not press "Enter" after "-ethi 16"

worked well for me thx. though needed to ad -dcoin command into the line

now ETH rates are lower as before dual mining but i think its ok?!

i tried eth/sia on 2x380 and 1x370 it drops my eth from 56 to 45 as i remember 380 dropped from 21MHs to 16.5 so i back mining only eth so you may try change intensty. im not sure (i had 45 eth and 700 sia)

hi... i try to do dual mining with 4xR9 280X and 1xR9 280 .im new on this so i cant say if hashrate for dcr is normal (1373.2) but for eth is low for some reason (91.5).
in detail there is the following hashes 16.6-17.2-19.5-18.5-19.5.
my command is ./ethdcrminer64 -epool eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal xxxxxxxx -epsw x -esm 0 -dpool stratum+http://dcr.maxminers.net:7728 -dwal xxx.xx -dpsw 1 -tt -80 -tstop 85
any suggestions ? do i have something wrong on command ?

thnx in advance

ps:1)i use ubuntu 14 lts
2) i use all the 5 "export" commands

no1 can help on this ?? Embarrassed

Did you try to reduce DCR intensity (with + and - keys)? Can help on weaker cards like 270, 380, etc., maybe the same for these...

thnx for answer ... i do the test with -15 intensity on dcr but the results was -50% down the hash of dcr but nothing on eth (eth same at 91+ ,dcr 668+) so i stay with default values for now.i buyed my GPUs second hand so maybe i cant get more hash on them on any command Grin

or maybe will try another Os in the future.i also wana try the dual eth/sia thing. can some1 give me the full command fir that ?

So this is my dual Eth/Sia config.

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x70c06E09AE5A2b8ECa5863C68b725adadCefF5cb.worker1 -epsw x -dpool http://sia-us-east1.nanopool.org:9980/miner/header?address=a124a4d27961737e104e67551298844133ddbc0444b1cd585aa8243dfed1c4f8355ba6fc166e -dcoin sia

I'm getting about 20MH/s Eth and 300MH/s Sia with a light overclock on an R9 285, and same rates on an R9 380. So exactly the same as my Decred hashrates on both.

One problem, though... Every few seconds when dual mining eth/sia, my system locks up, and it seems worse when anything visual happens. I'll turn off aero to see if it helps at all, so we'll see... Anyone else have that issue?

EDIT: Disabling aero seemed to do the trick, though I haven't tried streaming video or anything, which I was able to do quite well while mining Eth/Decred... Anyway, Thanks claymore for another awesome addition to your already incredible dual miner.

OC'd R9 380 ITXs do around 23mh +dcr/sia

Funny thing.. R9 380X(more expensive too) seems to take ETH badly... 20mh and less if u play with the oc.

For some reason, I'm ending up with lower hashrates than a lot of others. Although I've heard a lot of reports about about 20MH/s per 380, so I'm not SO hung up on that. The part that bothers me is only 12 MH/s on my R9 270's. I was getting 11MH/s with them on 14.9 WHQL, and now I updated to 15.201 WHQL and got my current rates. Previously my 285 was doing under 15MH/s, and I only used 15.201 because it came with my Asus 380 and it seemed to help across the board. Still a bit frustrating, though lol. I couldn't get 15.12, or even the newest drivers for RX 480 to run. All show "no cards in list", and some catastrophic error in a log file. At least I found something that mostly works for now. :/
