Topic: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux) - page 1274. (Read 6590757 times)

I did something similar to this, without any Comodo AV, and my rigs work flawlessly.

But I guess we'll have to change something in our setups if we want to use the new R9 480 GPU, right?

I mean, will this new GPU work under the 15.12 drivers? I'm assuming we'll have to install the latest AMD drivers in order to take advantage of the new Polaris stuff.

I'm planning on buying some as soon as they are available but I wonder how long will it take for our miners to be fully optimized for the new architecture.

@Claymore: How will your miner perform with this new GPU? Any comments on this?

For stress free mining 24/7, do the following:

1. Install Windows 7 x64
2. Disable windows defender and windows update
3. Install 15.12 drivers
4. Run 6x GPU mod if needed from https://lbr.id.lv/6xgpu_mod/6xGPU_mod.html
5. Install free Comodo Anti-Virus (Optional)
6. Disable all automatic power options for sleep/hibernate for a certain amount of time. (To make sure computer stays on 24/7)
7. Increase pagefile to 16gb.
8. Run Claymore Dual Mining and configure to your options.
9. Grab a beer and chill
10. Profit

That's basically it, unless you use your computer for other things besides mining, but if it's just for mining only, no need for all the other junk to be on there.


Above looks best solution to me....  cheers

I have that exact board running 6 gpu in win 10. Did you manage to get this to work.. I use powered risers and power to the two molex on the mobo.  Then my monitor is connected to the 1st full 16x slot card.  I did however once i got it setup hook a headless to it so that it would boot w/o monitor but that was only after i spent a few days tweaking it..

Sorry if you have already discussed, someone has a step by step guide to install claymore in ubuntu?

Great, did not notice it before!

Right now devfee is not card-related, it is either 36 or 72 seconds. With your approach, if some cards mine DCR and some not, time must be recalculated and it will be between 36 and 72 seconds. Ok, I'm going to do it, but it will require more time to implement it.

Yea thats why I suggested to have a thereshold value for -dcri so people can adjust it depending on their own electricity costs/profitability.

For example if you calculate that you need at least -dcri 30 for it to cover the extra 1 % then you would set -dcri changing between 30-50 or something. When your card couldnt keep the temperature setting even at -dcri 30 it would then change to the 1 % ether only mode.

f

But dual mode   costs 2percent fee instead of 1% so if lowered dcri will give decresese earning increase it could be unprofitable..

I'm testing what approach is more effective, for now it looks lowering -dcri automatically is better, so probably I will select it instead of disabling DCR mining at all. An update will be available in 1-2 days.

When can we, exactly  expect temperature dependent eth mode/eth+dcri mode  switching?

v4.5 has this feature

Already done, set checkbox on "Options" tab.

Claymore, could you please add an option to show Hashrate for individual cards in monitoring please? It helps to spot a problem tremendously!

20 mhs at 1100 mhz.

not using wine, just grabbed the linux version and copied it to my home folder.

i have 2 sapphire r9390s, one in win7, one on ubuntu. they hash the same.

Hi

Failover 4 means you are mining on fourth pool address you entered (in epools.txt)
meaning it had problem connecting to main address as well as on the two first servers in epool.txt

Good ideas, I will check them in details.

Could you make it so that it doesnt necessarily switch to ether only but adjusts the -dcri lower. My cards have about 50W and 5-10 degrees difference depending on the weather between -dcri 0 and 50. It could work similarly to the -tt value. For example if I put -tt 70 and -dcris 0-50 and -dcrit 75 it would first run the fans at 100% from 70 till the temperature gets over 75 and then it would start adjusting -dcri between 0-50 to try to keep the temperature at max 75 just like the fan tries to keep it at 70.

Also it could be a good idea to implement a max fan speed value. I like the -tt feature because it keeps the fan speed optimal at wanted temperature but I don't really like running the fans at 100% even though the cards get over the "wanted" value. I set the wanted value below allowed temperatures just to keep the cards cool if easily possible but I still dont want to shorten the fans life by running them at 100% if not necessary.

For example at cool days my cards can stay at 70 degrees with <50% fan speed but on hot days they need 100% to keep them at 70. If I set -tt to 70 the fans run a lot of the time at 100% when they could run with 80% at 75 degrees. On the other hand if I change the -tt to 75 I let the cards get hotter on chilly days without the need for it. I don't really know how much the hotness or fan speeds shorten the cards/fans life but I can imagine that the lower they both run the better it is. I prefer running the cards cooler but when the fans get over 80% I feel they are overworking.

As another example, its sometimes +25 when the sun is shining and it gets really hot inside while at nights it is +5 and really chilly inside. I could run dual mining most of the time even at summer and its a shame to loose the free extra profits but its too much hassle to keep changing it manually on many rigs depending on the weather. Usually I just check the weather forecast few days into the future and go by that.

On 7990 miner see 1 GPU Temp.

Devil 13 only one gpu shows a temp & fan reading
GPU0 t=0C fan=0%, GPU1 t=74C fan=84%

My miner says: "New job from coinotron.com:3344 . What it means ? I assume that something is wrong. What should I do, please?
