So from what Ive read, Watchdog is supposed to shutdown the miner when a GPU or OpenCl call fails correct? If so, I cannot seem to get it to work. I have kept it enabled, but every once and awhile, it will hang and I have to hit ctrl+c which then shows the message that an opencl call failed and the miner is restarted. Am I missing something or is this just how it is done?
My miner restarts from time to time, but freezez only once for now (when I have installed Trixx + btw it shows me only inboard card, np riser card)
Confirmed, today after reboot Windows 10 closed v4.5 (on one rig it even removed .exe). I disabled "Windows Update" service in past, but it didn't help, Windows downloaded some update anyway. Damn, how to stop it? It seems I can disable all services and it still downloads all that it wants.
just move to Linux :-)
See my edited questions above. Would love to see how everyone's experience is with Linux. Trying to find best stability if I'm going to scale more than 100+ GPUs.
Or disable the garbage windows defender and windows update =).
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.html5. 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.
You da man. I disabled Windows Update but Defender caught me off guard as many today. The 6GPU trick was what I wanted Linux for but since you reference another method, that is just pure awesomeness! Now I will just stick with Windows for now. Currently I'm only mining Eth, is it even worth mining Decred at the expense of hottest GPU and more power consumed?
@adamvp - There's no need to waste money on more than 4GB of RAM. My rig performed the same with 4, 8 or 16GB of RAM for 5x R9 390 cards. So I just split my RAM for 4 rigs instead.
Edit - Actually I just read the 6GPU trick. That's not my issue. My issue is that Windows won't boot or be able to see the screen with the 6GPU in. I've been told to make 6GPU to work will required a headless option and Linux. Anyone got it to work with Windows 10 with the ASR H81 BTC pro board?
I asked about virtual memory - with 4gb I had problems, especially when I used stratum proxy....
I make work 6gpu on ASRock B85 on Windows 10 without any mod etc I had only have to replace cards few times because was only 5visible but at last windows saw all 6.. Now I try to migrate to Ubuntu so
Last thing i s that anyone here could tell me how to install ADL on ubuntu server?
