And it seems I need to return option to close miner instead of stopping one GPU because if you did not correct ordering it can cause bad things.

Or disable cards one by one until no more tempalarm, then flag faulty one and enable others.

I don't see any ways to implement it properly:
1. GPU temp can reach stop threshold and then become a bit less.
2. Several GPUs can reach threshold at the same time.
3. It will take a lot of time to detect cards for system with many GPUs.

Better way is to create some special mode to detect "-di " values which will correct GPU order. For example, you press "d" button, miner stops mining, and loads every card one by one, check temps and understands its order. In a couple of minutes after checking all GPUs miner shows you what "-di" value you must use. This way it will also fix issue with incorrect GPU indexes in temperature/fan stats that miner displays.
Another option is to check if GPU is still overheated in 30 seconds after disabling mining on it, such behaviour means that we disabled wrong card and entire miner will be closed.


Assuming you can see which number went off limit, u monitor this same number when turning cards off. Disable, wait 5sec, if temp dont drop 5 degrees enable, take next.

@Claymore any luck with the proxy from GenEthOS?
Feel free to use mine to test if you wish. I sent you a pm with the details.

Amazing miner, couldn't be more easier, here is demonstration how i change pool with a couple clicks on 7 rigs placed in 4 different locations:)

Hi, Claymore, thanks for the new v.4.4.
I use parametr -tstop.
But stop minning other GPU.

Example:
Use 4GPU
-tstop 80,80,80,80

GPU0 t=67, GPU1 t=68, GPU2 t=67, GPU3 t=80
GPU3 t=80 not minning stopped, stopped GPU0 t=67.

Maybe need to do the right sort GPU?

Please check "KNOWN ISSUES" section of readme or OP. Anyway, I will add a note for "-tstop" option description in readme. And it seems I need to return option to close miner instead of stopping one GPU because if you did not correct ordering it can cause bad things.

for some reason I'm only getting 1.5 mh/s on my r9 270x, my 7990 is getting 20.3 mhs per core for a total of 40.5ish

@claymore:

i cannot run with a 6th gpu, as far as i found out it: has to be a error in the code
not not sure but i guess your miner is based on one of them open source miners?
maybe its their code error...

well i coulnt change ubuntu language for some reason but im pretty sure its:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

ubuntu doesnt write core file by delaut unless you enable it with
ulimit -c unlimited

so i was able to grab the core file.
not sure if i can post it publicly.. mind if i send you a pm with it ?

ill also try and talk to the ethereum guys since it happens on all miners

one thing i could try is ubuntu 14!? im using 15.10
bigger swap?




I would not be running more than 2 gpu from that psu it has a max rating of 62amps on the 12v rail. 3 gpu may well be drawing more than 62amp depending on model and clocks etc.

thanks i didnt consider this.. this may be the reason why 6 gpu dont work and 5 do on my h61!?

but 5 gpu, 4 riser i only draw 883w ..

this is my gpu
http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=B520A2A6-4D37-4499-9584-B6BE8823AAC0&lang=eng
no mentions of amps on the 12v rail

Googling around suggest a 280x (same as 380x) draws upto 38 amps, the technical specs on ur 750w psu say the 12v rail is rated for 62 amps, if it is true a 280x draws upto 38 amps u could already be close to or exceeding this with just 2 gpu connected and nothing else.


i found a nice article about Power requirements for graphics cards
https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards

Quote
AMD's new Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 have been added to the list. These two new cards are basically the next generation up from the 5750 and 5770, and offer performance close to the existing 5850 and 5870.

For a system under load the following power consumption figures are given:

1X 6850 = 278W /12 = 23.2A
2X 6850 = 393W /12 = 32.8A

1X 6870 = 295W /12 = 24.6A
2X 6870 = 421W /12 = 35.1A

That is based on a system with an X58 based motherboard, Core i7 965 @ 3750 MHz and 6144 MB (3x 2048 MB) Corsair DDR3 RAM  @ 1500 MHz.


which means the amps dont doubble on the 12v rail if you use 2 or more gpus, looking at this scale each additional card would be around 10 amps
with 60 amps on the 12v you could power 5-6 cards, and thats only one psu with 60 amps, 3 gpus shouldnt be a problem even with cpu and mb added.

Bizarre. I get 20 mh/s with 1080/1500 but 21 mh/s with 1080/1700.

I also wouldn't be too sure about Eth algo not bothering memory, on my 290x with memory at 1250mhz I start to saturate the memory controller with GPU at around 1200mhz. If I raise the GPU more I have to raise the memory clock also to get all the benefit of the GPU increase.

Try mem speeds lower than 1250.

Yes I know mem controller will be overloaded but I have seen some interesting results under 1250. Just need to verify them.

@Claymore : Thanks for the cool new featues.

Question: -tstop option. Is there a timer after the miner reenable stopped gpus ? Or has the rig/miner to be restarted.

There is no timer. Overheating GPU is dangerous, so miner stops mining on that GPU until restart.

I'm a bit late to the party but finally started using this miner.
Mining on nanopool without any issues using this command but can't figure out why I get a message "no pool specified for decred" upon startup and it goes to mode 1 (only mining ether).
I use this command line:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal -epsw x  -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal .rig1 -dpsw x 
Would really appreciate if anyone can help me figure out why I can't dual mine.
Thanks in advance.

You cannot get "no pool specified for decred" with this command line. You can test my command line to confirm that it works, then find error in your command line:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F -epsw x  -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal RedHex.rig1 -dpsw x

Your command line works perfectly so I'm assuming the issue is how I set up my supernova account.
Just to make sure, "RedHex" should be my username then "." followed by worker name which in your case is "rig1"
When creating a worker in supernova do I have to set my password as "x" or can it be anything I chose?
Thanks for your help ... I'm now pretty sure it's how my supernova account is setup.


Probably it is not account. Check your bat file, it seems your command line takes two lines. Entire command line must be on same line. No enters.

I found increasing RAM clock speed on my 7950s and 7970 increased hashrate a lot!

I can't really imagine that...

My 280X got 21 MHs at 1600 mem clock and got 21,5 at 600 mem clock... it even got more with lower mem clock - eth algo doesn't even bother the memory.

Bizarre. I get 20 mh/s with 1080/1500 but 21 mh/s with 1080/1700.

Dear boys & girls! Please do not post pics with biried pins here. It is not miner issue. It is your misunderstanding of basic physic principles. Read something about current and material's resistance. 1 more tip - if you want your second PSU gives some more power on 12 V line - just load his 5V bus - 20-25 Watt just enough. Read ATX specs and you understand why it comes.

Mr Claymore. Sorry for OT, your miner is really awesome. Continue using it enjoying)

Does not work on mail notification, and does not work correctly Statistics reported section (shows zero heshreyt) on the bullet http://eth.nanopool.org . The only problem with "Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred AMD GPU Miner", classic miner with no problems.
Please fix.

Classic miner works via HTTP. My miner works via Stratum. Can anyone confirm that Nanopool shows "Reported Hashrate" if Stratum is used with ethminer+eth-proxy or with other proxy?
I was unable to make it work.
Same thing with email notification, it works for HTTP mode, but what about Stratum mode? On their help page I see info about email notification for HTTP mode, but no word about it in Stratum mode.
If they don't support "reported hashrate" and email notifications for Stratum, it is the problem of nanopool. Mining Ethereum via HTTP is not a good idea. May be you should contact nanopool support and ask them about it?
using Dwarfpools v4 proxy it will show reported hashrate with ethminer sorry can`t say forsure on the email however dwarfpools works. One note I found the proxy stalls after some time on nanopool and not sure why yet.
