I have 3 GPUs (one Vega 64, two RX 580s) and I can only consistently keep the vega 64 and one RX580 connected after reboots.  I've checked the risers (they appear to be good).  I saw on youtube that sometimes the video cards don't work without them thinking that they have a video card attached so I have two monitors (or I can use the HDMI plugin that fakes a monitor).  I have an older MOBO that should have the appropriate requirements but as I mentioned earlier, sometime I can get the rig to see the third card but sometimes I can't. 

Any suggestions?

Re: Claymore Bugs

I have a machine running v10.5 that I just installed an RX570 and 580 card in. At start it says it sees two cards then only uses one of them. Here are the log messages what is wrong?  No conflicts in Device Manager on Win 10-64.

Hi all.
I have win10 64bit,claymore v10,06 , motherboard asus v7 exp., 8gb ram,one asus strix gtx970 4gb oc. When I turn on claymore i have only 2,699 Mh/s. I am using ethermine.org. Is the graphics card so bat or badly set up? I downloaded 352.xx beta driver old but stil the same. PLS help thx


any help for me?

Maybe your bios setup is not good ?
Tray to find drivers from August 23, and Claymore 10.02
Also Virtual memory need to be at least 16 gig

Be advised that NVIDIA cards do not use August 23 blockchaine drivers, the last is for AMD. Also no one is able to biosmod NVIDIA bios cause it is encrypted. I am getting better results with GTX970, ranging from 6 to 23 MH without obvious reason :-( so the card is rather tricky to setup.
Check you compute switch in driver settings, may help a bit.

Thank you for your reply. I made. It's still the same. Do I need to set all my files?(config,epools,dpools,start). When do I have to set them up? Do I have to set them all?

You can see in the graphic that the single card hit a 36MH/s effective rate in the middle of that consistent 20MH/s+ run.
It was luck, your GPU found more shares during a 10-minute interval than it usually does.

is this normal ?
All the cards are the same rx580, maximum shares 125 min 94 in one card and 99 in one more.

ETH - Total Speed: 376.782 Mh/s, Total Shares: 1473(119+115+104+116+120+121+113+104+121+94+99+122+125), Rejected: 1(0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+1+0+0+0+0), Time: 05:04
Such variance would be normal for small time frames - 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, but the longer time you capture, the smoother the total share count should be.
PM me with your Claymore log (upload it on some file storage). I will try to parse and check if there are constant hashrate drops on your 10th GPU.

Hi all,

I use param "-tt -65" to set static fanspeed 65% but my vga start fan only when temperature's over 60 degrees, and idling 55 degrees, I think it's not good...

So how to config static fanspeed and don't need to care about temperature?? thank you  Huh
Somebody help me plz  Embarrassed Embarrassed

you can set -fanmin or -fanmax to set minimum/maximum speed of your fans, however ensure that the miner manages your GPU settings, if not use MSI AB or other tools. Also if your GPU is NVIDIA this command wont work.



Actually if you have AMD Polaris you are better off using internal fan/temp control, it seems to be smoother than anything claymore does, also requires 0 attention
Just set GPU target temp to 70C using overdriven tool and also clocks and volts while you are at it.Smiley

Hello Guys,

I got a rig with 7 GTX 1070, who founds which version of nvidia driver is more stable with claymore 10.6 in solo mining ?


Found problems with nvidia driver 788.13 when overclocking to this conf:

mem +544
power limit 50
fan speed left on 50 to keep cool the cards , (aprox temp is 41-49)
core clock 0


My rig conf

ASrock H110 BTC pro + (All disabled COM ports, serial ports, audio onboard, HDMI audio, ALL PCIe on Gen 2 )
8 GB RAM DDR4 ( 2 x 4 GB )
SSD 180 GB
7 x GTX 1070 Zotac Amp Extreme

Windows 10 pro latest updates and claymore fails and

Event log said nvlddmkmk display stopping responding and have a successful recovery. And sometimes I got bluescreen and cold restarts and windows say the nvidia cause the error.

Please some expert guy can gave me a tip ?

Sir, i'm having this error, although i've already set my virtual memory minimum at 16000MB and maximum at 25000MB, turn off windows update and defender, not OC anything. But it keep telling me this:
-CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.
-GPU 0, CUDA error 11 - cannot write buffer for DAG.
Would you mind suggest me someway to fix it? Thank you.

from my perspective this is a known issue that claymore miner having with nvidia cards
I have some 1060 that can start doing this on initialization.
Only reboot helps, sometimes several reboots may be required...

And tell us what card.


Still, about -dcri in single mode?

In my case -dcri set to 6-7 increase hashspeed by 1MHs up to 30.5 on 570's

Odd one for me, a rookie: I am trying to tune my replacement 6GB GTX1060 in my original rig, which started life as an HP Pavilion 580-023w for $495.  The 3GB graphics card was giving me fits, so I replaced it with a Gigabyte Mini ITX "OC" 6GB version.

Right out of the box it gets 14.9-15.3MH/sec but I was able to tune it to give me 20.8-21MH/sec (see graphic below) consistently for 10 hours yesterday, but can't for the life of me figure out what I did - nor can I reproduce it.  It's back to the consistent 15.4MH/sec I had right after setting the pretty normal OC values.

You can see in the graphic that the single card hit a 36MH/s effective rate in the middle of that consistent 20MH/s+ run.

I double-checked the power supply and my Kill-a-Watt meter thinking something was holding it back, but - nada.

Any ideas from the experienced miners?  I was getting 19-20MH/s from my 3GB card before I swapped them, and now it seems unable to stick with it.  It boots, but it won't stay online, the fans kick into high gear after a few seconds of the miner running and the screen blanks out.



(what's the trick to posting imbedded graphics?   hmmmm...  I hadn't tried)

P S - I found it! I retraced my steps yesterday and realized that I had accidentally saved a change in my MSI Afterburner settings trying to see if this YouTube video was right about tuning the core power to 50-55% (instead of 0).

It doesn't work for me, and it results in losing 40% MH/s.  I'm back to 21MH/sec.

1200 & 2225 MHz
900 mV for everything
Power consumption between 850 and 950 W for the whole rig (6 cards)

Thanks. Yep I had that numbers back in June (when I was on solo mining) but I pay a lot for electricity so power consumption is a major issue for me.

My 580s average is 29.5, but they consume 135w each (1150 and 2080-2250, 850mv for everything)


Thanks for sharing. Btw, what cards do you have? Mine are Sapphire Nitro+ 580 8GB (Hynix).
I have nearly the same (Pulse, not Nitro+).
I've been doing 190 MH/s on the six cards (increased core clock a bit, mostly) for the whole night with no issue.


I have 2 nvida video cards, say I wanted to use one to edit video and one to mine, what would the code look like? I couldnt find it in the readme
Or manually disable a gpu while mining by pressing "0", for example.
I don't remember seeing that in the readme. Are there other commands (apart from -dcri)?
