Hey guys,

Just a quick question to see if any of you came across such issue:

After the latest Windows 10 Pro upgrade I started having this wierd issue with one of my cards (MSI RX580 8GB) in PCIE_16x slot 0 (ASUS Z270-P). The miner would get stuck at POOL/SOLO output and mining would never start. I tried a few things and noticed that when I disabled GPU 0 (using the -di argument) the remaining cards would start mining without any issues. I suspected some issue with the card, raiser or the motherboard. I did some troubleshooting and noticed that any card inserted in that PCIE slot was having the issues so that ruled out the raisers or cards. Provided that the only change made was the windows upgrade, I tried to download and install latest chipset and ME drivers, latest BIOS and did a fresh install of the blockchain drivers (using DDU). None of that helped so I thought the slot is faulty or something but then I noticed something very strange...when I plug in a monitor into the impacted card, everything started working (or at least for the past 48 hours). The monitor does not even need to be turned on as long as the DVI cable is plugged in on both ends.

Has anybody experienced such issue or am I going crazy here 😂

Hi!

my problem is very strange and i cant find a solution to it. The miner starts up great checks my Graphics Card and says all is well. R9 270 btw ... then it starts mining the GPU goes to 100% BUT Core and Memory clock stay at 300 MHz instead of 1400 which is defined in the card settings .. so the card starts but only in low power mode how do i get it to work correctly???

This may not fix the problem but ensure that the swap file is at least 16GB . Some more information on your setup would also help, such as OS, Drivers used and miner config.

I only able to get 8 MH/s ETH with my Gigabyte GTX 970 regardless the miner I use. And every time I start mining I get "PerfCap Reason:VRel" in GPU-Z while the "Power Consumption" is around 45% TDP. Most people get from 14 to 23 MH/s on GTX 970

Guys i have a problem with the miner and cant figure what is causing it exactly.
On my personal PC i have one nvidia 1070 for testing purposes. When i run Claymore Miner there, the whole computer start to work really slow.
The mining is fine, there is no problem there, but i can barely use the computer for anything else.
Its Windows 7 pro 64 bit, i7 2500k, 16 gb ram and SSD samsung 840 pro. Its a pretty decent computer.

On all of my rigs which have the cheapest processors possible, running Claymore's Miner is not problem for the computer. It's not noticeable at all.
You can browse the internet or whatever. The have Windows 10 pro 64 bit.

So tell me what you think, is this the OS difference thing? Or is it something else?
Please help!

I have 5x RX480 (Saphhire Nitro +) with Blockchain drivers and custom BIOS. I'm limited to 1000W power.  I'm currently mining ETH + LBRY but I have some wierd errors. GPU stops every few minutes and then starts again... I tryed lowering dcri but no help.
Now my settings are:

Clock: 1050
Voltage: 950
Memory: 2080
voltage: 950

Can you tell me what settings on GPU do you use for this combination?


I run the same set up to the following numbers:


Clock: 1160
Voltage: 900
Memory: 2020
Voltage: 920
Powlim: -10

I get 28-29 Mhs with this setting and run my machines at 1000W with 6 cards.
Good luck

Hello, in this moment I use 10.0 Version
Better upgrade to 10.2?

Thanks for the details, hopefully tomorrow I have some time to try it out.

What about the fan RPM, has anyone made MSI AB work at least for fan control in Win 10 1709 (FCU) with latest official AM driver (11.3)?

Thanks.

In config file it says:
# WARNING! Miner loads options from this file only if there are not any options in the command line!

So in start.bat you should only have this...

My start.bat file:

Code:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cmd /K "C:\Mining\Claymore's Dual Miner v10.1\EthDcrMiner64.exe"
Note that I have my start.bat in a different folder, so I am using the above format

Once again, my config.txt file:

Code:
-esm 0
-etha 0
-asm 1
-estale 0
-mode 0
-dcri 30
-minspeed 232
-retrydelay 2
-tt 70
-tstop 77
-fanmax 90
-fanmin 15
-cclock 1140
-mclock 2080,2070,2060,2200,2050,2110,2070,2060
-cvddc 850
-mvddc 850
-platform 1

My dpools.txt :
Code:
POOL: stratum+tcp://dcr-eu.coinmine.pl:2222, WALLET: MyWalletName.MyWorkerName, PSW: MyPassword
Note that MyWalletName, MyWorkerName, MyPassword are specific for my account, you should put yours there

My epools.txt :
Code:
POOL: eu2.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0x0x22D1C05F89dbe036aABFFEc197949E635903C6FA.MyWorkerName, PSW: x
Note that I do not mine on that address (I only accept donations on that address) and that "MyWorkerName" is my personal selection, you can name your miner however you want

As you can see I use ethermine.org for ETH and dcr-eu.coinmine.pl for DCR, which are the ones I personally highly recommend

dpools.txt and epools.txt are where I choose to store wallet information, so that config.txt has only configuration settings

Thanks.

In config file it says:
# WARNING! Miner loads options from this file only if there are not any options in the command line!

So in start.bat you should only have this:

Code:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe

And then add all options in config file like:

Code:
-epool us1.ethpool.org:3333
-ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F
-epsw x
-esm 1
-mode 1
-cclock 1140
-mclock 2080,2070,2060,2200,2050
-cvddc 850
-mvddc 850
is this correct?

I checked my .bat file and I don't even have the setx GPU..... commands anymore and i'm fine without it  Wink

I think it's more for 2GB cards, as far as I remember reading OP's post #1.

I just finished  a 6 x 1060 6GB build.
I am running the latest nvidia drivers and was just testing with the latest version of this miner.

I get like 2Mhs per card @ ETC right now.. wtf ?

The rig is doing 1700 sol/s solid @ equilhash.

Anyone had this issue before ?

you need to update windows 10 to last version to get ether full speed
1709 completely messed up my miner.
Reinstalling it as we speak.

Is there any other build that also work ?

I just want an example of an working config, not for someone to write my config. Based on that I will adapt it and write my own.

Everything you seek is in the first post of this thread for the most part, don't be lazy.  At least try and we can help you if it doesn't work.

Hello fellow miners,

I have a question for the more experienced ones:
Can you give me a complete setup example for Claymore from those who only use Claymore setup and no other programs?
This would be for a rig with multiple AMD cards from different manufacturers. I am running Win 10 FCU, latest AMD drivers, and MSI AB for fan control.

What I want to set-up is individual OC and voltage for each card like:
1st card GPU 1140MHz, GPU voltage 950, Mem 2019MHz, Mem voltage 950
2nd card GPU 1140MHz, GPU voltage 950, Mem 2119MHz, Mem voltage 950
and so on

How should this look like and will it work with MSI AB for fan control?

Thanks

PS. Ursule..? Smiley

Hi, it's not laziness it's the risk of not being able to mine.
Now I'm running Win 10 1703 (not 1709) and using only MSI AB for everything on beta blokchain drivers.
If I go and do the updates above, and switch to Calymore OC, I can't easily revert so I will have huge downtime.

I just want an example of an working config, not for someone to write my config. Based on that I will adapt it and write my own.

Thanks for understanding.

PS. I also hear that with latest Drivers you AB will not be able to change any settings, does this apply to the fan control also?

Did you try
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-au.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal MYWALLETNUMBER/RIG1 -epsw x -allpools 1?

why do I need to add allpools 1? I actually tried that and the miner is running however, when I check my wallet on the dwarfpool site, there are no ETH deposits and average hashrate is showing as zero so I thought that means its not working ?
Dwarfpool tends to suck at showing you average hashes and your miners stats at 1st for maybe 2-3 hrs dont worry its working, give it a try on nanopool youll see stats in 15 min.

Periodically console shows these errors:
"remote management read-only only command miner_restart ignored"
"remote management read-only only command miner_reboot ignored"
But i don't use programs for remote management/restart/reboot!

Does it mean that somebody tries to rule my miner? How can i escape these errors?
