Topic: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux) - page 539. (Read 6590718 times)

Do basic isolation, exclude all other GPU's and install only one in PCI-ex16 slot without riser, this is to mitigate PSU issue and riser issue.

if nothing happens, then second step is to clean uninstall drivers and install, we are talking about only 1 GPU here, make work with only 1 gpu when it stabilized then install the other GPU's

I restarted it today at 36 hours, and now its crashing every 3 minutes. Its driving me nuts!

EDIT: I lowered the memory clocks to +530, now it's working again.

For the ones who are complaining about force restarts and freeze i will tell you my experience, i had the same problems and maybe this will help you to:
I have 5 sapphire rx580 8GB and 1 msi rx580 gaming edition 8GB, windows 10 64bit ver 1703
1. Until robin hood drivers i didn't have any problems with claymore or drivers or freeze. After installing this drivers i could not overclock my cards from claymore so i needed to tweak them with Afterburner and BIOS edits, but again i could stil function properly
2. When the official drivers from amd (still beta, but from official site) where launched i installed them and every 2-3 days I needed to reboot my sister. No matter what i have tried: OC tweets (even with the same settings which previously worked), I`ve seen the spikes in energy drawn by the sistem like Claymore said is causing the freeze.
3. Tha final step to create a stable sistem:
 - uninstall drivers with AMD wizard which installs also the 17.11.1 drivers. I didn't need to uninstall them from safe mode
 - patch the drivers
 - uninstall Afterburner
 - installed Claymore 10.1 with same Config file which worked with Robin Hood drivers
 - set every card in Compute mode, reboot the sistem and everything was set.

I already have a week without freeze or reboots.
Claymore could set everything except the fan speed of my MSI card: cclock, mclock, cvddc, mvddc
With 17.11.1 drivers i observe also a 50-60w economy on my sistem consumed

I hope this will help also others!

Yes the rig was working about 3 days without an error at +150 core clock and +650 memory clock. But I haven't touched the config file. What should I edit inside?

I got a stable build with memory clock decreased to +540, power to 100% and the last Claymore 10.1. I still got the "incorrect share" errors but its working stable for 34 hours now.

Maybe the problem is the PSU because I got an Corsair HX1200i Platinum for my build. I'am not home at the moment, so in a month I'll buy a second PSU and then try to raise the clocks again. Still I got an average 182MH/s which is not bad. But I think I can go to 200MH/s.

linux peeps halp meh plezz!

I've gotten slightly further along by installing a bunch of the .deb packages from the amdgpu-pro 17.40 tarball and adding this line to my script:


But now I get "Cannot build OpenCL program for GPU 0/Segmentation fault" and also it only sees 3GB of VRAM. This is the same error I was getting on Ubuntu 16.04 (I'm on Debian Buster now).

EDIT: nvm I got it hashing. Had to install OpenCL from the ROCm github. Also had to run Claymore without the script and just add the parameters to config.txt for some reason or I would still get the OpenCL error.

Could use some help getting hash rate up though. I'm still getting pre-dag-fix hashrates. I already added "amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9" to the /etc/default/grub file so not sure what else to do there.

Also getting "ADL Library not found." I downloaded and compiled AMD_ADL_SDKV10 and just got an "adlutil" binary, which also gives the same error when I try to run that.

Every time i find a Sia coin share (i am using dual-mining ETH+SIA on nanopool) i get a recieved error:


And "Current Calculated Hashrate" (for SIA) on Nanopool is always 0, "Average Hashrate for last 6 hours" is however NOT 0, and i do seem to mine a few SIA coins now and again.

Note! Eth mining is working fine!

This is the bat-file i use to load up Claymore Miner:


Any help would be much appreciated!
Thx in advance!!

Forget both Ethereum and Bitcoin and mine Sumokoin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-sumo-sumokoin-digital-cash-for-highly-confidential-transactions-1905086 , https://pool.sumokoin.com/ .
It uses the Cryptonote algorithm which takes 25% less electricity costs (some report 30% less) than the Ethash algo, and cards run cooler.
If you really want to hold BTC or ETH then just mine Sumokoin (Cryptonote algo) and convert to BTC or ETH.
Claymores Cryptonote miner: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/claymores-cryptonote-amd-gpu-miner-v113-638915
Sgminer for Cryptonote: https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm/releases <--- I prefer this one for Cryptonote.

I also have mixed amd card models, what i do to reinstall drivers is:

1 - amdcleanuputility to remove the old driver
2- install the new driver i want
3- use the atikmdag-patcher right after drive instalation before restarting

hope it helps

Hi. I have an hd7950 and it gives 0.000 MH/s on claymore. I did a google search but I couldn't find anything.

Edit: I fixed it by downloading some beta amd drivers by searching blockchain on amd's site. 10.9MH/s

Why on the third day of continuously running the shares number starts to decrease about 30%? Why does this miner need a restart every two days or it will perform badly?

Thanks for the link, i have read and made some test around.

And the conclusion is That 2 of my gpus need lower oc, but will performe as hard ast the others gpu with higher OC.

Example : GPU1 GPU2 GPU3 GPU 4 - OC at 70 power 10 clock and 20 memory to reach 25 MH
GPU5 GPU6 - OC at 85 Power 5 clock and 15 memory to reach 25 MH

I do not understand why

This is just a example number, every test i made to reach stability for the GPU 5 GPU6 is was to rais 5-10 numbers at the time,to see if they crash, at the point where they didnt crash instantly like before i let them run, for 2-3h, and find stability, then others fine tweeks till i reached for what is seems stability for all 6 to work in harmony.

Thanks Again.

Disabling crossfire solved this problem. It is easy to identify if CF is enabled; Card#2 will have a single green LED (GPU tach) lit up when sitting idle.

Have you previously make this worked and suddenly have an error?

seems like a driver error or miner config problem to me

With Windows 10 I haven't had to use patcher yet, and was running fine up until I installed a new card and tried to force the driver install on it.
Will try using patcher, thanks.

halp! I am trying to mine on linux but I get the error "No AMD OPENCL or NVIDIA CUDA GPUs found, exit"

I have an R9 270 and an RX 570 in the system, but I am only trying to mine on the 570. I have a few different opencl libraries installed and the AMD-APP-SDK v3.0.

Below is the output from lspci -v and dpkg -l as well as my mining script. What am I doing wrong?

Guys,

How about this bitmain card
https://sophon.ai/product/view.html?product_id=000201710181659398323r05Yqq8067F&template=sc1-detail

You think it could be used for mining in the future? Maybe new software?

@claymore

Personally I would like to hold what I mine. I'm getting into mining this month with a rig and I don't know if I should do nicehash and get BTC or Claymore and get ETH. BTC is tons more stable but it doesn't have the potential value increase of ether I think.

and you forgot patcher? Who google today...

I had to reinstall all drivers, and it seems only 2 of the 5 cards are showing up.
Mixture of 480s and 580s, 2 of 3 580s show up, 0 of 2 480s show up.
Tried so many driver installs.

I mine 15 days in nicehash and 15 days with claymore and other miners sometimes. I like to mine btc because that's the btc I use to pay bills and other stuff I manage to pay with the amount I'm able to mine the 15 days. Then I like to play or trade the coins that I mine for the rest of the month. I know that you should only care to mine the most profitable coin but I like to take advantage of early mining because the rewards are shared among less miners and where there's no way of getting them other than mining, I like to take the risk of giving the new coin a chance.

But each person will have a different strategy for their mining.
