His implementation does a little better than the ethminer (genoil or otherwise) ones when it comes to speed on the compute side - i.e. the computations. He also benefits from a technique I also use - somewhat poorly implemented on his side, yet likely somewhat effective - that is, executing some operations "for free" because the memory read is being done at the same time. This also increases the speed relative to the other public miners, and the side effect is (of course) the ASIC is idling less of the time... resulting in your raised power consumption. Appears to be touched up output from the AMD compiler ( well, almost certainly, seeing as it left the little love letter "@(#) OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (2442.12).  Driver version: 2442.12" as well as another noting it was used with the compile option "-legacy" Tongue )

ohh is that what's he's doing, no wonder it seemingly has very hard to find sweet spots Smiley profiling measurements and parallel processing through asm optimizations, under loads is very effective, yet less scalable and stable under various conditions than 'clean' implementation. - proper (not fine tuned for specific results asm optimizations that can benefit from compiler targets optimizations as well. but then he uses his own custom environment ...

EDIT: looks like on various timings and clocks [increasing the core clock then should be generally good solution for 24mh drops] it can also produce "interlaced like" fragmented memory load [mem read is done, but the filled in stuff isn't:)] and thus power draw inconsistencies. will check though with adding more RAM, so maybe not. AMD blockchain and new API is not very nice. Is there an update we should expect from him in a few weeks?

Okay, after 3 months of mining during the last couple weeks rig has been freezing and the last line of the log file indicates:

GPU got incorrect temperature 511 ignore

Thoughts?


I got this error when one of the fans on an RX580 failed. I don't know how long it was running with one failed fan but when I noticed the failed fan the card was very very hot !

In that case, the temperature was so high that the card itself couldn't measure it and that's why you got GPU got incorrect temperature 511.
That's my guess.

No, the card didn't respond - so it returned an code meaning invalid, which is what you see.

I see. I guess that there are several reasons why card didn't respond.

Hello,

does someone facing hard reboot (without any info .. just like on/off on PSU) with Claymore v10.0 on windows when mining (in dual mode) and connection to both pools get lost? Shocked

Regards

I get this after sometimes when the oc is too hard.

Why hashrate reported by Claymore and average hashrate reported from nanopool and ethminer have -minus 10% difference for me? Never had over reported hashrate for 24 hours.
That is noticed from 2 weeks, reported by Claymore - 394 Mhs, but average reported from ethminer pool 347 Mhs. That is too much, Rigs are only restarted 2 times a day for 2 min max time for reloading.
Who is giving us wrong values... pools or Claymore 10.0.
Is it possible Claymore 10.0 just pump hashrate to use it preferable to other minersoft?
Need users who have same difference .

Recently stale shares have become pretty high due to faster block times with Byzantium.  Some people are seeing up to 10% stale share while most are around 3-7%.

i have a gtx1060 6gb but my pc is lagged Sad Sad Sad i think it's not normal  Huh and i don't see my coins on etermine, what can i do? thanks

edit:w7

Please give us more detailed information on your system, at least give us your .bat configuration, PC specs, error encountered if any, or some screencaps will definitely do.

we are glad to help, but we do not do witch crafting with magic crystal balls knowing what is really going on to your system.

When I still had my 8-gpu rig consisting of MSI Gaming X 580 4gb elpidas, I'm having similar problems as you. They're smooth and all but they only hash 29.6 if all eight cards are connected.

If I only plug 4-5 cards, they hash a terrific 30.1 up to 30.3 each.

I've created a thread here, in another board and even in ethermining sub of reddit but apparently, not too many miners have 8-gpu rigs to contribute their thoughts.

I'm in the process of building 8x Nitro+ 580s on Saturday and I hope and pray that it's not going to be the same experience as the Gaming X's.

lol... I've got seven 570 rigs with 8*MSI gaming, 8*asus expedition, and 8*Nitro+ Smiley mostly elpida, some of those also have 2-4*1060 Palits 6Gb all on Asrock h100 btc.
The issues I'm having with dual claymore v10 & blockchain drivers:

1) the main problem is that some cards like to go down to 24-25 from regular 28-29. On some rigs first boot is almost guaranteed to be this way, often it's 28,25,25,25,25,25,25,25... but on anothers it may come in a few hours after reboot. (if it comes later the cards become very unstable and often crash, even on 1800Mem and 1080Core settings. Didn't check the stock timings yet...) Sometimes these all can lead to win hung, but now just installed watchdogs, so this is partially solved:)

2) Another issue is that Nvidia may fail to allocate dag and several reboots(sometimes even 5-6) may be required to get rid of this error. Also may lead to win hang.

3) And finally extremely irritating issue with EthMon: I've got one rig (one of the clones, so nothing special about it) that after 10-20 hours looses connection to EthMon, and will appear red, although working fine.
 

Curious what mobo do you use with your 8x gpu rigs?

Also, are you having a similar problem as mine? 8x gpus mine slower when all is connected ? or they mine the same as connecting a single GPU?
Using 8x GPU Nvidia GTX 1070 FE, on windows, Asus Prime z270-a works like a charm 32.100 Mh/s on each card total power 860Watt/h. but i had a big time hassle while i was trying to install the 8th card cos of the cheap m2->PCIe connector , everything  solved when i use a better m2 ->PCIe from amazon --->> Explomos M.2 Key

Nvidia drivers are more stable in general, yet now less profitable in a way. Also WinX(addiversary) will boot into blue screen if more then 8 AMDs installed.
MORE: to the above setup now out of 7 rigs: asus seems to be the most stable now at 1975-2000 and core 1120-1140 with 875mv. MSI gaming are really cool and smooth. Trying to exclude display (dummy/monitor issues now) some instability in 2-4 cards out of 64, including some vega pairs

@Claymore that would be awesome if you'd add another line with option for custom labeling (per GPU notes)  to the miner entry in the list. also so it would be possible to disable/enable such view (EthMan 3.4)

Hello,
I'm trying to set up Claymore, but it keeps crashing.

Using
Code:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 735941e61d9a1387db1e6ec1d26bed71e996b4c8.1070rig -epsw x

I'm getting

Code:
12:59:18:139	904	CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.

12:59:21:155 904 Set global fail flag, failed GPU0
12:59:21:155 904 GPU 0 failed.

I'm using 6x1070 Asus Strix.

I did incrase page file on disk, Try using option -lidag

Card what errors randoms as well.

Any suggestions?

try 32GB pagefile or bigger.

hi claymore sir,
i want to know about power consumtion of claymore.
your miner use to much power in dual mode and little bit more in single mine,
why your miner is using high power compare to gnoil or ethminer...Huh

Is this needed if we have 8 GB cards ?

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Can this prevent OpenCL call, exits from your experience or something else? I know this is because of heat or OC but can be also because of missing above code ?

What MB settings did you use? And which M.2 port is used to connect?
Mobo bios settings for this build are:  1->>Sistem Agent(SA)Configuration->Above 4G Decoding>> Enable
                                                  2->>DMI/OPI Configuration->DMI Max Link Speed>>Gen2
                                                  3->>Peg Port Configuration->PCIEX 16_1 Link Speed>>Gen2
                                                  4->>PCH Configuration->>PCIe Speed>>Gen2
                                                  5->>Onboard Devices Configuration->>HD Audio Controler->Disabled
                                                                                                 ->>M.2_1 Configuration->Auto
The card is connected to the farther M2 slot from CPU
 This are my settings on Asus mobo running 8 NVIDIA GTX 1070 FE 32.100 MH/s, but make sure you use the M2 adapter on amazon->>Explomos M.2 Key Wink
Hope it helps .

What the hell does that mean? Since I got this message, rig has been doing this at random times. Sometimes it'll take 7 days, sometimes 5 days. I just don't get what's wrong with my rig.

If these are failing risers, they shouldn't even last more than 24 hrs mining, but they're stable AF until this message.

Maybe a windows update snuck in there and fucked everything up?  Try claymore v10?

This is the plan actually. I just need to have my second rig up and running before I tinker with the first one. Just to minimize downtime and lost earnings. Thanks!

YOUR RISER CARD MAY BE BAD OR HEAT-DAMAGED--

And, in the worst case, your GPU may have failed.  Usually it is the riser.  They go bad, especially the skinny models (older) with floppy-disk molex connectors.  The wires melt.

I hope that your GPU is OK.  Test it in a slot on the motherboard with no riser, and by itself.  If the card works, it is likely the riser.       --scryptr
