Hi all:
   I have been quiet and doing a bit of experimenting with many of the different versions of Claymore. I just did a test of a card that would run say for 6 hours and then lose connection and drop out. The other card with it would stay mining just fine. Did this 6 times to make sure what I was seeing to be true.
   I then took said card to a different miner and one of them to said miner. Now all works fine.  I see that some cards just will not work together but will with others. So I feel strongly to say that if you have a rouge card, put it in a different machine and it may correct your problems. May not.
   My proof is in the puddin so to speak.

And now, A big thank you to all here that have shared their settings and results. This thread is a wealth of info if you just go back and read through it. Takes a while but there are so many jems waiting to be discovered. Are you new?  Start from page one and take notes. Grab a cold bear or a big cup of coffee and do the research, in the end you will emerge with one great farm.

Is anyone running GTX 1070s and experiencing wild variations in hash rates second by second?  Full speed hash rate is just over 30 Mh/s but I'm seeing it swing between 19, 24, and 30 continuously.  It was more stable before, not sure what changed.  It's only 51C so it's not throttling due to temperature.

What memory?

What settings OC and Powerslide?


What intensity? Try 8 or less...

8 is the default, right?  I'll try lowering it tomorrow and see what happens.

I had similar issues with mining speed fluctuations between 22-30. By the way you are using lots of power you can go down to 60% in AB.

If you see that only on one card - do you have monitor connected to your integrated GPU or you use RDP and connect to the Rig via one of the mining cards? If you don't have monitor connected and you connect to the Rig via RDP you actually use card resources which slows the mining speed of the card you use to RDP (I think it is GPO0 by default).

If you have the fluctuation issues on all of the cards I've notice that the Core Clock plays a role in the stability and not on the speed of mining.

Try the following configuration:

Power Limit: 60%
Core Clock: 150
Memory: 550

I hope that helps.

Claymore> Why not implement a mechanism to identify problematic GPU!? This should be already available! Stop the fan for 3 seconds on problematic GPU by pressing some key, or the other way.. spin it to 100%

Quote from: cjclm7

I think that is already done:
     1. go your command line window and press anywhere on it with the mouse
     2. then press the number of GPU you want to identify ( 0 or 1 or 2 or ...)
     3. that GPU you have selected will stop mining immediately and you will see fan stopping

to activate it again just repeat process (press again same GPU number)

hope have been helpful


Quote from: staman
I can confirm that this solution DOESN'T work. I had tried this out days ago on 3 rigs, none of disabled GPU fan stop to work.. they still spinning even when disabled and not mining. Waited for 30+ minutes.. not effective way to identify the GPU


well... it might not work on your rigs but I assure you it works in mine. After 2 minutes the fans are stopped on those GPU i write the digit. So in few minutes I am able to identify all GPU thanks to Claymore software.

By the way this Claymore´s software option is there in the text every time you start the program. If you see the text after the GPU´s checking is written there this option.

(If you need I can take screen shot to show the initial text of Claymore´s running window)

Looks like version 10.0 does not like my R9 380 cards with Aug 23 blockchain drivers (running Win10). Strange reaction to -cclock parameter - sometimes it works, sometimes GPU runs with 300Mhz. Incorrect temperature and fan speed data in monitor (comparing with GPU-Z or any other monitoring tool).
The problem occurs in a pair of 10.0 with blockchain drivers and never seen with 16.11.4 which was used before.

Really? On windows? What drivers?
I use windows 7, drivers are 17.4.4  as  the blockchain drivers and claymore just crash together on windows 7.
I switched to alt ethash coin once my hash rates starting droping below 28mhs and I have never needed a dummy connector for either rig

If I understand things right, once I plug in the dummy, the AMD drivers will load properly, and the 570s should get into the 28MH territory.

Correct

I have two rigs not connected to any monitor one with 3 560s and 1 570, the other with 2 580s and 2 1060's , I have no dummy plugs and I get full hashrates out of them. If I connect a monitor and check them I can go through their history and see consistent proper hashrates for all the cards.

Hi guys,
Sorry if this ends up a totally noob question, but I just can grasp what's going on.
I started using Claymore's miner 10.0, mining only ethereum on ethermine.org.

The machine has 3x rx570 4gb and 1x rx470 4gb.

Everything was going fine, and it actually increased my average hashrate from 67Mh to 78Mh (reported around 83)

But then, all of a sudden, after 3 or 4 days of great use, the thing started lagging substantially. To the point of dropping connection and verry chopy hashrate chart in ethermine. A few times, I even had to hard reset the rig, because I couldn't access it via teamviewer. I tried mining with -ethi 4, and it kind of works, but hashrate is shit, and it still isn't no where near as stable as before on standard ethi setting.

What can I do to get my hashrates back? Smiley

You initial hashrate is not very good you should be getting 28+ per card so well over 100mhs
How much memory does your system have
How big is your PSU
Did you set 16 gig minimum of virtual memory
What is your operating system win 7/ win 10
Not enough information here to go on

Hi, thank you for your reply. The moment I went to bed, the problem occurred to me. The rig is in a room without ethernet installation, so it uses a Wifi dongle. I found out that the moment the graphic cards started working, they must have increased the emitted EM crap so much that the wifi became just too unstable.

So I ran down to the basement in the middle of the night with a 1m usb extension cable, and I am a happy miner ever since. Or at least until I saw today's ether price charts:)

Maybe my low hashrate has something to do with the fact that it is a headless rig, and I didn't receive the DVI dummy plug yet. Now the rx570 are giving ~24MH and the RX460 (I mistakenly wrote RX470 in my initial post) ~12MH. If I understand things right, once I plug in the dummy, the AMD drivers will load properly, and the 570s should get into the 28MH territory.
Or is there anything else I could do?

I believe the fastest way to confirm this is to try another miner without changing anything further. Just confirm you are solo mining ETH with Claymore, then the issue appears, then try another miner with the same pool.

Yes, I will test other miner as well, but this will require more time so I will leave it for last

I was reading a while back in the thread and I found some more evidence:

Hello guys and @Claymore

I have a problem with my miners with blockchain aug23 driver, claymore 10 and my RX 580s.
Always when miner loses connection and claymore reconnect to pool, clocks stay at 300mhz or 600mhz. How can I fix this problem? Is there anyway to force to card work in the higher P state?

Much appriciated.

when my internet falls and back the boards do not return to render as they were rendering before.

do you have any command to restart the miner in case of a drop in yield or to rebound the os?


So, regarding
if the miner works stable lets say for 10 other people, do you think it's the miner to be blamed?
They are pilling up....

and a HWiNFO log:


The bold fields are the most interesting...
At 14:49:25 the connection with the pool was lost
At 14:49:32 the gpu's clocks and voltages got messed up
At 14:49:42 the rig froze

Edit:
I will through something more in there:
I am using -fanmin 15. I am mentioning it in case the fans getting too low trigger something weird that causes the freeze.

Thanks for the thanks Smiley

Just to let you know I tried the tip I suggested about switching a card off in Claymore and watching what hapens in AB, and for me it worked.
When I switched off a card using Claymore then in AB the clocks throttled back to the idle setting, now one thing to note is that I don't get a 1:1 correlation with Claymore & AB, i.e. Claymore 012345 does not equal AB 123456, this maybe because I'm mining Monero with Claymore CryptoNote v9.7 miner, with AB 4.4.0 beta 16.

Well, I'm not using AB for OC/UV my cards (i'm using OverDriveTool). When I switched off the card in Claymore the OC/UV profile still stays active so I still couldn't identify the card.
(But when I did the profile reset it shows it was the card I tought it will be)
The mechanism I posted above is valid  Smiley

Not sure about card ID's while mining Monero

Claymore GPU0 = MSI AfterBurn 1:CardXXX
(that means GPU3 in Claymore is MSI AB 4:Cardxxx)

So if you're having problem with let say GPU6 in Claymore, in the MSI AB select the card 7:Cardxxx and SPIN THE FAN to 100%
you will know physically what card it is!

Hey guys me again.

I'm still trying to get to the bottom of my lower than expected hash rates on my RX480 Nitro+ 4GBs!

The system consists of:
ASRock H81 Pro BTC 4th gen
Intel Celeron G1840
8 GB Kingston 1600Mhz RAM
30GB Kingston SSD
Corsair HX1200i Platinum series PSU
6x Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ 4GB GDDR5

Software/Mods:
Windows 10
Claymore V10
AB New Beta Version
Anorak "Memshift" bios

So as it stands the rigs are running at a steady 150MH (25/card) and 4,500 (750/card) for Sia with some fluctuations in reported figure like everyone is having issues with. As it stands I'm not using Afterburner at all but I am using the Memshift bios from Anorak. Running the power save I got around 16MH and running overclock I can get 27 but it trips my PSU when Dual mining Eth/Sia.

Basically I keep reading that I should be getting at least 27 with these cards maybe even 28 but I'm really struggling to do so. Is anyone actually getting more from the cards with dual mining? If so how do you have it setup? Standard bios then overclocked? Using what software? Etc

Thanks in advance

yes is the miner and the driver
fixed issues with voltage/clocks management for latest AMD blockchain drivers (not completely).

That is what I believe as well

I believe the fastest way to confirm this is to try another miner without changing anything further. Just confirm you are solo mining ETH with Claymore, then the issue appears, then try another miner with the same pool.

Using Dual Mining on Claymore 10.0 with Vega 64 cards, Eth+Sia - its only rejecting Sia shares, why is this? Works on RX570, RX580, GTX1060 and GTX1070 without issues, however on Vega 64 not a single one is being accepted...? Any ideas?

i have the same problem with vega 56. you can read above in page 831 for details

SC: Received error: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":4,"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"target-miss"}}


 i only know that worked fine with claymore 9.8 i dont find a way to make it work with claymore 10. please let me know if anyone of you find solution

Guys, is there a easy way how to identify which GPU is which?
(like having and GPU3 hang-out but have no clue what card is it out of 8 cards!)

Is MSI AB numbering 1-8 equal to Claymore's 0-7 ?
AB1 = gpu0? , ab2= gpu1 Huh

I'm using simple method of increasing fan speed to 100% in AB to identify the cards but still not sure if this is the right way
thank you

I am pretty sure recent Claymore like 9.8 or 10.0 match AB ordering.  If you are not sure, set -di 0124567 to disable GPU 3 and see what one is not hot to the touch.

Xeridea, thank you very much for the confirmation!
Claymore> Why not implement a mechanism to identify problematic GPU!? This should be already available! Stop the fan for 3 seconds on problematic GPU by pressing some key, or the other way.. spin it to 100%

I think that is already done:
     1. go your command line window and press anywhere on it with the mouse
     2. then press the number of GPU you want to identify ( 0 or 1 or 2 or ...)
     3. that GPU you have selected will stop mining immediately and you will see fan stopping

to activate it again just repeat process (press again same GPU number)

hope have been helpful

I can confirm that this solution DOESN'T work. I had tried this out days ago on 3 rigs, none of disabled GPU fan stop to work.. they still spinning even when disabled and not mining. Waited for 30+ minutes.. not effective way to identify the GPU


Quote
I haven't checked but if you do, as suggested above, disable GPU 3 will it not show in AB which card has shut down (clock speeds will be at idle speed), so you should be able to see if Claymore & AB number systems match.

This actually might work..
Can anyone test it out? I have no MSI AB installed on my rig..

EDIT: Not working either. Just tried that out on friend's rig! AB still showing the OC/UV values.. not returning back to default when GPUx is disabled in Claymore Sad

PS: I think all of us here could agreed on that solution like "Identify the problematic GPU" should be already implemented in Claymore. (long time ago)

If I'm reading and following this right, Claymore asked you to perform 2 things, you managed to do only 1, and now you r going back to him saying that it didn't help. That's really outstanding.
On a side note I had similar problems and managed to fix this by tuning the core voltages for each GPU separately. Now everything is stable and for the last few days I checked only twice the miners. For all people with similar issues, just by following simple logic -> if the miner works stable lets say for 10 other people, do you think it's the miner to be blamed?

It is not like I am bored or something. I do not have physical access to my rig yet. I will probably have this weekend.

BTW that 1 thing I didn't perform (setting default ROM)... yeah I have the same ROM as the rest of the planet does for that GPUs, which used to work fine before Blockchain drivers.

Quote from: kkourmousis
I didn't get the chance to set original ROM but I did remove overclock. Not only it didn't help but it got worse! In fact, while I was trying different OC settings I noticed that the lower I was setting my clocks, the more unstable my rig became.

My rig usually freezes after a GPU hangs or after a share gets rejected. The clocks I am using and the ROM I am using have been stable for months now with previous drivers and miner version

One more thing I have noticed is that after a rig restart (following a freeze) the miner starts, the clocks and voltages are being set normally but I get~ 3.5% less performance than usual. Once I restart the miner it gets back at 100%. Does anyone else have the same issue?

Me. And I have to completly shutdown the computer (PSU switch) for that to stop happening.
Also, I've set the default rom, just for testing, without any OC. I still get invalid shares on ethereum and a warning to check my overclock. (eu1.ethermine.org)

This guy tried default ROM but he did not left any feedback on the "Freeze" issue, after stock ROM, only on invalid shares.

Also, I did remove overclock, so "tuning the core voltages for each GPU separately" has already been done and it did not help at all. In fact it made things worse.

Reading posts like this:

The next bug i want to report is that in my opinion the dual mode (EXP + DCR) is buggy on systems with more than 4 GPUs (Win7 64bit, RX560). I searched over four weeks now for another possible solution but cant find it. I tried to undervolt, i checked possible GPU memory errors (HWInfo64), i checked the psu and the riser cards, i checked the intensity and othe options. I also tested to let the cards alone, dont changed anything on the volt or clock times. I checked the amount of watt for each card and made sure, thats its the same as for solo mode. Nothing helps. The systems with only one card running fine in dual mode. The system with six cards crashes coincidentally if there are more then 4 cards. And it dont really matter if i undervolt the cards or let them alone. It crashes sometimes after 20 minutes, sometimes after 6 hours and most of the times during i sleep :-)

is what leads me to believe it is not a ROM/Overclock fault.

I myself have one single same GPU in my PC,with same clocks, with same voltages, with same ROM, with same drivers, with same Claymore Miner version that runs just fine.
Yet my rig with 8 gpus keeps freezing frequently.

I am not blaming the miner, I am blaming the drivers but since AMD won't do anything I am relying on Claymore

And it is not like I am telling "fix it for me". I am gathering other people's experiences for @Claymore to decide if there is a common issue or not.

As for my self, if I have physical access this weekend rest assure I will try everything to specify the issue

Edit:

yes is the miner and the driver

So,

Seeing that this problem is not specific to me, I will post quotes from various users with same problems so @Claymore can identify that indeed a problem exists.


@Claymore, thank you for your last response:

Try to set original ROM, remove overclock and see if it helps, this way you can check that the reason is in your settings.
If your rig freezes, it must be something related to overclock, like wrong voltage for some power states, or something similar. It is not miner issue.

My answer to that was:

I didn't get the chance to set original ROM but I did remove overclock. Not only it didn't help but it got worse! In fact, while I was trying different OC settings I noticed that the lower I was setting my clocks, the more unstable my rig became.

What I believe all of us with the same problem would love to hear from you is that you are aware of the problem and checking it out. Don't let us abandon hope!

I am at the point of 5+ miner restarts per day...
