Need help from Ubuntu experts

Hi! I need some help from Ubuntu experts. I set up a test rig using the Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 on Windows 10, using Afterburner to do some mild overclocking - Stable on Claymore 9.8 with customised fan profile. I flashed the bios with the Hynix timing straps and I am getting around 24mhs, which is not bad, but not great either. It is stable.

However, when I tried set up an Ubuntu environment (16.04), I can get it stable at standard clock rates - however it crashes when I raised the clock rate using the flashed bios with the overclocked memory that works well in windows. The fan seems to be kicking in very late, and I was getting 76 degrees at 25% fan.

Here's a list of my questions that I hope the Ubuntu/Claymore experts can help with as I am a beginner in Ubuntu:

1. I tried using the -tt and -fanmin command in Claymore. I get the error message "Failed to set new fan speed, check if miner has root access!". How do I set the miner to have root access? Right now, I am starting the miner with the command in terminal "./mine.sh", where mine.sh is the claymore start file.

2. I am getting a list of error messages off the standard environment variables in Claymore. As below:

"alvin@cryptominer-one:~/Desktop/Claymore98$ ./mine.sh
./mine.sh: line 1: export: `0': not a valid identifier
./mine.sh: line 2: export: `100': not a valid identifier
./mine.sh: line 3: export: `1': not a valid identifier
./mine.sh: line 4: export: `100': not a valid identifier
./mine.sh: line 5: export: `100': not a valid identifier?

Appreciate some insights into the above.

3. -mclock 2100 doesn't seem to have any impact on the hash rate (standard is 2000). Am I using it correctly?

4. How do I monitor GPU status in Ubuntu? Aticonfig doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to solve the errors of 999. When the Windows locks the video card and then unlocks it, then the program restarts but without the overclocking settings. I would suggest that this is due to overclocking, but this happens without overclocking and only on video cards that are on the second power supply. Swapping blocks and video cards does not help.

How many of them do you have?
Have you checked HWInfo for memory errors on your cards?
What is your power consumption per card?
What are your overclock / undervolt settings?

Well I only have Hynix ones but those numbers does not sound too bad..
If I would change something I would increase the -dcri parameter in order to reach 900mh on DCR (the sacrifice in ETH actually has a minor stability benefit - less fluctuations- at least for me)

Does anyone have RX580 cards with Elpida?
In dual mining, I have ETH 28.7mh DCR 717mh.
I can't push them anymore Huh

Ok so I did the my first successful 1500 strapping on my two rx 470 4g. One is at 23 mh/s and the other 22. Up from around 19.5. Is that good? What can I do next for more performance!

1150 MHz core clock, 2000 - 2100 MHz memory clock should get you to ~29 MH/s stable with a good timing strap bios mod. Also run HWinfo 'sensors only' to check for memory errors and reduce the memory clock by 25-50 MHz until there are no errors.

Im up to 26 mh/ each now. at 1150 1950 -70 voltage. Past 1950 is black screen. Not bad for 470 4g

It should be higher. Try increasing the -ethi to 8. My eight card mixed RX 570/570 4GB/8GB rig is getting 28.5 to almost 30 MH/s dual mining UBQ.

If you are on Windows mining ETH make sure you have the blockchain drivers with the epoch Dag fix patch.

you got that 28.5-30 mh/s owing to low epoch of Ubiq I believe.

try to mine etc at epoch 144 and you will see.

some fantastic hashrates you have..

if you would log in to my teamviewer and make my rx570s work like yours, I would mine on your wallet for some time!

So I have been using the latest Claymore version since it came out.

My rig:

ASUZ Prime Z270-P
8x RX 580 8GB Nitro+ (Hynix)
Windows 10
Blockchain Beta Official Drivers
Claymore Dual Miner v.10.0
Modded BIOS, OC through Claymore @162w from the wall per card
Dual mining ETH (233 Mh/s) +DCR (7000 Mh/s)

I am overall happy with the new update, but I have had some issues:

Sometimes miner can't reach maximum speed. I open the miner, clocks and voltages are being set properly but hashrate lies in the 225mh/s area. A simple miner restart resolves the issue
Computer freezes. This has happened 2 times in my rig and 1 time in my PC (same setup with 1 gpu only) in the last 2 days. Here is the last part of the log @Claymore in case you find something interesting here

I know the fun part is

Code:

01:32:32:963 10f0 Socket was closed remotely (by pool)
01:32:32:963 10f0 ETH: Connection lost, retry in 20 sec...

I dont understand the bios modding. What am I to be changing on my Polaris cards I am only get roughly 20mh/s out of them on ETH.

When i load the bios following instructions, they say change timing, the timings are all kinds of crazy hex numbers.

I also get an error about my bois being too small

You cannot use GPU-Z to save the BIOS as it only saves half of modern bioses. You must use ati flash to save the bios. You are copying the memory straps from either 1500 (hynix, micron and elpida) or 1750 (samsung) and pasting it to all memory straps higher than it, such as 1650, 1700, etc up to 2000 or higher. This makes the memory run with tighter memory settings so hashes more. But it can also make the card unstable and/or crash.

How do I tell memory brand... also I am using ATI flash to pull them. They appear to already read as 2000 as thier default memory speed?

When you start GPU-Z, it reports the memory brand. Also use the following article for BIOS flashing as it tells you the correct Polaris BIOS editor version to use in order to get rid of the craxy hex numbers you're seeing:

Okay all m y cards are hynix so I can OC them a bit? My screen for timing looks nothing like his.

You are using outdated version of PBE. Find a good step by step instruction with the links to the 1.4.1 version

The most current version of PBE is v1.6. It now includes 'one click' bundled performance timings. Very easy to use. Just save your original Bios using Atiwinflash and open it in PBE. The 'one click' option automatically applies the bundled performance timings and then save the bBios and flash it using Atiwinflash.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21518785

This version applies performance timings to the 2000 strap by default. Any way to get it to apply performance timings to a lower strap?

The timing is applied according to what your cards memory type is. If you want you could copy it to the other timings manually by clicking on the strap you want to change and using the box on the bottom. I found it wasn't necessary and the cards are more stable than when I was just copying the 1500 Mhz strap to the higher frequencies.

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.
