Yes, that's why I'm curious. It'd have been fine if it was 50 Watts increase in power, but jumping from 450 Watts to 600 Watts is really ridiculous, specially for a new bronze Corsair power supply.

I'm going to open up my PSU, GPU's, whole system and suck some dust through the stuff through a light vacuum cleaner. Let's see what happens.

just did the exactly same operation yesterday
cleaned all radiators form my watercooling system
as result my temps dropped about 10 celius, that is a huge drop for me
now it is much better and quiter

Guys, I'm really going to suck the dust through vacuum cleaner and going to apply the thermal paste.

But I'm going to totally open the GPU for the first time, don't have much of idea. Have few questions regarding the thermal paste.

1. Could putting thermal paste damage the GPU in any way? Is there any chance of getting it damaged?
2. Is it safe if I put some excessive thermal paste on the GPU?
3. If there's any factory-applied thermal paste on the GPU, can I remove it using a cotton/tissue and then apply the new thermal paste?

Any answer would be appreciated.

Been hearing some word about Musicoin being more profitable to mine on Claymore than ETH, any confirmations of this?

It was for a bit.

My HD 7990 uses 300W and gets 55 MH/s (MUSIC,EXP,UBQ) and the RX VEGA is doing 41 MH/s with the same power consumption OMGWTFBBQ.

Did HD 7990 make 55 MH/s just after launch date, or it was optimised many years?

lol. yeah. to some people progress seems to be a linear thingie. architectural changes in Vega may require a new approach to feeding it up properly?

I've been doing a lot of research recently and I've found the new $800 RX VEGA can do up to 41 MH/s @ 300W.

Whoever the AMD CEO is she needs to stripped naked, tied to a post and publically caned with one lash for every MH/s under 80 MH/s and one lash for every Watt over 200W.

First it was not amd claims, second from badwitch calculation vega is capable do 80 MH/s and i think big mining farms have optimized miner (cause vega was sold out in first days even if is poor in gaming) , I think Claymore have asm for vega but just deley it for big mining farms sake ... It is business...

They're a big enough company they should make proper drivers for Linux and Windows, this crappy mining performance is probably mirrored with crappy gaming performance.

Also, what about the 300W? My HD 7990 uses 300W and gets 55 MH/s (MUSIC,EXP,UBQ) and the RX VEGA is doing 41 MH/s with the same power consumption OMGWTFBBQ.

Hi Claymore : is there a new version of your dual miner in the pipe, ready soon ?
The actual one is very good, but we ever hope better ;-).

I plan to release new version in 3-4 days. I've almost finished ASM mode for ETH+LBC, also try to find some workaround for voltage control.

Thank you for your reply.
Happy to know for a new release soon and the dual mining mode ETH + LBc will be my choice in the next days :-).

Thanks for this. I didn't see that one sentence buried amongst all the other boxes, lines, codes, and other stuff.

Howdy Devs and happy Miners!!

Question: When the Claymore dual miner restarts (for whatever reason: coin switch etc.) it resets the core voltage value on my MSI R9 290x Gaming 4G to zero. This is a huge problem because it hits 80C on this setting. I have to manually go back into Afterburner and reset it to -100 everytime. This gets the card back down to 70C without affecting my hashrate, so how do I access and change this particular setting within Claymore? FWIW I also have an R9 390 in this rig but when Claymore resets the core voltage value this card is not negatively affected in the temperature department.

My Rig:
Running Nicehash Legacy
Crimson Blockchain drivers
MSI Afterburner 4.4.0 beta 12

Motherboard: 990fx-ud3
GTX 1070
Rx 580
R9 290x <---problem card
R9 390

Thanks in advance!!
Chris

Edit the BIOS to have the desired voltage/clocks at load, then you don't need to use AB (or wattman or whatever) at all.

Thanks. Someone was nice enough to delete a post I made that might not have been clear enough...so...

To Claymore: Is there a way to modify any file within the miner to set the core voltage to a fixed value?
What would that file name be and if you know, it's location within the nicehash miner.

Now the money is free, and so the people will be

From reading the discussions here, W0lf you could release a paid nix build on usb, with tools built in, plug and play form for miners. Would be more interesting than what there is for AMD miners at the moment.

For RX 5xx users, May I ask which driver versions are you using?
Since AMD blockchain driver doesn't let me set mclk on one of my cards, i reverted back to using normal drivers, but now the current up to date drivers fluctuate both the core and mclk and drop the hashrate of both cards

I'm using the second-to-latest latest blockchain drivers (aug11) + Claymore 9.8 with no software-related problems. I embedded my overclock and underclock directly in BIOS and I control the undervolt using Trixx afterwards.

The last good drive is still 17.7.1. No point installing new ones, they only break stuff and do nothing good, unless blackchain driver if you know how to overcome the issues.

See above. As long as you do same settings it would work.

Hi guys,

below is my set-up and I was wondering if I could use 1200w under 7GPU, or should I add another PSU to support the wattage.
Appreciate your guide on this Grin

CORSAIR – 1200w
MSI M5 7 PCIE
4x - RX 570
3x – RX 580
MSI AB 4.4.0 beta 16

depending on the algo you wish to run, where obvious choices are ethash, equihash, cryptonight
you can make your cards take from about 100W(cryptonight) to 150W(dual eth) keeping the hashrate at good levels

Wolf0 I have a question. Does it help (in the context of hash rates) to have a certain Linux kernel (as in a recent one...perhaps that you compile yourself) or a certain driver (amdgpu vs amdgpu-pro)? And I doubt it makes a difference...but what about mesa version?

btw I'm asking within the confines of publicly available packages specifically.

Not really, as long as the kernel is relatively recent. And AMDGPU is always used - AMDGPU-PRO is shit atop it, and 99.99% of that trash you don't need. All you need is the OCL runtime; keep it light.

K thanks for the tips!

Should it be possible to mine using a Vega 64 GPU and an RX 580 GPU together in the same rig? I'm getting hard lockups whenever I try to combine them...
