I can't believe people are having trouble with msi cards and hynix memory! First of all, with the 4gb hynix cards use the 1500memstraps! Second, lower the gpu speed (1095-1191mhz range). Finally, start with a voltage offset of at least -14 in watttool. You should be able to set the mem to 1900mhz, but you may have to lower the p7 mem/gpu voltages even further. I'm getting 27/730 eth/dcr hashrate with 9.3 -dcri27 on a 4gb 470 msi gaming x. My msi ref 480's 4gb with hynix mem have the memclock at 2000 with everything else the same and the hashrate is ~28.6/800 eth/dcr. According to kill-a-watt all of the 480's use <100w for dual mining, and all the 470's <90w. I've got dozens of polaris cards and for me msi is the best for mining!

I agree,  never seen a "bad" polaris card yet, samsung or hynix (480 or 470) are all doing 28MH fine.
However your power consumption numbers look way off. for me dual mine on voltages below 900mv is over 130W.
For example I've got here five card rig (2*480_msi_ref_8g  &  1*470_Ntro+_4g & 2*470_ref_4g) doing ETH&DCR @ 140MH&3200MH pulling 795W from the wall.
PSU is gold rated thermaltake

By "all" of the 480's I meant the msi 4gb ref ones that I mentioned earlier, I use the 1750memstrap on the 8gb cards, and they do use more power but get a higher hashrate. Of course, clockspeed also has a impact on power consumption. The msi 470 4gb gaming x can handle mid to lower 800mV for the clock speeds I use. I don't have 470nitros but I do have 8gb 480Nitros and they required a lot of voltage tweaking since by default they have a +25mV offset if you check them with watttool.

I think many people have problems because of too high clockspeeds and too much voltage

Hi Claymore and Community.

I'm switched from 8.0 to 9.3 and noticed that time of share accepted increased 2-3 times. And totally effected pool average hashrate.
See below, (dual-mining or single mode result the same):

Version 8.0
ETH: Share accepted (62 ms)!

Version 9.3
ETH: Share accepted (156 ms)!
ETH: Share accepted (172 ms)!

So, seems this affect hashrate and I lost around 10% in 24 hours period.

Any suggestion are welcome, thanks in advance.

I see the newbie tag so let me explain some things to you.

The speed at which shares are accepted does not matter (much) in mining.

Shares are weighted by difficulty.  I can mine at low difficulty and submit a lot of shares fast.
Someone else can mine at high diffilcuty. They submit fewer shares but because the work they solved was more difficult they actually have more hash than me.

What matters is the hashrate the pool is reporting. The pool is giving you the data including the difficulty, not simply the total number of shares.

this is confusing. I'd think that 'ms' is the time measured from the moment you submitted the share till you got response from the pool. and if so it wouldn't probably have to do anything with the miner version, but the network conditions.  also obviously when the block time is short your ping better be fast.

I have an interesting issue with this miner.  I have been mining just fine with it but ran across an issue with my AT&T internet while mining.  I am hoping someone can help me figure it out and suggest a solution.

The issue is, when I am mining (directly plugged into AT&T wireless router) the wireless AT&T boxes in the rest of the house lose connection and will not reconnect.
I don't know enough out the router settings or what the miner is doing to address the issue.  The mining process clearly is messing with the signal or frequencies that the boxes try and connect to.
Then I get the rest of the house screaming for me to shut down my mining.

Anyway. Really hoping someone has an idea how to fix it.
Thanks!

On both version - v9.0 and v9.3 I have the same cpu usage on (latest G4560 3.5 GHz) about 1-2% overall cpu usage of whole system

If you are sure that the reason is the miner, not your pool or internet connection, you can create two log files and PM them, I will compare them.
I can confirm that actual hashrate(current hashrate) is a bit lower on 9.3.My average hashrate dropped with 10 since I updated to 9.3 from 9.1

true but 2nd coin got x2 increase do mind that asm optimizations shifted optimal dcri
also try "-eqlim 288" for polaris

Yeah throw away that "killawat"...

It only takes one white crow to prove not all crows are black. I've got a problem with multiple TF MSI Rx480 4GB and an even bigger problem with RMA service. Where the fuck are my new cards I paid cash for MSI?

A couple of miner things:

From the READ ME!!!!!:

"SAMPLE USAGE

Dual mining:

 ethpool, ethermine  (and Stratum for Decred):
   EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F.YourWorkerName -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:4252 -dwal DsUt9QagrYLvSkJHXCvhfiZHKafVtzd7Sq4 -dpsw x
   you can also specify "-esm 1" option to enable "qtminer" mode, in this mode pool will display additional information about shares (accepted/rejected), for example:
   EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -esm 1 -ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F.YourWorkerName -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:4252 -dwal DsUt9QagrYLvSkJHXCvhfiZHKafVtzd7Sq4 -dpsw x
"

a) From the ethermine site it was noted that the qtminer mode was dropped on 05/01. On their ethermine site, they don't use the -esm command in their Claymore sample command line. I guess this implies that the Claymore default is ok.

b) Regarding the use of yiimp.ccminer.org:4252, if I use 4252, I don't get anything. If I use the decred port 3242 from the Yiimp site, a few accepted but many errors.

So much posting test results on the RX460 4G OC like I promised, after paying for my order and waiting a week I got a call from the store. I go down to the store to puck up the card and she tells me "we can't sell you the card at this price" and advises me she didn't even order the card.

How's that for Jewed? At least I got my money back.

HashWare - Mining solutions for everyone!
have problem with claymore 9.2 win10 eth+dec miner

rig either freezes, or shuts down. sometime it can work all day long, but if i try to test for stability and reset it many times to see how often it crashes, it does.
also the rig, after i shut it down many times turns itself up again by itself. or when it crashes it turns itself as well. although automatic turn on is NOT enabled in bios.
using RX 480 4gb sapphire nitro cards. with bios mod from anorak and slightly OC. tested also by removing one card at a time and see if it crashes, and it ndeed does....anyone might pinpoint the cause? trying to figure this up for the past one and a half week!

I have rigs with Asus RX480 8GB with Samsung memory and also Sapphire Nitro's+ RX470 4GB, I have been switching to the latest versions of the miner but I have noticed they do not necessarily improve the hashrate

Is there some necessary setting like -asm 1 that would improve hashrate or decrease power draw? Which version of the miner do you guys recommend as best?

try v9.1 -asm 0

Have a problem after update to win 10 creators update (Claymore 9.3, Saphire RX 480 Nitro+ 8G, drivers: 17.4.3).
My PC is falling into blue screen twice or more in a day, all videocard settings are old - with Anniversary update int was stable in a whole month.

Any ideas or solution?

Hi Claymore and Community.

I'm switched from 8.0 to 9.3 and noticed that time of share accepted increased 2-3 times. And totally effected pool average hashrate.
See below, (dual-mining or single mode result the same):

Version 8.0
ETH: Share accepted (62 ms)!

Version 9.3
ETH: Share accepted (156 ms)!
ETH: Share accepted (172 ms)!

So, seems this affect hashrate and I lost around 10% in 24 hours period.

Any suggestion are welcome, thanks in advance.

Yes, I have also on v9.3 increased share submit time, from 31 to 70 ms on v9.0 to 150 ms and more on v9.3. Thats a huge step back, because it causes less accepted shares and huge drop on accepted hashrate on pool.
So I'm back on v9.0

(RX470 4GBs, RX480 4 and 8GBs, nanopool)

Also lots of ETH: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec....

Back to 9.0 is not a solution..... Need proper improvement or advice.

Lets hope Claymore read it and will find a solution.

I cannot confirm it, I see the same time. What CPU do you have and what CPU load do you see in Task Manager in "good" and "bad" versions?

On both version - v9.0 and v9.3 I have the same cpu usage on (latest G4560 3.5 GHz) about 1-2% overall cpu usage of whole system

Presently, running ver. 9.3 CPU load 8-15% CPU - Celeron G1840 @ 2.8 GHz (not able to test other version at this moment)
