Hi guys ! Correct me if Im wrong. If i see 1100 watt from the wall on my wattmeter , so on 80+ Standard PSU its 1100*0.8=880 power load of PSU. And its good enough for PSUs working conditions (1000Watt Chieftech)?
I mean its about 85% of its full load.

Right ?

If you have a 1000W PSU how can you see 1100 at the wall? Something is wrong...

The 80+ standard is a measure of efficiency. No PSU will deliver 100% of its nominal output, 10~20% is lost in heat.

Therefore, a 1000W PSU will only deliver ~800W within a limited range of loads, and not at full load. Got it?

A 1000W PSU will never "suck" 1100w from the wall....



That is not correct.
See here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-ax1500i-titanium-power-supply,4276-4.html

"Load Regulation And Efficiency Measurements
The first set of tests reveals the stability of the voltage rails and the PSU's efficiency. The applied load equals (approximately) 10 to 110 percent of the maximum load the supply can handle, in increments of 10 percentage points...... 1500W PSU Output - 1549.07W, efficiecny -89.04%, PSU input 1739.84W ......"

A very unstable situation with windows 10 on version 9.0, 9.2 is even worse. The latest version of Windows can only support the driver 17.1.2. The video cards periodically drop one by one from 28-29 to 19-22mh / s and the next line is restored. As a result, a loss of up to 5% per day on chaotic jumps. Up to 28MHs this is a little overclocking and everything should work fine. I think there is a request to track the work on the driver 17.1.2 and make friendly changes for stable operation.AMD driver 17.1.2 is the last key driver for mining in the development of windows 10 for modified polaris. The rest, above, cause an increase in the work of the "system interrupt" processor. The rest, below, have an increased energy consumption during mining.

Do you have proof for "The rest, below, have an increased energy consumption during mining." How big is  difference?

I think Claymore did a wonderful job on this one.
At first i did get a decrease from 165Mh to 140-ish with dual ETH-DCR.
Then i played with it and got back up. Seems like the software is becoming more and more advanced, thus "needy"
These settings worked for me:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x3ba6Bec13899d67c4B9c37230bCd49dB822A6b35.minerx -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://decred.eu.nicehash.com:3354 -dwal 36PoLAKNUiYdUz22BuKDxBorSp2j1C7G9H.minerx -dpsw x -esm 1 -mode 0 -tt 70 -asm 0

Running 6x RX470 OCd
core voltage -30mv Core 1100MHz Mem clock 1950MHz (Using MSI Afterburner)


By ASM -0 you disabled one the main features of 9.2..
Where is your DCRI value? What is it?

Hi

I recently started using Claymore  Cheesy  

I run Kaspersky on my PC as it is not just a mining station.  I have been forced to pause Kaspersky when running Claymore as it prevents Claymore from opening.  My PC defaults to Windows Defender and I have set exclusions to allow Claymore to run.

Is there a work around so I can keep Kaspersky running.  I have added the Claymore folder to my exclusions list in Kaspersky but this is not working.  Perhaps there is another setting I am missing?

Any help appreciated.

Best,



You can setup exclusions on Kaspersky as well.

This is the activity of my miners:



The Yellow one is the only one on 9.1 and Eth Only

What are the other colors for?

I've tested v9.2 about 12 hours. My accepted hashrate on pool (ETH mining only, asm 1) dropped about 15 MHs Sad So I switched back to v9.0 and voila, I'm back on my hashrate...

What about 9.1? Is 9.0 better hashrate than 9.1 also?

v9.0 seems to be the best for me at the moment.

9.1 and 9.2 with ASM -1 suppose to use less power. What are your observations in that regard? I did notice about 1-2% reduction.

Hey Guys,

Need help on Dual mining.

I want to dedicate my miner as 75% for Ether and 25% for other alts. Please guide how to do the same.

Everything you need to know about Dual mining is covered in the first post of this thread. Go to Page 1.

Couple questions on my first RX 470 series build. What is the recommend driver people are finding most stable for this miner?

I installed 16.9.2 but W10 did it's auto install of 16.6. Since their installed I'm gonna to do some testing anyway. I've had one TDR VIDEO BSOD with these drivers. I was playing with afterburner alot while mining, so who knows.

Hey guys,
hopping is the right place to ask
one question please ...
found a few articles where is saying that Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX 480 4GB or 8GB - is the best option for Ethereum mining.
Is that correct?
lets suppose I have electricity for 0$.
thanks!

thank you very much for your help.
Did you re-sign driver after updated it?
Each time you update drivers, you will need to re-sign driver. (whole proccess again)

Whatever improvements Claymore has made, whatever bugs fixed.
My miner use to crash like twice in an hour and sometimes 6 times in an hour.
I even ordered new pci powered risers instead of molex ones. But

Now running stable for more than 2 hours with v9.2! No hardware changes at all.
There is definitely some big fix, atleast for me.

Hashrate has gone stable, no big fluctuations at all on asm mode with dual mining eth+dcr

I am loving this version.
Thank you Claymore once again for such a quick update.

100% agree!  Prior to release of 9.2, I had 3 6x470 rigs trying to mine ETH+DRC.  2 ran fine with very few crashes but hashrate flux was all over the place. the 3rd rig would only run for maybe 2-3 hours tops, and that was with -dcri 16!  Now, since installing 9.2, that 3rd rig has been up 24 hours straight and all 3 rigs are actually getting better overall actual average hashrate because the fluxing issue has been resolved.  On this note, I would urge those that are complaining about a 2-3% PERCEIVED drop with 9.2 to look at your ACTUAL results in your pool vs 9.1 or 9.2.  My ETH trend line is at or above what it was before and my DCR payout frequency is better as well because there appear to be a lot fewer bad DCR shares when digging into the log files.

My next test will be to start moving up -dcri a bit on all 3 rigs but the BIG test is going to be trying 9.2 on my 4th rig (4x470). That one has not been able to dual mine ETH+DCR for some unknown reason for several weeks, despite plenty of headroom wattage wise.  My suspicion is that one of the GPUs is more sensitive to the harder work of dual mining than the other 3 (this has been a problem GPU that can only be OC'd to 1850 max).  However, I think the issue with the 3rd rig was similar because that ran dual for 24+ hours when i only had 4 GPUs hooked up to it.  Hoping 9.2 will do its magic on that 4 card rig as well!

Thanks again Claymore! Great job on this update!

I'm sick to death of my miner crashing.  I have six rx 470 8gb sapphire cards and it can run ok for days, then locks up.  Then I have to restart it about 10-20 times because I constantly get the message "Ethdcrminer64.exe has stopped working".  Then I go into GPUZ and see that one of the cards is not reporting data fully.  After 10 restart or so it starts working again, and I get a few more days mining,  sometimes less.

What could be causing this?  All cards are cool, well ventilated running at 74 degrees contant.  this issue is really pissing me off now. All parts are relatively high quality,   EVGA power supply etc.

I am running win 10 64 bit

remove and reseat everything. run memtest86 overnight.

all vbios stock?

No I modded them for extra mining capabilities and it worked well for a while but now it's crashing a lot.  I am sick to death of the "Dcrethminer64.exe has stopped working" error.


Check gpu-z for cards with Hynix ram lol.

GPUZ reports the ram as 8gb samsung.   But sometimes certain bits of data are missing from the gpuz report on one card or another.  Can't remember exactly which bits of data, they are usually blank.  When you see that you know without doubt claymore is going to crash.  But sometimes it still crashes when GPU is reporting everything is OK on all cards.  It's a shame because if this carries on I will have to sell up.  I just ROI'd thanks to the ethereum price shooting up but I wanted to run it for a year or so.   It is taking up so much time now and I cannot nail down the issue(s).

Do you check the PCIE riser? GPU also draw power from motherboard through PCIE.

Well I have unplugged the power connector then plugged it back in, I don't know how else I can check it. What I can't understand is how can the risers be malfunctioning all of a sudden after days of mining?  The miner doesn't move, the GPU's are secure.  How can they work for days, then fail, then after a few restarts begin working again.  There is no logic there unless I am missing something.

I have set up Claymore and have made a Coinomi Ethereum wallet.  I have entered my Coinomi Ethereum wallet hex key into Claymore .bat file behind -ewal.

Is this OK or should I be using Ethereum Mist wallet?  I'm new so please forgive my noobish tendencies.

Hi Claymore, thanks for your work.

I believe I found a bug on Ethman

I would like to use the http address of a PC instead of the IP address when adding the miner to ETHman

Now, on the "Add Miner" window, when I write the http address as in "http://subdomain.domainname.com" the software strips out the "http://" part and add "http//" without the colon, hence is not working (I see that if I click on "view miner console").

Even if I input the http address without the http:// bit, as in "subdomain.domainname.com" it still doesn't work/update but if I right click and choose "view miner console" it direct the browser to the correct subdomain and the stats shows fine on the website but on the Ethman windows it shows nothing and the miner is shown in red.

Could you please shed some light on why this is happening? Is it a bug or is http not meant to be used / not working straight into ETHman? :/
