I just started with two 7950's and they both start out strong around 200 sol/s but then GPU0 drops to around 150 sol/s. I'm pretty sure GPU0 is the one connected to a monitor. I tried disconnecting it and plugging a dummy plug into GPU 1 and none of that seemed to help.
I've had clocks at 1050/1500 and various combinations of cclock while leaving memclock at 1500
I've tried a few different -i settings.
I also tried changing voltage settings based on some previous thread inputs: -cvddc 1140 -mvddc 1150 Again, it started strong around 200 sol/s on GPU 0 but then gradually decreased back to the 150 sol/s range.
I don't think my bios supports vddc changes. I can see the clocks changing but not the volts.
Both GPU temps are at 55C
Any ideas on how to keep GPU 0 up around 200 sol/s?
Try to set -powlim 20
I tried that earlier with -powlim 10 and it was crashing. I'm trying again now with -powlim 20 and it's not crashing... yet. I'll watch it for a bit and update if it is working. Thank you.
Edit: It seems to be working now I'll just update here rather than make another post...
My computer started freezing again with -powlim 20 and 1050/1500 clocks set. Here's what I did after that: uninstalled Radeon Settings and Microsoft Onedrive. I also removed everything from startup except my bat file to start the miner. After that, I removed the cclock and mclock settings and only left the -powlim 20 setting. It has been running for about 15 minutes now around 200 sol/s each GPU. I think that Radeon Settings program may have been the culprit or it could be something altogether and it will start failing again. For now it's working.
Another weird thing is that the clock settings reverted to 1050/1500 as shown in GPU-Z even though i removed that from the bat file. Oh well, I hope it hold up. Thanks again for your support grand96. Hopefully I'm not back in a few hours with another crash report ><
Another Edit: I'll just edit this since no one replied to it... I don't like replying to my own post...
Sooo... It failed again. I tried running it again at -powlim 20 and it failed immediately. I don't understand why it would run for hours and then fail like this. I tried lowering the -powlim value to 18 and that was no help. I tried upping it to 25 and it is now running again but it keeps posting an error message, "Failed to set new Power Control treshold (sic) for GPU #0" and likewise for GPU1. But... it does seem to be working again. My temps are on the rise it seems, 55/61 Celsius now.
