Thank you Claymore for all the hard work you have been putting in

Edit: food for thought
(6 x 290ref = 1707s/s @ 1505watts) -50 1000/1125 1.13
(6 x 290ref = 1562s/s @ 1285watts) -75 900/1125 1.2


Looking for a great modded rom for my 290ref.  Can you point me in the right direction to the one you used?

Hello guys, I hope you are all doing well.

I come to you to ask for some help because of a problem with the miner. The point is that I have 6 r9 390 cards. I am mining eth but I wanted to mine zcash for a while but, as soon as I run the zcash miner the system crashes or the screen just turns black and the miner crash. The rig mines eth, etc and xmr without any problem, but after the 9.2 upgrade the Zcash mining is a problem. Any suggestion to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Have a great day you all.

I can help you. But you must tell me when miner crash. You can try -i 3 (if not crash add +1 if still crash -1). You can too load gpu randomly to prevent high power peak (You have 6x300W=1800W rig).  Mb thats help. You must try.

GPU - 9.1 -> 9.2
R7 370 - 155 -> 156
R9 280 - 195 -> 193
r9 290 - 295 -> 313

What's your settings for 290?

1050/1250, -i 8, modded 390X ROM, modded timings

1175mV core (just 69% ASIC) and 16.12.1 driver

So on 290 (not x) using 390x mod?

Yep.
No rocket science, just great work by Insan1tyOne http://www.overclock.net/t/1564219/modded-r9-390x-bios-for-r9-290-290x-updated-02-16-2016
However, if you want to run it 100% stable @190W at wall with such hashrate, it will take some time. With better ASIC would be easier of course. Probably can do a bit over 320H too, but I do not consider it before winter gets colder here Smiley


Thanks I used the same but not yet 290x on 290 and was getting 287 Smiley. Which driver u use?

Latest, 16.12.1.
Using these ROM-s as is will probably give you just about what you said. With extra timings mod on top of them you will get more.

I have no improvement with Claymore 9.2
Both HD7950 cards are running at around 200H/s.

Another news: due to a lot of requests I got, finally I reconsidered my plans about Linux version, I will release it in a couple of days.

This is great news. I installed a dualboot system so I could use your version to mine Zcash. I've had trouble with other miners. If you do this, back to Linux it is for me!

Question. Why running your xmr CPU miner affects the performance of your zcash miner? Not enough physical memory? What do you think? The GPU miner uses only about 2% of cpu
Set the xmr process to low priority, and zcash to above normal.  ZCash doesn't need a lot of CPU, but if it has to fight for it, it will slow it down.

Tried that doesn't work. Ty anyway

And if changing priorities like xeridea said does not help enough, use less threads for xmr. -1 at a time until it does not affect zec.
You may also set affinity on both that zec has a dedicated core and rest of them are for xmr

i m asking because

in dwarf after 100 minutes

Current balance 0.0000 ZEC

Any 16.9 through 16.11 driver should work.  If driver checks bios, it will fail 100% of the time and never work.

If it works sometimes, then check PSU, voltages, clocks, and temps.

Your clocks/volts should be fine, you can try lowering intensity, or using 8.0, or Ethereum.

Also, try reseating cards in risers, or swap risers.

I think my board is problem (Asrock Z97 fatal1ty killer), or just last PCIe x1 slot, now conected 1-5 and last one (6) left free (before it was second free, x16). And all working for now.

Someone share plz nums. of giga rx 470 4gb. Am i only one getting 210 from it  Huh

My Rig With 3xGiga RX470 4GB showing 205 / 220 / 210

All cards are:
GPU 1200mhz - 1000mV
Memory 1650mhz - 950mV
-25mV offset

16.9.x to 16.11.x, other drivers check bios signature, resulting in error 43 in device manager.  Only issue for modded bios though.

Using 16.11.5, tried 16.10.3 and now will try 16.9.2... always got exclamation mark on one of card
