I decided to give dwarfpool a try for ZEC since other pools were showing a lot less hash than my miners were producing. It has been about 24 hours of testing and the results are rather dramatic. Rigs tested averaged ~1080 sol/s shown in Claymore.........on coinmine.pl I was paid for ~830 sol/s.......at dwarfpool I got paid for ~1100 sol/s. Dwarfpool FTW!

Does Dwarfpool offer a U.S. node? I was considering moving my rigs there myself.

Yes, there .bat setup is different from the ETH pool there, so I'll post a sample .bat........

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -wd 1 -r 0 -i 8 -zpool zec-us1.dwarfpool.com:3336 -zwal t1cPySgKnxaW85tPLJX5nrRXoMiyeMRDX5h.PC -zpsw -allpools 1

You're not going to catch these spikes at the wall. Use Corsair link if you have that PSU's and you can see it easily.
Some people have reported HWINFO catches it as well but i haven't tested that.

I have RM1000 and downloaded Corsair Link

where I can see those spikes?

Same problem here.. But the interesting thing is that I don't experience this random reboot on all of my rigs. I use default intensity (-i 6) on all rigs and tried to set it lower on the crashed rigs.. it didn't help. All rigs are built with the same hardware: 6*RX470 with 1600W Enermax PSU.

Same here. I even set the intensity to 3 or 4, there are still reandom boots. I have to reduce the frequency, that solve the problems.

Anyone having these Power Spikes/Shutdowns with Tahiti GPUs?

I monitored mine at the wall, and the power was constant the entire time. It never went more than 5% off from the average wattage.

Don't have any issues however I got like 2000 Watts of PSU power, powering only 5x 280x since I needed the extra PCIe plugs.

Maybe its only with the RX series, however for those its not worth the switch since ETH is just as profitable at the moment.

Just to share what I've been observing with the "power spikes" and HWINFO64. Spikes seem to occur every 5-6 polling intervals (time = 100ms)

V9 (Intensity 8 ):

Fury Nitro:

I have the R9 Nano. The GPU will have flucuate between 0% to 100% power all the time, and then it crashes.

My Nano rigs got the greatest boost from v9 but some of them went as high at 350H/s then died.... died as in gone from device manager -- so hard reboot and reduced the intensity to 4. Some Nanos wre still coping at i=6

I think the "maximal" that Claymore uses the i=7 and i=8 to give that 1% additional boost -- maybe causing the spikes. I can only imagine he may be exploring deeper into the power architecture to get that extra boost.

i=6 is safe zone for me and I will set this as the gold standard for v9, else i=4 then i=0 -- last resort v8.

v8 is , IMHO, the most stable version of all. Well to be fair, v9 is labeled BETA.... Grin

I don't always drink...

Interesting problem that has shown up in 3 of my 280x rigs with 4 GPUs each: Out of 8 rigs, 3 of them have had the first GPU (as displayed by Claymore's Ethereum Dual Miner Manager 2.5), actually GPU 2, go up to about 325 Sol/s with errors in red. This did not happen until about 22-24 hours after release of the V. 9.0 beta. Restarting the miner software results in 0.00, obviously. Using Device manager disable/enable resets it and it works again. Any idea what is happening?

I set these rigs to run cool with undervolt to 1125, 1000/1500, i 4.

Anybody else experience this?

Living the dream

I also have two RX480s and I am experiencing sudden power spike issue on v9. It happens randomly, however it causes system to restart. There was no such problem on v8. My PSU is Corsair 1200W (gold).

Yea. The spikes are quite real.

One of my pc's has a 730w psu powering a rx 480 and a 280x. This combination has been running stable for months without problems (even eth/sia dual mining). A few minutes ago, the pc rebooted and said "a power surge was detected - press F1 to continue". There is nothing else running on the system except claymore v9.

there are crashes often leading upto the donation mining portion of mining which makes me wonder if some dual mining mechanism isnt triggered during the donation period which is more taxing on the system.

how old is your power supply? did it you manage tog et up and running again without issue?

My PSU is new (Thermaltake SmartSE 730W). System is running again - stable so far.
Mainboard, CPU and RAM are new too.

My farm is littered with older gpu's so i share an evga supernova between multiple rigs on the 6/8pin side of the gpu's and leave the risers and gpu0 powered fully by psu plugged into the motherboard (usually around 500 watt)

I have yet to experience any spikes that would take my system down but my motherboards are mainly higher end (but outdated) asus which may increase my immunity to this phenomenon.

Some of those with the solely next gen gpu's may benefit from this strategy also if spikes continue to result in a power flutter.

All u with psu problems, test ur equipment with eth+sia dualmining, if that doesnt hold, ur system is just underdimensioned.

Best you start rereading the posts the when v9 was released so you actually understand what people are complaining about.

I've read them spike issues, thing is, software makes components work within its limits and so far czm used less than max power, now as i understand there are short periods of time that max is used and weak systems fail.

This power spiking issue.... is it for all cards or only happening in RX480, 470 cards?

Some of my 390s and RX480s already on v9 and still holding strong.

Most of the Nano rigs no issues with the v9.

All my rigs are on 1000w (4xGPUs) 1300w (5xGPUs) and 1600w EVGA-G2s (5xGPUs and 6xGPUs).

Quote from: citronick on December 08, 2016, 07:48:41 AM

Some of my rigs crashes more with v9 maximum intensity so had to reduce intensity or revert back to v8 as last resort.

Some of the stronger rigs (bigger PSU, etc) are hashing perfectly with v9.

One of my R9-Nanos hit 350H/s with maximum intensity but power went up too.

I dont mind this mix and match of v8 and v9 under the solid Ethman.

The total hash for my small farm is beyond my expectations -- thanks to Claymore hardwork.

I can only conclude that Claymore's has reached peak of the Everest with v9.....

.... OR is there a v10 coming beyond the horizon?

There are new drivers, called Radeon ReLive. Anyone tested it with Claymore?

yes I've tested it. It gave extra 0 zero hashes for me, but it fucked up everything. gputweak is not working and my memclock is now underclocked somehow.
