Bad idea for RX series.

Funny, so I've installed windows on one rig, Win 10 Pro, especialy for Claymore 8 and my 480's and like 10 years go, Win freezes completely on a random basis Smiley


 Just one of the many reasons serious miners prefer LINUX.
Why, cause "Linux doesn't freeze"?

 1) LINUX is infinitely more stable than Windows (which isn't saying much).
     I have LINUX machines that have run with no outages (hardware failure, shut down to physically MOVE the machine, and power outages excluded) since before Windows XP EXISTED - literally.
     The only Windows machine I've EVER had go a year without crashing was a NT 3.51 SP5 machine - vs MORE THAN 20 YEARS for some of my LINUX machines that were running the same user programs.

 2) If you have a power outage, your miner running under Windows won't restart when power comes back on 'till you LOG IN MANUALLY (I have yet to see any miner program that could be run a a service).
     LINUX makes it easy to set up so the miner will restart automatically after a power outage.


 IMO the only thing Windows has going for it are that the overclock/fan control programs available for it like Afterburner are a lot better.


This leads me to belive that you have used windows for less then a day...

eth uses too much power compared to zec so for me
its basically a wash still i think diff will drop as the greedy farms move back to eth

what are you guys doing with the mined ZEC?
keep them in zec or exchange to BTC



They are so low now so keep them.  Tongue

my idea too Cool
You guys realize you are not fooling anyone here.  Tongue

2)
netplwiz
run - shell:startup ( you can run whatever You want after power outage ).

No manual logon required.

Just for information..

So you have 20 years of practice and still haven't learned to use search engines? Or linux aces who never update their machines never update their brain content too?
2) BitMoose and/or built in Task Scheduler


Warning: Enable Automatic logon only if you are the sole user of your computer.Your password helps keep your account secure, no matter what PC you sign in to or what apps, settings, and services you use while you're signed in.



1. Right click on Start and select Run, type Netplwiz and then press Enter key.

2. In the resulting User Accounts dialog, select your user account first and then uncheck the option labelled Users

    must enter a user name and password to use this computer. Click Apply button to see Automatically sign in

    box.

3. In the Automatically sign in dialog, type your password and then re-enter the password to confirm the same.

4. Click on OK to save the changes.

5. Restart your PC to see your Windows 10 automatically logging into your account without asking you to enter the password.



Put shortcuts for batch files you use to start your miners in this directory : C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

use a timeout command as first line in batch file so windows can get fully loaded and stable before miner is started > like this

timeout 120

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100



ZecMiner64.exe -zpool us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal your t address.worker name -zpsw z ( any command variables you use )


this way if windows restarts for any reason it will log in automatically and start mining after the timeout # of seconds

6x 480 give me average 1250 h/s
208 - 210 h/s each

And I am not the only one...

which settings?
I have 480 OC 8gb and getting about 202 h/s, but i think to much W from the wall - 160W!
gpu clock 1410
memory clock 2020


Your consumption is very high

Hello,
Pray for some help on the following problem!
What this means, fence in the red rectangle?

........................................................................

It appears occasionally and stop digging. It is very unpleasant because it can occur after 15 minutes, but can also be done after 3 hours?
How do I solve this problem? If it is important that the intensity is 6.
Thanks!

More volt and/or lower intensity needed.

This only applies to GPU 0 or all 6 cards?

Just for GPU0. Virtual memory doesnt help.
It's the riser. I can tell you. What VER riser is it you use on GPU 0?

The version of risers that use of all cards is ver 006!

Please be patient, now it takes a lot of time to improve speed.
As I said before, it's possible to get good speedup but don't expect 30-50% speedups anymore and new versions every day, main speed racing is over.


So will you drop 9.0 today?  Roll Eyes

If its not a secret, what card types get more boost? 280X, 290/390, RX series?

Hi Claymore,

Diff keeps on increasing.... need speed esp those RX480s badly.

Are you releasing v9 anytime soon?

Thanks


Claymore:  I have noticed that ZEC is less profitable over ETH right now.  We will need an upgrade to stay more profitable over ETH.

Do you have any estimations as to the next release?  Thanks for great skills in programming.  Your programs always work!  


P.S. Has AMD contacted you / you contacted AMD about their new RX 490 Announcement and Launching on December 12th?  
This would be a great opportunity to get an advanced GPU sent to you for evaluation!
The thing is, if he can't (he probably can, just saying this IF) then ETH will be the most profitable coin unless zec mining can get faster.
ZEC uses less power then ETH mining (atleast on Polaris), so it's still better then ETH atm.

GPU0 Needs a replacement PCI riser more than likely.
I second this, i had GPU 1 open CL hang errors... I got another riser and all is well and stable.
