This miner is more unstable than genoil.exe.

It stops mining and stops responding more than genoil. It does not even run for 5 minutes!  So my hashes never go above 58 plus when they should be around 121 H/s.

GPU 0: R9 280x (3GB) 43.x S/s
GPU 1: RX 480   (8GB) 44.x S/s
GPU 2: R9 380x  (4GB) 30.x S/s

Firstly, big thanks to Claymore for getting this great miner out to everyone!  I know you mentioned that you still expect you can get better rates down the road but I think I am not alone in appreciation for you publishing this version now so we can mine more efficiently than other options currently available!

I have only read about half of this thread so sorry if I am repeating anything here but I did have a few observations and questions that I wanted to post.

- I have 4 MSI RX 470 4GB (strap 1500 mod, overclocked, undervolted) averaging between 40-42 Sols/s each using your miner. This is a vast improvement over the 13 I was getting using nicehash the last few days, so really appreciate the extra sols!

- I noticed that the power draw for this miner is much lower than your ETH Dual Miner.  Even just solo mining ETH my rig was using ~625W at the wall, while your ZEC miner is only using between 400-450W!  This of course increased the profit margin over ETH mining even more, which is great, but I have a question about the power consumption.  Is it just that mining this coin is inherently less power-consuming than ETH?  Or, does the much lower power draw mean that there is still a lot more headroom to work towards increasing Sols/s even more?

- Finally, after running your ZEC miner stably for about an hour this morning, I launched nicehash miner to use only its CPU ZEC mining function. Unfortunately, almost right at launch, it cut the Sols/s rate in your miner by about 25% on each GPU.  Then after about 5 minutes, it crashed my system. Then crashed again after reboot, so I haven't tried it again.  This seems a bit weird to me since I have used other CPU/memory intensive programs like Claymore Crytponote CPU to mine XMR and plotting & optimizing BurstCoin plots on HDDs and neither affected your ETH GPU miner.

Normally, I wouldn't even bother about CPU but this rig has an i7-6800k that was pulling 23 S/s, which equates to more than half of a GPU, so I hate to waste it idly.  Anyone here been able to CPU mine ZEC with NH and GPU with Claymore successfully?



i7 3770 and 1x amd fury almost 11 hours stable now.. -t 6 ..win7 x64, 16.10.3 driver

~19 sols on cpu ~ 50 sols on gpu



You're using Nicehash for your ZEC CPU mining?

yes. nheqminer_v0.4b version

use the nheqminer.exe github download link at nicehash "getting started" page

a big thanks, that's a big speed improvement for me.

BTW, all my cards are pointing to suprnova and it seems fine so far.

now my 7950s are doing 37
two 7970s are doing 41
the other two 7970 may need some tweak as they are only doing 35....

Did you set your nicehash miner using -t 6 ? (6 = 6 threads)

Nope... thanks, I will give that a try and see what happens.  Out of curiosity, how exactly would you do that?  I know how to make that kind of change like in a .bat file (such as exists in Claymore's work) but I only see EXE and DLL files in the NHM directory.

I have around 60-65~ Sol's with my computer.

For now just 1 470 4gb nitro 42-48~ with claymore

and a 6600k 18-19~ with nicehash

running both together stable.

Will get 24 GPU's soon... letz see how it will roll then Cheesy

The 7950/7970/280x were always the best mining cards due to their large memory bandwidth.

If it wasn't for the DAG file in ETH they would still hash at 27MH/s.

During the Litecoin days they hashed at 80% of the speed of a 290 and cost only 60% of the price. They were forgotten with ETH mining but are now back and killing RX480s.


the easy answer for the RX480/ 470 owners your cards only have a 256-bit memory bus while the HD 7950/ 7970 & R9 280X have a 384-bit memory bus, so even with the slower memory they still have a greater bandwidth at 1750Mhz they bet  a Rx 480 at a clock of 2500Mhz in total bandwidth.
In addition the color compression, i.e. frame buffer, was also reduced in the Polaris cards it went from 64 to 32, so without the software being written to take advantage of the memory optimization, on the RX series the memory just isn't utilized as efficiently.

I get from 80-100 H/s with Genoil.

I can not get this miner to work at all with Suprnova!

Code:

This miner seems completely broken and started losing me money.  I get 0 H/s on Suprnova with this miner.

Great work!
Shares find are just amazing really with RXXX, but why does not it support HD 6XXX or 5XXX?

HD 6xxx and earlier, and a the low-number HD 7xxx series (7600 and lower IIRC) are Terrascale, NOT GCN, and require completely different coding.

 Same issue affects the A10 5800 and older APUs.

 HD 7750, 78xx, and 79xx were all GCN to my specific knowlage.

Actually, a restarting PC without a bluescreen usually means the PSU is at fault.


I couldnt find the original complaint within all of the quotes but yes, that is usually the issue.

Try using one card at a time.





pc keeps restarting, whats that normally from?

Thanks

Modded bios ?

No everything as defualt

Too weak PSU.

I only have 4 470 8gb and 1000w psu.....Everyone is saying they have 6 cards and only like 750w or is that only because of moded bios?


1000w psu doesnt give 1000w, it gives 80-90% usually. same with every psu. even if somebody says it has 6 cards and 750w psu, even if pc start, gpus won't mine.

in your case it possible that psu is really shitty, and it gives you even less than 80%, if not than search for problem in settings or elsewhere
had the same problem, just today change for a new psu also 1000w, but better one, works perfectly with 4 even 5 gpus rx 470.

try disconnect one gpu and run miner, if it runs, it is psu. to make sure it is not the disconnected gpu, connect it back and discconnect another one

1000W usually gives at least 1100-1150W from wall. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Its not his PSU.

Pulled apart my fan on cpu, hardly any heat sink but heat was around 40 - 60c ....

Any other idea of what you think it could be?

faulty hdd maybe? seems like its making some noise.

Also what motherboard, cpu and how much ram do you guys normally use? I need to get new parts anyway.

Thanks

I was gonna say it could be faulty ram, but typically if it's ram it just freezes or won't start at all. Does the event viewer say anything at all? You should be able to set the system so that it'll dump out to a log the next time it reboots. You'll have to google that because I can't remember where that setting's at. You can then go into the log and see what's causing the issue. Does it reboot when opening the mining software or just in general? If you go into Safemode does it reboot then? Could be a driver issue? You don't really need much ram I don't believe. I think I have 4 GB. I'm running Windows 10 with 3 RX480s and 2 RX470s and no issues at all. Have 32GB SSD drive and ASRock 6 PCIe motherboard.

I actually start the miner and after a few minutes it restarts my pc.

Thanks for the info man, i will look into everything and give it a go again.





Thanks I will give it a go.
