Topic: CPU mining with AMD ryzen threadripper 1950X (Read 571 times)

I'm mining ETN with my 1950x @ 3.9 GHz and with Claymore CryptoNote CPU Miner v3.9 I'm getting around 1000 h/s. I can't find if that's ok, but I was reading that some people on Monero were getting around 1200-1500 h/s. So I was wondering if my h/s is ok or I need to change something? I would like to try xmr-stak but I don't know how to set it up...

Thanks

hello @percy_tc

Thanks for your advices
XMRIG is good for the 1950X
I don't like the windows alert, but crypto software are often signalized as viruses

I get between 2800 and 3800 H/s on AEON algo. It depends on what other GPU softwares running and their cpu power needs

Here my best config

    "algo": "cryptonight-lite",  // cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite
    "av": 0,                // algorithm variation, 0 auto select
    "background": false,    // true to run the miner in the background
    "colors": true,         // false to disable colored output   
    "cpu-affinity": "0xFAAAAAAA",   // set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask "0x3" for cores 0 and 1
    "cpu-priority": 2,   // set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest)
    "donate-level": 1,      // donate level, mininum 1%
    "log-file": null,       // log all output to a file, example: "c:/some/path/xmrig.log"
    "max-cpu-usage": 85,    // maximum CPU usage for automatic mode, usually limiting factor is CPU cache not this option. 
    "print-time": 60,       // print hashrate report every N seconds
    "retries": 5,           // number of times to retry before switch to backup server
    "retry-pause": 5,       // time to pause between retries
    "safe": false,          // true to safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
    "threads": 18,        // number of miner threads
    "pools": [


Cpu-affinity is very important. I created a little javascript tool to manage it :

I will try during few next days XMR mining with this software (even if I don't like this money because of transaction fees too high).

Check that not something else is using your CPU (maybe minergate is running also). You have installed memory modules on all memory channels? I beleive 1950X is 4 channel memory so you need 4 modules at least to get maximum speed.

I tried aeon too, but not with xmrig

With my 1700X and 1300X hashrates are good (about 200MH/s per core)

But with 1950X, I get only about 100MH/s on first core.
If I activate 2 cores, I get 50+50 and so on, with only 100MH/s on total !

Config are not optimized for starting. I use only the proposal of xmr-stak for example...

Have you tried to mine AEON with xmrig?  Make sure you enable huge pages.

On my 1700x it uses 8 cores, AEON speed is about 1900Mh/s.

I'm curious about your speed.

If you post your settings and your hashrates somebody might be able to help you.

Hello All

After building some GPU rigs quite successfully (even if some GPU disappear sometimes on reboot), I would optimize CPU mining.

I have some issues with my 1950X.

The best cryptonight hashrate is obtained with minergate. It is the proof that I can optimize something.

Even with cpu-miner or xmp-stak (which are very efficient with i7 and ryzen 1700), I cannot get better hashrate with X threads than with only one.

Do you have some advice for me ?

Thanks
