I have 4 cards installed in an open case, so there is not much room to breathe Sad

I'm on manual fan control because on auto the temp goes all the way up to 90°C...

Between 80-85°C

There is something wrong with your card or you do not have adequate cooling. Mine never go over 74C and Im clocked higher than you. Are you controlling your fan or are you leaving it to the card to control?

How many hw errors are ok for a 7970? I currently have 0,17% (52/29410) hw errors, card running overclocked (1125 Mhz) and undervolted (1100 mV).
Everything running stable for >2 days now.

Significant errors like that is insane. Set stock clocks and volts and see if it still does it, if it does its a driver bug, if it doesn't, you overclocked too far. You shouldn't see more than 1 or 2 HW errors per 10k shares give or take, if it starts skyrocketing you went too far.

With stock clock/voltage I now have 10/1738 hw errors... so still way too much. What does this mean now? I'm using the latest driver (12.2 pre-cert), latest DM, Windows 7 32-bit.

Can I ignore the hw errors and just live with a higher reject rate or is there something I should/can/must do?

What GPU temp?

DiabloMiner-Linux noob question, sorry if it's been asked, but I couldn't find anything anywhere on this forum or google regarding this error. I downloaded python-jsonrpc and ran setup.py, installed the SDK and drivers, etc, when I run Diablo I get this:

DM isn't written in python.

Did I screw up and forget to install something important?

Hrm, dunno. It shouldn't do that. I wonder if slush screwed something up with his pool.

Mine are at 1.006v 1160/1000

If you get HW errors like that I think your volts might be too low.

I think this is correct, if you tweak it I'm pretty sure it should sit at 0 hw errors (I haven't had any)

Hi all,
I've searched the thread, but came up with nothing...
My desktop PC has 2 GPUs: an Nvidia GTX480 as my primary work and gaming card, and a brand new Radeon 7970, just for mining.
I'd like to just run diablo on the 7970, and have it ignore the 480.
Is there a command line switch for this?
Please keep in mind that I'm really new at mining and configuring miners, so please spell it out as though you were explaining it to your granny.

Thanks,
Elmojo

Use -D, it counts starting 1 not 0. So most likely you want -D 1 (assuming your 7970 is listed first at startup, -D 2 otherwise).

Edit: Heh, someone beat me to it Wink

To specify a specific card you can use the -D option and add a number at the end. This number will always be the same afaik as long as you dont remove/install cards.

For example:

DiabloMiner-Windows.exe -u user -p password -o pool.address.com -r port(e.g. 8337) -v 2 -D 2

Where 2 would be the number for your mining card. Since you have 2 cards, it could be either 1 or 2. Diablo tells you what card it's found and is going to use so trial and error will get you what number you need to put there.

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for.

I've been using DiabloMiner for months on Windows, but I wanted to try it on mac (10.7) with a 6750M. I downloaded the newest version and cd'd the directory. Using slush,
So I type ./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh -u username -p password -0 api.bitcoin.cz -r 8332 -w 64

It opens and starts to run
Started
Connecting to :http..api2.bitcoin.cz:8332
Using Apple OpenCL 1.1 (Jul 25 2011 time)
Added ATI Radeon HD 6750M.......

But then it will say ERROR: Cannot connect to api2.bitcoin.cz connect time out

I have checked the password and user name several times, even created a new worker.
Is the OpenCL up to date? All I can find are .exe files for OpenCL and SDK upgrades.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This isn't a miner bug, are you sure slush's pool isn't actually down?

I know the miner is working, and Slush was not down. But how do I know the SDK or OpenCL is up to date for it to run correctly. The only other option is that somehow the port is blocked.

You cant control OpenCL on OSX, its up to Apple there.

However, the error you pasted only happens when it cant connect. It has nothing to do with the rest of the miner.

Is there a way to use optimal settings for both VLIW and GCN without running two instances of DiabloMiner?

No, not yet.
