@NiceHashSupport let me being first of saying awesome miner fastest one yet ... so I thank-you..

This may interest the development team for this software..I found a bug when using AMD graphics card ( Driver 17.5.1) 7950 MSI card on windows 7.

Whenever I start the default bat file "excavator+web+restart_script.bat" or "start-admin.bat" in the AMD folder ( after turning off signature and on) .. I lose total control of my Graphics card fan speed... If try to adjust with MSI afterburner it will continuously down clock my fan speed. No matter what I try Excavator keeps returning it to unsafe levels in my opinions for my setup. I looked in each bat file trying to see if can i find what commands are controlling my fan speed to no avail.

If I can help in anyway with debugging please let me know...

Thank-you
Modus

I use "ethermine-stratum-cuda" bat file and I just put my adress there

where can I find that bat file ?

Hello guys. I have 6x 1060 palit 6gb. I am making 145mh/s total with +900 memory and 70 power limit. I heard that those cards with this miner could make 30mh/s per card. What setting do I have to use to acomplish that speed?

I have 4 rigs with 1060 cards evga gigabyte and zotac.

I can tell you that this card 30mh can't do it.
The max they can do is 24.7 which mine do.

+100 core
+65 tdp
+880 memory
I get 24.7 with ethminer mod and excavator with nicehash 2.0.0.8

And i get 24.5 with claymore but i get errors sometimes

Btw if i would use excavator without gui interface which is the .bat file to create with 6x 1060gtx cards? Thanks

I use "ethermine-stratum-cuda" bat file and I just put my adress there

ok thanks. anyway nicehash 2.0.0.8 is better
my 6x 1060 mining at 147mh with 2.0.0.8 while with excavator they mine at 132 mh

is there a way to restart Excavator every 6 hours?

Put quit command in, timed to execute after 6 hours. Combine with autorestart script and you have it.

Like this?:
~~{"time":21600, "commands":[quit]}~~
{"time":21600,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"quit","params":[]}

Hello, my friend said with me that: nicehash don't receive hashrate from Iberlink X11 10800Mhs, it 's right?

Wondering, does excavator work on other pools or is it locked to nicehash? With profits dropping, I am thinking about mining coins that I want to hold for a while.

daggerhashimoto is only supported on nicehash and suprnova, other algorithms should work fine on any other pool

Are you using overclock on the memory?

yes, I do.
core 100 and memory 800 power limit 70, but I have MCU load at 60% dunno if should be 100%

What brand and type of GPU are you using.
I'm using a EVGA 1070 SC. But with 600 mhz plus on the memory I got artifacts.
It has Micron chips on it.

My 1060 cards with Samsung memory work flawless with +850 memory, and those without not more than +600 stable.

I will try it with 550 Mhz. Thanks.

I used to use EWBF miner and got 320 SOL on each of my 1060 instead of getting 285 SOL using excavator, but I had a massive issues in stability in it and it crashes frequently even in stock settings, so I switched to excavator, low SOLs but running stable now for more than three days which has never happened with EWBF..

As far as EWBF restart is almost instant (no DAG generation). Then it is no problem just to kill process once in every XX minute.
330-340Sols instead of 290 is 10-15% extra.

hi,
for first awesome project, but I have small problem
I got stable 140 Mh/s with ethereum but with zec I have only 1500 h/s any idea why ?
I have 6x 1060

Hi, are you using 2 workers per card (you have 6 cards, so 12 workers total), also did you overclock the core ?

hi, yes I have two workes and overcloked mem, but still I got the same speed, while overclocking did gave me a burst on eth it did not on equihash

Memory overclocking doesn't really do much for equihash, its the core speed that matters the most.
This might be a far fetched idea, but have you checked your P-State ? (you can do that with nvidia inspector).
What is the hashrate you expected from the cards that you have?
Friend of mine is running an overclocked 1060 with 100W tdp limit, it hashes around 270 h/s for him.

Memory overclocking does quite a lot for equihash, just use GPU-Z and see that it uses memory. Also 1060(samsung) can do 320 sols on EWBF.
