but the miner makes one kernel.

why to run for each card when it justm akes 1 kernel file?

great guide i all ready did most of it . for sure don't over clock it's not need and test it with a modded bios mine have been running for 8 hours now with no errors or stopping at zero with modded bios, i found that using third party software with this software miner was a big issue , it's not needed any way this miner run things so cool the fan can run at all most any speed and not come close to over heating  .. and hes right trying to use the CPU at the same time with shit CPU's will drag down the GPU it does mine.  I have shit cpu not gonna replace them til next year now waiting for the new ZEN line due out next year form AMD they should rock with this coin , if it's still as good .


This about all i use in a bat

genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u zec address.RIGNAME -p z


everything needed is on by default some setting will actually make the GPU run worse or reset to defaults . they are mostly there for future use. and have fun testing or playing with  it kind of says that in the read me Genoil 0.5 now comes with.

You rock man , now the miner works for 20 min and no 0sol/s , i can`t beleive it! Thank you a lot!

i ill upload some start bats, you can try them all, Virus free ;P

hey nice thead, very well explained.  for those with nvidia you get can the nicehash miner

tried running your add on script but it wasn't working on my end.

Nvidia it is not supported by genoil yet

does this work with a nvidia 1080?

Thank you for your guide!!!!

no need to go with -g 0 then -g 1 etc if you have same cards, because it will create .bin on first run then on every other run it will just overwrite it.

Start Genoil first, and see your Sol rate, them start the cpu miner, if your gpu sol rate begins to drop, you have a weak cpu

Which CPU can be considered as weak? Is Athlon X2 @3.4 GHz enough or there should be some kind of old i7-920 for mining?

Well A lot of people are having a problem with genoil, so i will make things clear,
I have 6 rigs running, and dont have problem with any of them

Im using Flypool, Stable,pay right  and have a nice dashboard

Lets start from zero.

*Make a fresh windows 7/10 instalation (genoil works on both)
-If you dont want format your rig i recommend unistalling drivers using DDU and installing latest from amd

*Go in system -> advanced system configuration -> perfomance -> advanced, and change your virtual memory initial 10000 max 32768
- Click set after that, or it will not save.
- Dont forget to change power settings, or your pc will hibernate

*I recommend changing Bios to Stock , and all oc settings to stock, for testing and running (you can try changing them later)
*If you have a weak cpu, dont mine with it, or it will afect your gpu mining speed

*Download genoil 0.42, extract everything to a folder on your desktop
-create a start.bat
-First time is better to create a kernel for every Gpu at time so do the following using -g Command (0 is the first GPU)

Launch the start.bat after it begins to mine, close and start another gpu


Do it just changing the -g value From 0 to 5 ( or the number of gpus you have)

Nice!

Now lets start a test with everything together


If you have a cpu with integrated video, just use this (if you are geting no opencl devices error)


Now , if everything runs fine

change the bat file again, with this script, it ill close miner every hour (cause genoil sometime fails) and open again


So runs the start.bat it ill start genoil minimized

Profit

DONT FORGET TO CHANGE THE ZCASH ADRESS, OR U ILL MINE TO ME
Nice mining!

Start Bats (If you dont know how to make it) just put inside genoil folder
