That's really weird; try

Code:

--auto-gpu --gpu-engine 950-1050,950-1180 --temp-cutoff 80,80 --temp-overheat 70,70 --temp-target 50,50 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 50-95,50-95

In the second GPU

better to convert this:
--auto-gpu --gpu-engine 950-1180,950-1050 --temp-cutoff 80,80 --temp-overheat 70,70 --temp-target 50,50 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 50-95,50-95

but, at a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius (- temp-target 50,50) fans to spin at once to the maximum - 95% (- gpu-fan 50-95,50-95)
and only MSI Afterburner resets to default settings.

fans control with MSI Afterburner looks better
if running the MSI Afterburner after GUIMiner-scrypt - all extra flags turns off

Hello Tacotime, on Windows 8 I have this problem of trying to save my current settings, I had exact same thing with guiminer for Bitcoin.

What happens is whenever I press save button nothing happens afterwards so none of my settings save. When I tried doing other way by right clicking on guiminer icon in tray and pressing close in the windows pop-up it asks if I want to save my settings I press yes and nothing happens, the program doesn't close either.

Try running as administrator, it may be a security feature

You may also need to edit permissions on the C:\Users folder as this person did for Program Files http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprogeneral/thread/7b3ada32-181d-4c55-9259-ee44f5f83b82/

I tried this before, gave my self full controll, tried running under administrator but still nothing. Reading that thread didn't solve problem. I guess I will be reinstalling windows soon anyways see if it helps

if I write in extra flags for worker 1:
--auto-gpu --gpu-engine 950-1050 --temp-cutoff 80 --temp-overheat 70 --temp-target 50 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 50-95 --device 0
and write in extra flags for worker 2:
--auto-gpu --gpu-engine 950-1180 --temp-cutoff 80 --temp-overheat 70 --temp-target 50 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 50-95 --device 1

then the second worker overrides settings the first worker and settings for both cards are:
--auto-gpu --gpu-engine 950-1180 --temp-cutoff 80 --temp-overheat 70 --temp-target 50 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 50-95

removal extra flags --device 0 and --device 1 does not change anything

MSI Afterburner also changes all settings at startup.

how to configure each video card separately?

and extra flags --auto-fan --gpu-fan (50-95) at shutdown worker do not dump the fan settings by default, and continue to work at maximum speed - 95
only MSI Afterburner resets to default settings.

Tacotime,

Last time I had installed Windows 7 x64 and done -all- of the Windows updates before trying to run the miners. This time, I've installed Windows 7 x86 and haven't done any Windows Updates yet (this is the only part of the process that has differed from the previous time).

I'm currently doing the Windows updates and will attempt the miners again. If this doesn't fix the problem, then I think the problem might be x86 vs. x64 in Windows?

Like I said, in x64 I could run 21712 or 24000 no problem. I have 16GB of RAM and the cards only total up to 15GB (3GB per card), so it shouldn't be a problem there. I'll check back after the updates are done and let you know what happens. If it doesn't fix it, I'm going back to x64 and will report back again after that. Gonna track down the problem one way or another!!

Oh. That's the problem, x86 only supports 3.5 GBs of RAM.

It should be noted that mirror1 links to version .03 and mirror2 links to v .02.

I forgot to change the version by accident, the build is of ver 0.03 right now though. I think I wrote the update at like 2AM after being awake for a day and a half.

Anyway, a lot of people are getting this "-5" error lately and I've got no idea what's causing it exactly.

What is strange is the first time I had this same version of Windows, GPUs, drivers, etc installed, I had no problem running cgminer inside of GUIMiner with 21712 or 24000 thread concurrency. Now I've re-installed Windows, same drivers, same everything and keep getting an "Error -5" at startup saying it couldn't start my GPUs up. Trying to re-install 12.8 drivers again to see if something went bonkers.

I dropped the threads to 8192 just to see if they'd run at all, and they do, albeit at 275kH/s. So now I gotta figure out why the change and why the Error -5's???

Hey tacotime!

Are you going to upgrade GUIMiner to include cgminer 2.11.4 anytime soon? (:

Soon, week of 4/22/13. In the meantime you can just delete the contents of the cgminer folder and replace it with the contents of the agminer 2.11.4 zip file if you want to use it.
Busy with some other extremely important things related to work for me

The stratum proxy was working fine until I rebooted my computer. Now it throws errors. I have restarted it twice and nothing has changed. This is what I am getting.

Also in GUIminer-scrypt alpha it is pointed to coinotron.com:3334, do I need to point it somewhere else like a local host to get it to use the stratum proxy?

Miners should be pointed at localhost port 8332
Proxy should be pointed at the pool, coinotron.com port 3334

Not possible through GUIMiner currently.

It should be through extra flags, just add

Code:

-o stratum+tcp://yourpool.com:3333 -u username -p password

Whenever cgminer sees arguments for a second pool it just appends them to the backup pool list

What can I do?

Okay. When in Windows and you see cards reporting errors, how do you link them to specific PCI-e slots? I assume one of them is the PCI-e 1x slot and then I think it's messing up one of the middle slots, just not sure which. I guess I can just attempt different shortings until no more errors occur? I just want to get one rig done and then it'll be easy to get the other 5 setup after all the growing pains on this one! :p
