Topic: Improve 185 h/s intel ivy bridge xmrig ? (Read 241 times)

I've learned a lot in the last few days this cpu is running over 1500 h/s on xmrig now



I did something very similar at first I read it line by line and copied and pasted what was different

If you can't find a way around this then try finding where Nicehash store it's miners inside your PC and copy the Xmrig for private use, edit the config and change only pool address and wallet address, you should get same hashrate this way, I did this with NBminer for ethereum and it works

Try enabling HW AES.  Google says your proc has it but only way to be sure.....

This is my config.json file any suggestions?

I have to be honest I am not sure how to set the configuration to determine how many cores it will run xmrig on.

Yeah I assumed that and I have tried running xmrig from the NiceHash folder only changing to my wallet and it’s about the same rate as my config. Makes me wonder does NiceHash exaggerate the hash rate?

NiceHash uses XMRig too, so the difference comes from config.

How many cores are you using to mine? The lesser the better, use 3 out of the 4cores for mining and see if that increase your performance without overclocking, using all cores will reduce hashrate for sure

After overlock I’m running 1429 h/s in xmrig and 1543 in NiceHash

Yeah it’s not as fast as NiceHash hashes for some strange reason. I’m guessing my xmrig config file isn’t optimal

You can mine on nanopool using xmrig, I don't see any problem here.

NiceHash new benchmark is 1487 h/s using xmrig. It would be nice if I could get that rate on nanopool using only xmrig

I added 16gb of ram up from the 8gb it had yesterday. Xmrig is mining xmr at nanopool east at 1374 h/s now

RandomX to mine xmr

“huge-pages”: true,

Is in my config file so I must already be using this

And what algo you are mining? xmrig support many algos. What will you mine?

Intel Core i5 3330 ivy bridge

You don't need to overclock your CPU to get better hashrate, do research on huge page file, activate this and see 20% to 30% boost in mining, though I only try this when I was mining Monero years ago, I'm sure it still works, start from here

What cpu model is this exactly?

Ivy bridge cpu about to be overclocked is running only 185 h/s running xmrig. What should I try to improve the rate before over clocking?
