I think Tytanick mentioned before that wifi will be supported or considering to support in next version....

RX480 1100/2125 using Heliox/Eliovp "480lowenergyOK.rom", 270-280 sols/s per GPU

My R9-Nanos 370-440 sols/s per GPU using Heliox/Eliovp custom rom for Nanos with ZEC mining.

can we use a wireless usb stick for wifi in machines with smOS?

if so can someone explain process

What do you use for opt?
What core mem do you have set

I have flashed almost 90% of my GPUs in my small farm.

I have had my share of ups and downs in custom roms because I dont do/create the roms myself and only depend on reliable 3rd parties to create the best one out there. So I tried quite a number of roms and settled for Eliovp's custom roms because it works very well in my environment and GPU type (I use mainly Sapphire and ASUS). Also he is accessible in forums and PM unlike other devs.

Lessons learnt:


1. Not for faint hearted. Best is NOT to flash your GPU if you have only a few rigs (unless you want to experiment and will take full responsibility for your actions). Use smOS, built in "power-stage" feature. Think of it as your "Afterburner" in Linux. So this is your software fix to OC or underclock. However this is not "undervolt" - for that you really need custom roms.

2. If you have a substantial amount of rigs and slowly becoming a farm, you will need to address 2 major issues of power consumption and heat ---> this will lead you to 2 possible solutions: use custom roms to adjust power consumption at best possible performance. And cooling solutions - fans, blowers, ventilation, environmentals etc.

3. Not all flashing will result in success, even it's the same bloody card. So reflashing with a "lighter" or "less aggressive" rom is all right.

4. Adjusting the clocks downwards usually will fix a non-working GPU rig (boots to Linux but cannot mine).

5. If you have to go back to original roms, and for some reason you failed to make backups, then go to this website to seek solace... https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/

I am using Optiminer v1.7 because its very stable in my environment (480s,290s,370s,390s,R9-Nanos).

For Claymore I use my normal prefered settings as follows (customised for Nicehash)

-zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.usa.nicehash.com:33357#xnsub -zwal .$rigName -zpsw x -wd 1 -dbg -1 -r 1 -allpools 1 -tt 77 -fanmin 55 -fanmax 99 -tstop 95

So I would be cautious with that bios.  I tried the same one because I thought I bought reference cards myself (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150770).  This is what I bought because all the google research I used when looking for rx 480 reference took me to that card.  I tried his bios and a few others and I would get the same thing, except my cards would sit around 7mh.  What I had to do to find my exact card was take one of the cards, plug into windows, save the original bios and open it in polaris bios editor.  Look at the SubID and Sub VendorID and write down the codes, I would then open other roms in polaris to find they were not the same IDs.  After digging I found that my cards are actually xfx rx 480 triple x cards.  I then took screenshots of his bios in polaris and tweaked my original backup rom to match it closely for memory, timing and volts.  I was able to get low powered 28.6 out of my card after that.  One extra step I took because I was told it was the best thing to do is I clicked reset on sapphire trixx for each card of mine even though they are a different brand it still works.

Not sure if this is the same issue you have, but just providing what I went through

what setttings are you using for claymore zec right now?

Good idea. A comments section/column will be useful so that relevant information to the miner/user can be retained.

This way, it will also lessen requirement for generic information to be on permanent columns.

If you see Claymore's monitoring utility dashboard, on the last column is "comment" section.
This was added to give miners/users a way to insert any special info useful only to them.

Suggestion: would be cool to be able to type in and save notes in the dashboard for each computer like this pic: https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fu4qFZVV.png&t=574&c=5WojSDgYvmt9iQ

Okay I can test that when I get back in about 15 min

OK check lower clocks then like 1000/1750

This is all happening at power 7

Can you Rise PowerStage value from 5 to 6 or even 7 and see if it will help ?
Its in the OC menu.

UPDATE v1082-1084:
- updated claymore-zec to 12.4

I flashed because the same thing was happening with stock bios

i would start with normal original flashed cards see if everything goes right then flash

claymore zec was is running fine on 2 rigs just fine
but on the other two it wouldnt update stayed in a loop
so i figured it my usbs got corrupted

Anyone? Have no idea how to fix

im sorry i meant it as just me having issue when i was changing settings and you was updating
