Away on an extended break
Okay, please keep the CGMiner/BFG feud banter outside this thread. It's getting tedious seeing so many reports from here. I've split the off topic parts (and deleted a few which missed the split) to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/re-cgminer-asic-fpga-gpu-overc-monit-fanspd-rpc-linuxwinosxmipr-pi-311-214823

Thanks everyone.  Smiley

Sadly no ltc :-)
Well, I'll give this a shot next week.  If I can get it up and running, I'll take it in the ass over at BTC-E and convert a few over to BTC for ya.  Grin

use proxifier?
Shocked

Quote
Proxifier is a program that allows network applications that do not support working through proxy servers to operate through an HTTP(S) or SOCKS proxy or a chain of proxy servers.

I'll certainly try that out.  Sounds like it'll do exactly what I need.

Thanks!

Edit:  And if this does work, bitpop will have a few LTC heading his way (assuming you accept LTC?). Wink

Ruu \o/
I apologize if this is a noob question, but I've been googling and searching the forums for a while to no avail.

I'm trying to mine on a network that requires a web browser to use an auto config script (.pac proxy file). Am I reading right that I cannot mine behind this?  The way its configured in IE for example is under Auto config script:  "http://proxyserver:port/proxyfile.pac"

From the OP:
Quote
Stratum uses direct TCP connections to the pool and thus it will NOT currently
work through a http proxy but will work via a socks proxy if you need to use
one. If you input the stratum port directly into your configuration, or use the
special prefix "stratum+tcp://" instead of "http://", cgminer will ONLY try to
use stratum protocol mining.

So does this mean I would need to use -o "stratum+tcp://proxyserver:port/proxyfile.pac|http://miningpool:port" ?  Or some version of that?

I tried several different versions of that but could not seem to get it to work.

Would appreciate any help and happily donate the first few LTC I mine to whoever can help me figure this out! :p

Thanks!
Alas, no proxy works with current stratum in cgminer.

What is safe zone VRM temp when mining ?

I was just commenting on his comments about setting the values and failing and using external programs.

Yeah that looks weird (doesn't make sense) memclock isn't a range, and using atoi(blah) on that range would return 0

I said I'm not using external programs.

I have also tried to set it to a single value (700 from memory) but that had no effect either.

Without external programs, you can't set your memory clock to less than the gpu clock minus 150MHz, unless you set the GPU at 850 or less when you tried 700 for the memory it was silently ignored.

"gpu-engine" : "1100",
"gpu-memclock" : "0-750",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",

With Memdiff of 0 your telling your GPU to use the same memclock as your engine.

You can't specify a range for memclock you have to use one value.

I think 7xxx series cards can only have a engine to memory difference of 150Mhz.

I've you trying to use MSI after burner to overclock your card ? I'm personnaly use it with no issue Wink
Stock is 1250 for me too and I raide up to 1500mhz (elpida chips not so good Sad )

No, I haven't installed any tools for overclocking (it's a Gigabyte card), only setting the main clock in cgminer.

I want to reduce the memory clock to reduce power usage and heat generation.
As per the README/GPU-README

cgminer uses the ATI ADL Library to adjust the clocks on the cards.

If ATI didn't put support in the library to change to the settings you request, cgminer will attempt, and report the new setting the library chose - usually the default setting for values they don't support.

If you use an external program, make sure you disable ADL in cgminer --no-adl

thanks for the tips, better perf with --no-adl using msi afterburner Smiley

So his settings are valid?  Using a range for memclock and memdiff of 0 at the same time, that is?

Is it normal for the memory clock on a 7950 to be locked and ignore the values I specify either in the config file or on the command line? With the following config file on Windows (I also have the same problem on Linux), the memory clock runs at 1250MHz

Code:
{
"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "http://cryptominer.org:9332/",
                "user" : "username",
                "pass" : "password"
        }
]
,
"intensity" : "10",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "64",
"kernel" : "poclbm",
"lookup-gap" : "0",
"thread-concurrency" : "0",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-engine" : "1100",
"gpu-fan" : "0-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "0-750",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "80",
"api-port" : "4028",
"auto-fan" : true,
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"hotplug" : "5",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

Do I need to disable auto-gpu or something different?
