GPU1: Invalid nonce HW error this is coming up infrequently.

Up above it says HW:12 next to GPU1

GPU1 is still getting me shares, but less than my other GPUs.

I would lower the clock on that GPU till you don't get any hardware error's. It has probably taken some stress and can't run that high anymore. My 5830 used to do 975 till stratum support then I had to lower it to 960.

But I don't recall ever seeing an "invalid nonce" error??
Sam

Lowered overclock to default and still getting 1/2 HW Errors on that 1 GPU Sad

Temps on it are good though, around 60c

The default being 800Mhz right? What's your memory clock set to?

I would say that GPU may have taken some damage/stress. If you've been running it for a year and a half that's probably a pretty good run though.

I'd run it at stock clock till it died.

Looks like hw issue with that GPU. I wouldn't be surprised if phoenix reported incorrect hashrate for that GPU...

That GPU is only getting about half the shares as my other 3 GPUs now Sad

Ok I'm using cgminer.exe now

Using (4) 5830 overclocked to 945 mhz, and temps are at 60c

I'll see how it goes

4 GPUs on 1 computer, and I've got 1 instance of GPUMiner open using cgminer.

Well I have no idea what GPUMiner is. But 5830's should be getting 300+Mhash/s though.

I spoke too soon...all 4 of my 5830s are averaging 220 MHash each now, and they aren't overheating because the temp is only 60c for each of them

Sigh...so frustrating, maybe its time to finally quit after mining for 1.5 years.

All because I decided to switch to new version of GUIminer with cgminer. I used to use old guiminer version + phoenix

Can't really debug it with guiminer in front of it. Try cgminer direct.

Interesting. The only thing I can think of that could cause this is trying to submit a share even before gbt is fully set up, or the gbt structures sent by the pool are corrupt somehow. Does this happen shortly after startup? Is the GBT pool somewhere I can test it publicly or is this your custom pool? Thanks.

This does happen shortly after startup, and I am only running one 5830, so trying to submit a share that quickly seems unlikely. I only ran it once, though, so not impossible by any means. The pool is the one previously run by he who shall not be named. (aka eligius)

ETA, I was running in screen, so I don't know if this is the same error I was getting before. I can tell you that on 2.9.4 it first ran quite a while before crashing, and then crashed on startup when I ran it again, at which point I went back to 2.8.7 (and then when 2.9.5 came out, I got the segfault instead of the error I was getting in 2.9.4 [which I quoted someone else mentioning a few pages back]). That said, 2.9.5 crashed on startup more than once, and this is why I didn't go for a second test run when 2.9.6 crashed at startup.

Updated my ATI drivers and I'm getting better mhash now than ever before...I was using 11.6 drivers, updated to 12.10 now

I've got 4 5830 cards mining on 1 PC

Before I switched to cgminer each was getting 270 MHash

Now with cgminer, and only using -w 128 and I-9 flags, 3 miners are getting normal MHash but when I start the 4th miner it's only getting 150 MHash

Any idea why?

What do you mean 4th miner? Are you starting a separate CGMiner instance for each card in this one machine? One instance of CGMiner will run all four GPU's.

4 GPUs on 1 computer, and I've got 1 instance of GPUMiner open using cgminer.

3 of the GPUS are getting 270mhash, and the 4th is only getting 145 MHash....before I switched to cgminer, all 4 were getting the 270mhash.

It's always the last (4th) GPU that I start mining that gets the lower MHash, so I know the GPU isn't broke because the same thing happens to them all depending on which order I start them

Whats wrong? Sad

what's the CLI entry to add a 2nd backup pool miner (slush's stratum) in windoze?

Check the examples in the Executive Summary in the first post.

This is a fantastic miner, been using it for about a month with my poor 100MH/s without any real issues.
