Topic: OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.0 - page 577. (Read 5805728 times)

Go visit the ABCPool thread - ABCPool was dead last time I looked there a couple of hours ago.
Edit: OK someone posted that it's alive again (but it was dead for quite a while)

Ckolivas,

As you know I am mining on Bonuspool, last night the pool was disabled by CGMiner after 3 mins of rejects and although it came back to  live,  not all of my miners went back to work there, some did


As you can see, it is still rejecting

Cheers,

Brat

p.s. Just by sheer luck I happen to see that on one of my other miners where Pool  0 also was not re-enabled, Pool 1, which is enabled but DEAD as you can see above, came back alive and that miner switched to Pool 1 immediately.... but Pool 0 stayed in Rejecting mode. After enabling it manually, the miners started delivering shares

If the rate is very low, then leaving it is fine. However 2.5% is fairly significant. Think of them like the glitches you see on screen when you overclock too much. I'd recommend just come backing a little on the overclock till they go away.

the HW column which I believe stands for hardware error.

One of my cards has 0 while the other has 2.5% hardware errors ( HW/(A+R+HW)= hardwareerror divided by total accepted+rejected+HW. )

Should I downclock that card some because I think those errors are because of overclock?

Heh, looks like I packed that rig tightly just to unpack it again.

Ok, going to unpack it.

p.s. I use no extensions and no displays, just resistors.

Hi All,

I'm trying to run my 4-GPU rig and having something strange.

It runs perfectly with 3 GPUs, but when the 4th is being added it still runs only those 3 were running before.

winxp32, driver 11.11, cgminer 2.4.1

Here are some logs:

C:\ATI\04>cgminer.exe -n

When started cgminer runs about a minute producing shares by GPUs 0-2, then says:
...
[2012-05-09 16:37:10] Device 3 idle for more than 60 seconds, GPU 3 declared SICK!
[2012-05-09 16:37:10] GPU still showing activity suggesting a hard hang.
[2012-05-09 16:37:10] Will not attempt to auto-restart it.

This GPU had been working perfectly about a year till today as a secong GPU at my home workstation under win7x64.
Now I want it to run in a rig.
Are there any suggestions how can I diagnose that case?

Thanks in advance.

Efficiency effectively means nothing to anything but the pool and your internet connection.
Efficiency is average how many shares are accepted per getwork request to the pool.
rollntime allows a getwork request to locally be expanded into many getwork requests (max of 10 in cgminer)

On p2pool you will regularly abort your share processing due to the 10s LP time (60 times as often as on a normal pool)
When an LP hits, the current work is stopped (and any shares found are submitted, by default)
Then new work related to the LP is started.
Thus e.g. if you only process half of each work item you will return (on average) 1 share per 2 work items.
i.e. Efficiency should be something like 50%

Sorry for my somewhat sarcastic response.  I thought you were referring to the max limits that exist in the CCC program and that CG Miner can surpass.

Does it run stable @850MHz with this driver?  Try 12.2, 12.3.

Using 2.4.0 there seemed to be a lot of rejected, greater than 10% of accepted. I switched to 2.4.1 and now the rejected rate is less than 5% of accepted. Efficiency is 30% on average, a 50% increase over 2.3.2 with identical settings while hashing on p2pool. So far so good.

cgminer uses the driver library to set clocks.
cgminer can't set clocks higher than drivers & GPU BIOS will allow them to be set.

If you must have higher clocks your options are limited to:
a) utilities which bypass the drivers and force GPU clock change directly (MSI AB, Trixx, etc)
b) flashing a custom BIOS which allows higher settings

yes I'm using cgminer but I can't get it overclock more then the AMD Overdrive limits.

I'm on the latest 2.4.1 and windows 7 64bit.

I use a program called CGMiner to do that.
Sam

I have good temps with water and wonder how I overclock more then AMD overdrive MAX values?

You still can. Nothing's changed. If you can't get temps usually you haven't export DISPLAY on linux or are running some  remote desktop on windows.

Does the latest version (2.4.1) no longer support changing settings interactively via the program?

Also, I don't see temperature displays for my individual GPU's or fan speeds.

Onle the first card crashes (0/monitor connected), another ones works well...
 

In a few seconds after launch I have that one (win7 crash report are below):

  APPCRASH
  cgminer.exe
  0.0.0.0
  4fa657ea
  aticaldd.dll

P.S. win7 x64 - Catalyst 11.12 - 2.6 sdk - 4*5870@950MHz...

Sorry for the delay in replying. Thank You Kano. It did work on a restart when I removed the comma. It did take me a moment to find it. Thank You ckolivas I am glad to hear that it will be fixed. 

It's as kano said, that extra comma is an error to do with you not running any GPUs. Will need to be fixed in the next version. You'll have to edit it manually for it to work at the moment.
