Okay you said .bat file so I assume it was windows you were dealing with.

Can you try this drop in .exe replacement please?

Yes, windows 7 x64 11.8 crossfired 6990 as I told earlier. Sorry, the same issue remains.. ok, no problem, i'll mine at constant gpu-fan 65 Wink

it's ok too.

running CGMiner 2.02 on win7 64 bit. sdk 2.4, 11.6 driver. ASUS directCU 6870 non ref card.

mem clock is displayed wrong in win7 build on the ASUS. "--gpu-memclock 300" is in the command line and GPU-Z and CCC both correctly show the 300 MHz clock speed, so it does get set. below is the "G" output.

Code:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [P]ool management [G]PU management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit
 GPU 0: 74.0C 2807RPM | 311.3/314.8Mh/s | A:59 R:0 HW:0 U:4.70/m
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GPU 0: 319.8 / 316.6 Mh/s | A:29  R:0  HW:0  U:4.30/m
74.0 C  F: 71% (2840 RPM)  E: 1010 MHz  M: 1050 Mhz  V: 1.200V  A: 98%  P: 0%

this is a cosmetic bug only as the clock is correctly set. and ONLY the asus 6870. on my 6770 the mem clock displays correctly.

other than that, which is may be specific to that card, FANTASTIC.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd be very cautious of believing any other number than that one reported back by cgminer. There are different ways of querying the card that report back different values and cgminer is simply reporting back what the card says is its current running speed. On my 6970s it says the speed was set fine when I set it low, but then reports back at full memory speed. Looking at the temperature+fanspeeds confirms it is definitely running at the hotter 1375 (default).

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

possible memory clock display bug?

running CGMiner 2.0.2 on win7 64 bit. sdk 2.4, 11.6 driver. ASUS directCU 6870 non ref card.

mem clock is displayed wrong in win7 build on the ASUS. "--gpu-memclock 300" is in the command line and GPU-Z and CCC both correctly show the 300 MHz clock speed, so it does get set. below is the "G" output.

74.0 C  F: 71% (2840 RPM)  E: 1010 MHz  M: 1050 Mhz  V: 1.200V  A: 98%  P: 0%

this is a cosmetic bug only as the clock is correctly set. and ONLY the asus 6870. on my 6770 (2.0.2, vista 32 bit, SDK 2.4, 11.6 driver) the mem clock displays correctly.

other than that, which may be specific to that brand/model card (its very non reference, 6 phase power etc.. and I actually dont care if it gets fixed, just figured youd want to know) FANTASTIC.

I changed it in the menu - one card lowered fan to 58%, second got overheated though the fan was showing 100% and was automatically disabled. But the second card was just soundless in reality, the fan was not working actually, just pretending lol

Hmm, I wonder then if the fan just doesn't support the high values it's trying to set it to. Can you leave autofan off and try setting it manually to higher values and see if they work ok? I did spot something in the code that might be responsible but I need to know if you can manually set it to 100% ok. Oh the menu should also report to you what range is okay (usually it's 0-100), so can you tell me what that shows too please?

Yes, I can set to 100 manually the first and the second cards (tried it separately manually in the menu). And yes the menu reports the range 0-100% for each device

I'm sorry to report this, but auto-fan option is broken for me in 2.0.2 (windows 7 64 11.8 ). Fan speed is just going down to zero Sad

I had to manually specify --gpu-fan 65 to make it work.

Most unusual Huh

What parameters are you passing?

Thanks for the reply. I'm at a loss end myself Sad

2.0.1 works fine with the same bat file --log 10 --intensity 9 --failover-only --submit-stale --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 830 --gpu-memclock 300 --temp-target 82 --temp-overheat 88 But when I use this bat file with 2.0.2 fan speed starts to diminish almost to zero and gpu overheats and I have to stop cgminer. Now I have to use this bat file --log 10 --intensity 9 --failover-only --submit-stale --gpu-fan 65 --gpu-memclock 300 this way it works...

Interesting. When you start it (the safe way) do the parameters all look to make sense in the menu under G->Change settings for that device? You can enable and disable autofan on the fly in there so can you see if that's any different? As in, see what is reported in the parameters after you enable autofan and what happens. You should be able to disable it on the fly, and ultimately it *should* cut out at 95 degrees with --auto-gpu on. I did add more autofan logic in there but it was supposed to make it safer, not the other way around Lips sealed

Did you create cgminer or not? I believe you should treat everyone same and help to improve your software.

I most certainly did create cgminer as free software as a bitcoin miner to support and strengthen the bitcoin p2p network and I am under absolutely no obligation whatsoever to do jack shit.

Sorry about that but it was a little missunderstood. I was thinking about guiminer - not cgiminer!

Of course you do not need to do jackshit about it, since it's a different software and yours working fine!

Sorry for the inconvenience!

You don't seem to get it: here nobody owes you anything. You might ask nicely, but if you are refused you have to shut it up. This is what DiabloD3 is politely implying. If you can't comprehend it, maybe ban is the best thing for everybody.

You do realize its easy to get banned, right? Take my advice, shut the fuck up.

As a moderator on this forum you should respect the rules even more then an ordinary user. I do have right to mine whatever I want, I do have right ask questions and I do have right to expect equality in everything.
You can of course get me banned but this will only be another example of how some people involved into btc acts, reacts and threats others. And that of course, since I am a journalist, will be properly described and probably won't do good for btc project and community.

Hello,

some of us has been having problems with cgminer mining SC. No matter which pool we choose, we always get "unexpected error" message.

Any other mining software works fine. So I believe there is sometinh on cgminer side.

Unfortunately I'm not inclined to provide support for BTC forks.

That's somewhere between bizarre, amusing and depressing at the same time o_O
