Topic: Phoenix - Efficient, fast, modular miner - page 25. (Read 760839 times)
Is there any significant performance difference between running Phoenix on Windows or Linux? I'm building a dedicated mining rig and I'd like to know if there's a particular advantage to one or the other operating system.
Is there any way to record a logfile at the same time it is displayed on screen?
I want to monitor my miners with nagios but be able to see my usual data on screen.
Use tee.I want to monitor my miners with nagios but be able to see my usual data on screen.
awesome! Thanks for the tip. Never used tee before.
Found that a windows port was part of UnxUtils
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/files/
now i gotta remember how to add a service to nagios

Sounds like you are missing the poclbm kernel in the kernels directory located where your phoenix.exe file is.
I'm trying to run Phoenix on my 5830, and I'm getting an error. I received the same error when running a GTX 260. OS is Windows 7 x64.
Here's my command line input for the 5830:
Here is the error:
I installed ATI drivers fresh today, and I am able to run poclbm on GUIMiner. Any suggestions?

Right now I'm doing 360Mhash/s with 5850 (890/1290/default V) on settings from first post.
I'm gonna play with it a little more later. I'm thinking about rising voltage a little bit so I could try 950 on core.
Great tool indeed.

you mean get a gpu utility and manually down-clock the gpu?
I mean get a gpu utility (like msi afterburner), set unofficial overclocking on (search for "EnableUnofficialOverclocking") and manually clock the memory (not gpu) down to 300-320
I have been using Phoenix solo for a few days now with a decent hasrate. I finaly got 1 accepted and I thought that would mean that I finaly solved a block. However nothing ever showed up in the bitcoin client and there is still zero in the rejected.
Is there some other possibility I am missing?

The Bitcoin client doesn't show generated blocks at all until after 2 confirmations. I don't know why this is. You've probably already seen it appear by now.
Might have been an invalid block, then. (Which, now that I think of it, is probably why Bitcoin doesn't display these until 2 confirmations.)
If you're doing any serious solo mining, you should consider setting up a private pool.
Thanks much, I can live with that explanation. I am not doing any serious solo mining I just want to get a few blocks or even one while it is still possible and thought I would devote like a month to it but it has me concerned that it may not be working correctly and I possibly could be wasting a few weeks.

I find that even aggression 1 is driving temperature too high (80C) for my card (ATI 6770), how do I set the speed even lower? I currently get 130 Mhash/s but I'm ok with lower speed if I could get my GPU temperature down to 70 level.
Try to lower the memory speed.

Aggression 1 is as fast as possible; you need to raise the number to lower the GPU load.
That's not true, 1 is slowest, 130 Mhash/s for my gpu, if I set to 5, I get 160 Mhash/s and temperate goes even higher
Oops, yes you're right. I need more coffee.

Hi im new to bit mining and i am running dual MSI 6990s and they run at 333.33 mhash/sec per GPU which gives me the total of 1332 MHASH/SEC. Is this normal?? I want to try an overclock it as well, can anyone give me tips on how to do that and what rate should i be going at per card or per GPU?? 
oh btw im also running my SAPPHIRE 5770 1GB on another computer and it only gives me 125.66 mhash/sec. On the wiki it saids i should be going at 156.83 at core of 850. what am i doing wrong?
C:\Users\Username\Desktop\phoenix\phoenix.exe -u username:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=8 WORKSIZE=128

666 Mhash/s is normal for 6990. You can see it in the "Mining hardware comparison" page of the wiki. About overclocking — I'm not sure you should try it if you ask such questions... 1.3 Ghash/s is a good speed afterall. But if you really want to overclock your cards, go ahead, download msi afterburner and give it a try (e.g. set 850 mhz for core)... And try to use the forum search next time.
About 5770:
— What SDK do you have? If it's 2.4, use -k phatk, not -k poclbm.
— Why didn't you stick to the recommended miner settings written in the first post? Remove "WORKSIZE=128".
