anyone can help with that messages ??  pls ...

In my setting, every 30 seconds, "main Eth: Accepted shares (# of shares)" is recorded in the log. Does the number include shares found during "DevFee" or not? 

1. No... Yes... -resetoc resets OC at miner startup, if the miner crashes or gets force closed the OC wound be reset and stay active. If you reboot a hole Rig, the OC wound last, a booting system/os would load the GPUs bios values, that's the reason for bios modding...
2. No... There is no need to -resetoc per GPU, what for? you apply OC per Gpu, so resetting all is totally fine if needed...

Don't! This is a development Threat, this is totally the wrong place for learning or sharing how to configure miners or gpus... Report bugs, ask for features, download new versions from the first post... If you wanna chat use https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/... You wrote massive post, you even do double posts, that's not what this is Threat is meant for...

IGNORE THAT LINK BELOW

There is No Ver 6 of PHOENIX Miner
Look on the 1st page for official Links

I wish they would make dag cache for EZIL

Not yet.  He said this coming month he msg release something

does this do any lhr stuff yet???

92w + 30e - 40w = 120e - 130w. You can´t take the wattage from the miner software -> it is wrong, you must add 30 - 40w per RX card. I can reach the 34mh also with some of my RX570, so nothing special. And 620w from the wall with 4 gpus is also nothing special. I can reach 800w with 6 GPU´s.

@der][meister RE:6900XT I just stumbled on morepowertools RED BIOS EDITOR and MorePowerTool for Polaris, Navi and Big Navi – MPT 1.3.7 Final (New)
Just getting reading now..

https://www.igorslab.de/en/red-bios-editor-and-morepowertool-adjust-and-optimize-your-vbios-and-even-more-stable-overclocking-navi-unlimited/ If interested.
Now, I know there is some life after RX580 bios / modding on Navi /Big Navi cards.. This seems like this tool mods the powertables (in memory) as opposed to flashing the BIOS I maybe wrong tho.. will see.. Research continues.. 

Note, I have Samsung GDDR6 Memory So ,this is great news, idk if these cards come in any other flavour memory chips like my old 580's Hynix/Micron/Elphidia/Samsung..

Now to get these thing running on PhoenixMiner.

jaboneb, So you figured out how to click a link? How's that working out for you.



Hi @PhoenixMiner #v5.9

Quick question about :

So, Say on GPU fail watchdog kicks in and triggers the reboot.bat, Rig reboots and autorun miner_start.bat launches the miner again; loads up the config.txt. Does this setting mean that the OC settings in the config.txt will be ignored? Another word will it run the cards at stock regardless of what settings are in the config.txt.?

OR does this setting work by clearing any previous OC settings BEFORE launching the actual mining config and running the process THEN reapplies the clocks/mem & voltage settings from config.txt / clocks.txt and resume.
Like, clear any previous settings then reapply??

- Final question about -resetoc,  Can this be applied per GPU or ALL detected under "-d 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11"

How would you apply this settings to manage a rig.. Can you describe how to apply this and the order of priority in the config.txt file what takes precidance over the clocks Ive set vs. the -resetoc setting.
Thanks.

UPDATE
GPU's ARRIVED today I'm just prepping to load them into my frames.

Man These 6900XT's are monsters!
Wil post speeds/config once sorted and any tweaking /tools/guides I can manage to find.

I just learned how to ignore your loooooooooooong diaries.

Hey der][meister
Agreed..  Yeah I will get a little back regards ROI.  Time is nearing for the ETH2 PoS and will be time to look for new POW to mine Maybe ETC/RVN.. OR simply Power down operation and wait OR SELL as already ROI'ed (Excluding the x6900XT's I can keep and repurpose Or sell at current market rate). 
- I'm going to mine with them and retire my OLD R9 290X 4GB (or 8GB I forget ) in my Dev machine and slam one of the 6900XT's into there, Continue Mining with the other..  This is another option.

Regarding ROI in general My Rigs have done like ~2.5x - 3x ROI since 2017 , So, i'm Up..

Already Purchased!.. Shipping Here Monday (Tomoz) I am learning about ML/Deep learning.. and Rendering Mining on the 6900XT's will be Primary role initially but then I can use as test bench *almost* as their secondary role...


I have a partial off-grid type setup Power is Renewable/Not main concern Although, It is a concern if you get my meaning.. But I hear yeah you...

Hummm... Okay.. TBH, I assumed there would be something out there for the 6900XT.. I need to DMyOR on this one..
 

Ok... Yeah, I did think about doing it in a similar way prior to purchase But space is at a premium which was one of my concerns. I could return one of the 6900XT's and swap for a RTX3800 [without LHR] (maybe add a couple of hundred to get 3900 for the tensor cores)

Yeah I hear you.. These 6900XT's were purchased from a position of profits, So, its kind of fked up how I look at this BUT to me these are Free cards.. I know, I know far from it.. but cost me Zero, in real terms Profits from Mining & Trading, this is looked at like CapEx spend for Q1 2022 lol..

It is a Hobby turned into a profitable little enterprise. Make ends meet Plus some..

Ok, So Im based in the UK and ambient temps are currently 19Deg C. To paint a better picture These 4 Now 5th RX580 NITRO+ SE are on the bottom row of a dual row 12GPU Aluminium open air case (Stackable with a rig Above and a rig to the right Hand side.)  As I add more to the Rig I expect temps to climb but as it stands the temps posted *Currently* have lots of breathing room... Once I fully complete populating the rig a row will sit above the row where these are situated now.  (LONG way to say I expect the heat to climb.. AND , I expect there to be a hotspot between the external 2 cards on each side and the 2 gpu's in the middle...  LOL)

 
Ok, Yeah I think there is still room to do a little (*Lot* more) tweaking..
 
Most definitely.. PhoenixMiner has done a cracking job AND TBH I can see that as Diff has climbed they are keeping pace ... I almost guarantee I can make some efficiencies/savings if I take another look at the BIOS mods again OR that amdtweektool to actually find the sweet spot for the timing straps. As IMSMR I used the Polaris Editor just cloned the straps timings from the strap above. NO real effort was made at the time to really "trim the fat", kind of thing.. It was more of a "Wham! bang thank you mam" kind of job.. An area to take another look at and deep dive for sure...   


All in all I've added in another card and am running this in now and adjusting in incremental changes.. I can see that there is still plenty of room to bring the power draw down.

Thanks for the feedback and good points to consider/re-evalaute  der][meister

Hey, just a short heads up .... First of all, i don't think it's the right time to buy gpus or upgrade rigs, seeing ETH2 coming and the ROI of a gpu being at least 1 year or even more... See, i flipped all my 580s a year ago for RTX3000series V1, at that time the ROI was about 3 month, so i made profit for about 6-9 month now and didn't even consider investing it into new hardware because the ROI since may 2021 rise 4 times!

But still if you want to buy gpus, why do you buy 6900XTs!? the have the same hashrate as 6800xt or 6800 and draw way more power!? The are not power efficient at all!!! 2x6900xt are about 130mh/s and draw 300 to 350 watts, further there are no bios mods if seen working (like the old 580 bios days) and oc/undervolting is a pain in the ass... at least compared to other gpus. The 6600 or 6600XT are as power efficient as the RTX3000series V1, if you want AMD i would consider those, even if you need more Riser/Pci-e power, at least if you have enough mainboard connections available. If not try to get some used powerful RTX 3000series V1 or 5700/5700XT if you want to stay AMD. But watch and research the gpus power/hashrate efficiency!!

But again, at the gpu prices these days, ROI is high, the only profit i see is holding your mined coins and hope for higher prices to sell, but then you should just buy coins atm and don't bother mining... If mining is and hobby you enjoy, then go for it and have fun, but don't buy the wrong gpus, do your research!!BTW your 580s are running at perfect temps, maybe to low and a lower fan speed could be considered, but i don't know under what climate they are running. But the use a lot of power! I run mine at a little lower hashrate 32-33mh/s but with bios mods they run at 65-75watts at about 50-58C°, still i don't now how the 580s aged with eth-difficulty over the last year, maybe they can't be run more efficient these days!?...

The official release version was updated to 5.9d because we fixed some regression bugs that were introduced in 5.9b, and 5.9c. You can download PhoenixMiner 5.9d from the first post of this thread.

The changes in this release (since 5.9c) are:

• Fixed issues with AMD RX6700XT with older drivers
• Other small fixes

RIG REBUILD
Ok, Update:
Miner_Ver: Phoenix Miner v5.8c
OS: Win10 x64 Pro
RAM 32GB DDR4
ASUS Mining Expert 19pcie (Really only 13pcie + 6 pcie used for p106's cards)
 
I have rebuilt my rig & gave everything a good clean during rebuild. New GPU Raisers ver009's And now latest ver10x (2021 editions) New GPU Thermal pads/New GPU Fans (Lot of work)..

I partially rebuilt my rig then discovered there was a fault *somewhere* which I was then forced to disassemble to locate the cause of offending malfunction.  Problem turned out to be a Faulty Memory Module of RAM, I may have caught /knocked during the break down/service..

Anyway, I decided that the current PSU(s) EVGA1600T2 + HX1200 was not sufficient to power my rig (As I'm adding x2 6900 XT Monday =)
 
So, I decided to go with a new Corsair AX1600i Paired with the EVGA 1600 T2 (Have the HX1200 as a redundant PSU maybe Ill run a raiser from it.. Will see how we go regards power draw)

This addition of AX1600i should give me more headroom and not over burden the PSU's
 
I'm still testing but I should be able to get at least one of the 6900XT's in and *If required* use the old HX1200 as the Third PSU for the rig to keep my power profile all within specs.

Hopefully, the power draws will all be balanced over the rig's PSU's and  running within the optimal spec for each of the PSU Units to hit the 94% Titanium 80Plus Ratings (or as close as possible)

Each Raiser is connected to 6-pin direct to PSU (No 6Pin - SATA Connections Just asking for trouble)
Some of the larger 8-Pin ATX connections which uses the thicker 16AWG I have Spit to power 2 raisers. ~150w max draw 75w on each raiser (Well within specs)

x10 RX580 8GB (185 TDP + 75w Raisers = 260w)
System @ Idle ~240w-260w peek boot draw reading were off the wall.
Im still digging in to locate the detailed specs from Sapphire for the x6900XT's to see their TDP 300w *I think* (Based on 1x 6-pin + 2x 8-pin) connections.

(Amps X Volts = Watts)  (+20% (520w) Headroom.)

This is what I really wanted to share with you guys.. These hashrates from some of the RX580's 34.2MH/s @ ~92w Stable!!!!  (x4 GPU rig pulling only 620w from the wall !)
I Think this can be improved too..

Feel free to take a Look at screenshot.
RX580 x4 Stable @ 34.2MH/s - Update: Now ~17hrs into this run Stable!.

RFC
===

Request for Comments regarding running the X2 RX 6900 XT SE OC on the same system as the x580's

I don't know what I should do regarding modding the BIOS'es *Yet* as I had done with my Polaris v20 cards.
- Maybe If I just tune my rig .config using stock BIOS(es) first to get them running stable alongside the RX580's THEN look at Bios/Memory modifying, et al. .

Regarding Phoenix Miner v5.9c<== The Release Candidate I did run this prios to rebuilding this rig and it gave me shit BUT I cant 100% confirm if it was due to My broken rig or Buggy Beta version..
If anybody can give me some suggestions regarding this keeping in mind that i want to if at all possible have the RX580's and 6900XT's running from the same rig.
- Maybe run 2 separate instances of Phoenix Miner (One for the 580's one for the 6900XT's..)

Thanks in advance All..
Feedback / suggestions welcomed

hello, our miners have updated and now cant connecting to pools,

https://prnt.sc/20xe6ca

do you know any solution for this?

phoenixminer version 5.9c
hiveos version 0.6-212@211125 A 20.40 (5.6.14)


i tryed lower versions too,

5.9b and 5.8b same too

I have 6 rigs, 3 rigs can not run under 5.9c (Windows 10):
1 x RX5700XT (21.3.2) - ok
7 x Radeon VII (21.5.1) + 1 x RX6700XT (21.5.1) - ok
8 x RX5700XT (21.3.2) - ok. UPD: fatal error message happens too often, revert back to 5.8c
4 x RT6700XT (21.3.2) + 3 x RX5700XT (21.3.2) - fail
9 x RX5700XT (21.3.2) + 1 x RTX3060Ti (460.89) - fail
2 x RX6700XT (21.3.2) - fail

All rigs work well on 5.8c
So, I updated them back to 5.8c
https://disk.yandex.ru/i/bY4zGarVKqAqEg - snapshot

bug report, Windows 10 ,5600xt vs 5700 mix rig --cvddc  don't work on 5600xt 's, 5700's are ok!! tried many verssions of driver and all versions of phoenix.. Teamredminer works correctly on same rigs.

PhoenixMiner 5.9c is officially released. You can find the download link and the checksums in the first post of this thread.

It is the same release as the one that was posted here as release candidate, so if you are already running it, there is no need to upgrade.
