Topic: PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux) - page 396. (Read 784958 times)

janding and Phoenixminer Team

I want to say that the Phoenixminer will not receive the given commands in .bat file, when I look at Hwinfo i Gpu-z, I still have a higher value than the specified in the .bat file on -mvddc and -cvddc
And just to say when i put those same comand in Clay v11.8 everything is Ok.

Thanks for replay

Running 7 AMD gpus. Reported Hashrate is 200.9. At first the hashrate was doing around 190 something but as time pass by it current hashrate get lower and lower. After a day it reported hashrate is still 200 but the current hashrate is 159.2 and average hashrate is 161.

That's normal, most of us deal with it by creating a folder for mining programs, and adding that folder as an exception in Windows Defender.

After download, the antivirus software show file has virus ?

I have a suggestion:

When closing the miner and if you are using it to set clocks and vddc it will reset the clocks and vddc to the standards. What happened to me was that doing it with a 6 GPU and 1000W PSU computer simply crashed due to overload. What I do when I need to close the miner is pause the gpus so they go to idle clocks and vddc and only when most of them are idling I close the miner. Would be interesting to add an option so it will pause the gpus then set the clock back or something that would not make the rig overload due to reseting its configuration all at the same time.

Hello guys, hello PhoenixMiner.
I try the phoenix miner v2.9e upgrade to 3.0C, I liked it,but He will not Get the value for Hardware control options -cclock -cvddc -mclock -mvddc , which command I set up to do this.
I have amd xfx rx580 8gb gts xxx 8xcard in Rig

Thanks for your reply

FFS mate..... you had to quote the whole f***ing OP...?

worse, you didn't asked any question.....

Best for me is the blockchain driver by amd

update your driver. simple as that.

So i got windows update some how... and my drivers got fked up..

installed AMD 17.5.2 and PhoenixMiner say

"Amd compute mode is not supported by your driver 17.5.2".

Can someone help me? I think I had this driver before update

Sapphire rx 580 here.

Believe me, I understand where you coming from. Most users want "set it and forget it" software, but it's not that easy in this business. Besides, asking questions is easy than troubleshooting.

People who discovered PM recently don't want to go through 100+ pages of reading.

I was lucky to find PM in early January and been using/following since. I don't post much but also don't have any questions. Devs seem super responsive as well.

When users blame PM 3.0c being unstable, I believe it's their settings eg overclocking too much, not enough swap file, maxed out psu power, not having proper ventilation or using older driver version could be the issue.

Of course PM is not 100% perfect but if a lot of users doesn't have problems, please relook at your software and hardware setup.

For a while I cursed at PM becoz 3 gpus had errors only to discover that increasing my swap file solved it. Another problem 4 gpus having lower hashrate due to thermal throttling. Replacing stock cooler with aftermarket one max out hashrate.

Now running 9 GPU @280mhs, 7 RX580, 2 GTX 1070 in one rig.

Thank you for the program... it seems compared to Claymore... I get less stale shares.... and more hashes.....

one of the most stable Rig Rx580 8GB tune to no memory errors.. 8 Cards mining only Eth

Same Clock Settings
Claymore Reported Hash 240.92mhz Actual Hash 24 hours 231.56 mhz..
Phoenix Reported Hash 242.13mhz Actual Hash 24 hours 235.04 mhz..

The only thing your program is no good is that the setting of the mclock and cclock.... cannot overly undervolt... some cards are "bad" hence need to reduce mclock more to get 0 memory errors.....

Took the plunge and learn to set the clocks with Overdriventool! and together with your program works perfect!

I have 12 rigs... 9 Nvidia.. 3 Rx 580s all 8 cards... 3160mhz total... on ETH

all Currently mining with Phoenix...  The nvidia cards.. works even better Reported 303.13mhz Actual hash.. 301.58mhz @ Avg actual.. and even Actual hash hit 303.23 @ some point... 

Enjoy your dev fee... well given... Claymore performance is not as good Can't believe my rigs.. been using 10 months with claymore...... if your program came out earlier.. I would have earn few percent more in earnings... est $2000 more in the past 10 months.... $2000 is still money in these kind of market...

PhoenixMiner!

Thank you for adding EGEM to the options for direct mine!

 

Anyone have any issue with phoenix not setting clocks properly?  One of my 8 GPU 580 rigs has literally just 1 GPU that it keeps setting mclock to 2250 and it's the only value that won't change.  Just recently started happening after windows did a stupid update that I couldn't prevent.

Currently running adrenaline drivers 18.3.1 on all rigs.  No issues with any other rigs/GPUs.  Tested in claymore and clocks set as they should with that.  Just curious why one solitary GPU has mclock locked at 2250.  I've changed the cclock values and it works with this GPU, just not mclock.  It's a sapphire nitro+ 8g 580.  I would post my batch/config files but I know that shouldn't be an issue.  I've tried adjusting it to plenty of other settings.  Even when I set it to 0 for that GPU it still locks it at 2250.

Do a little bit normal, only a few days earlier a new version of phoenixminer 3.0 c has been released, with very few changes and a lot of problems. According to me the developer of phoenixminer has been sung and can not adjust much anymore, Basis of this miner is genoil (now ethminer which is much better) sees everyone, devfee and the rest has stolen the developer from claymore.ja if you do things here and there you're also a developer limited with your options unfortunately and very sad

PhoenixMiner, What there will be new in the next version?

  Please check the clocks, voltages, and fan speeds on your cards because PhoenixMiner doesn't support setting clocks and voltages on Nvidia cards. So if you were using Claymore for controlling these, you'll need to use a third party program with PhoenixMiner. We are going to implement support for setting the clocks, voltages, and fan speeds for Nvidia GPUs in a future version.

  Not yet, will be added in the future. For now you'll have to use Afterburner or something like this.

   As already mentioned above, you'll need to add a new-line character and the end of your JSON-PRC request.

   TLDR version: false positive caused by the anti-debug code in PhoenixMiner; we tried to contact AV software makers to fix this, some responded, most didn't. The best solution: add the folder where you keep your mining software in the "exclusions list" of Windows Defender or whatever AV software you are using. Also, it's a good idea to check if the checksum of the downloaded archive is the same as the one published here.

   Almost 100% sure that the problem is the size of the page file. Increase the page file size by 5-10 GB and you should be fine. As a rule of thumb the page file must be big enough to fit the DAGs of all cards plus another 5-10 GB for Windows stuff, so if you are using 8 cards and the DAG is about 2.6 GB, you'll need page file size at least 24 GB.

   Will check but seems strange. The first devfee period is sooner than even 1 hour and the next is 90 minutes after that so 1:23 h seems like an odd time to be something related to devfee.

    The optimized (-clkernel 1) kernels try to minimize resource usage and to allow the GPU to try "juggling" a few interleaving hardware threads in the same computing unit, while the alternative kernels try to use "manual" control over the way the threads are scheduled to run on the CU. In theory the first one should always be better (or at least not worse) than the second but ethash is so much limited by memory bandwidth that this is often not the case and the alternative kernels are faster instead.

   It seems like it starts creating the DAG again and for some reason the GPU is crashing during the DAG generation. You should try using the -coin  option to "tell" PhoenixMiner what coin you are mining because it seems it doesn't detect it correctly.


Let it run for about 24 hours and check again, the difference should be significantly less than that (like at least firmly above 150 MH/s).

   Eth is used as prefix for messages that deal with ethash mining (eth, etc, and all other coins are using ethash). It is a bit redundant at this time but at some point when we finally introduce dual mining, this will help separate the messages for the primary and the secondary algorithm.


   Can you please send us the log? A lot of things changed in 3.0 so it's hard to determine what's causing this without a log.

i am sure developer has got answer for that.he knows what was changed between two version of application's codes.

even if i set compatibility to windows 7, it crashes sometimes but at least it works sometimes. If i don't set compatibility to windows 7, it never works.
