New beta version with added hardware control features: PhoenixMiner 2.7b. It can be downloaded from here:
  https://mega.nz/#F!HI9lnDAS!gIFL-f82FK1MK16amCv_iQ

  Here are the checksums to verify the download:
Code:
   File: PhoenixMiner_2.7b.zip
   SHA-1: e7eae3645429cb06178aa69728235e842c2548a8
 SHA-256: b872fed471b72911e6980d08496c3da03867dd82e3175241a9d67b2686921c9f

   Note that this is not an official release and the solo mining features are not included in it (they will be included in the final 2.7 release). The changes are:
  • Added support for controlling fans, clocks and voltages on AMD cards (use the command-line options -tt, -fanmin, -fanmax, -tmax, -powlim, -cclock, -cvddc, -mclock, -mvddc)
  • Improved GPU matching code to fix a problem with mismatched temperatures/fan speeds on Nvidia GPUs

  Here are some important notes about the hardware control options:
  • If you specify a single value (e.g. -cvddc 1150), it will be used on all cards. Specify different values for each card like this (separate with comma): -cvddc 1100,1100,1150,1120,1090 If the specified values are less than the number of GPUs, the rest of GPUs will use the default values.
  • We have tested only on relatively recent AMD GPUs (RX460/470/480/560/570/580 and Vega). Your results may vary with older GPUs.
  • The blockchain beta drivers from AMD show quite unstable results - often the voltages don't stick at all or revert back to the default after some time. For best results use the newest drivers from AMD: 18.1.1 or 18.2.1, where most of the bugs are fixed.
  • -tmax specifies the temperature at which the GPU should start to throttle (because the fans can't keep up).
  • If you use other programs for hardware control, conflicts are possible and quite likely. Use something like GPU-Z to monitor the voltages, etc. MSI Afterburner also seems to behave OK (so you can use it to control the Nvidia cards while AMD cards are controller by PhoenixMiner).
  • This should be obvious but still: if given clocks/voltages are causing crahses/freezes/incorrect shares when set with third-party program, they will be just as much unstable when set via PhoenixMiner hardware control options.

thanks and good job Smiley
with 2.6 i make 169mh/s, now with 2.7b 171mh/s.
i have a better hashrate with fury x, same for rx470.

How much power and what hashing speed for your Fury X please ?

How to set target temperature 55 degree celsius for ex ?

it is -tt 55 ?

Quote
-tt Set fan control target temperature (special values: 0 - no HW monitoring on ALL cards,
     1-4 - only monitoring on all cards with 30-120 seconds interval, negative - fixed fan speed at n %)


amd rx 580. small bug. at first shows 0% for some cards, then shows correct. https://imgur.com/a/zvUG6



using -tmax 80 -tt 55 -fanmin 55 -fanmax 85 -cclock 1150 -mvddc 900 -mclock 2100 -cvddc 900

all looks fine and stable. no need of afterburner and overdriventool. latest AMD driver 18.2.3.

I'm having the exact same issue with 2.6 and 2.7b on one of my rigs (4x RX470, 2x RX580) running the blockchain beta drivers from AMD.
However, on my two other rigs, 2.6 and 2.7b both run fine, both those are all RX560s with AMD 18.1.1 drivers.
Are you also running the blockchain beta drivers? If so, it might be driver related.

New beta version with added hardware control features: PhoenixMiner 2.7b.

Many many thanks for this version! It was exactly what I needed!! Works like a charm on my two RX560 rigs using AMD 18.1.1 drivers with the following settings:
-cclock 1100 -mclock 2100 -cvddc 850 -tt 75

running 2.7b and using the -tt 65 flag.

working excellent, and now the power draw has dropped 30W.

228MH/s with 1090W at the wall. before -tt fan control on 2.6 it was pulling 1120W from the wall.

back to the same power draw as claymore, and kept the higher hashrate. i'm not sure what it is about the lack of fan control causing high power draw, maybe the VRMs not getting enough airflow and becoming very inefficient.

either way, i like it! good job team.

Did you see speed improvement?

Been running 2.6 for a while but now a 1060 6gb card of mine is consistently giving me "incorrect eth share."  I switch to 2.7a, didn't help.  I've turned the card back to stock, 100% power +0 core +0 mem, still incorrect shares, I've swapped the card to a different PCI slot, no change.  I tried claymore and the card will mine fine and not get incorrect shares. 

you have too much overclock...

Like I said, I turned it back to stock (NO OC) and it still gives the same errors.

I have DDU'd my driver, and reinstalled to no avail. nvidia driver 390.77, same driver as my other nvidia based rig thats working just fine

i got this error one time , it's about OC for me ....
reset OC ,and re-test or check/change  riser after .....

There was no overclock applied. It was completely stock.

But I don’t know what it was but after updating to the most recent version of Windows 10, the problem seems to have gone away.

Old version: 1511
New version: 1709

Works fine now.

Same as you i have 2 righs completly the same 1070 Dual OCs , they are basicaly mirrors.
1 works fine the other has the error you had, i have the latest windows 10 1709 and i am still getting that error after 10/12 hours of running.
Drives me crazy.

turn off all the nvidia audiodevices in devicemanager. for me it helped to solve some weird (driver i think) related stuff.

Thanks , i`ve just disabled all the audio related devices. and under clocked 1 gpu to the lowest possible and seems stable for 2/3 hours now.
I think i might have a bad riser that stops relaying info to the miner or something.

  Here are the checksums to verify the download:

   Note that this is not an official release and the solo mining features are not included in it (they will be included in the final 2.7 release). The changes are:
  • Added support for controlling fans, clocks and voltages on AMD cards (use the command-line options -tt, -fanmin, -fanmax, -tmax, -powlim, -cclock, -cvddc, -mclock, -mvddc)
  • Improved GPU matching code to fix a problem with mismatched temperatures/fan speeds on Nvidia GPUs

  Here are some important notes about the hardware control options:
  • If you specify a single value (e.g. -cvddc 1150), it will be used on all cards. Specify different values for each card like this (separate with comma): -cvddc 1100,1100,1150,1120,1090 If the specified values are less than the number of GPUs, the rest of GPUs will use the default values.
  • We have tested only on relatively recent AMD GPUs (RX460/470/480/560/570/580 and Vega). Your results may vary with older GPUs.
  • The blockchain beta drivers from AMD show quite unstable results - often the voltages don't stick at all or revert back to the default after some time. For best results use the newest drivers from AMD: 18.1.1 or 18.2.1, where most of the bugs are fixed.
  • -tmax specifies the temperature at which the GPU should start to throttle (because the fans can't keep up).
  • If you use other programs for hardware control, conflicts are possible and quite likely. Use something like GPU-Z to monitor the voltages, etc. MSI Afterburner also seems to behave OK (so you can use it to control the Nvidia cards while AMD cards are controller by PhoenixMiner).
  • This should be obvious but still: if given clocks/voltages are causing crahses/freezes/incorrect shares when set with third-party program, they will be just as much unstable when set via PhoenixMiner hardware control options.

would these controls be also working for NVidias?
 Not at this time. We had our hands full with AMD's semi-documented library and the Nvidia doesn't provide any documentation for the overclocking features of NVAPI. But we will definitely try to make it work in the future, but no promises as to when it will be ready.

Developers please make option like Claymores -altnum, but in oposite. I want my GPUs be numbered from ZERO as all other miners and gpu settings software do. First GPU should be GPU0. Thanks. Your numbering starting from 1 makes me more diffucult to identify while tuning cards.
 Well, as C programmers we can certainly see the appeal of indexes starting from 0 Smiley We'll include in the TODO list of nice-to-have options, but no ETA.

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool pool.ellaism.org:8008 -wal Wallet.Worker -cdm 0 -amd -wdog 0 -log 0 -rmode 2
  This pool seems to require the worker to be specified separately like this (-wal must contain only the wallet address):
Code:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool pool.ellaism.org:8008 -wal Wallet -worker Worker -cdm 0 -amd -wdog 0 -log 0 -rmode 2


Hi All,

I recently updated to 2.7a. Prior to this update i had quite the stable rig, that required very little attention. Now it seems its quite the opposite. The latest mystery. I have a 5 x RX 580 rig / win 10 / Corsair HX750i & 1200W server PSU / 4gb / 16 Vram.

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool asia1.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 asia1.ethermine.org:14444 -ewal xxx.xxx -pass x -minspeed 147 -rmode 2 -mi 11 -coin eth -ptimeout 20

It had been hashing for 24 hours, when one of the GPU's for a minute went from 30 to 23. This then triggered the minspeed alert and reboot.

For the next 4 hours (while i was asleep) the computer kept rebooting as the DAG file couldn't be allocated/generated. Here is the first time stamp/log file.

....

All of a sudden at 8.10 after about 20+ reboots (same as above) it suddenly starts allocating/generating DAG file.

Any ideas why this might be the case, or is the 7a release a bit buggy compared to earlier versions ?

Many thanks.
 There seems to be a problem with light cache generation, which normally shoudn't take more than 5-15 seconds and is done entirely on the CPU. Probably something else loads the CPU to 100% with high priority task and the light cache just can't be generated in time so the watchdog is kicking in. Check the CPU load in Task Manager if this behavior repeats and note which program "eats" the CPU time (PhoenixMiner.exe should only load one core to 100% during light cache generation and then keep it at nearly idle during normal operation).

My rig keeps restarting when I use PhoenixMiner 2.6. I've no problem running Claymore, it's very stable but I'd like to try Phoenix as a lot of people have a good opinion about it. Here is the log of Phoenixminer ( https://imgur.com/uiFEcPm ). From what I can see, it hungs one of my gpus and then restars the system, no error so to say. Am I missing some parameteres? My settings are the same as in Claymore, i just ported the start.bat. Any ideas appreciated.
  If it is always the same card probably it is either overclocked with Clyamore's dual miner and PhoenixMiner just ignores these options and runs the cards with their stock settings, or the cards is "on the edge" clock/voltage wise and the small increase of mining speed from PhoenixMiner pushes it over the edge. Lower the clock speed or up the voltage just a little bit on GPU2 and see if this fixes the problem (you can also try the new PhoenixMiner 2.7b which has support for the hardware control options).

r7 370 2g can be mining eth with this program?
  You can mine Pirl, Ellaism, Ubq, Expanse, etc. The profitability is usually about 80-90% of ETH, so  2 GB cards are still quite usable for mining.

New beta version with added hardware control features: PhoenixMiner 2.7b. It can be downloaded from here:
  (MEGA links are no longer active)

  Here are the checksums to verify the download:
Code:
   File: PhoenixMiner_2.7b.zip
   SHA-1: e7eae3645429cb06178aa69728235e842c2548a8
 SHA-256: b872fed471b72911e6980d08496c3da03867dd82e3175241a9d67b2686921c9f
 SHA-512: c787e1383048af9c67ab2f26f1f5eadf061c8fb32a9ae4592c876acd881cdb6ffca2baa2f669204671fd27d4add4d10dd20762f9d35324e89f86f8c49eef68f4

   Note that this is not an official release and the solo mining features are not included in it (they will be included in the final 2.7 release). The changes are:
  • Added support for controlling fans, clocks and voltages on AMD cards (use the command-line options -tt, -fanmin, -fanmax, -tmax, -powlim, -cclock, -cvddc, -mclock, -mvddc)
  • Improved GPU matching code to fix a problem with mismatched temperatures/fan speeds on Nvidia GPUs

  Here are some important notes about the hardware control options:
  • If you specify a single value (e.g. -cvddc 1150), it will be used on all cards. Specify different values for each card like this (separate with comma): -cvddc 1100,1100,1150,1120,1090 If the specified values are less than the number of GPUs, the rest of GPUs will use the default values.
  • We have tested only on relatively recent AMD GPUs (RX460/470/480/560/570/580 and Vega). Your results may vary with older GPUs.
  • The blockchain beta drivers from AMD show quite unstable results - often the voltages don't stick at all or revert back to the default after some time. For best results use the newest drivers from AMD: 18.1.1 or 18.2.1, where most of the bugs are fixed.
  • -tmax specifies the temperature at which the GPU should start to throttle (because the fans can't keep up).
  • If you use other programs for hardware control, conflicts are possible and quite likely. Use something like GPU-Z to monitor the voltages, etc. MSI Afterburner also seems to behave OK (so you can use it to control the Nvidia cards while AMD cards are controller by PhoenixMiner).
  • This should be obvious but still: if given clocks/voltages are causing crahses/freezes/incorrect shares when set with third-party program, they will be just as much unstable when set via PhoenixMiner hardware control options.

No, to mine ETH you need at least 3GB VRAM videocard...

This miner keeps crashing on me, when claymore is not. Running 3x 1060s (one 3Gb, two 6Gb). Within 10 minutes it'll start to print a new line (in green I think), and it stops on the first letter, 'E'.

Doesn't respond to anything. Hard crash.
