Topic: Right way to OC amd RX6600 under ubuntu 20 (Read 225 times)

If you can run ubuntu OS for your mining rig then you can do the same with mining OS like hive, I'm here to tell you that hiveOS or simple mining OS will get your miner working straight away ubuntu OS is a very bad one too stressful to use for mining

Ubuntu 22.04 is the next LTS version. AMDGPU drivers will be made for that release.
Do note that AMD only supplies drivers for Ubuntu LTS releases, RHEL, CentOS and SLED/SLES 15 anything other is just a hit or miss. I usually run Debian testing/bookworm and sofar am still unable to get the RX 6600 XT properly working. I have Ubuntu 20.04.3 installed in a seperate partition so I could use the RX 6600 XT for mining (dual-boot) and under Debian testing?bookworm I program/script/game with my GTX 1070.

Hi Rickirs, did you upgrade to Ubuntu 21?

I'm on 21.04 and I'm unable to make it work, lolMiner and TeamRedMiner, tested.

I installed and clinfo outputs a platform with no devices


Any advice?

Actually I found a utility for Amd big navi lineup, you may see my thread here.

Now only problem is that I need to understand how to use it as it has got a lot of things.

For the purpose I use my 2 rigs haven't needed a riser yet I do have a PCIe riser for vertical mounting (not used yet). Maybe I should get just 1 mining riser to experiment with it.
I have tried lolMiner but after a few minutes I get a hard lock and have to reboot my rig with the RX 6600 XT same happens with NBMiner. GMiner and PhoenixMiner do work but I
use PhoenixMiner as it one of the few I can set -ttj, -ttmem, -fpwm -cclock, -cvddc and -mclock. Have to try TRM again when I feel like it.

I am open for different solutions as long as it is on linux.

Well, as said its not in primary slot, its on riser, was not being detected then swapping opencL stuff from newer driver made it work but only under TeamRedMiner

I am just wondering why PhoenixMiner is not working with you as it works fine with Ubuntu 20.4.2/3 and the andgpu-pro-drivers-21.30 here.

Forget the Nvidia stuff as I run a mixed rig.

See the options I used for PhoenixMiner do note some options are absolute options and some others option have a relative value for the Navi cards.

The rejected shares are from a hiccup at my isp and I still have to play around with the settings some more but I am a bit lazy.
The mmclock on Linux is fixed at 1000 MHz but I have manged to incraese it.
Hope this helps

Update, I got things messed up, nothing was working. Had to do clean install and everything.

My primary issue is to find way to increase memoryclock speed, since phoenixminer is not working and TeamRedminer doesn't have lots of choices to adjust it. What is right way for it ?

Followed this guide.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gpumining/comments/ptmyjd/ubuntu_20043_amdgpu_2130_opencl_rocr_rocm/

Used :
since there was no error during install, I assume that makes opencl as installed.

Further, as said, can't find way to overclock memory.

Have you install opencl-headers?

The only thing I did to install the drivers was amdgpu-install -y --opencl=rocr --headless and making sure opencl-headers was installed and made a symlink " ln -s /opt/amdgpu-pro/bin/clinfo  /usr/bin/clinfo" after purging the ubuntu clinfo.
The error tells me that opencl might not be correctly installed.
Had the same error when I was pixxing around installing the amdgpu-pro-driver-21.30

Hope this helps a bit.

Make sure you run under sudo/root

It is able to see my card but when I start it, I see this error :


Currently running on teamredminer , 26.7 Mhz , 44W  .
Already set to compute mode using CoreCtrl

There is a compute mode but you have to go through gpu the settings to find it.
Make sure OpenCL is working properly,as you seem to run Ubuntu 20.04.2/3 and if you have installed the amdgpu-pro-21.30 correctly PhoenixMiner should recognize your card. It may say unrecognized OpenCL but it should start mining.

Running GTX 1070 and RX 6600 XT.

Haven't had the time to play with the settings much as some RX 6xxx (XT) require relative value instead of absolut values and I am still finding out which ones.
Would wish PhoenixMiner would give some better instructions about the RX 6xxx (XT) cards as that would help alot.

CoreCtrl, already tried that, since no binary is available, can't get it compiled as always one or other thing is messing.

EDIT:
Got CoreCtrl working but there is no way to set Memory Clock, only coreClock , voltage and fan is available.

Have a look at https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl as it can control amd cpu and amd gpu. I have had mixed results with it YMMV.
It works a bit like the AMD Radeon Software on windows.

Hi,
I am on linux, I got my AMD MSI RX6600 working on a riser with some other Nvidia cards using this guide :
https://www.reddit.com/r/gpumining/comments/ptmyjd/ubuntu_20043_amdgpu_2130_opencl_rocr_rocm/

It is working under TeamRedMiner but not with phoenixMiner.

Now I am getting this :
I have already added following to Kernel boot, which reduced power usage automatically from 88W to 44W but also reduced 23MH from 26MH


Now its confusing as there are guides to overclock however, none is working.
My AMD Card is on PCIe 10 lane,

I must follow this : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Overclocking
eg:

Since I have multiple GPU but only one AMD GPU, is it card0 then ?

Can anyone point me what exactly I need to follow to get about 30MHz from this card (as others are getting )

It is said I need to do following overclocking but I am not sure where exactly ,
