I run it on HiveOS. Wrote a little script that sets the fans and the voltages and other stuff. Then it monitors the miner for crashes. It runs days, stable as a rock with 470 and 580 cards.
Very nice miner. Would not hurt it to be incorporated into HiveOS but it runs just as fine now.

Also if you undervolt it it has really low power consumption. Love lyra2z.

yep it would work on the polaris gpu's but with vega's you need a total different driver set as the current driver requires pcie atomics

It's sad but it's true. But kernel related things it's not my zone of responsibility. I'm can't say when and how fast something changes in HiveOS

I presume that would mean that it won't be possible to monitor it through HiveOS webpage etc? It would be nice to be able to monitor it remotely without installing another third party tool. Is that an option?

tdxminer now under test for adding to HiveOS.

Successfully tested 470/470/480/580 cards.

Some hanging issues was detected - in some cases miner process became zombie and help in this case, only reboot.
Also would be nice if miner will have API for quering his status, statistics etc ...

How did you do that? AFAIK the web dashboard doesn't allow custom miners.
I could fake the dashboard to think that I'm running lolminer by slightly modifying the lolHelper, but that's an ugly way of doing it.

As I write before it's under testing. And yes you are right web interface don't allow add custom miner. But also 'yes' it's tdxminer in HiveOS.
At this point I'm would notice that at HiveOS forum I'm created topic for miner request to add. It's part of this work.

After a week testing results such as:
- miner run up to 5d on one rig but on the rest had to reboot after 1-2-3 days.
- also has some issues with stats (it's not always work correctly. I'm know about it and try to improve next days).
After that can hope be in time to next HiveOS release.

Hi All

Big thumbs up to the dev on this miner. even though it is a beta, it runsmore stable than most other miners I have come accross!!!

Just a quick question, must the onboard be disabled on the rig for all six cards to work?On 5 cards it works like a beast but pluggin in no 6 then only one card mines after that.

Adios

Going to be a long time before that happens. The Hive dev will nned the driver that combines amdgpu driver with latest rocm. The current combo is on rocm 1.6.1 so no multi vega on that yet.

I'm glad to hear that the miner is being tested right now. Hopefully it will work out for it to be added to HiveOS. I have read that it's possible to add it manually, but it's definitely better to have it built into the OS so to speak.

Hello,

It might be a stupid question but still, I'll ask nevertheless.

As it seems the CUDA algo everybody use sucks a lot on NVIDIA cards (card not fully loaded, half hashrate of what you have on VEGA on 1080Ti), i'm wondering. Does it worth a try running this (OpenCL ?) miner on NVIDIA ?

Ubuntu will not work right out of the box since it won't have drivers. HiveOS will have amdgpu-pro drivers for Polaris GPUs out of the box.

Ok, but if I install HiveOS it won't have TDXminer on, will it.
Would I be able to install it manually?

Right, tdxminer is not available by default in HiveOS and you will have to download it.
If you're using a graphical interface, the distro should have a browser and archive extractor installed.
If you're using a terminal interface, you can run the following command to download and extract the archive:

Code:

wget -O - https://github.com/todxx/tdxminer/releases/download/v0.2.2.2/tdxminer-v0.2.2.2.tgz | tar -xz

In either case, you will need a terminal to run the miner.

Good miner, thanks. AMD is slaughtering nV Grin

Looks like mem clock not important on this algo, lower your mem clock as much as you can.

If you want to mine with vegas on ubuntu you need to use
16.04.3 version
4.16.0-996-lowlatency kernel
You also should delete intel-microcode and all i915 modules... I could write manual, but not today ...

Where do you find the 4.16.0-996-lowlatency kernal.. I looked and can only find linux-image-4.16.0-041600-lowlatency_4.16.0-041600

I want to try to run Ubuntu within Windows (via Oracle VM).
Does anyone know how I can set the PCIe passthrough for the GPUs in Windows?

for amd its a headache : /
you will need to make sure you have a cpu that supports "Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d)" and is enabled
and thats just step one haha (you need to also blacklist/disable the factory neauvou driver which is GREAT fun Tongue

)
google is your friend, but honestly, its less headache to just dualboot ubuntu Tongue

Oh dear.
I tried to just slap the Ubuntu iso above onto a usb stick and boot from there but it generated a lot of errors and failed for whatever reason... Sad

Fist of all i should thank the dev for making the vega very profitable again

Here is what i did

6x Vega 56 (MSI Airboost OC)
Asus B250 Mining Expert Mobo with PCI-E 1x risers and Gen3 in BIOS

1. Freshly Installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop (http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/)
2. Followed the ROCM AMD Driver Installation (https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm)

Created a Fan Control Script (amd-fan.sh)

#!/bin/bash
/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi -d 0 --setfan 150
/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi -d 1 --setfan 150
/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi -d 2 --setfan 150
/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi -d 3 --setfan 150
/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi -d 4 --setfan 150
/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi -d 5 --setfan 150
exit 0

No other Overclocking as it does not improve my hashrate but the Power consumption but with the stock settings and fan limit each card is consuming 150W so total 900W

https://imgur.com/xzGT0Sk

At present getting 35Mhs and miner is very stable, actually impressed with it

Will play with OCs soon and update

I must say Vega is pretty stable on linux, i have been mining Haven, Loki on windows and i know how hard to keep watching the miner crash, thanks a lot Dev @todxx

Did you run your display out of IGFX or one of the PCIe GPUs?

out of GPU, initially i did run with IGD but ubuntu started rebooting and also the GPUID with rocm keeps changing so disabled the IGD and put a dummy plug on one GPU and managing through ssh

If you have flashed/bios modded your card (remove all of them), install ubuntu 16.04, rocm drivers and openssh-server, then put all the cards back on the PCI-e with dummy plug on the primary GPU (confgure PEG in bios), it works

Great work you got there, 3% is a low dev fee when RXs mine together with 1080TIs, the kernel can fit an rx460/560? or is there too much work to do? Wanna mine lyra on the little guys too!

Quote from: iTiamo on May 08, 2018, 08:14:30 AM

What is the power usage like for RX 570/580? Anyone with some info on this?

from 120w to 140w per GPU, depending on how much you can overclock and undervolt!

Thanks. It's nice to hear people are enjoying the miner

Adding support for rx460/560 with the amdgpu-pro drivers would take some effort, and I'm currently focused on another project.
However, I *think* they should work with the miner as is on the ROCm drivers. The ROCm 1.8 drivers remove the requirement of PCIe link width for Polaris cards, so typical x1 risers work, but they will need to run at PCIe gen3.
I have not tested any rx460/560 as I don't have hardware available.

I found ROCm 1.8 changes description kind of confusing. For example, I have Haswell CPUs with PCIe 3.0 support, but my motherboards (Asrock BTC 2.0) have only PCIe 2.0 ports and I run 480/580 AMD cards on x16-x1 raisers. Would I be able to mine with tdxminer at all? Thanks =)
