Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[needhelp2]

I was thinking I am on the Zcash miner thread, apparently I was wrong.  

+1

just comparing profitability and card performances.

I've had a look on pool.to.be.com XMR pool and they have had a massive spike in hashrate.  I wonder if this is due to people moving away from ZEC now that the price has dropped to literally just over $50 a coin?

Is monero now the coin to mine now that ZEC and ETH seem to be in decline (although XMR is not exactly holding its price in the market right now it does seem more stable than those two)?

It's normal... Don't bother so much, just keep them around 60-70 degrees and you are fine... By the way do you run it undervolted?

nope stock... what setting you use? can you share it? WHat you use for the underwolting? afterburner?

Yes afterburner. For undervolting just go into the settings, activate "unlock voltage control" and then lower you core voltage from 1200 mV to 1090 mV. Make sure you do this for BOTH cores (in settings you can activate "synchronize settings for similar graphic processors"). It's the lowest point where I could find the card to be stable and mining with the same speed. The temperature should drop 5-8 degrees, but this depends also on the environment.

thank you very much sensei!

i tried your recomendations and mi temperatures went down from 62 °C and 71°C  with 80% fann speed to 58-60 °C first core  and 64-67°C with 65% fann speed! Once again thx!

have to look for some settings fo my "heavily" overclocked R9 390 and R9 290

3x MSI R9 290 gaming 4 GB

GPU clock:   +9% = 1064 Mhz
Power limit: +9%
Memory clock: 1350 Mhz

3x GIGABYTE R9 390 G1 WINDFORCE 2X Gaming 8GB

GPU clock:   +9% = 1117 Mhz
Power limit: +9%
Memory clock: 1610 Mhz

3x MSI R9 390 gaming 8 GB

GPU clock:   +10% = 1144 Mhz
Power limit: +10%
Memory clock: 1650 Mhz

Do any1 have a recomendation to lover the temps but having the same hash power? Im not looking in lowing the power consuption just the temps....

Many thanks in advanced...

[marcus_v]

looks like between 950 h and 1000 h max if I could only get the hash count higher it would be close to 2000 it crashes if I increase more than -h 2048. maybe my 390x will do it. nope can't increase the hashes. suppose to be more powerful wonder what happened. just punched in the numbers now monero now whoops zcrash in profitabilty for my 480 for now, for my 390x zcash is better choice

I found that lowering voltage can lower temps . it is ok for zcash and ether does not effect my hashrate. other than that I found it crashes with other algo's

All this XMR talk lately makes me wanna switch a rig from ZEC to XMR..

Anyone mining XMR direct to a pool address?

how much mV you undervolt? 100 mV? or more?

ty for any advice...

I do -100

not me know any good pools that let you do that.

miningpoolhub allows you to mine to your account and then you can choose what your minimum withdrawl is and where it goes to, they use a 0.9% mining fee.

They have lots of pools including ZEC, XMR and ETH or arer you looking for one that lets you mine direct to exchange such as poloniex?

if you are looking for ones that will allow you to mine to a exchange (such as poloniex) they are out there as well but you cannot withdraw until you have mined 5 XMR

http://dwarfpool.com/xmr, they pay out hourly, daily and allow manual payouts.
I would only use dwarfpool (and have been for years)

[bensam1231]

@Claymore any ETA on when you're going to add Nvidia support? Your AMD users are getting bored of Equihash... you should show them there is a lot more hash out there... ^^

[ioglnx]

As he stated many times there won't be NVIDIA support.

I've been mining ZEC direct to a Poloniex address and haven't had any problems for the past month, if I can do the same with XMR that'd be great as I don't have to bother with syncing the XMR blockchain/addresses etc...

Can't withdraw XMR - but selling for BTC should be ok right? (no minimums?)

going to try dwarf pool.

He's never said he'll NEVER support Nvidia, he just currently doesn't support it. Silly goose type Nvidia in the search box.

Doesnt look as though they will be supporting it in the SA thread either.  All the talk I see over there about a new miner involves AMD, same with the talk of the new optiminer.  They also seem to be more about windows than linux as well

Looks like its time to sell our GPUs and buy some Antminers.

Pretty much anything minable (except ETC) is getting hammered today...

Needs to be something recent if you are going for antminers unless you have free electric.  According to nicehash profit calculator the minimum needed to turn a profit with 10c k/w power costs is a S7LN
