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

[AriesIV10]

9.2 isn't stable like old releases for all systems. Mostly it fails in 6 X vga rigs. I updated from 9.0 to 9.2 and I always got gpu0 hangs.

Strange, for me it is more stable than 9.1 or 9.0 ( 6x 480s - modified for ETH but @ 1200/1950 )...

I have 3 rigs wwith 6 X 8gb 470 nitro. All give same error ''gpu0 hangs'' after miner starts in a few minutes. This is the same in my friend 6 X rigs But there is no problem in rigs which have less then 6 gpu. And also I must say that with 9.0 all rigs are stable.

Might want to check your PSU.  If you are over 80%, you may want to increase the PSU size.  This worked for me when I had the same issues.

Yeah, version 9.x doesn't like PSU with poor ripple suppression, or overloaded.  I have 2 rigs of 6x 8gb 470 nitro never had a crash.  Pulling 920w with 1200w EVGA platinum psu, 1260 core, 2000 mem, 1040mv core, 1750 strap.  If it is same card always, check risers.  I did have one card that for some reason hated being on Win10 though, moved to a Win7 rig.  Have 6 rigs, never had CZM crash, even on an old 850w Seasonic Bronze from the Litecoin days.

instead reducing power limit to -30 worked for me without lossing too much hash

All psus that connected the rigs are more powerfull then systems need. This isn't psu related. I think last optimization isn't stable in all systems. This is the first time that I live such a problem.
by the ay all are working with 9.0 now

[KingH80]

With 9.2 - 370 h/s. Thats cool.
Only one question remains - how? All is stock.

BIOS mod ? 370/s i have 225 ? What do you change pm me please

I had a same error with 9.2. switched back to 9.1 now. My rig hang after ~24 hours.

Currently I can only confirm issue with gpu-pro drivers that causes a lot of messages to syslog (and therefore high CPU load on multi-GPU systems), I'm working on it.

Thanks a lot, Linux version is highly appreciated.

I am not a fan of high hash rates for network, but I like your miners stability and management features. I had to use Optiminer on Linux and a telemetry convertor to make it compatible with Claymore's utility and own ethmon port (web-based monitoring). Now I just drag'n'drop it instead of Optiminer (that worked but was unstable and often crashed) and quite happy.

It can be unstable on some PSUs under low load if they have poor ripple suppression. you can also try reducing intensity, or lowering clocks.  I run all on -i 8, but some people have to run lower intensity.

[denis1995]

Hahahahaha linux version. Before saying he will never suport linux because he dont like the linux haters and now what? I cant stop laughing for real.  Well finaly the money is more important than the dignity. Happy holidays  xdd

What are your settings:

___________ GPUs
_____ SOLs
_____ SOLs per GPU
_____ Watts, _____ Amps at the wall
_____ W/SOL
_____ mem, _____ core
______W (gold/Platinum) PSU

I think evga 1300 g2 is enough

anyone know what this means

20:18:10:261   904   Frontend phase failed compilation.
Error: Compilation from LLVMIR binary to IL text failed!
20:18:10:261   904   16x binary failed, try 15x

cheers

Most of shares will be rejected: GPU does not work properly. It must be drivers if you use stock clocks, try different drivers. In next update I will improve compatibility.

Thanks Claymore for everything and wishing u a great Xmas (if u celebrate it!)

lol next post after this quote was asking for ETA of next update..... wait till next year and give the programmer a break !!!!

This is not critical error, so don't worry. Miner tries different binaries to select the best, if you use 15.x drivers then attempt to load 16.x binary will cause this message.

Are bioses moded? 1300G2 is enough. What clocks?

I m reading every single comment in the thread and i also read yout post 40 day ago.


NVidia: if I release miner for NVidia, these haters will again say that I stole SA engine. So there will not be NVidia version.
I think other devs will create public miners with similar speed for Linux and NVidia soon.

But this doesnt matter, if you think this is ok so keep doing it. No one can tell you what to do or what not its your choice.

You forgot to quote this:

It's not about money, there are several reasons why I'm not going to release ZCash miner for Linux in near future - most of haters who say that I stole SA engine are on Linux so let's they use some different miner. Also I don't like to see as someone applies IDA to my miner to see how it works. Also I don't like Linux, it's a pain for me.

So you can see that I did not say that I will never release Linux version again, I only said I won't do it "in near future" and it was >40 days ago.
Though I clearly mentioned that there will not be Nvidia version.

That solution will not work if you have a user password. Unfortunately I'm stuck in that situation on one rig(windows isn't registered so it won't let me remove the password) and I have to teamviewer in, which gets windows to the desktop, so the .bat in startfolder loads


EDIT: After posting my reply I reread and noticed a slight difference. I have my shortcut in shell:startup, not shell:common startup. I see that using common startup is in the ProgramData tree, instead of the AppData tree. So I'll have to test it.

You can also try to create new Windows user account w/o password and delete old account. It must be possible even on non-activated OS.

Didn't think of that, since I just undervolt on Polaris.  It should reduce the power spikes, which would help out.  Power spikes are very short, so shouldn't slow much.

I just started with two 7950's and they both start out strong around 200 sol/s but then GPU0 drops to around 150 sol/s.  I'm pretty sure GPU0 is the one connected to a monitor.  I tried disconnecting it and plugging a dummy plug into GPU 1 and none of that seemed to help.

I've had clocks at 1050/1500 and various combinations of cclock while leaving memclock at 1500

I've tried a few different -i settings.

I also tried changing voltage settings based on some previous thread inputs: -cvddc 1140 -mvddc 1150  Again, it started strong around 200 sol/s on GPU 0 but then gradually decreased back to the 150 sol/s range.

I don't think my bios supports vddc changes.  I can see the clocks changing but not the volts.

Both GPU temps are at 55C

Any ideas on how to keep GPU 0 up around 200 sol/s?
