Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've built a third mining machine using Windows 10, and currently it has one RX 580 8GB card an an old 7970 3GB card in it. I've installed the latest AMD 17.4.4 drivers, and I copied over my setup from my previous miner including, Claymore miner 9.5 and my batch file from my other miner.

When I run the claymore miner it seems to run OK but I never get the purple line telling me the GPU temperature/fan speed! What am I missing? I don't remember ever having to turn that on before, and I'm using the same batch script I use on my other miner which DOES print out the GPU temperature/fan speed. I copied over the entire folder where I keep the miner and it's config files, and my batch files, etc. so I'm very confused.

Also does anyone know what decred intensity is a good starting point for an RX 580? Thanks!

You need to plug in a monitor or dummy plug for the driver to be able to read and set the temperature and fan speeds. I use -ethi 8 and -dcri 26 dual mining.

Thank you! So I'm assuming this is an AMD thing then, yes? Because my Nvidia based rig doesn't have a dummy plug but still prints out the GPU temp/fan speed.

Yes, the monitor is required for the AMD drivers. Also a correction, with the latest epoch I get better ETH hash with -dcri 25.
