Hey All,

Just switched from Claymore 11.9, so hoping things are more stable now.

I'm running Windows 10 (1709) AMD RX480 Nitro+ 8Gb Samsung Cards using 18.2.1 driver and latest Phoenix Miner 3.0c

But am a little perplexed, when setting -tt 59 in the cmd line, it does not seem to adhere to it and most cards are over this setting around 64 with fanspeed around 40%


Why?

-tt 59 is the temperature it targets, for example if your fan rpm speed is 3000 and you dont set anything then it will be at 100% 3000 rpm to hit that temperature, if you want your fan with fixed speed then you must set -fanmax 59.

The problem about this miner is that it crashes a lot at the beginning, from 10 tries, 7 times it crashed and that is clean install with window s 1709, in claymore it never crashes, if you are not at home and it restarts and crashes you lose hours of mining. So the dev needs to fix this thing, if it does not crash at beginning then is very stable, need to get through the starting point, need a new version with the fix.
