Hi all,

I have tried using the commands to setup my min fan speed, but it does not seem to work, as they are working at 22-25%. Since it's summer, i'd like to keep the cards a bit colder and would like to boost the fan speed up to around 40-45% depending on how noisy they'd get.

I do not use any other 3rd party enhancers to control or setup the parameters on the GPUs other than the miner itself.

Should I setup the fan speed from the WATTMAN setting or am I doing something wrong here?

You have to set -tt for the desired target temperature, otherwise the -fanmin and -fanmax are ignored. For example -tt 65 -fanmin 30 -fanmax 50 - the miner will try to keep the temperature under or at 65C without letting the fans drop under 30% or over 50%.

Hi.

Just curious. Why does every version of PhoenixMiner has limitation on DAG size? Like, when Ethereum moves to some new epoch, I need to upgrade miner in order to keep using it.

It is because of the optimizations in the kernels - we do some of the work for each DAG epoch beforehand but this requires a lot of calculations and we are limited by the time they are taking.
In the latest version the limit is DAG 450, which will come more than two years from now and by that time Ethereum will probably use another algorithm anyway. We will increase this limit in the future releases to keep it about two years away at least, so you don't need to upgrade for the next 24 months or so.

What is a good way to calculate how much is actually getting taken in fees using Phoenix Miner.

I was thinking just ignore the "every 90 minute, mines for 35 seconds" aspect. That is just Phoenix Miner telling us how they obtain the 0.65%.

Then just do the following math:

I mined 1 ETH in x amount of days running Phoenix Miner steadily... Now just subtract whatever 0.65% of 1 ETH is from 1 ETH.

Sorry to sound so dumb, but if someone can tell me how to do some math on this that would be great.

In these 35 seconds PhoenixMiner will mine for our devfee wallet. In your example, if you made 1 ETH from mining, it is entirely yours, we just make on average another 0.0065 ETH for each 1 ETH you make. In other words, your 1 ETH is 99.35% and our 0.0065 ETH is 0.65% of the 100%

Is there a -minspeed option in the PhoenixMiner to set a minimum mining speed before the miner automatically reboots? One my cards dropped out and lowered my hash rate with no user notification or automatic miner/system action taken to fix it.

Yes, there is the -minrigspeed option: -minRigSpeed Restart the miner if avg 5 min speed is below MH/s. E.g. -minrigspeed 300 will restart the miner if the 5 min average speed drops bellow 300 MH/s.

Code:

.......

And then the miner falls back to the command prompt without any other action.

Mining with AMD works like charm.
What am I missing?

NVIDIA drivers are version 430.86, GPUs are any of GTX1060 6GB or 1080Ti

For Nvidia the ProgPOW support requires two additional DLL files. You need to download the archive PhoenixMiner_NVRTC_Windows.zip from https://mega.nz/#F!2VskDJrI!lsQsz1CdDe8x5cH3L8QaBw and extract it into the same folder as PhoenixMiner.exe. We didn't include these files in the main PhoenixMiner archive because they doubled its size and are needed only for ProgPOW mining with Nvidia cards.
