Make sure you have enough virtual memory (around 7500 MB per card).

I am running the 10.2 and it works smoothly (on 10X RX580)

Why 10.2 is so bad, very often crash, no problems with 9.6?

Set the virtualmemory to 64000 - I had the same problem with my rig of 580s at it was solved like this.

Hello,

I am having an issue with my claymore cryptonote miner constantly restarting every hour or two, usually with watchdog timeouts. I am running it on SMOS. I've had no issue running the claymore miner for Eth, system is usually stable for days on end. For mining ETH, I usually connect to a pool but for Cryptonight, I am trying out NiceHash.

My rigs use RX580 8G. 1150/2100/1000mV/PowerStage 4 - initially I had the voltage at 950mV and powerstage 3 as these settings have been solid for mining ETH.

My claymore initializing settings are: -wd 1 -r 0 -xpool stratum+ssl://cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:33355 -xwal yourWallet.yourRigName -xpsw x -allpools 1

Does anyone else run into a similar issue with stability?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you!

I have 10 X RX580 and after increasing the Virtual Memory to 48000 I still got the errors. After I increased to 64000 it worked smoothly (it may also depend on how many cards you have).

This version is not so easy to use because you have to adjust "-h" and "-dmem" values often, I will try to improve it soon.
1. "-dmem 1" requires twice more memory, make sure you have enough virtual memory. For example, if you have 6 GPUs 8GB, set virtual memory to 6*8=48GB.
2. Check how much memory miner allocates, it shows something like "(Memory used: 5128MB)", make sure you have this memory on your GPU.
3. You can see low hashrate if you use almost all memory on GPU, try to reduce "-h" value a bit.


Guys if you are getting the "GpuMiner dk2an0 failed" error, be sure to note Claymore's comments above. I was initially getting the same error with my RX480 8GB rig. Lowering to -h 1024 will solve the issue but make the program only see 4GB on my cards. After changing page file to 48GB, the miner runs beautifully with default -h and -dmem settings.

Ellesmere RX480 8GB, same modded BIOS, default miner settings:
CryptoNote Miner 9.7 - 850 H/s
CryptoNote Miner 10 - 987 H/s

Thanks Claymore!
