As I mentioned this before, it is possible it doesn't work without modifying sgminer to work with it. Strange though, a user claimed it compiled the kernel for him.

This opencl code has 11 kernels instead of just one as in regular sgminer. The speed improvement comes from better use of SIMD by executing shorter kernels instead of a single long one. There's some memory overhead because of it, but it's largelly compensated by the speed improvement.

How can i make this work with conf file and not bat file ?
And btw if you dont fix the missing temps of the cards, this would be a no go ... too risky

Download the mingw version.

All temps / fans working my my end.

mingw ? what does that mean ? Is this still for windows ?


Go back to the 1st post on this thread and click the download link for dropbox. 

The author updated the files with newer versions.

Download the mingw version of the miner and you will have an sgminer which shows temps and fan speeds accurately now.

I am running it on Windows 8.1 with CGWatcher and it works well.

I have two powercolor 280x's.  Here's my stable x11 config.  The lower gpu engine one is Elpida and the higher a Hynix card.


c:\sgminer.exe --kernel darkcoin --auto-fan -I 19,19 --thread-concurrency 11200,11200 -w 256,256 -g 1,1 --temp-target 70,70 --temp-overheat 80,80 --temp-cutoff 90,90 --gpu-powertune 20,20 --gpu-engine 1010,1090 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500

Hope it helps some....

Verified Higher hashrate on 3 pools I use regularly.

Best increase was on my 270x Rig: 1450 to 1990 hashrate . So 270x(5) rig went from roughly 7Mhash to 10Mhash.  Temps up just a few degrees, very negligible. Power up only 30 Watts on Kill-A-Watt to total 570 Watts on a 5 270x GPU Rig.  Love the x11 mining for the summer so far.

Tried newer upload and I do indeed get temps and fan speed back in SgMiner.
CGMiner seems to work well also.  Using Windows 8.1.


A couple of API errors every so often, but has been running nonstop overnight.

Seems legit so far, hope this helps someone.

Would you mind posting your 270x settings? I am getting 1850-1900 but 1990 is great. Thanks!!!




Sure Sandpaper!

I have MSI 270x Gaming 2gig'ers

--kernel darkcoin --auto-fan -I 19 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 21568 -w 256 -g 1 --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 80 --temp-cutoff 90 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-engine 1150 --gpu-memclock 1500


Hope it helps......
