Hi guys, I'm using 5 GTX 1060 6GB (ZOTAC AMP!) with the following variables and 16GB of page files.

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

I'm mining with this server from january 2018 and until today I've no problem. During the claymore restart I noticed a strange error:

- CANNOT create dag file error 11 (something similar)

I tried to remove the updated driver and re-install the tested one: 372.54, but at the end I'm using -eres 0

Why is this necessary? I Read this:
-eres   this setting is related to Ethereum mining stability. Every next Ethereum epoch requires a bit more GPU memory, miner can crash during reallocating GPU buffer for new DAG.
   To avoid it, miner reserves a bit larger GPU buffer at startup, so it can process several epochs without buffer reallocation.
   This setting defines how many epochs miner must foresee when it reserves GPU buffer, i.e. how many epochs will be processed without buffer reallocation. Default value is 2.

So can I set to 1? or it's better 0?

Server spec:
- Windows 10 64Bit
- SSD 60GB
- 4GB RAM
- 5x GTX 1060 AMP Edition Zotac 6GB
- Claymore 10


As I said I've no problems until today. (What's -eres 0? Can someone explain this setting?)


EDIT:
This server is used in "Solo Mode" (Ethereum) with ethermine

Garantisco che non l'avevo mai visitato avranno però fatto targetting pubblicitario per le crypto. Anche perché mi leggo ogni whitepaper di ogni moneta quando capito sui loro siti (o li visito intenzionalmente).

Vedremo! (al massimo farò un piccolo investimento adesso)

stanno facendo un sacco di pubblicità, la trovo ovunque (siti e fb).


Parlando con il loro supporto dicono che attualmente non possono mantenere la promessa messa sul sito dello scambio crittovaluta=>flat in 2 secondi, ma che sarà possibile quando saranno a pieno regime. Vedremo


L'unica cosa strana, è che quando gli ho chiesto se rimborseranno gli utenti nel caso del mancato raggiungimento dell'hard cap non mi hanno risposto :O

Aspetto che mi rispondano a questa poi vorrei capire come funzionerà l'emissione della carta di credito ^^

finally something useful. So I can remove d=128 due to litecoin pool, and I can turn the wheel also if the usb stick is attached?

Thank you.

Error, I read and I turned the screw to increase that value. But it doesn't seems to change something. It seems that turing that wheel not changing the result (alsow because I'm taking attention to not go out of 180° as described).

by the way thank you for your reply

sorry I made a typo (because I can't copy/paste from my rig). I'm using -p 1,d=128

by the way at the moment I've 3.5Mh/s, but I've to remove the final part of the command "--set MLD:clock=954"

so I'm using: bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u test.1 -p 1,d=128 -S MLD:all


If I try to set the frequency (954) I got an error that say something "a problem occur, trying to restart the miner"


Is there a pool for the prohashing? I've to use always bfgminer? The command is similar but with different url?

I really don't understand how to achieve 5MH.

Using:
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u test.1 -p1,d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=954


I obtain a fail.

I'm on Windows 10 64bit.


Can you explain how to obtain Verge using this key?

thank you!

is the 10.2 really better instead of v. 10.0? (I've a lot of RIGs and I don't waste time)

at the moment I've 31.5MH/s for ETH and 3004 for DCR for each RX580.


thank you in advance

With litecoinpool.org is very unstable. With default settings it starts at 3.5MH and after a couple of hours I get 0.1-0.3 MH.

Can someone help me to configure it at maximum? With stable performance?

An other things I got this warning:
I saw a warning: failed to sanity check in lowl-vcom.c windows_usb_get_string():508


Edit:
OS: Windows 10 64Bit

I tried to configure as suggested using the litecoinpool.org london pool and --set MLD:clock=600 but I get this strange thing:

I saw a warning: failed to sanity check in lowl-vcom.c windows_usb_get_string():508

and only 2.5MH.

If I try to set: --set MLD:clock=954 the bfgminer I've 0MH/s.


Is it necessary to turn the hardware wheels to overclock it?


edit: I tried with 756, it starts @4.8MH but after a couple of minutes it slow down at 0.8-0.5MH

it seems a RDP problem, when I control the RIG through RDP, my cards temperatures switch from 50 to 75°+

Hi guys, can you suggest me a good alternative for AMD Blockchain drivers?

My RIG is performing well:
http://ethernaly.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/mining-ethernaly-31MHs.png

but after a random number of hours (typically 18-20) I got a black screen with LiveKernelEvent 141 (Hardware related to video cards - Drivers/Temp).

I tried to install an other version of the driver (and I've not other black screen issue) but I drastically decreased the total HS rate. (from 31.xxx to 24.xxx).

Do you know if there's a more stable version of blockchain driver, or a specific version that can help me?

---Edit----
Temps

PCI-e attached video card: 52°

Raiser attached video cards: 72-74°

I'll try to add a different kind of fan-systems to reduce temperature.

I'll try also nicehash thank you for this suggestion, I've to read a lot I'm a newbie here.




we've built this RIG due to test mining and it's possibility. We want to understand if it can be considered profitable or not. So we bought also a Ryzen to understand if we can increase our earnings also through CPU mining (Monero/Aeon/something else). At the moment we're trying aeon, seems good.



Edit.
I'm also trying to understand if SIA is the best choice instead of LBRY or Pascal, it seems not so profitable.

I changed the bios again, and made some configuration. Now I've 31MH/s for each card for Ethereum.

Sia => 3.000 total

1200MH/s Aeon with the Ryzen 7 1700x



Now I need to understand how to Withdraw mined coins from pool, or if it's automatic.

UPDATE

New rates:
Total Siacoin: 3550MH/s
Total Ethereum: 125/127 MH/s


I used the previously linked BIOS + ATI Patch, I've 25MH/s but I think I can improve this result (going to 29-30).


I hope someone can help me :3

Dear @All


finally I finished to build my RIG.

Final configuration

Software:
Windows 10 Pro
Claymore's Dual Miner 10
AMD BETA Blockchain driver
SIACoin UI (for wallet, it is in sync)

Hardware
5 x  Sapphire RX580 Nitro + 8GB  => 105 MH/s Ethereum (20MH/s each card) + 3000MH/s SIA Coin
Ryzen 7 1700x => Cryptonight-lite => 1200MH/s (AEON)


Configuration

Windows Paging : 16000MB

Windows Variables:

Claymore's dual miner bat:

http://i63.tinypic.com/330btya.gif


I read that with the RX580 Nitro+ I've to install special drivers, but I don't understand why and where I can find them (at the moment, as I said I'm using the blockchain drivers).


I'll be glad if someone can explain step by step what I have to do with these five cards ^^

thank you!


EDIT:

I found a video, this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiPCwJV_ryM

with this BIOS:
https://mega.nz/#!YqYzELbI!zeG0qWAkoMlz-vI9HlwH9uK41b_jEAYFP5ud7QIKE9w


but unfortunately I didn't find if I can use this bios with the blockchain driver instead of a specific one.

I want to order this mobo too:

is it compatible by default with 5 GPU?
Of course I also bought:

thank you in advance for your time

Hi, I'm going to setup a similar RIG, can I contact you through private messages about your RIG? (I'm going to mix 5xRX580 Nitro+ 8GB + Ryzen 1700x)

Dear @all, I reached this topic thanks to some answers here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2137516.new

So if I understand, I can mine ETH with my 5xRX580 Nitro+ (8GB) and other cryptos. Anyone with a similar configuration can give me more infos?

We're considering to enlarge our mining farm and this GPU RIG is our test case, and seems that Claymore's Dual Miner fits our needs.


Thank you in advance,

regards
