Can anyone offer any advice on why the powlim might not be working on my RX 480 8GBs?

I'm using the following settings:

-amd -acm -powlim -20,-20 -mclock 2100,2100 -rxboost 75,75 -gt 54,54 -gpus 1,2

AMD driver version 20.12.1

Occasionally im getting crashes and the memclock gets stuck on 300 so i have to manually set it back in the radeon software too?

using the settings above i get around 28mh/s for 60w perr card (XFX RX 480 BE 8GB cards)

just pulled a couple of S3s out of the garage to test them lol - what sort of share size should i be looing at getting to solve a block... its been a while since i mined anything - had a few S1s running pencil mods a few years back on here!

You need a share that is higher than the current difficulty. So the current diff is 19.28 trillion so you need a share that is that or higher for a solve
Check out solochance.com and put in your current speed for an estimate of how long it may take to solve a block.

thanks for the info!

I was quite excited when i saw this but now not so much lol

In case anyone wants to see how tight a fit two S3's in the smaller Corsair Carbide Air 240 case.

Love the flat black look of the case.

I'm guessing you'd need to flip the S3s over to hide the cables Wink

amy recommendations on a case that can fit 3 plus a PSU off the shelf?

I bought a miner from these guys in Nov of 2013, a year later this is what they JUST sent me.  They are still collecting peoples money at this site http://amtminers.com/ We all have made complaints to the FTC, FBI and any other agency that would listen. They also send me this miner with "NO POWER SUPPLY", it was supposed to be an AMT miner, but what they send me was a "no name" knockoff. Believer it or not, many of us paid them $6,000 for this, and at the time of delivery they were selling them $899.  It is a VERY VERY high probability these guys are going away to jail for a VERY VERY long time. The miner also says it hashes at 1.28 Th/s in the mining interface, but the reality is its hashing at 900Gh/s on BTC Guild.

You were clearly see these were used and very dirty fans that squeak as well. They are three COMPLETELY different fans.  I would go as far to say, these fans are so dirty they must have been used in something other than a computer. The miner was also filthy with black soot all over it (as you can see), It's pretty scary.  The green fan you see in this photo, it just BARELY spins, its almost dead. Useless... The green fan is so slow because the "RPM Sense" white wire has been cut and that is why it doesn't work properly.... I guess I really got the naughty list special miner...


3 different brand fans, very dirty and used looking. The green one hardly pushes air because of the wire that was cut.

White wire cut right in the middle of the run. wires cut and then put heat shrink on them. Beyond a hack job...

[]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/network650/20141001_205917_zps2439d41f.jpg[/]


mis-matched connectors, showing 3 pin and 4 pin. Different wiring, but were all in the same type of 4 pin socket. Surely not wired correctly. This is a hack job.


[]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/network650/20141001_205940_zpsf4070d1c.jpg[/]

what the web interface says its hashing at (temps always this high on everyone' miner) also miner ALWAYS says 1.27 or 1.28, no matter what. Also the 256G on each card also doesn't move. It's obviously a fraud.

[]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h92/network650/aaa_zps530d7d45.png[/]

the reality of what it hashes at: (often drops to 900Gh/s)

Seems like they've run the miner for as long as possible to get their money out of it before shipping - seems to be a common complaint with some of the companies who manufacture mining kit. Looks like a friday afternoon job to me.

have you tried fitting 3 reasonably high CFM fans in replacement of those dodgy 3? I wonder if theyre not moving enough air and the miners are being downclocked due to heat - also have you tried blowing through the system with an air compressor to shift any build up of dust?

Neptune card in Novec 7100.  This was just a quick test.  Hopefully I will have more numbers tomorrow.

http://i.imgur.com/b2eshIE.jpg

Would this work with other chips? ie: chili miners? I assume that the novec 7100 doesnt evaporatate?

Would you be so kind as to post a link to the large fans? TIA.

They're InWin 220mm case fans - i can't find a link online but these came out of InWin Track and Griffin cases

For the number of devices that is probably the worst cable hell I have seen.  You need some twist ties bad Tongue

Yeah i know Wink doesnt help that two of the PSUs are non modular Sad as its still a work in progress i couldnt fix the cables in postion - still have some more kit to add...

Al fun and games until one of those cables gets snagged in a fan, yanks the whole setup to the floor, and they all get destroyed.

wow - quite the optimist Wink the two big fans are low rpm - you can stick your hand in the blades and it wont hurt Wink (done it a few times Tongue) plus all the cables near the fans are pulled away and cable tied up... it used to look like this:

Heres My current setup on a 4 shelf metal shelving unit that i bought.
1st Shelf is Speaker stuff
2nd Shelf is the ASIC mining shelf
3rd Shelf - Soon to be Litcoin mining shelf.

Have been waiting almost a week and a half for (42) more USB erupters to arive..

my "8-stick-plan" is to use 2x LogiLink UA0124 (http://www.logilink.eu/showproduct/UA0124.htm?seticlanguage=en) with 2x4 USB Miners.
i will return the DLink Hub to Amazon

we will see if i buy more sticks in the future ... don't know  Huh

you *may* need to swap to a different OS if you plan on using a lot of miners with XP - my NB200 (XP SP3) has issues with anything over 15 miners - something to do with the way XP handles device IDs or something Smiley

idk what you are talking about... i got 51 on one machine and 70+ on another machine that is both windows...

is that windows XP though? i have all mine running on 7 with no issues. Smiley
