Wow! Okay, so I just realized what's wrong.

I received a Ryzen 5 1400 instead of a 1600...

I can't believe I didn't notice that only four cores were enabled on HWMonitor...

I apologize for wasting your time, gents!

Thanks for trying to help me out, I really appreciate it.

My page file is configured to be 16 Gb at the min, 24 Gb at the max. While running the miner, it hovers around 16 Gb.

Funnynuffy, I followed that exact guide in setting up the miner, and I've locked page files in memory, granting access to the default user (myself). Maybe I should try allowing this function for root? Is that a thing?

Here's the "interesting" part of my config file:

[
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
],

I've tried the following as well:

[
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 8 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
],

[
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 8 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
],

[
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 3 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 5 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 7 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 9 },
   { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 11 },
],

Yet these behave similarly, netting ~140 H/s.

On HWMonitor, I can't get the CPU to draw more than 30W, which oddly makes sense (240 H/s is more or less half of what I'm expecting, and others have posted CPU draws of ~60W).

I have one 8 GB stick of 2400 MHz RAM in there, and I'm running Win10.

Thanks again!

Hi all,

I was hoping one of you could help me troubleshoot my r5 1600, as you all seem to be getting 400 H/s stock. Meanwhile, here's how my CPU's been performing:

1 thread: 60 H/s (max values)
2 threads: 110 H/s
3 threads: 160 H/s
4 threads: 240 H/s
5 threads: 180 H/s
6 threads: 140 H/s
7 threads: 100 H/s

I can't understand why my chip's hashrate is peaking at 4 threads when you all are reporting optimal rates at 6 threads.

I've gone through all the necessary steps (locked paging file), and I'm really stuck here.

Claymore's miner yields similar results, although I have only tried with 3 and 4 threads.

The only thing I can think of is that stak's miner could have been updated since the pre-compiled version that I downloaded, although I doubt that's the cause for this behavior.

Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it!

Hello guys and @Claymore

I have a problem with my miners with blockchain aug23 driver, claymore 10 and my RX 580s.
Always when miner loses connection and claymore reconnect to pool, clocks stay at 300mhz or 600mhz. How can I fix this problem? Is there anyway to force to card work in the higher P state?

Much appriciated.

I've also had this problem when attempting to OC any kind of AMD card (480, 580, 570) with afterburner: they always get "stuck" at 300 MHz, but only when mining. For some reason afterburner works with my 1070, though.

cclock changes P states across the board in Wattman, but the card doesn't "listen."

First off, I wanted to thank you, Claymore! Keep up the great work!

One little (annoying) issue, though (v 10.0): when mining with a 1070 and a Vega 56, the miner will not detect the 1070. If I shut it down and unplug the Vega, the miner will see the 1070 and mine away without issue.

Very confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

System:
Win10
ASUS GTX 1070
Driver updated in August
Sapphire Vega 56
Blockchain driver, fresh install
16 GB RAM

Attempt at a fix:
Plugged the Vega into different PCI-e slots on the mobo (x1 and x16, both above and below the 1070), no change.

Right—I'll hold off on running them all at once until I can get some current readings.

Thanks for the fast replies, lads!

Possibility of Tripping Breaker

Hey everyone,

A quick question from a hobby miner: I was just wondering if two underclocked SP20s on platinum 1200W PSUs (pulling 1208 W TOTAL as read from their ASIC stats pages) + an underclocked A2 Terminator (Scrypt miner, probably pulling 700 W at most) would possibly trip a 20 A breaker (2400 W overhead). I know, the first thing I should do is buy a physical watt meter, and it's currently on its way in the mail.

I was just hoping someone out there could help me double check my math and let me know if there are any variables I'm not taking into account. (I know that, in keeping with the miners' PSUs efficiency ratings, the power actually drawn can be expected to exceed that reported in software by 5-10%.)

It looks like, at most, I'd be pulling 2100 W out of the "available" 2400 W, but I'd really appreciate any and all feedback!

Thanks!
