Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
{The new beta version is finally ready. You can download PhoenixMiner 5.6d from here:
PhoenixMiner_5.6d_Windows.zip (GitHub)
PhoenixMiner_5.6d_Linux.tar.gz (GitHub)
The new features in this release are:
The support for -ttj, -ttmem, -tmaxj, and -tmaxmem for Nvidia 3090 and 3080 GPUs is not yet ready for release. We hope to have it ready for the final 5.6 release.
For more robust integrity check, you can use our GPG public key, which was verifyed with ETH transaction from our main devfee account as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56755869#msg56755869.
Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.6d.}
PhoenixMiner_5.6d_Windows.zip (GitHub)
PhoenixMiner_5.6d_Linux.tar.gz (GitHub)
The new features in this release are:
- The problem with the missing GPU temperatures on Nvidia GPUs is fixed
- Added native kernels for AMD RX6700 GPUs. These are faster than the generic kernels and produce a lot less stale shares
- Increase the max supported DAG epoch to 550 (should be enough to about Jan 2023)
- Full support for setting clocks, fan speeds, voltages, and memory timings of AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards
- The specific hashrate is now shown in the form of kilo hashes per joule (kH/J). Example: if a GPU has hashrate of 30 MH/s with 100W power usage, the specific hashrate is 300 kH/J
- Added new command-line parameters -ttj and -ttmem, allowing automatic fan speed control based on GPU hotspot (junction), and memory temperatures respectively. Example: -ttmem 83 will keep the GPU memory temperature at or bellow 83C by increasing the fan speed as necessary. These parameters can be combined with -tt, as well as with each other. These options are supported only on AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
- Added new command-line parameters -tmaxj and -tmaxmem, allowing to decrease the GPU usage when the GPU hotspot (junction), or GPU memory temperatures are above the specified thresholds. These options are supported only on AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
- Added support for AMD Windows drivers 21.3.2, and 21.3.1
- Added support for AMD Linux drivers 20.50.x. Use this drivers only if you have Polaris or older GPUs, or the latest RX6x000 GPUs. WARNING: Vega, Radeon VII, and Navi GPUs won't work with these drivers!
- Turn off the zero fan feature on AMD cards whenever a fixed fan speed is used (e.g. -tt -40), or when an auto fan with min fan speed is used (e.g. -tt 63 -minfan 35). To disable this feature, add -fanstop 1 command-line parameter
- When -mcdag 1 is specified under Linux, the miner will not wait for the daggen.sh script to finish before starting to generate the DAGs. Instead it will for a fixed 7 seconds. This allows you to do all the following in the daggen.sh: turn off the overclocking of Nvidia GPUs, sleep for 30-60 seconds to allow time for DAG generation, and then re-apply the overclocking of the Nvidia GPUs
- Other small improvements and fixes
The support for -ttj, -ttmem, -tmaxj, and -tmaxmem for Nvidia 3090 and 3080 GPUs is not yet ready for release. We hope to have it ready for the final 5.6 release.

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v14.7 (Windows/Linux)
What could be the reason for this message?
"opencl error -4 cannot write buffer DAG" after that miner freezes and I have to restart the rig.
I have virtual memory set to 20+ gigs on 8 GPU rig

use virtual file 8gpu x gpu ram size, for example 8x 4 = 32gb if u have 4gb cards. if you have 8gb, then 64gb cards and u are safe for future dag size+ some miners are option to use double size.
I had around 32 gigs actually, and now increased it to 38gigs. I no longer get the error message, however the miner crashes after a minute of mining, and nothing is written in the log file. I am mining with the default clock values and 14.7 miner

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v14.5 (Windows/Linux)
Guys, I've been away from the "hobby" for a while, since I had my rigs running fine, but some problems are popping up, and I was wondering what is the best driver and afterburner for rx480 and rx470 nitro+ mining edition?
Since jaschaknack's Github profile has been deactivated
https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor
I am unable to access his GitHub page, and download PBE. Thus, I am hoping that some has version 1.6.2 or 1.6.7 downloaded and is willing to share it with the community.
Thanks!

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.8 (Windows/Linux)
The AMD blockchain driver was a patch released to fix the Ethash Dag file growth issue that caused Polaris cards to lose hash rate with every new epoch once the Dag file reached over 2GB. Starting with the Crimson Relive compute drivers that were released for Windows 10 v1703, AMD incorporated the fix from the blockchain driver in to the mainstream release drivers when the cards are set to compute mode.
The correct driver to use for Windows 10 v1703 Fall Creator update and newer versions is the latest AMD Adrenaline driver and set the cards to compute mode.

Thanks so much! One of the most informative answers I've ever received on the web The correct driver to use for Windows 10 v1703 Fall Creator update and newer versions is the latest AMD Adrenaline driver and set the cards to compute mode.

One more questions, what build for win10 would you recommend?
Re: [GUIDE][TUTORIAL][XMR,ETH,ETN]How To Mod Bios RX470/570/480/580 VEGA Mining 💰
I've just build my second rig using 8x RX 470 (Samsung) and stock hashrate was like 21Mhs. After using the paid polaris 2.2 (thank you Mattthev) the hashrate increase slightly like 1-2Mhs. Then I adjust clocks (Core 1050 / Mem 1900) and I am getting 27.1Mhs.
If i try to adjust the memory higher like 1950+ the system will crash and restart miner many times, it's not stable. If i adjust mem to like 2000+ I get invalid shares.
Are you still achieving 30+ Mhs on the RX 470 (Samsung) cards?
I downloaded original bios, loaded into the paid Polaris Bios Editor 2.2, patched for power saving OC and applied... saved and loaded the mod bios.
Did I miss something?
Is it mining card? Samsung type ending FE or FC? Write me to my e-mail. You need the other Uber-mix not the 3.1.1. Also don't forget use the latest Adrenaline drivers and switch to compute workload.If i try to adjust the memory higher like 1950+ the system will crash and restart miner many times, it's not stable.

Are the adrenaline drivers the best ones atm? I am running the blockchain ones. Should I switch?
Also, what i compute workload?
Thanks!
Re: application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware
Try the following:
-Right click and run the application through "run as administrator" option.
-Disable the Windows Defender for some time and see if the miner works when it's disabled.
EDIT: it seems like it's a common issue if you Google it (and it's not just with the miner), you may find possible solutions here as well:

I think you should first try what I suggested (as most probably, running as an administrator should work out fine), if that doesn't work, then look at the solutions provided by Microsoft support.

Running it as admin, made the minier crash for some reason, and yeah I checked the same link before...
Anyways, I was tired of searching for the solution, so reinstalled windows, and all seems fine at the moment. Hopefully, I found a way to disable windows updates too
Re: application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware
Have you overclocked the cards? Even if you did not oc them, check your psu cables for damage (melted). Run the cards in default settings, you may also try down clocking them.
The card were running at the default settings, its this stupid windows that doesnt work. And yes, I fount out that someone had a problem with melted sata cables. Fortunately, not the case with me. I am reinstalling windows at the moment, and will see
I am having trouble running Claymore 11.7 on my windows 10 computer after the latest update. Firstly, although I have done everything I can to prevents windows from updating, it is still not enough, so if anyone has found a solution, please let me know.
The solution is to dump windows and go with a real mining OS.
I recommend PiMP - getpimp.org
It is the most versatile linux mining OS I have found and has a great support staff available most of the day on IRC/discord for any and all issues.
My pimp rigs have 100 day uptimes without even having to check on them.
Dont know if you are just advertising or not. Anyways, yes, I plan to switch to SMOS or some other alternative in the near future.

Next, I tried removing the driver with DDU and removing the AMD folder, but it still wont mine. The rig and all the settings are fine, since it was mining fine yesterday.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do, to remove that restriction.
Thanks!

Thumbs up to poisonxa for the built and the awesome "customer support" 
. Much more customization OS than the original nvOC. All the issues I had with nvOC are gone with this built.

Warning: persistence mode is disabled on this device. This settings will go back to default as soon as driver unloads (e.g. last application like nvidia-smi or cuda application terminates). Run with [--help | -h] switch to get more information on how to enable persistence mode.
I am getting this message and cannot start mining. v0019. Should I enable persistence mode, or what?
