So do I.

My  rig with Asrock h110 btc pro+ does get stuck and reboot when claymore try to apply mem strap to 3rd gpu.
However, rig with Asus BTC+ 19 pcie works fine with strap.



Hi guys i have a issue with my 13 gpus rig running claymore 14.7, when i  apply -strap to the 1st and 2nd card everything fine but when i tried to apply to the 3rd or any next windows crash bsod "system service exception" i tried everything i tested the gpus on another rig i have a asrock h110 btc pro, i tried new drivers new windows please help       

I had the same.issue..didn't solve it - went another route, but the documentation says that some straps at higher memory.clocks crash. Did you try low clocks on failing cards with each of the different straps? If not, try that and work your way up till crash.

Yes i tried stock memory clock i tried another gpu bios i tried stock bios i tried all the straps - strap 1 2 3 4 5 6 seem to be when the miner is identifying the card for example
I see the line
 POL8S1
 POL8S2
And crash
Seem to be a problem with the motherboard because i have another rigs with the same gpu but the motherboard is asus And works perfect i tried upgrading the motherboard bios And the same issue, however without the - strap works perfect

Testing 12* rx 580 xfx on asrock h110 btc pro+

Re: ASUS B250 Mining Expert MB - 19 Cards!

@asus @ASUSUSA Just got off Asus Support and they confirmed 13x is MAX on B250 Mining Expert until BIOS update in 4Q. Case ID#
N171017058"

Having the same issue. Can't get past 13 GPUs. ASUS support says that to get more than 13 we need to use mining cards. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks

I run my rig on Ubuntu 16.04.

I put 13 general purpose gpus (rx570 580, 1060 1070) on the board and it runs perfect.
However, if I put the 14th general purpose gpu, I got POST fail.

If I put 3 more mining gpus to 16 cards (13 general purpose gpus + 3 mining gpus), runs smoothly.

But I have no idea if Ubuntu supports more than 16 gpus.

1.Download latest linux 4.12.10 from kernel.org
2.Apply patches from here: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/project/amd-xorg-ddx/series/?ordering=-last_updated( more advanced way)
3.Compile kernel -> the ubuntu way.
4.Install kernel using dpkg
5. Download amdgpu-pro-17.30 latest, unarchive and edit amdgpu-pro-install, under the --compute function remove amdgpu-pro-dkms.
6. Exec ./amdgpu-pro-install --compute to install only opencl and libdrm
7. dpkg -x amdgpu-pro-dkms.... /out; cd out/usr/src/amdgpu-pro/lib/firmware && rm /lib/firmware/amdgpu/* && cp * /lib/firmware/amdgpu
8. add amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9 to /etc/default/grub as stated in previous posts.
8.1. add if you are using user to video group usermod -a -G video $user
9. update-grub && update-initramfs -u
10. Reboot and mine.

Is a real reason to build new kernel such as performance or stability issues?

Since I wasn't sure what patches to apply, I used a mix of both ways:
1. Installed not whole rocm package but only kernel image and headers 4.11 from rocm repository.
2. Installed compute-only 17.30 amd driver as recommended above (without dkms).
3. Added amdgpu module option.

Still there are issues with very slow boot (known issue if VBIOS was patched). But it runs.
Is 4.12 kernel somehow better?


Thanks laik2, I built linux from the git:linux-master and it works.

--
ROCm does not work for my rig with A + N on it.
Therefore, I did laik2 way to build a new kernel for my rig.
However, I found that linux-4.12.10 even linux-4.13.x from linux.org does not support vm_fragment.
There is no vm_fragment member in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vm.c.
And I don't know which patches to be applied from patchwork.freedesktop.org.
Finally, I google "linux amdgp vm_fragment_size", github.com/torvalds comes out.

What to do is just download linux from github.com/torvalds and buid and run laik2 steps.
And everything works perfect.


Thanks~


Which Linux have you downloaded from github.com/torvalds?
4.12?



It is 4.13.

Here is the solution:
The new ROCm Kernel works great, my hashrate went from 155 > 167Mhs/s with 6*RX470 with Ubuntu 16.4

#Install new ROCm Kernel:

wget -qO - http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rocm

#edit grub
sudo nano  /etc/default/grub
#2MB fragments for Ellesmere are enabled with a grub option:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9"

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

choose new Kernel and its done!

Thx to gstoner from ROCm Github.


Feel free to donate if you happy ;-)

There is 6 rx570 and 6 GTX1060 in my rig.
After applying ROCm kernel, if I pull out all the Nvidia cards, everything works perfectly.
If there is any Nvidia card plugged in my rig, rig is broken, hangs at miner or even cannot boot.

Any idea?

Thanks!

hello
i have a big problem with the last version and all over miners. works with 3 cards and when i want to put 4 gpu cards on my rig, it crashes...
all the same cards, Under win10 fresh installed, AMD driver 17.4.4, stock cards, psu 1200w seasonic prime on asrock H81 rev2

risers are ok because:
- gpu 1+2+3 => ok
- gpu 1+2+4 => ok
- gpu 1+2+3+4 => ko...

claymore start well and detect the 4 gpu's but crashed before to start mining, just after GPU detect.

please help me !!

- Make sure the card is not sharing power with another card
- Make sure each riser not sharing its power with another riser
- Run all cards on stock BIOS and stock seetings
- Uninstall MSI AB or similar software
- Run DDU in safe mode
- Reinstall AMD driver, the latest
- Run Claymore with minimal settings -cvdcc 1000 -mvdcc 1500

Share results and screenshots from GPU-Z

hello,
i did everything and its still the same problem... im running now Under 4 cards and it's crashing.
Under GPUZ i don't see any problem and all the cards are detected. no time to post screenshots for the moment.
any idea ?
i put under 2 cards, i've got another problem about drivers, perhaps it's my problem, with 2 cards, on pciexpress 1 and 2,
one cards is Under Crimson 17.7.2 / whql /win10 64 drivers (opencl ticked)
and the second one is only whql / win10 64 drivers (opencl not ticked)




Did you run DDU? be honest...

of course i did it !
i had to go to my job this morning, not enought time sorry.
here is the screenshot with one card, it seem that there an exclamation behind my card. Conflict between windows drivers and AMD driver ??
do i have to use DDU each time i add a card and re install crimson AMD drivers 17.7.2 ?
https://www.noelshack.com/2017-33-3-1502867786-capture.png

i tried to use simplemining and it does not work well at all... only 10mhs with 3 cards and gpu core often low at 300 instead of 1236, really strange.


You installed the wrong driver. It has to be CRIMSON BETA, not 17.7.2.
This is the latest AMD driver, optimised for mining
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-[Suspicious link removed]pute-Release-Notes.aspx



I have the same problem. I mean 3-cards problem.
I have 8 amd rx cards.
I run 3 claymore miners with 3 cards per miner as workaround. It works fine.

I still don't know the what the root cause is.

Hello Miners!

I hope one of you have been had similar problem, and the solutions for it.

Currently having 17.7.1
and the latest afterburner
modded 570 4gb gaming x
the latest windows 10 x64

16:24:46:860   2a64   ETH - Total Speed: 25.352 Mh/s, Total Shares: 1, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:02
16:24:46:866   2a64   ETH: GPU0 4.198 Mh/s, GPU1 4.230 Mh/s, GPU2 4.231 Mh/s, GPU3 4.231 Mh/s, GPU4 4.230 Mh/s, GPU5 4.232 Mh/s

Ive been tweaking a lot to fix this, but no help.

Start.bat file settings:  -esm 0 -mode 1 -tstop 75 -ethi 4 -cvddc 900 -mvddc 900 -dcri 4 -minspeed 145 -mport 3333

To get even close what needed: -gser 2 helps a bit, but then still one card runs with the 4 Mh/s after the reboot. So I have to restart the miner to get the right speed.

 


Check "DISABLE ULPS" in Afterburner setting and reboot may solve the problem.
