Re: PhoenixMiner 5.8c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
by

The  new  version  is  finally  ready.  You  can  download  PhoenixMiner  5.8c  from  here:

PhoenixMiner_5.8c_Windows.zip Github
PhoenixMiner_5.8c_Linux.tar.gz Github


Changes in version 5.8c :
  • Full LHR disable mode -lhrdis <n>  1 - yes (default), 0 - no
  • Added lock core clock
  • Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RTX 3060/3080/3090 cards
  • Implemented new "turbo" kernels (-clkernel 3) for AMD Polaris cards that can work with the current DAG sizes over 4 GB. Note that -clkernel 3 uses double the VRAM and will
    provide slightly faster hashrate with slightly higher power consumption. You can use the -rvram command-line parameter to specify how much VRAM to be left unused
  • Increased the maximum supported DAG epoch to 600 (i.e. until about Sep 2023)
  • Implemented full hardware control for AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux. Note that with these cards under Linux you need to specify relative core voltage: e.g. -
    cclock -50 will set the core voltage to be 50 mV under the default value
  • Added ROCr kernels for Vega, Radeon VII and Navi cards. With these kernels you will be able to run these cards with Linux drivers 20.45 and later but the performance will
    be lower than with the older PAL drivers and kernels. We recommend using AMD Linux driver 20.30 for all cards except RX6900/6800/6700
  • Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux (there is no need to run these cards with -clkernel 0 anymore)
  • Added support for AMD Windows drivers up to 21.8.1. Note that Radeon VII cards will not work with drivers 21.6.1 or higher - you need to use older drivers for proper
    operation of these cards
  • Added support for AMD Linux drivers up to 21.20 (use older drivers for Vega or Radeon VII cards as they will not work with 21.20). Note that the latest 21.30 drivers are
    not supported (and the initial testing shows that even the older Polars cards are not working properly with them, so avoid 21.30 for now)
  • Numerous other fixes and small improvements

Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.8c

Phoenix 5.2e and ETC mining on big navi's is very stable. Cheesy

Thank you for the time and efforts.

what's the hashrate situation?

Any ongoing updates for RX 6800/6800 XT?
The miner works but only detect half of available CU (36 instead of 72)

I need BTC to go to US$ 75000 in 15 years.
Will it go that high ?

There was never such slow adoption of new graphic card by mining devs, I think

Navi family is intentionally crippled by drivers, I suppose

If priced at 150 bucks, requiring 55 w for 30 Mh/s, with the current bitcoin price, the break even point would be 2 years. Much better than Navi 10's 3 years.
Hoping that BTC/USD will go to 15000 again soon Tongue

What's the guess on eth performance on the new rx 5500? My guess is similar to the 5700/XT.

The last time financial crisis occur, oil and commodity prices shoot up to the moon buoyed by the feds bailout money.
Now another financial crisis is coming, oil and commodity prices are kinda rising..
I believe bitcoin will be the next target for financial speculators to hedge the next financial crisis looming.

So basically we RX 5700XT users are stuck with ETHASH by Claymore now.
Using PhoenixMiner, somehow one of my two RX 5700 will crap out after sometimes and the one that is still mining will still be showing fully loaded after mining is stopped.

I have three XFX 5700XT cards and mining with PhoenixMiner 4.6c
No problems here. Hashing at ~52 MH/s each.

-tt 58 -cvddc 750 -cclock 1300 -fanmin 0 -mclock 900 -amd -mode 1 -clKernel 1 -clNew 1

good for you. Maybe because I force copy PhoenixMiner 4.6c latest exe into nicehash miner plugin folder, it's not stable.

Anyone mining with RX 5700,
has any of you experiencing strange phenomena where only the one of the GPU is actually mining/or having its memory loaded with mining job?

Try phoenix miner with the following settings: : -ethi 8 -tt 54  -cclock 1300 -cvddc 750 -mclock 910 -hstats 2
I make 52.65MH/s with 93 watts powerdraw and gpu hbm temperature 70 degree C. You can try with higher -tt to decrease the fan speed. 54 works for sure and is too safe.

what phoenix miner version?

Theoritically, you can put Four Reference cards Navi in MSI X570 Godlike. My current tower cooler blocks the first GPU slot. Waiting on 3950X before actually putting the bonus MasterLiquid AIO from MSI X570's promotions.

Anyway, I tried with three GPUS (one custom AIO cooled, two reference coolers) and it works just fine. Their temps are not catastrophic either; With fan speeds less than 50% (therefore noise is tame), the GPU temps are around 65-75 oC, with memory junction temp around 90 oC.

https://youtu.be/IDsYGdhxayA

After 3950X is here, I will get one of that and another reference card 5700 and my goal of having four GPUs in one motherboard will be achieved.

For now the RX 5700 yiels around 48-49 Mh/S each with maximum GPU temps around 70 oC with memory temps around 90 oC, with fans running below 40 %.
This RX 5700 reference design is just great for me.

So, anyone with RX 5700XT mining ETH, can you give info on your memory temperatures? Does it exceed 95 oC?


I've noticed my HBM temps are running really high: 90-96C
I have 2 Sapphire Pulse 5700, one XT, one non-XT

GPU temp is usually around 60-64C and hotspot temp never gets over 70-71C

Using this in cmd line:
Code:
-cclock 1300 -cvddc 800 -mclock 900

Thanks for the info.
Looks like Sapphire Pulse cooler is unable to cool down the memory chips under mining load, and the reference cooler does better job at it. Are you using custom fan speeds or left it on auto?
Also does The XT and non-XT performs the same regarding mining?

Not even close - the hottest VRM temp is 62 C for me. Memory is at stock settings currently, waiting for a miner update before I try tweaking that aspect again.

  Fan speed set at 60%, GPU Temp is 59 C (undervolted, ~107 watts power draw).

Not the VRM. In the Afterburner it's the Memory Temp. in HWINFO is the HBM temperature.
