Newbee with a mining rig build can't get working!

[dustint]

what version of cgminer are you running?  is your computer updated with .NET Framework 4.0? I will try to think of anything else         Happy New Year
to check if you have .NET Framework 4  go to control panel then programs and see if it is there

[TsonicTsunami]

I running cgminer 3.7.2 and I have Microsoft .NET framework 4.5

[dustint]

i am a little stumped maybe someone else will have some ideas my rigs are both running on cgminer 3.1.1 maybe that version could help

[dustint]

maybe these drivers will help
VERY IMPORTANT!! Many people skip this 3rd step, and they end up having extremely bad results... So, here we go, with bold letters.
Download AMD Catalyst 13.1 Software Suite Vista/7 64-bit AMD AND AMD APP SDK v2.8
Link for AMD Catalyst 13.1 is here---> http://www.guru3d.co...download,1.html and for AMD APP SDK v2.8 is here-->http://developer.amd...-Windows-64.exe.
If for any reason the links go offlline, just google them and grab them from there. Install first the AMD Catalyst drivers, reboot, install the AMD SDK 2.8, reboot again. You are set

 maybe something here will help

Thanks dustint,

I downloaded the Catalyst Version 13.12 . I going to download the AMD APP SKD program and reboot.
Thanks again for your input.

13.12 should have everything you need all in one nice package as that is all I used.  I'll try to help more later when not mobile if you are open to it I can offer remote assistance via teamviewer or we can just continue back and forth on the forums.

Greetings IrishTR,
 I don't know what teamviewer is But it's a new year and I'll try anything. At a suggestion i downloaded cgminer v.3.1.1 put in this "-w 256 -g 2 -i 13 --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192" and the same results.




17.60 KH/s.... This is driving me up a wall. I am open for any help you or anyone else would be so kind to offer.

Device manager sees all the cards ( 4 AMD Radeon 7970) I built this with no experience building so if there is something I didn't download that I need I wouldn't know it ( I don't know what I don't know if you get my meaning)

[dustint]

on your screenshot your intensity is on 8 try to manually change it in cgminer to 12 or 13    my cards run at 34khs on i-8 and on i-13 they run at 735khs.  Your rpm readings seem out there also mine run between 2000-4000 rpm.  In the bat file i posted the intensity is set for i-13 make sure you open cgminer from the bat file located in your cgminer folder

edit   to change settings directly in cg miner while it is running click anywhere on the black screen the press g for gpu management then press i for intensity then pick which gpu to adjust 0-3 then pick new intensity setting then enter that should override anything else and speed up your card

[TsonicTsunami]

Thanks man.... I'll give it a shot

[TsonicTsunami]

Does the intensity read 13 here because this is what is in the bat file. but I see it's 8 when the bat is running. Am I missing something? ( I'm sure I am) 

[dustint]

looks like you have a lot of extra stuff in there just use this exactly


setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://your pool:port -u user name created in pool -p password created in pool --auto-fan --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2


open your cgminer folder and make sure that your .bat file is saved in the same folder where cgminer.exe is

I had this happen to me when I first tried to mine. I believe this is what I did to fix it:

1. Ensure your drivers are up to date for every single card. I would only plug 1 card and install the catalyst.  Then hook up the other ones one by one. It will update the driver.

2. Definitely make sure to put those setx parameters in.

Please try adding this parameter:
  --gpu-threads 2

This made a huge difference for my 280x cards, and they are similar in architecture to yours.

For what it is worth, here are my settings (this is part of a Linux shell script so not directly usable, but you can still glean the config):

$miner --scrypt -o ${proto}://${pool} -u $worker -p $pass \
  --temp-target 75 --auto-gpu --auto-fan --gpu-fan 0-100 \
  --intensity 13 --worksize 256 \
  --gpu-threads 2 \
  --thread-concurrency 8192 \
  --gpu-memclock 1484 \
