Continuous buzzing from computer while running miner... #32

Closed ryanniehaus closed 4 years ago

ryanniehaus commented 4 years ago

I get a strange buzzing sound when running this. I'm not sure if it's an internal speaker on the PC or a fan, but it sounds like it may actually be data being played through a speaker. (Like trying to play a data CD on a normal CD player)

Command I'm using: kawpowminer -U -P stratum+tcp://RRiP8RffTx8swacrPfavcm22hCYrTRNEeg@rvn-eu1.nanopool.org:12222

Command Output:

There's more output, I only copy-pasted where the buzzing starts... As soon as I stop the program, the buzzing stops. Mining seems to be working, I've gotten some shares. I just can't do it because the buzzing is too annoying. I've run my machine through benchmarking and played some pretty advanced games on it with max settings, never had this issue with anything else.

I know it's probably an unusual issue no one's reported before, but it'd be great if you could give some insight.

I did a little more research, looked into BIOS settings. I'm wondering if this is some sort of temperature alarm. Is there a way to limit temperature like I've seen on other miners for other algorithms?

you use a 2080 super and a 750 ti at once, and the Cuda error is because the 750 ti just has 2GB RAM, that is not enough to mine ravencoin. so the error comes from that. Means this grafic card is much to low to run aside the 2080 RTX, and the ravenminer dont even scratch the surface of that what the 2080 is capable of, you dont need the 750, run your machine without it and see if its working then You can try by using --cu-devices 0 and run just the RTX no matter what, you wont be able to abuse the 2080 with any mining algo, this card does them all at ease, but you drag that slow and old 750 with you thats attaching a bicycle to a Ferrari and run full speed.

I ran the as you said and it still happened.

lol... so the sound was actually coming from my UPS. I was at max power load. Looks like the miner is the most intensive thing I've actually run on my new computer. I'll have to upgrade my UPS before I do any serious mining. Nice app!
