Highest hashrate for AMD Threadripper 2950X

[xq0404]

I have recently upgraded my desktop PC to AMD Threadripper 2950X. The highest hashrate I can achieve for this CPU is 1399.7 H/s with XMR-Stak 2.7.1 under a 64-bit Windows 10 environment without overclocking, which is on par with the performance of AMD's pervious generation Threadripper 1950X. But 2950X is theoretically as least 10% more efficient than 1950X.

My AMD's RX 480 graphics card used to achieve a hashrate of 750 H/s without overclocking before upgrading my PC, but now is at around 690 H/s.

I have tweaked the cpu.txt file but to no avail. At last, I only changed asm to amd_avx in order to support AMD cpus with avx instructions.

Kudos to developers! Hopefully, in the next version, you guys can optimize XMR-Stak for AMD Ryzen Threadripper series.

Hi, My tr4 1950x does about 1100-1300H/s. I think your cpu has good results. 😀

I see, unless you overclock it. By the way, can I install a second grahpics card like AMD Vega 56? Can I crossfire a vega 56 with an RX 480 to run xmr-stak? Both cards are compatible with the Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition Beta for Blockchain Compute driver. https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-blockchain-beta

But I heard from a forum that If it works, and that's a big "if", the VEGA card would not run any faster than the RX480 as a consequence of Crossfire and if Crossfire would work, the faster card would have to match the clockspeed of the slower card. However, anyway if you just disable crossfire then the gpus will work independently. However, they say that if you want to run something off the second GPU then you need to connect a monitor to it or enable crossfire. Otherwise all the second GPU is doing is sucking up power sitting in idle.

In addition, it is reported that RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56 will support CrossFire, technically speaking, but AMD noted that the industry is largely moving away from multi-GPU configurations.

The sensible solution seems to be overclocking my RX 480 and let it retire as soon as possible. Time is money. A miner's monero reward will be gradually decreasing ( over 10 times difference as compared to the current level of about 3.44 XMR/min) until May 31, 2022 when the tail emission kicks in with a fixied rate of 0.3 XMR/min = 0.6 XMR/2min, forever.

I don‘t think that it makes any further sense when you overclock your threadripper. Mine i can‘t overclock so much and when i do it consumes too much more power for just about 300 more MHz. It is then inefficient.

I‘m myself not so experienced with mining and just new with monero mining and I‘ve bought me 2 watercooled vega 64 and I have problems setting them up and cant get about 2000H/s. Im actually trying different settings but sometimes its a little bit better and now im just really happy that i dont get no more gpu invalid results. Im actually myself searching for a way, thats why i signed up here, to enhance my hashrates 😀

You are right. I dare not overclock Threadripper CPU. I have played with overclocking RX 480, but any slight manual tweaking of frequency under AMD's WattMan tool would crash my PC. Automatic overclocking worked, but only brought about an around 5 H/s hashrate increase consistently and Wattman would also tend to force me to revert to a factory default setting after XMR-Stak closed. In fact, even without overclocking, the AMD's RX 480 can occasionally achive a much higher hashrate, as the following screenshot shows. I guess the AMD blockchain driver and XMR-stak have already done a good job of extracting most juices out of an AMD GPU.

[sinans2]

Your result is not at all bad i think. Ive read in other threads and forums that your amd gpu is actually not maxed but it performs good. But its not far away from max. With my setup for example i just reach for both of the vega 64 gpus about 2500-2700H/s. Thats quite a big difference from the about expected 4000H/s 😭

Well, I rarely achieved that kind of highest hashrates under normal circumstances. What's more important seems to be controlling the fan speed. My RX 480 has been unbearably noisy. I have manually set the maximum temperature to 79 degrees Celsius and acoustic limit to as low as 910 MHz. I also set Power Limit to -6 (...slide it to the left) to let the card save energy and reduce heat. The system crashed overnight (It turned out that I accidentally set a wrong time for computer power sleeop). No unbearable noise is produced so long as the fan speed is not too high. The GPU workload should be set at "Compute" instead of "Graphics" in Global Graphics If you do not use the AMD bloackchain driver optimized for mining. The latest adrenalin driver with a different menu layout seems to be more sophisticated than the universal blockchain driver.

[sinans2]

Oh yeah i know what you mean, when someone is beside a starting jet it is not so nice. Im happy that im cooling my system with a Custom loop watercooling system. It was at first really expensive but now Ive good temperatures together with a relative silent system. And the best is in cold temperatures like in these cold days i dont need to heat my living room so much. 😀

I saw in the pictures that youre using the wattman tool. In the www between the whole forums and crypto enthusiasts everybody uses the overdriventool. Why you dont use that too? Everybody recommends that. Ive read that the wattman program from amd isnt working so well especially in case of mining.

Well, I rarely achieved that kind of highest hashrates under normal circumstances. What's more important seems to be controlling the fan speed. My RX 480 has been unbearably noisy. I have manually set the target temperature to 84 degrees Celsius and acoustic limit to 1000 MHz. The default target temperature of 74 makes no sense while only producing loud noise because the running of xmr-stak will raise the temperature to around 80 anyway and remain at that heat level no matter how fast the fan rotates.

I'm not tech-savvy enough. That being said, I did try overclocking to improve performance or underclocking the frequency to reduce heat, but it either crashed the whole Win 7 system or crashed the xmr-stark/WattMan programs without obvious benefits. You are now the proud owner of 2 watercooled vega 64 gpus, which are just like two super sports cars. Such a state-of-the-art Monero mining PC composed of the industry's best miners should easily achieve 4000H/s. But AMD's Crossfire may not be a solution as it is designed for games that support it. I guess xmr-stak should support a multi-GPU mining rig inherently, I suggest, instead of treating it as a PC with two graphics cards, you configure it as a standard Monero mining rig. Also I hear Vega's HBCC should be enabled through Wattman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSzQZ99oqG0

This is the second time I have bought a used RX 480. The previous one lasted for about 10 months mining mostly 24/7 before it suddnely died. I don't think the current second-hand RX 480 will endure such a rigorous temperature of 83 degress Celsius for too long. By the way, I have also used RX 480 for Ethereum mining, which sometimes ramped up the temperature to over 90 degrees. The next time I upgrade my GPU, I would consider a more energy efficient Vega 56 or a new 7nm AMD gpu rather than Vega 64.

I am also mining on a 2950x which is not overclocked and reaching speeds of 2400 h/s my system is slightly laggy though while mining at this speed. Task manager shows the CPU running at around 60%

Please check attached image. Is there anything I am doing wrong here? because I would like to use the system while mining in the background, but it seems my system is just going all out crazy, high hashrate but makes the system a bit slow. Wouldn't mind being able to mine in the background and play a game or something.

Wow, your 2950x result is the highest I have seen so far, which is really wonderful. As for the system slowdown, it has to do with Nvidia. You just need to try and change the "bfactor" in the "nvidia.txt" from 8 to 16. By the way, how does your "cpu.txt" read?

[sinans2]

@xq0404mailto:notifications@github.com yeah me two i need technical advice too and dont know how to configure these mining rig. I expect with my rig about 5200H/s but get just about 3500-4000. ive trief different drivers and different configurations and im now very confused at the moment. :S

@digitalfield Yeah that looks really good!!!! I didnt expect that a zen+ 16core can reach so high hashrates. For your perfomance issue in windows i would recommend you to open the task manager and in the xmr-stack details you can change the priorities. Give it a try and change the xmr stak app priority to low. Ive heard then system runs better when youre for example surfing with your system. I didnt test my self but will now also change it 😀

I suggest you modify bfactor from 6 to12 to16 to find a sweet balance between hashrate performance and system slowdown. That's a bug with Nvidia cards.

Thank you for the cpu.txt, which is exactly the same as mine. It looks you either have a powerful motherboard or AMD's own GPU driver optimized for mining is conflicting with my 2950x.

Mine is GIGABYTE X399 AORUS PRO. The two motherboards seem to be at the same level. In fact, X399 AORUS PRO is a liitle more expensive. I used to have a bad experience with MSI motherboard, but this time they seemed to have done a fantastic job of supporting Threadripper.

Also I have deleted Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23 driver, which caused PC crash overnight twice after I left it mining away with fan speed reduced for a quieter performance.

My experience with xmr-stak seems to indicate that tweaking nvidia.txt or amd.txt would affect CPU performance significantly. CPU's cores would often crank out wildly inconsistent hashrates. The latest version upgrade seems to have helped increase CPU's hashrate

[xq0404]

By installing the lastest AMD driver Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.2, I can keep the power limt to -40% (from blockchain driver's -6%), and reduce fan spped to around 2039 RPM from 2250 RPM without affecting mining efficiency. That means a reduction in noise level. Isn't it wonderful?

I forgot to ask you how many physical RAM your PC has for 2950x to achieve 2400 h/s. I recently learned from Zcoin's MTP algorithm that needs a fixed 4 GB per thread so with an 8-core processor, you would need 32 GB of RAM (and a little spare for your OS to run) to mine on all cores. I wonder if having more than 64 GB of RAM for 16-core 2950x will be of any benefit to substantially increasing hashrate.

[digitalfield]

I had 16GB when I was reaching those speeds I now have 32GB and its the same hashrate. Also I should tell you I am mining Masari coin reaching those speeds. I don't normally reach those speeds if mining Monero for instance. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for this precious information that will prevent me from blindly upgrading physical RAM. I have tried mining Zcoin and it's painfully slow for CPU mining and GPU mining simply crashed. Zcoin mining is a joke.

What hashrate is your CPU getting mining Pascalcoin? at the moment im not mining at all, im instead buying crypto as my energy bills are rather high for not alot return. I was mining Masari, I still have a small rig in the corner with low powered GPU's connected to Nicehash. But my 2950x and 1080ti is my main computer, its not currently mining.

Setting up an official wallet is a breeze. https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/pasc?HashingPower=3.15&HashingUnit=KH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=0&CostPerkWh=0.14&MiningPoolFee=1 I wonder if more physical RAM will help increase hashrate for PASC.

It turned out that a Discord miner of PascalCoin revealed that "... my i7 runs the same with 4x 2GB or 4x 4GB with 2x 8GB it drops... so, more channels rather than more RAM"

According to my initial test, my PASC hashrate has increased by about 35% (from nearly 3000 H/s to more than 4000 H/s) after adding two more sticks of 8GB DDR4/3200 RAM to set up a quad-channel mode of 32 GB RAM. But 2950X CPU's power usage also nearly doubled from about 50% to nearly 100%, while temperature is under control at 68 degrees Celsius. What frustrateted,me is AMD Radeon VII always oveheated to more than 90 degrees Celsius. When it was used to simultaneously mine Ethereum or Monero with xmr-stak, rhminer would also slow down significantly. It is not a problem mining with AMD RX 480 only. I must manually undervolt the GPU beast, it seems. autoundervolting has not worked.

My Radeon VII has arrived . It can mine ETH at 89 Mh/s，and Monero at about 2200 H/s after increasing intensity to 2000 in the AMD.txt.
