Please help!

Hi, I'm mining Ethereum and SiaCoin with claymore on a gtx 1080 ti fTW3. I've gotten the mining window to work, as I am mining shares with a pool system, but unfortunately, those shares are not populating in my wallet. I am also having problems with my fans, in that when my GPU is working at 100% capacity, the fans are not working at full blast like other mining software I have used. In fact, the computer is quiet. Perhaps it's not calibrated correctly? I am worried I am damaging the card by mining without the correct cooling.

I am also encountering another strange thing. The miner recognizes my card, but my GPU is not running/operating at its full clock speed. It's about 5/8 of full capacity. I wonder if I could be more efficient in mining if the clock was at its full power. (Perhaps it's because my card is aftermarket and can out-perform the 1080ti standards/settings

My shares from mining are also not appearing in my wallet. I inserted the addresses of my wallets (one for SiaCoin and one for Ethereum) into the files within the claymore folder. I don't know if I need to activate a command to start a transfer, nor do I know where the actual shares from mining are going. I am using the Siacoin built in wallet, and MetaMask for ethereum.

If anyone knows some solutions I would be very grateful!

SiaCoin mining is impossible with GPU now, due to the ASICs. You're better off switching to Pascal, Library or some other dual mined coin. Follow the troubleshooting steps in the readme; start with a simple config, then expand.

This works for me on 2 x 1080Ti EthDcrMiner64.exe -r 1440 -dcri 55 -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal wallet/station/password -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -dwal login -dpsw x -dcoin lbc -ftime 10

The problem with those cards is that fans run depending on GPU temperature rather than memory temperature and because mining doesn't make GPU to work then fans stay quiet. This is good for gaming but bad for mining because mining is 100% memory intensive. Just give them some time, at some point fans will start running for sure.
