Unable to dual mine Eth+Erg on the same rig [solved]

I would move the GPUs around, but the heat problem is likely a result of my setup. I have all of my rigs in my basement covered with a tarp, and air is circulated from outside with an in-line fan which exhausts the air. The GPUs closest to the wall tend to get hotter than the others, and those are the ones overheating when mining Erg.

I appreciate the advice. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure this out.

After “sleeping on it,” no solutions. But I’ve noticed when I have more than miner running on a rig that the seems to be less stable and having to reboot it. Using TRex and lolminer (because of 3060), though not as bad as what you have been experiencing. I’ve also noticed that there are several thread where people are having trouble with keeping rig stable with more than one miner on a rig ( some of which I’ve seen you respond to).

I first tried about a week ago, but haven’t been able to get it working. For now I’ll stick to mining Eth on those rigs. Hopefully this will be fixed before Eth moves over to POS.

Same thing happens to me anytime I try mining eth and ergo at the same time it restarts and shuts down miner running eth while ergo is still able to run I dual mine metaverse and ravencoin with eth and have no problems it only does this with ergo…

Very strange. Maybe I’ll try mining RVN instead. Glad I’m not the only one.

Yea when I first installed hive it worked but after updating a couple times seems like it became unstable I would get a bunch of diffrent errors.

That’s interesting. Both of my 5700xt rigs constantly reboot if I upgrade past 0.6-203, but I’m trying to dual mine on my Vega rigs. I wonder if downgrading would fix the issue… I’ll give it a shot when I have the time.

Heh, just ditched win10 to try my hand at ergo and eth on hive for better vega state locking, only found this post after 2 nights of trying to get trm and lolminer to hash eth and ergo respectively, but it’s good to know that shits broken on Hive for everyone so I can bugger off back to win10’s unstable-but-working dumpster fire.

I got it working again it started happening dual mining ergo and eth then yesterday it started happening with raven coin and eth today for both it would keep mining ergo while my gpus mining eth would just disappear on screen same thing started happening with raven coin an eth last night would keep mining raven and the gpu mining eth would disappear on screen throwing no restart messages etc so I hooked up a monitor to see if a error was being thrown I couldn’t see sure enough it was error process information pid 0 gpu 3 timeout said something like that so I downgraded and unhooked all risers off cards then replaced them on after that everything worked again no problems dual mining now they don’t disappear or crash it’s been 8 hours

What version did you downgrade to?

0.6-193@210118 I would unplug the risers from the cards the reseat them before downgrading that’s what I did it’s been about 10 hours still stable no problems changed flight sheets couple times to make sure it wouldn’t crash or throw any errors either so far only 1 rejected share within 8 hours

@kvng-ode is it still running? Could you post a screenshot of your flight sheet? I’m wondering which is your first miner and whether it’s mining Eth or Erg, and which is your second miner. Also, if you’re using Teamredminer, are you using -d 0,1,2 or --devices=0,1,2 to select the GPUs?

I use teamred for erg and gminer for eth also use same oc on all algos

Ran it for 24 hours with no hiccups I usually mine raven for one day then ergo then etc sometimes

I set up a flight sheet with Teamredminer on Erg and Gminer on Eth, and it works fine. No idea why I’ve been unable to get it working with Phoenixminer, SRBMiner, or Lolminer. My settings were no different than yours except I was trying to use a different miner. The problem with using Gminer to mine Eth is that my hash rate for the 5 GPUs using Gminer is around 55% of what I was getting with Teamredminer.

Alright I’ve got it working with some of the other miners. For some reason Teamredminer and Phoenixminer do not work together in a dual mining setup. I’ve got it working with SRBMiner, Lolminer, and NBMiner so far. I’m getting a 14-16% reduction in my Eth hashrates, but Lolminer seems to be the best.

How did you fix it?

I don’t really know why it started working. My guess is that I previously switched flight sheets from TRM/Phoenixminer to TRM/SRBMiner or TRM/Lolminer without rebooting, and the issues from Phoenixminer caused the others to mess up. I’ve been rebooting the rig every time I try a new flight sheet and it seems to work that way. I’ve had a couple issues with GPUs being dead and the rig not rebooting, or the rig freezing up and not rebooting, but I think I solved those issues with a script I wrote and it’s running fairly stable now.

I updated now it isn’t working again gonna try everything again to try and fix it.this always happens when I update!

Is it worth investing in rtx 3090 and mine eth until it goes PoS, and then switch to erg?
