Low Power Optimized Mining of Dynex (DNX) on Windows

Mining

There are plenty of GPU-intensive crypto cash on the market that may be mined with video playing cards that in contrast to ETH/ETC and different memory-intensive algorithms don’t require plenty of gigabytes of video reminiscence or a really quick reminiscence entry speeds or clocks. One fascinating such tasks is Dynex (DNX) and we’ve already lined it final month as one thing fascinating which may deserve your consideration and mining energy (nonetheless Nvidia GPU mining solely). Now, we’re going to be specializing in a special side of mining DNX that makes use of its personal customized miner that in contrast to most different multi-mining software program doesn’t help GPU tweaking choices. Because of this if you don’t optimize the GPUs you might be utilizing for mining you may be losing plenty of additional energy with none achieve in efficiency and at instances of decrease profitability for mining this isn’t one thing you ought to be desirous to do.

Miners that use Linux-based working methods reminiscent of HiveOS have extra choices to manage the working parameters of their GPU-based mining rigs no matter what miner software program they presently make use of, nevertheless Home windows customers are having a tough time doing the identical factor. There are some helpful graphical instruments reminiscent of MSI AfterBurner or command-line instruments reminiscent of nvidia-smi, however they aren’t as helpful or simple to make use of or useful as one would possibly assume. The excellent news right here is that Home windows customers would possibly use some “cheats” in simply tweaking their mining {hardware} the way in which they need it to, whatever the miner software program they make the most of.

That is potential all because of among the new options launched recently within the lolMiner mining software program. These usually are not solely the choices for command line setting the GPU core clock, reminiscence clock, energy restrict and the core clock offset, but additionally and really importantly the choice to show off the reset of overclock settings when exiting the miner. This implies that you would be able to run the lolMiner software program briefly (be certain it’s ran as Administrator for clock settings to work), stop it and have it depart the settings you utilized for the GPU clock after which simply run one other miner like DynexSolve for mining DNX or simply about one other one. Simply ensure that the mining software program you run after that doesn’t handle GPU settings by itself or does reset them to some default states as it’s going to defeat the entire objective.

Beneath you’ll find an instance command line to run lolMiner setting the clocks on RTX 3070 GPU after which routinely exiting with out resetting them again to the usual ones when exiting. Since we run lolMiner and not using a actual KAS handle it connects to the pool after which routinely exits the miner after which we run the DynexSolve miner and begin mining DNX with the identical optimized GPU setting that we might’ve used for mining Kaspa for example with lolMiner. This fashion we get the identical or possibly even increased efficiency with lowered energy utilization than if we simply run the DynexSolver miner with the default settings for the GPU, simply don’t neglect so as to add your DNX pockets within the instance beneath (don’t add KAS pockets, depart the x there):

lolMiner.exe --algo KASPA --pool stratum+tcp://pool.eu.woolypooly.com --port 3112 --user x --watchdog exit --cclk 1710 --mclk 810 --coff 300 --no-oc-reset

The identical factor may be utilized to a different miner and one other crypto coin that’s GPU-intensive and you may decrease the video reminiscence to the minimal and likewise lower the working frequency of the GPU to a decrease degree that it may well nonetheless deal with mining at with a high-enough working frequency. This fashion you’ll be able to go considerably decrease than 100 Watts per RTX 3070 GPU and nonetheless managing to take care of the gorgeous a lot similar hashrate that you’d usually obtain mining at inventory settings. And if the cash tolerate even increased GPU clock and that brings additional efficiency you’ll be able to make the most of the additional energy utilization headroom for additional growing the efficiency you get whereas sustaining a lot decrease energy utilization on the whole.
