So before I start going through every page of this 70 page thread...

Are there flags or a way to set core/mem clocks, voltage, and fan speeds with Diablominer?

Wanted to try it out with the -f flags to mine while gaming but didn't see any mention of these sorts of options so far in Diablominer the way CGMiner does.

Nope, DM can't control those yet.

I see, thanks as always for the responses DiabloD3.

Do you know if there are plans to put those kinds of controls into DM at some point?

Possibly. I'm considering the idea of rewriting the entire thing in C, which makes doing what cgminer does with ADL very easy.

Sorry to cross post this, but I just realized you guys may be able to help better with my problem.
I'm trying to get my 7970 hashing in P2Pool, but I can't seem to get it configured correctly with diablominer.
It works fine with cgminer, but I get better hashrates with diablo.

Anyone got this combo (diablominer+P2Pool) working?
I can get diablo running, but it just sits at 0.0Mh/s, even though the P2Pool app seems to be working fine.
Is there a log file or something I can post that will help track down the issue?
I followed the setup instructions in the first few posts of the P2Pool thread, but they don't seem to address diablo specifically, and I think I'm just missing some minor (but important) bit of string to get it hashing.
Any help appreciated.

I use P2Pool, but it works fine here. What arguments are you using? Because it should be -o localhost -r 9932, no -u or -p required

Really? The guide I read said I had to put in a user and pwd, and tie it to the bitcoin.conf file.
I'll try it without extra tags and see if that works better.
Thanks!

You only need a -u -p and edit bitcoin.conf if you intend to solo mine.

Dear OSX users:

Apparently OSX not only requires -w 64 to work, but it also requires -na to work as well.

Aha! I new it was something simple, just could put my finger on it.
I used the flags you suggested, and it works great. FYI, the port is 9333, not 9933.

I'm now hashing in P2Pool. So far, my payout seems really weak, but I know P2P works a little differently than most pools, with higher personal difficulty and such.
I'll give it a couple days, then go back to Eclipse if it doesn't start paying similarly.
I was getting about 0.3-0.4 BTC per 24 hr on Eclipse, so we'll see....

Thanks for your help and the awesome miner!

On another note, is there any benefit to one work size over another, if the hashrate is the same?
I can run -w 256 or -w 128, and get ~705Mh/s either way. Is there any reason to keep experimenting?

It exists just because some really are faster. If its not for you, just choose the largest (which is 256 on any AMD hardware).

That's what I was wondering, is there any reason to use a larger or smaller work size, apart from any speed differences?
For example, does a small work size reduce the risk of stales? Does a larger work size use less wattage?
I don't think it has anything to do with either of those things, that was just an example of the type of difference it might make.
Why do I feel like I'm not asking this right....?
I guess I'm asking if, apart from hashing speed, work size has any effect on any other part of the total process?

It doesn't change anything outwards. The hardware itself has optimum ways of using work, and even though 4 wavefronts (64*4 = -w 256) is supposed to be always optimum if you have enough registers (at -v 2, we do, higher -vs, not so much although -v 2,1 fits on vliw5 hardware (but not vliw4)).

Its just that for some reason some people are faster on -w 128, and they shouldn't be. They just are. Might as well abuse it while you can.

Great, thanks for the clarification!
I'll just leave it on 128 until I see a reason to change then.

I'd also be concerned about why you were only getting ~625 per card before.
I was getting 675-ish, even before I installed my water block.
Sounds like there may be other issues at work...

Well, from what I've heard, on 12.2, people get about 560 at stock clocks. Has this changed?
