I tried getting Wolf's and sg-miner for Ubuntu working for the RX 480. The AMD Pro and SDK installed. It keeps giving a compiler error not finding CL/cl.h

I want to see what this Ryzen box can do!

that part i could do heh

Code: 
locate libOpenCL.so
/opt/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/lib/x86/libOpenCL.so
/opt/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/lib/x86/libOpenCL.so.1
/opt/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so
/opt/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/lib/x86_64/sdk/libOpenCL.so
/opt/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/lib/x86_64/sdk/libOpenCL.so.1
/usr/lib64/fglrx/libOpenCL.so
/usr/lib64/fglrx/libOpenCL.so.1
Code: 
wget https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-xmr-miner/archive/0.4.tar.gz
tar xvzf 0.4.tar.gz
mv -f wolf-xmr-miner-0.4/* .
cp -a Makefile Makefile.orig
sed -i "s|\/opt\/AMDAPP\/SDK\/include|\/opt\/AMDAPPSDK-3.0\/include|" Makefile
sed -i "s|-L\/home\/wolf\/AMD_APP_SDK_3.0_Beta_Win64\/lib\/x86_64|-L\/opt\/AMDAPPSDK-3.0\/lib\/x86_64\/sdk|" Makefile
just for me on centos 7.3 not liking 4.10.1 kernel
Code: 
./miner xmr.conf
[12:53:19] Setting up GPU(s).
modprobe: FATAL: Module fglrx not found.
Error! Fail to load fglrx kernel module! Maybe you can switch to root user to load kernel module directly
*** Error in `./miner': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f8f5b9030ce ***

Did anyone here did a comparison between RX480 and RX470 with real tools to mesure power consumption?

I'm curious to know which one is the best regarding hashing power / watt... From my reading it seems that the 470 is a bit better (and there is the ability to run 2 rom making it easier/safer to tweak) being less performant than the 480 but with a better hs/w but I'm unsure. Anyone to confirm/refute that? Thanks

The first time I tried to compile Wolfs it failed because of I think the same error.

So I typed this command " sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenCL.so.1 /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so"

@eva2000 that worked! Thank you!!!!

What rawintensity are you guys using on the RX 470 and RX 480?

I did rawintensity 960 and 2 threads on the RX 480 and am getting 605 H/s

On the Ryzen 7 1700 box, it is now doing 483H/s on the CPU (not overclocked) and 605H/s - 1103H/s total at 230W. 4.8H/s per W. (updated with results from Best AMD RX 480 rawintensity Monero Testing )

@DrPeter I have an RX 470 here so I can try doing a comparison. It may take a day or two.

Added:
1x Intel Xeon E5-2667 V4 - in a 1U server using 118W
2x Intel Xeon E5-2690 V4 - in a 2U server using 272W

Interesting that the single E5-2667 V4 is almost equal to the Ryzen 7 1800X. The power draw is 20% less for the Intel chip though.

@Patrick With the ryzen numbers, was that in ubuntu? Ive tried using wolfs and claymore and can only get up to 270-290 on windows 10. My fx8320 does better than that... should I be able to get close to 500 in windows or is that only ubuntu?

i'm doing it via docker Ubuntu 17.0.4 Zesty image, go as far as this
Code: 
./miner xmr.conf
[23:14:23] Setting up GPU(s).
[23:14:23] Error -1 when calling clGetDeviceIDs for number of devices.
I switched out my AMD HD5870 for AMD R7 260X

I did the same. BTW I told the SVP of Radeon that I have $100 in a Kickstarter if they start a project.

Added RX 470 4GB Results.

Honestly in 2017 it shouldn't be that hard to install GPU drivers across multiple distributions to work with latest kernels as well. It reminds me why I only play with CentOS/Linux for headless servers and still use Windows for desktop/laptops :D

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 then updated to all the latest updates then installed AMDPRO-GPU 16.60 then AMD SDK then followed Patricks how-to on installing the 4.10.1 kernel to fix Ryzen from crashing even tho I am running a couple of Xeons.

Runs great.

@m0bilitee is it worth Monero mining on ancient gpus like HD5870 and HD5970 ? Trying to figure it on on CentOS 7.3 with elrepo kernel-ml 4.10.1 :)

Boy, hard to say. I just got started in this myself with newer hardware on the GPU side so I don't have much experience. I'd do a search and see what others have pulled off with those.
