Title: random blank green screen and high power draw?
Post by: tarui on August 23, 2017, 02:28:22 PM
I am running 5x gigabyte rx580 aorus at stock speeds 1340/2000 iirc on a 1250w psu.

every few hours i get a random blank green screen of death. i have no idea what happened before the green screen appeared as the automatic screen off timer would have kicked in.

Also I noticed even though i am running just 5 cards, the power draw on the wall plug is 1310-1320w? isn't that too high?

full system specs
biostar tb250btc pro
kingston 4gb ram
pentium g4400


it's mining ethereum only on claymore 9.8

Well you didn't stated, what algorithm, or currency are you mining,
but I suppose that your gpu clocks are set  uselessly high.
Try to lower clocks behavior then.

i;m mining ethereum and using claymore 9.8

just before i saw this reply, I let the green screen remain on while the display timer went off again then now it's showing the miner once again?

lower the clocks

1200 core
1950 ram

and lower voltage  by -50

use msi afterburner
