Title: AMD r9 280X and GTX 1060 with 300sol/s Zcash but PROBLEMS!
Post by: geozz on September 10, 2017, 10:04:31 AM
Hi everybody,

I am a newbie in bitcoin world. I just started mining last week (august 2017) with a Geforce GTX 1060 3GB OC and an AMD r9 280X 3GB. I get 300 sol/s on each card, while 280X is underclocked and my 1060 is overclocked to the max.

I first tried NiceHash for mining with those cards, but because the fee is extreme high, i just mine with Claymore and EWBF @ 300sol/s.
Since yesterday my R9 280X gives me some error codes:
"GPU #0 returned incorrect data!"
and that multiple times...
And sometimes i see "GPU #0 share rejected"

I tried to give the 280X less power, but no luck.

What is this, and what can i do about this, it seems to be someting negative. '

And than, the 1060OC is getting just 65 degrees max, but the 280X is getting more than 80 degrees!! Sometime more dan 90! But i turn my pc off then. How is this possible, or how can i make claymore make my gpu colder? Is it possible to buy better cooling paste, yes its possible but does it work? What kind of paste is strong?

For now, i am the most happy with the GTX 1060, its cold - small card - low power rate (max 120W) - great overclock utility - get 300sol/s.
R9 280X is older, hotter, but faster without overclock!

Regards

That error because you undervolt 280x to much. You can try powerlimit -20% to make 280x colder for running long time.

Also try switching 1060 and 280x positions might be the 280 is in a bad position or not properly installed

what exact clocks are you using for the 1060 3GB?

Still as an option if there are errors that will reduce the intensity of mining, it should be corrected error GPU returned....
