Title: GPU only power draw - Speed jumps all over the place
Post by: r3lentleSs on October 27, 2017, 01:29:47 PM
Is this normal when i look in to GPUz at my GPU only power draw, the rate jumps all over the place.
I'm getting 50's, then 110, then jumps to 160 .... for all my cards ...

Don't know if this is normal behavior ? And if not what is the problem ?

It is not normal. Please post info about your os, hardware, software, oc settings.

Window 10 PRO
AMD 17.7.2 minimal drivers.
8GB DDR4
H110- D3A MOBO
1000 WATT PSU
4400 CPU

I'm running @stock 1250/1750, whenever i want to OC. AB and TRIXX are laggy aswell.
I'm getting on avg 112-113 wats but i'm getting flashes of 55w then back to 112 then flashes to 160 .... then back to 112-113, then it repeats itself.

So your running @ stock and you seriously wonder why your system is unstable with 6 Cards and a 1000W PSU?

How many cards do you have? Which brand/model?

1000w psu is not the right choice for lets say 6 rx 580 working at stock settings.

I'm getting 820-830watts stock
I had it overclocked and undervolted once, at around 880-890watts.

Now i am not able to OC anymore, due to lag on overclock software.
When i do a OC without undervolting, i'm getting 980-990 watts, and when i return to stock, PSU still remains at those watt levels, so i have to do a fresh os install.

I'm trying to get back to that 1800h/s levels with 880-890watts, but i'm unsuccesfull, new problems keep coming up so i'm forced to do another OS install
Probably did 15 already in the last 10 days ....

Getting desperate

Have you tried a linux based mining OS? They tend to be so much more stable than running a crap windows install.
