Title: GPUs die after some time, MSI Afterburner issue.
Post by: c-none on November 16, 2017, 04:44:13 PM
Hi there, I am having a weird issue.

I have Win10 installed and fully updated to latest stable one.
On this rig I use 7 x 1080TI cards however a few hours later I start the windows, some GPUs randomly drops from MSI Afterburner and becomes uncontrollable like in the image.

You can see that 1st GPU dropped now. It happens randomly and this is really boring.

Anyone can have a solution for me?

Thanks a lot.

this is an alt coin question

some not all 1080 ti's do this

do you have 7 identical  1080 ti's

do you have gigabyte 1080 ti's

for my troubled 1080 ti's

all gigabyte in my case I made a smos rig  which is linux software

I did not try SMOS coz I am mining at nicehash.

However it will be better for me to skip to SMOS I believe.

What do you think about my issue? What may cause this any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

As Phil said - this an altcoin HW query, this area is BITCOIN only. Post in the right area for better answers 'cause BTC outgrew GPU's years ago.

i mine zec at nicehash and smos is more stable then windows


most of these rigs are on smos ------ the ones named phil are smos based
pointed to nicehash

I have asked mods to move this to altcoins

I would look into PiMP as a mining platform over SMOS. It gives you so many more options and is nicehash compatible.
