Title: Power Mystery Post by: mdawgminer on March 02, 2018, 08:16:35 PM I知 having fits getting my overclocking settings to load properly on a boot, but that痴 for another thread. So yesterday I finally got my rig all dialed in (2 1080ti, 2 1080, 1 1070, 3 1060, 2 580, 1 570) and my power meter says I知 pulling roughly 660 watts from each supply (2 supplies). That got me comfortable enough to order the 12 card today. I check my power meters from time to time as a check to make sure I知 mining. I just checked them and I was pulling 950 Watts per PS! So I remote logged in to the computer and checked the overclock settings. Opened Afterburn from the tray for the nVidias, all checked out fine. Open Sapphire Trixx for the ATIs, all checked fine. Reopened the power monitor and low and behold I知 back down to 660 per PS. The ATIs were the ones causing me power issues, so my hypothesis is that Trixx needs to stay open?

The ATIs were the ones causing me power issues, so my hypothesis is that Trixx needs to stay open? could you make that rig more complex? 11 cards amd and nvidia and at least 6 different models 2 different oc softwares 2 different psu's good luck with it . let me give you a little advice Msi Afterburner has a monitor page on it is a sample timer. Since you have 4 nvidia models and 8 cards it needs to sample 8 x 16 x 60 = 7680 plus for just your nvidia cards. I get the 60 from the time setting of 1000 micro seconds. or 1 second or 60 times per minute you do not need to sample that often. set to 12000 = 12 seconds so 8 x 16 x 5 = 640 things a minute. this will lighten your cpu load a lot. your idea of trixx needing to be open may also help if you want a photo or two if the msi setting let me know Title: Re: Power Mystery Post by: mdawgminer on March 02, 2018, 08:40:03 PM Believe it or not, it ran pretty well right off the bat (I was prepared to do a lot of troubleshooting). Just needed to dial in the power to each card. I知 planning on building more rigs once the workshop I知 building is finished. I will definitely make them more uniform in the future.
Thank you for the advice! That explains why Afterburner is so laggy. Title: Re: Power Mystery Post by: fanatic26 on March 02, 2018, 08:41:42 PM Switch to linux if you want reliable and consistent results when it comes to mining.
