I have the same setup like you Cryptozillah, but can you say me how much watts you consume for the whole rig ??
1200w at the wall overclocked. Too much, cant figure out why it is pulling that much power. My system should pull around 75w, so the gpus have to pull around 180w+ each What the hell, 1200W is too much for the RX480, i've seen before somes miners claim and share 140-150 mh/s with 750-850W for the whole rig, if someone have good settings to share you are welcome  Yeah i dont get this, i have been trying to underclock today but no big difference. I am starting to think that my wattmeter is broken. here is a rx 480 stock gpu leave it alone not in the photo then the memory I am at stock 2000
then memory volts I am at stock auto set here first for your baseline. the key to under clock is this see the oval is at -23 that is what saves watts. so with all settings above stock set your fans close to mine and try power saver at -15 you will mine in the 24-25mh spot check the watts used set power saver at -20 you will mine in same 24-25mh spot check watts used then -22 , -24 , -26, -28, -30 keep checking watts and mh somewhere near 26-32 mh drops a lot so go to -25 what ever for your cards you may have the six cards like this: one -21 two -27 three -26 four -29 five -20 six -23  |

So Bitmain no longer is selling any more S9 to cap the hashrate ?
Sure doesn't look like the hash rate is capped any more. Maybe they're selling to private farms, or outfitting hashnest. There's also the likely possibility that Avalon will soon enter the fray. Maybe they're testing. Originally when Bitmain released the S9 at an insane price and with an effective monopoly I really wanted to see Avalon, BW, or anyone compete with them. But now that I've taken the S9 plunge (b3, which was the sweet spot), part of me selfishly hopes that a competitor doesn't rock the boat. If a competitor comes on the scene, Bitmain is in a perfect position to annihilate them. If that happens then the ensuing price war will drive down the price of current mining hardware, drive up the difficulty, and kill any chance of ROI in Bitcoin terms of S9 early adopters like me. The only thing keeping me from panicking in the face of the oncoming difficulty tsunami and selling my S9 right now, where there is zero competition and breathing room before the boom comes down, is my wife reminding me that I'm impossible to live with when I'm not mining  I'm a hobbyist miner I'm not nearly invested as some. So I'm ok with overriding the businessman in me that says that the time to sell my S9 is now. For those of you that are heavily invested in the S9 at non-discounted prices, my heart goes out to you. My only saving grace is the power cost is managed so as diff gets worse my power to coin cost does not get worse. Ie my deal is 1/2 the coins goes for power. So my power cost is 50% |

16.7.2 Clock to 2200 which is 8800 Then set fans to 2800- -4500. Temps to 75 -65 Lastly set power to -25 Look at my long thread it has a lot of info on clocks. Note leave gpu freq and gpu volts alone. And leave memory volts alone I only mine with windows 7. 6 pcs and 14 cards. |

Don't know but I suspect some very interesting stuff happens behind the scenes a lot of hash came on line see below  Dec 17 2014 39,457,671,307 -1.37% 282,449,013 GH/s Dec 02 2014 40,007,470,271 -0.73% 286,384,627 GH/s Nov 18 2014 40,300,030,328 1.76% 288,478,854 GH/s Nov 05 2014 39,603,666,252 10.05% 283,494,086 GH/s <<<<< but maybe this is where we are on the patterns of jumps Oct 23 2014 35,985,640,265 2.81% 257,595,247 GH/s |

I was hoping for at least a month of 10% downturn, like the last halving. Looks like that isn't happening. The current upswing is frightening. I fear for my S9's ROI  yeah we could be getting the big squeeze... push diff to 300 drop btc to 550 ugh |

Thanks all for the feedback. Try replacing the powered USB riser, or dedusting the slots, testing components like RAM, CPU, disable OC, disable all sleep and low power states, lower the miner's intensity, etc. There are so many things that can be wrong causing your problem.
I tried 3 different brands and also tried the system with just one card(plugged into the motherboard directly) so I ruled that out. Also it's super clean as it's been in a filtered room, but will try de-dusting them. RAM and CPU could very well be related, I'm thinking maybe the heatsink isn't doing it's job, but from what CPU-Z reports, it's nice a chilly around 50-60c under load. Is there a log to file method? Maybe something happens right before it powers itself down that I'm missing since I can't catch the heat readings. Tried 3 different power supplies as well. It's odd because it doesn't seem to be an OS crash, just simply powers itself down. In Bios I have all OC disabled, and have it to resume on power failure (such as being unplugged from the wall, when you plug it back in it should power up). It does this, but if I let it "crash" then try this method, it won't power back up automatically, I must hit the power button. This is very odd, since I can kill the power from the wall or PSU, then resume power, and it comes right back up. But if this "crash" happens, the only way to get it to turn back on is the power button. Also this happens even when not mining, so that's another odd thing. I'm using Windows 10, various re-install methods, next is to try Windows 7 I guess, but I hear Windows 7 can only read a certain number of GPU cards for mining, I can't find a solid answer on this for mining. It was running great for 3 days straight when I first built it, then it just started powering itself off constantly, after running for 1-2 hours. i am on a tablet so click and drag link is not happening, but i have a long thread in this section. i have a four card build the rx 480 solid just works no risers i use the newegg site to order the biostar z 170 mobo. i reviewed the mobo on newegg website under philip a i gave it a very good review |

if they have one I would be willing to run a few group buys like I did for the avalon 6's

Maybe too early for me to chime in on this, but it looks like 20-30% drop in hashing after halving never materialized even with some serious price downdraft.
All we got was a few low ups and one -5% with difficulty back to where it was in early July, and now with Avalon coming and S9 being obviously produced for internal use, it might never happen.
there are a lot of s-7 and avalon 6 gear 800ph. any way you cut it even if it does not look like it is slowing the diff rate it is.. the network now seems to be close to 1650ph maybe 1700ph. so if all older then s-7 turns back to 100 or 200 ph vs 400 to 500 ph. and some s-7/avalon 6 drops back to 600ph vs 800 ph. replacing all the other hash means we are 100ph old 600 ph middle 950 ph new. frankly that cant be true. |

571blocks next diff: 12.41% 226955995931
when will it stop?
Well, at least we had one drop. I do not foresee any significant downturn unless the price drops significantly and stays down for some time. Well one drop is better then no drops. Still the s-7 is now a losing miner at 12 cents. and with the jump it becomes a losing miner at 11 cents. there is about 800ph in s-7 and avalon6 gear. so it has to drop off soon. even with upward s-9 and other gear . |

i believe you no need to panic , may be bittrex might have precautionary made it maintenance mode to prevent from hacking or they may be adding some security features on the wallet menu , open support ticket and wait.
,
they emailed me at 2:49am the wallet is now fixed my small amount of eth coins are intact. Due to the bitfinex mess I needed some coin so I cashed these coins out today from ETH to BTC . I then withdrew the BTC. https://blockchain.info/tx/fea4c15a0a7e25317af205b27c6ae33b61ef76bd120c07759d6a42bf2a011b86this is the withdraw above yet to confirm but it should do so soon. |

I did not get the email either.
My holdings are small but I would think they are big enough to send me an email.

My 470 comes on Tuesday.
The 460 may be a loser for mining from what I read on anandtech.com

we have 2 hours and 42 minutes to break the record!!

yeah I asked mods to move it.

The counter intuitive thing is that the more we talk about how bad it is, the rising diff and dropping price, the more hash that appears to be coming online. Maybe it's not old gear, but rather new and not publicized gear.
bitfury, avalon etc could be. |
|
|
|
At the moment, hackers will rather hack ETC than hack ETH. Bittrex probably got scared with what happened to Bitfinex and wanted to take extra precautions.  hopefully so. once again not a lot of coin at stake but no reply from my email and eth wallet is still not accessible. |

What makes you think exactly that their wallets have been compromised?
I don't use Bittrex myself, but on other exchanges it's not that unusual for wallets to go in maintenance mode for a couple of hours..
It is now 11 hours. |

Okay I was whacked just a bit with the bitfinex attack not much but some. So Last night I go to the bittrex exchange thinking to see my accounts there. I notice that the ETH account is in maintenance 8 hours ago, so I say I will check it this morning well it is still in maintenance. I have sent a support request so far an auto reply. So if you have a bittrex account with ETH coins please take a look if you are stuck in maintenance. To mods yeah I know this is about the ETH coin wallet on Bittrex, but Bittrex has sizable BTC amounts in their control. This is not spreading FUD about bittrex, but an effort to see WTF is happening. Basically is this going to be a Bitfinex, but with ETH?. The funds are here. https://etherchain.org/account/0x3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857#txreceivedhttps://etherchain.org/tx/0x059e2697c8b2535bb5a8f0ef9c3a77bedc30603ff79f994b8e74c85442e222b4but no updates here. So if you are with bittrex please check your accounts  |
