I could try a different setup with my psu. i will use two rm1000.
my 5 cards is running good since 2 hours
The RM1000's are quality boards... What you might consider is removing a couple cards and running just off the one RM1000 first, verify it's working, then swap PSU's and verify again - this way you can tell if one of them is having issues, or if the issue is something related to running them together. Personally I run all mine off of single server PSU's (the DPS-2000BB), much cheaper AND higher quality, pretty hard to beat. Oh, and if you're using risers, you don't need to worry about that molex warning, it's just seeing that cards are connected and not that they're actually being powered by the risers. How do you power your mobo ? |

I'm f*cking pissed off.
1. installed Win 10
2. installed driver 16.9.2
3. updated the chipset drivers for the MOBO
4. Added the Env variable and the 16 gig of hard drive of virtual drive
Now GPU hang and Win 10 just freaking crash. (something it's one card, 2 or 3 ...)
I mined all night with 5 cards on win 7. It's not a freaking hardware issue, i'm pretty sure.
Are these cards stock or overclocked? Also is the card hanging up the primary display? I use the On Board HDMI for windows. Everything is stock. Today was suppose to be the day for overclocking  EDIT: I managed to got them all mining one time otherwise it looks like to be random with 0 MH on 2-3 cards each time I start the process. EDIT: someone time Win 10 crash with the Video TDR fault .. blue screen of death. Now the mining process just crash. It's a fucking nightmare EDIT: I'm gonna try to use a card instead of the onboard but i'm sure it's not the issue. The very strange behavior is when it crashes, my main Monitor just start flaking (like a Resolution test) like the OS is re-install the driver over and over EDIT: And Windows is telling me that an application has been block from using the graphics hardware I've had systems with all sorts of faults as well. Drove me nuts and in the end I swapped out the power supply and it's been stable ever since. *knocks on wood* I could try a different setup with my psu. i will use two rm1000. my 5 cards is running good since 2 hours |

What bios version are you guy using with the H81 BTC PRO ?
I run the latest on them all - v2.30. Updated the bios, Had to plud the HMDI into one of the card, the onboard setting has been reset i guess but PC doesn't boot anyone. I had a warning to plug a molex for the EFI (something like that) I did plug both molex jsut to be sure. Black screen of the death ! I think i'm going for at least 2 beer when this is going to work So, after the bios update i managed to get on track... started Claymore Boom all 6 cards was hashing but now the process crash, unable to write to the buffer of GPU 1 and 0 ... Opened my beer a bit too quickly !  EDIT: Also Watchdog error ... restarting the mining process. Ho well ... |

If it works then add a second one... then third one 5 of 6 is now working ... looks like it's the trick ! the last one just broke everything again ... will flip the riser spot to check that EDIT: probably the MOBO ... looks like to be the same behavior that i have with win 7 ... EDIT2: it's not the slot with 5 cards .. it was fine with the last slot .. so i'm pissed off. EDIT3: What bios version are you guy using with the H81 BTC PRO ? |

I flipped the config from Onboard (don't remember the exact name to represent the onboard video card) to PCI Express.
I can see the Bios boot up UI but after that, i got signal but no video. I tried to plug only one card into the 16x Slot but I got the same result.
I had to flip the setting back to onboard card to be able to boot win again.
EDIT: it was working with one card previously but the card was directly plugged into the mainboard (that is why i was wondering if I needed a full 16x to 16 riser)
For all of my H81's I use onboard video, so I don't think that is an issue (but with the Anniversary I had to go to the GPU). I also run Win10 without running any special mods, I basically do a clean install, install the drivers for the H81, and then the latest ATI/Claymore. In the instances where I did have an issue with the boards, it typically was power-related, so you might want to doublecheck your risers, etc. And on the Win10 licenses, I don't buy any - it mines fine without a license, and I just disable automatic updated with gpedit. There aren't any legit licenses for Win10 that aren't in the $100 range - if so you're just paying for pirates stuff (like a shared key, etc), don't bother. Thanks for info. I have an extra riser, i will try that So, I plugged another card into the slot 6 (which was the card in problem in win 7) with the card 5. Everything works fine ... I unplugged card 5 and card 6 is working. So it's a win 7 problem. Will work on that ...
EDIt: All my riser are powered by a single PCI-E cable ... do I still need to plug the molex on the MB ?EDIT: Not sure what to do next except to switch to win 10 ... I use Claymore 16.9.1. with the 6 GPU mod ... I got 7 GPU in fact with the onboard card. So i don't know... So close but so far ! |

Sooooooooooo, I modded my Win 7 to get all 6 card working. Now i'm stuck at 5 with one with the error code 43. (H81 BTC PRO)
I'm using the onboard video card to boot the pc and i think it might take the last spot...
I tried to deactivate the video card on board and plug only 1 card into the 16x connector with a riser BUT the riser is a 1X-16x ... I see the Bios but that's it. It won't boot.
Do i need a 16x to 16x to be able to bypass the onboard video card or I should be able to use the onboard + my 6 cards ?
Thanks
Herb
Did you tried switching from the CPU video chip to the VGA/HDMI system of one of your cards ? You can do it in the BIOS menu. I think it is what you need here from what I've understood. I flipped the config from Onboard (don't remember the exact name to represent the onboard video card) to PCI Express. I can see the Bios boot up UI but after that, i got signal but no video. I tried to plug only one card into the 16x Slot but I got the same result. I had to flip the setting back to onboard card to be able to boot win again. EDIT: it was working with one card previously but the card was directly plugged into the mainboard (that is why i was wondering if I needed a full 16x to 16 riser) EDIT2: Using Claymore 16.9.1 |

have you tried the 6xGPU Registry hack? https://lbr.id.lv/6xgpu_mod/6xGPU_mod.htmlYeah I did that, I went from 4 card to 5. So i think the mod did work |

Nice rig Aries - love those black and red MSI stripes - take a photo with lights off, you could see that MSI dragon badge..
BTW, where in Amazon can you buy Win10 for 25 bucks?
Yeah nice rig ! Way cheaper then mine to build the case. |

I'm making some change at home and i will be using two 4K DPS breaking board with the DPS-2000.
Last time I red this thread I took a good look at all my cable and the breaking board and none was overheating then come the summer. I made some change two days ago and I had to change 5 cables.
2 was in bad shape with brownish yellow cables and the connector was also affected at the board side but nothing miner side.
So I should have added some extra air flow on the breaking board and it would probably not happen.
So now I have some brownish connectors on the board side. I don't see any modification to the connector form, even with the worst one. Just sucks to see that.
So beware and add some extra air flow to the breaking board if you're room temps is getting hot for a long period of time.

Anyone got any ideas why windows locks up when I start claymore. It gets to loading dag then locks up.
All cards are over locked. Most of the time it's the card with active video for teamviewer
Cards were at 1130/auto core 1945/955 mem
Moved them too 1130/auto core 2000/1000 mem
To much of an overclock?
Didn't move power.. maybe Up the watts?
I have noticed that on some of my machines the card that is the primary display adapter, that you connect to a monitor etc, needs to be set to a slightly lower overclock/higher voltage than the rest for better stability. This card has to run additional system threads and can cause freezes/lockups. Your clocks are pretty high already, I would recommend not getting greedy and sticking to 1130/1945. Raising them further will hardly net you any noticeable gains while pushing up power usage as well as causing instability. Happy Mining. Okay thanks to both of you I'll bring them all back down to 1130/1945/955. Great info thanks guys ! What the best solution to clock them quickly with theses specs ? (kind of newb with all the Bios mod vs Wattman) Thanks |

For those of you who host your miners, what's the consensus on Cryptoboreas in Labrador? Any issues with them connecting to Kano? Wanna make sure everything is legit and kosher before I send out my miners.
I've had four machines hosted at Cryptoboreas since early March and it's been a positive experience. I was initially skeptical about having machines collocated at a facility that I didn't have VPN access to, but since their power cost is so low and Alan has overwhelmingly positive feedback I bit the bullet. If, for whatever reason, Bitmain decides to drop their prices or Avalon can produce a reasonable alternative asic, I'll be sending new machines up there. My personal experience is excellent. Alan and his partner are really good people. Most of my fire power is with them and it's been for over a year now. |
