Until to day i still mining ethereum, but after this month i will try mining the monero coin. What information i have get, that coin more profitable to mining. And it's have a good future.  and don't forget that a depends on from electricity billing in every country because electricity for miners from the west and miners from the east is different. |

I experienced the same problem 7 months ago, every single month I bought a PSU to replace it up to 3 months 3 PSU. I've been frustrated with that the problems, all the ways I have been done for the fix including advice members like above.
finally, I have found a problem is an electrical voltage in my home not stable (after using a watt meter like Kill A Watt Meter in the USA) because of a cable used not corresponding a procedure or standard for electricity voltage used after the electrician replaced the cable, Mining Rig back to normal and the PSU or USB Riser cable never melt again.

lol that's the dumbest assumption ever, they cant test if its modded or not, ROFL dude manufactures MAKE the gpus why wouldn't they be able to test them to make sure you didn't put a modded bios on it? theres no logic in that, that said if they couldn't test them why on earth would they say anything about modded bios in the first place before you rma a gpu. also to the person whom mentioned ONE person doing the paper clip method and then rma'ing a gpu that's 1 person, I guarantee that doesn't always work. manufactures of these gpus can fix more than we think, likely chances are apon doing an rma your getting back one they previously fixed, not one that's brand new
Your logic may right, so they can check leonix card modded or not, even when leonix card was totally bricked. Then leonix got a new card (brand-new / fixed card or whatever) means what? They know leonix have modded that card but they replace it or may fix it. Let's call it luck, but what wrong with trying to RMA.  OP As I said before on page one, as long as your cards detected by systems, you can do a smooth repair. A few suggestions have mentioned here. I may call it a luck? or whatsoever, I got my new card now, rocking all day long again  sure thing, manufacturers can do things we cant see, however my supplier replaced it, got no questions about it, and sure thing its a modded card.. you can't call it a dumb thing, its an actual scene..  You are absolutely lucky, leonix. You are not the only one called as dumb, so do I. We both called as dumbass. But never mind! at least you have a laugh at me, and I laugh at us both. I felt happy with you today, leonix. |

If you're certain it's bricked and next step is RMA, then try the paper clip trick. Scary, but worked on mine (flashed the wrong bios)...
My card is still under warranty, so I'd rather not try this. I laugh hard reading this.. Actually the OP and I have different scenes, My card is totally dead that couldn't even detect in Bios, there were no signs of fan spinnings or LED lights so basically I've got no problem RMA'ing it (they can't test if its modded or not) But even they didn't ask you; they would ask what causes but they don't, so what wrong with trying. Even in some store like Amazon, they didn't ask. @OP,
you don't do the jumper thing, just reflash your GPU with the correct Bios and you're done.
OP on a direction to do it (smooth repair). But may you give an idea to totally damaged those card to bypass bios checking on RMA. |

I am involved in both mining and POS/MN! So far the MN/POS has been much, much better in terms of gains compared to the mining! But still, both are working quite fine for now, you won't make a mistake by doing it. Just be careful what project you are gonna invest in, because lately there have been a lot of shitcoins, which are being left for dead after the MN presale! Invest wisely and do not rush it! Find yourself a nice project and a MN will bring you mad dough  I've never tried Master Node (So, I haven't an idea, may I need to try it), but I experienced POS with Peercoin, a few years ago. Doing solo mining with Peercoin then I make every block reward that I receive as stake coin in my Peercoin wallet. |

This post has some decent value that many others are missing when it comes to the three different types of coin generation. I think I know why you've ignored cloud mining. Could you share the reason for it? I was in cloud mining before; maybe this is the first cloud mining, cex.io at 2014. My reason at that time is, cex.io has owned one of biggest bitcoin mining pool at that time (Ghash.io). And we can trade our Hashrate directly to BTC at a cex.io market, so I not to worried. A few cloud mining may be trustworthy enough, let's say Genesis that has operated for a long time. And a few have done a scam. My only reason to ignore cloud mining is, we have zero control over it. They can come and goes as they want. |

I vote for hardware mining, at first place. All those three have a risk each. And Masternodes / Staking at the second place. And I'll ignore Cloud Mining.
Hardware mining was having more risk than Masternodes / Staking, but we have a machine and also some coins as a mining result. We can sell the coins, even when coin price drop, and also we can sell our machine, except ASIC its resell value isn't good enough.
Masternodes / Staking also have a risk, when coin price drop, but still, we have some coin to sell.
Doing both above, we have something as an asset, and we have full control over it.

. he cant RMA you dumbass, any gpu with a modified bios gets claims denied automatically and then you are SHIT out of luck. tired of people handing out super crap information without knowing shit. anyone with half a brain and has RMA'ed a gpu before knows that you CANT rma a gpu with a modified bios as they check it and will deny your claim, its in there fine print and its also stated before you submit the RMA form. its all there in black and white And you are a kind of people that didn't read before comment. Just look at to link that I gave to OP (bolded), scroll down a bit msg #33. Someone with bricked GPU (after modded of course) tried 1-8 jumper method and failed. Then RMA-ing it without issue. You call someone as dumbass easily. Please respect other. Or may I need to quoting here, so you can see that clearly: If you're certain it's bricked and next step is RMA, then try the paper clip trick. Scary, but worked on mine (flashed the wrong bios)...

1) Solder wire between pin 1-8 on BIOS chip(suggest that you check your BIOS chip datasheet in case its a different chip, you need to turn CS high(to positive/VCC) in order to disable BIOS);
2) Turn windows on;
3) When windows finished booting, clip of the wire(now the BIOS will be enabled, but GPU will not read content from it)
3) Flash the original bios;
4) Turn off system.
5) unsold.
Have you tried it? Is it worked? Someone in another forum has tried it and worked properly, and another one makes that troubled card smoky.  Maybe the smoky one doing something wrong on those step, bad soldering or whatever. |

I'm not sure.
First about ASIC price, ASIC price (whatever Algorithm) costly enough. And next winter, those ASIC may have too old for doing mining.
Second, How many ASIC you need?. One ASIC machine may can only heat small space and would be noisy.

What would e PERFECT is if I could select a drop dow box by type of hashing ... then the coins were listed top to bottom in order of totl hash rates for the network ...
I want to try solo mining for a week for the hell of it and find a block on my own .. Yeah I know I won't get anything with a GTX970 - but it's a down week ... and I want to have fun
......
Seem you are a block-reward hunter, I know it, and I can feel it. Same as my feel when I was doing my first solo mining with Peercoin (PPC), a long time ago.
Of course, the thing that you are looking at first must be Network Hashrate. I also not yet find that kind of website that gives us new-born coins info with all those kind info needs. For now, stay on (ANN) thread would be better. And then how to knows the amount of Network Hashrate or Difficulty? Some block explorer may show it, or you may need to build a private mining pool at your local machine, some mining pool software would show that two info when you add that coin to that pool. |

I don't have the 2 bios switch, Pulse edition only have 1.
Ouw sorry, I don't have a pulse series. I thought that same as other RX. You have to disable GPU`s BIOS by soldering a wire between two pins on BIOS chip on card before starting machine, and when booted to Windows you have to enable it again, then you can flash orginal BIOS back again and turn off computer and remove soldered wire. Then start it again and it should be normal.
So you say: 1) Sold pin on BIOS chip; 2) Turn windows on (i've read Dos is better, should i use it?); 3) Flash the original bios; 4) Turn off system. 5) unsold. Am i right? If your card still on warranty, RMA would be better, if not you can be tried that method. Someone has tried on this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3077304.msg31852392#msg31852392 |

I am a fairly new miner. I have an RX580 and GTX 1080 in my computers for a total of 54.521 MH/s using PheonixMiner on Windows 10. I do not have the patience to wait days for a payout with ETH, so I mine UBIQ in a pool. Is this just a stupid decision, or do many people do this to receive coins quickly?
Reduce receiving coins time also one of profitability variable, cause profitability related to time, and also other things. So you are in the right direction, but the other problems is that coin itself, whether that coin has another variable that meets requirements of profitability? (nethash, diff, price and another thing that related to profitability). Do your own research to find most profitable coins. |

As long as your card appears in the device manager even as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, don't worry, your card still fine.
How you mod your card bios?
I suspecting you are using downloaded bios mod. Try to switch your bios to the stock mode using bios switching panel (located in upside near display port). Then try to boot your system, if your card appears on device manager, then update the driver.
Next, you can re-flashing you bios card through AtiFlash, but make sure using own bios mod.

From my past discussions on another thread, I found a few things about this kind of problems.
1.We have zero control which would be drawn first by card, PCIe bus or PCIe connector. It may be was done by card's power management and depends on brands (manufacturers).
2.One sata (rail) for riser power, sound fine but not safer enough, related to point one. So better to use molex or 6pins.
3.We also need to know our PSU technical data itself to decide power scheme. But with two cards only, not really needed.
_________________________________________________________________________
And about your other question.
"Also I found out that powering risers from same line as your GPU is good choice, is that correct?"
It may referring to dual-PSU or more uses. GPU and risers powered by the same PSU.

I have 6pcs RX580 8GB with a 1800Watt Power Supply but i warn you this Cards have a uncontrollable Energy consumption in OC Mode!
............................................................................... ..........
Your 1800 watt PS more than enough to handle your 6 X RX580. You need to explain more your conditions with more proper writing format. At this moment, I can only suspect it caused by your unnamed H81 board. Better to open a new post and follow this guide to explain your condition: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3191707.msg33080149#msg33080149 |

In order to mine btc or other sha-256 coins and if the hashrate could be similar to what I get from ethereum mining?
You can mine bitcoin using your GPU, but you'll be got nothing, so don't do it! You can mine another SHA256 coin if that coin has total hashrate (Global Hashrate) let's say 100 X your (4 x rx580 8gb) on SHA256 algorithm if you are pooled mining. And max 10 x your (4 x rx580 8gb) on SHA256 algorithm, if you are solo mining. But it's almost impossible to find SHA256-based coins like that. So forget it. |

If I must be choosing, better to use your computer to mine CPU-based coins directly, than doing those kinds of things.
Did you know how that kind of Chrome addon works is? Seem like you know nothing. It will use your computer resource (Processor) to mine some coin, and then you got candy from them. Soon your computer would be broke.
Soon Google would ban addon related to mining.

 Almost all of my rig fully AMD, but I have one rig with two cards only (1060). My AMD card was: R9: 290, 290x, 295X2, 390, 390X. RX: 470, 480, 580. All of my AMD rigs was mixed (R9+RX), I never have one rig with the same brand, series, type. Giving me a lot of issue at first, but now I can handle em.
