It also could be the Bios mod you did on the cards. I would try the Polaris Bios Editor v1.6.2 'one click timing patch' on the original Bios. PBE automatically detects the memory type and v1.6.2 applies the bundled performance straps to the 1750 MHz and up timings. The current v1.6.6 adjusts the 1500 MHz and up timings, but the 1750 MHz straps are more stable for most cards.

OpenCL hangs are typically from too much overclock or undevolting. Try increasing the the power limit to -5% or lowering the memory to 1950 MHz on the GPU that is crashing.

The cards hash rate depends on what algorithm you are mining. 270 H/s on Equihash and 600 H/s on CryptoNight is too low for a RX 570. On Equihash I get ~310 H/s with a 1325 MHz core 1950 MHz memory overclock. On CryptoNight I get ~850 H/s. On Ethash you should get ~28 MH/s after a Bios mod.

It depends if you are running on 120V or 240V. A breaker is rated for a maximum 80% of the capacity for a continous load.

120 V x 20 A = 2400 W

2400 W x .8 = 1920 W maximum continous load.

ASRock H110 pro BTC+ is the current best mining motherboard for rig density IMO. Very easy to get going out of the box. Since the slots are so close, you do need to cover the back of the riser x1 connectors with electrical tape to prevent them shorting out on the USB connector of the one next to it. Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580's are the best cards in cost/hash for Ethash and are excellent dual mining cards that run cool. 30+ MH/s ETH + 850+ MH/s DCR @ 130-140 W dual mining after a simple Polaris Bios Editor 'one click timing patch' Bios mod.

I've got 4 rigs running on the ASRock H110 Pro platform. It's a solid board but agree electric tape between the PCI risers is necessary.

All 4 of my rigs run 8 GPU's. 3 rigs are running the 8x 1060 3GB cards which produces 18-24 a day on Nicehash and the 1 is running 8 x 1080 Cards and that's anywhere from 32-48 a day.

Best ROI would be the 8 x 1060 3GB cards in my opinion plus the power consumption / heat is much lower. You should be able to build one of these under $3600 bucks...

The 1060 is not as profitable as the RX 580 for Ethash. Even if you find one with Samsung memory, it's $2 per day on ETH or maybe $2.15 if you dual mine. The RX 580 is $3 per day dual mining. I also never use NiceHah to mine. I mine and hold and wait until it's the best time to sell, that way I get to keep the appreciation, so the $3 per day is really $6+ per day by the time I sell.

When dual mining, check the -dcri setting in the Claymore. Different secondary coins will have a different intensity value that needs to be set. You can adjust the value up or down manually with the "+/-" keys. Adjust it until the hash rate on the secondary coin increases without affecting the hash rate on ETH very much.

BitsBeTrippin has a multi-miner script that runs under Linux. It's intended to be able to switch coins/pools quickly, but you should be able to modify it for solo mining to your wallet instead of a pool as long as the miner supports solo mining.

The Bios on your card appears identical to the Bios on the Nitro+ RX 580 8GB non-SE card with Micron memory I have. Both have the same checksum. I use the PBE 'one click timing patch' and it works for all of my cards. If it's not working check:

1/. You are using the AMD Aug. 23 blockchain drivers or the latest Adrenaline drivers with compute mode enabled.
2/. You have set virtual memory in Windows to at least 16GB for a six card rig.
3/. Check your clock speeds with HwInfo or GPU-Z. For the card to take advantage of the Bios timings, you need to overclock the card. For an RX 580 I use 1200 MHz core clock with a 2075-2250 MHz memory overclock, depending on the card.
4/. When dual mining, check the -dcri setting in the Claymore. You can adjust the value up or down manually with the "+/-" keys. Adjust it until the hash rate on the secondary coin increases without affecting the hash rate on ETH very much.
831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: how will mere mortals get there hands on nvidia P104-100 or P106-100? on: December 29, 2017, 01:07:19 AM
just bought 15x Palit P104-100 (NEBP104117G2-1045D) cards from local reseller. $495 each.

For small batches doesn't worth the money also these cards come with limited warranty which is a big downside. For 560USD i can get 1070Ti 8Gb with 3 year warranty also the reseller price will be higher for the 1070Ti's. If the price was 450USD, will be more tempting. In general the video cards manufacturers try to milk the market more.
P104s have GDDR5X memory on board, they are faster than 1070Ti, and even plain 1070s cost more than $500 around here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2g40o3N93k

The GPU-Z window in the video shows the P104 has GDDR5 memory. If it is faster, it's NOT because of GDDR5X memory. The 1080 has GDDR5X memory and it can't even reach 25 MH/s on ETH.
832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX 580 Nitro+ Special Edition (SE) mining help on: December 28, 2017, 09:16:21 PM
The latest AMD Adreniline drivers are the ones you want to use with Windows v1709. The compute toggle is is under AMD settings. You need to set it under each card and reboot for it to take effect.

https://youtu.be/xKlXDHdCtqM?t=12684

The lastest Polaris Bios Editor v1.6.6 'one click timing patch' worked very well for the latest Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ RX 580 8GB card that came with Micron memory. It's been running very stable.

go plug 14 amd on mining cards in the board.

IT DOESNT POST

go plug 14 nvidia non mining cards into the board.

IT DOESNT POST

whats so hard to understand? the board is flawed, and asus said they will fix this issue in a bios update q4 december 2017... this has nothing to do with amd or nvidia drivers. YOU CANT EVEN LOAD INTO THE OS.



This board was gimped by design in REQUIRING Nvidia P106 mining cards for over 13 cards. Asus should have made clear the requirements instead of posting ambigous charts that left it up to interpretation. The fact that the board can boot and mine with 13 AMD cards as long as you run P106 mining cards as well shows that the limitation is by design with a a Bios check for the mining cards on POST. Something that should be EASY for Asus to remove or give an option to bypass if they chose to do it. In other words don't hold your breath waiting on Asus.

All Blockchain distributed public ledger systems based on POW have a limitation from being designed to slow the network so that consensus can be reached and they don't collapse under their own weight. Side chain implementations like the Lightning network for BTC and Raiden for ETH may help with the scaling, but in the longer term there are other distributed ledger technologies like Swirlds HashGraph that are built to be faster and much more scalable by design.

I think you need to initialize the ROCm OpenCL stack in terminal after installing the AMDGPU-PRO driver.

Many new coins can be solo mined mined at launch when the diff is low. It can be very profitable depending on if the coin eventually gets listed on an exchange and continues development. e.g back in 2014 I solo mined EMC2 at launch and was able to find over 10 blocks using a single HD 7850 before the diff ran up. The coins I mined are now worth $10,000, too bad I sold them when EMC2 had a pump back in June  Embarrassed

839  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: mining rig AMD RX 470 vs NVIDIA 1070 on: December 26, 2017, 06:27:43 PM
It really depends on what you are planning to mine. If it's mainly CryptoNight/Ethash coins, the clear choice are the RX 570 4GB cards. It it's Equihash/Lyra2RE, then the GTX 1070 is the better choice. If you're not sure, an option is to go with half of each or 4 RX 570 and 3 GTX 1070. That would give you the most flexibility or with a single type of card, then the GTX 1070's would give you the most versatility and performance across more algorithms as well.
840  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best Clock Setting for Radeon 570 on: December 26, 2017, 04:25:42 PM
It depends on the card, not all cards can handle the same overclock. It also depends on the algorithm, some like Ethash and CryptoNight do better with a higher memory clock and others like Equihash are more dependent on the core clock. For memory dependent algorithms, the goal is to lower the core clock to where the hash rate doesn't drop significantly and increase the memory speed to where the hash rate increases without producing memory errors or too many invalid shares. A good program to check for memory errors is HWInfo. For my RX 570 4GB cards dual mining ETH+DCR, I use a 1200 MHz core clock and between 1950-2075 MHz memory clock depending on the card.
