Hi,

PSU: 1200W Seasonic Prime Platinum
M/B: MSI Z170A SLI Plus
Processor: Pentium
6 GPUs: EVGA GTX 1070 Super Clocked (NVIDIA recommended 500W for the first GPU and add 170W for each addn'l GPU)
HDD: Sandisk 120GB SS
Other: 6 powered risers
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 10
Mining Software: Claymore

I am currently running 5/6 of my EVGA gtx 1070 Super Clocked until I can over clock it and underwatt each gpu (for some reason evga precision XOC doesn't install properly).   My computer overnight freezes and I cannot use it at all - the gpu fans are still spinning but not generating as much heat as when they are mining.  Do you have any recommendations on what might be causing the issue?  I set 16gb of virtual memory for the computer.

I want to disconnect this rig from my monitor and let it run by itself - but it keeps freezing and I don't know what to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your responses!

Hi Everyone,

I am new to mining and started to use claymore for mining ethereum.  I heard my PSU making weird electrical noises when I had all six GPUs running at once.  I called NVIDIA and they mentioned that the minimum PSU watt should be 1350 for six GPUs.  I have seen numerous videos online of people using 1200W PSUs with 6 or more GPUs (GTX 1070s included).  Am I overreacting or is there something that I am missing regarding these mining builds?  I haven't overclocked the motherboard yet or done anything of that sort - currently getting 155 MH/S with all 6 running.
