Maybe this is the wrong thread, but how do mining savvy folks mine ether/monero on Windows? As in mining software, mining pool, and monitoring?

My setup is claymore and nanopool and I'm considering installing TeamViewer for remote management. Maybe VNC or RDP over a VPN is better? What do you guys think?

I basically have to use windows when I mine ether as the blockchain workloads drivers reduce my power draw to something like 1600W over 12 RX 580s on two systems. Any more and the breaker would trip. Also that driver fixed the DAG issue so I can continue to mine at around 30Mh/s on ether.

Last, is it idiotic to use whattomine as a resource? I switched to zclassic this week, and had to play with clock speeds for stability. It took maybe 30 minutes to swap over, and by the time I checked again, ether was more profitable. I feel like it might be better to be more ideological and mine what you believe in, or alternatively to always mine one thing that's usually profitable and buy the coins you want to hold on to. 

I've had this issue with my latest batch of cards, MSI Armor 580 4Gs. The ones with Elpida memory I can copy the 2:1750 timing to 2:2000 and get 30+Mh/s with ethash. The same cards with Samsung memory I can't get past 26.5Mh/s. Have tried many different timing setups and nothing works. Oh well. I'll deal
