great

As it's a fresh install I can't roll back.

Thanks, will try that in the weekend with a fresh install.

I did try Adrenalin as well. was not working neither. I did not put it to compute mode, but I assume that that is just to boost the hash rate. I will try again in the weekend. Now I don't have time for it

Probably a stupid question, but How do I install it without the April Release? I do seem to find it on the internet, nor do I find a setting during the installation.

Thanks,

I will try that. I just tried to do it all over again.

Before removing the drivers it was at least finding 3 of my GPUS (RX580), and they were mining at a whopping 17MH/s  .

I uninstall and install again and still the same thing. So there must definitly be something wrong with the the drivers or like you say the windows upgrade.

Will try it now again.

Hi All,

I had my Ethereum miner up and running for more or less a year now, with goo and stable Hash rates. Now I had to restart and Windows was broken. So I had no other option than to reinstall it all. I followed exactly the same step as I did before, but for some reason when I open claymore miner it does not come further than:
 ETH: 1 Pool is specified
 Main Ethereum poo is eu1.ehtermine.org:4444
 DCR: 0 pool is specified.

When I wait for a while the following message comes up:

- Miner cannot initialize for 5 minutes, need to restart miner!
Restarting OK, exit ....

And it starts again.

I have followed I think all the correct steps:
1) Installed Windows 10 - 64 Bit
2) General settings (Assign virtual memory, password settings, Prevent automatic updates
3) Download the last Blockchain drivers from AMD 64 Bit - https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-Blockchain-Compute-Release-Notes.aspx
4) Remove the AMD drivers with DDU (in Safe mode)
5) Install the new AMD Blcokchain drivers
6) Download Claymore miner v11.8
7) Change bat file and test

I Have tried:
1) Different versions of Claymore
2) Different times to re install and install the drivers
3) The GPU's show up pin my AMD software - and in device management
4) Speecy test say they work fine

However
1) The fans are not running
2) possmark performance test does not find the GPU's

Anybody an idea an what to do? Is restarting xith a frech windows install the only option? If so what are the steps to pay attention to, to make sure it will work good the next time.

I see it's a Dutch site and you can find cheaper parts in the Netherlands

A 400 wat power supply will only be able to feed 1 high end GPU (around 170 a card). + you need to add the MB and other. And You should always have like 10 to 15% REserve on your power.

So I would advice you to buy a platinum power supply of higher wattage if you really want to build a good rig.

You don't need to put everything into a new rig. You can start with 3 cards alone and buy some coins.

I get 32mH/s with hynix, Undervolted to 800 memory 2250. quite happy about them.

Like mining is a full time job if you have a few miners. You set it up and it runs. So you can perfectly work normally next to having a couple of rigs. And buy coins that you are not mining.

and not all is about money, you can have fun looking some new things up and learn about new interesting things.

with money off course

I had the issue as well that my cards gave 17 hash. My isseu was that I the driver I ahd installed had a bug.

de-install your driver with DDU and install the latest blockchain driver. Now my cards are running at 32 mh/s

You can mine more coins with them, e.g Monereo, ZEC, ETC, you can dual mine as well (with Decred, Sia coin, Verge, ...) and so on. The Hashrate of a RX580 is around 30 to 32mH/s for ETH depending on the brand and the memory. 530€ is a little expensive. Not sure which country you are from. I bought mine in the Netherlands for 300 to 350€. So you might do a trip there as it could save you some.

These are good GPU's. Mine run very stable (32mH/s for ETH). They do use quite some power. So depending on the power cost you might go for an 570. Not sure what their hashrate is.

some coins that you can mine by CPU are:
- Aeon
- IntenseCoin
- Electroneum
- Fantom coin

But don't get your hopes to high, as you will not get rich of it, nor make big profit

Ethereum mining is still profitable at the current prices.

I bought mine in begin of January at 300 €
