1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X OC Hashrate? on: March 08, 2014, 09:16:51 PM
Hello miners,

I will appreciate if you support me on an issue I am currently experiencing with my RIG.
I will start from scratch trying to simply explain my pain. Thank you in advance for your time! :-)

RIG Specs:

MB  Asrock H81 ProBtc
GPU 4x Saphire 290 Tri-X OC
PSU 1x Corsair i1200ax Platinum
CPU Pentium
RAM 2x2GB 1333mhz

3 GPU's are on risers PCIx1 --> PCIx16
The system is assembled and starting with SMOS BAMT from USB stick. It is working with SMOS config suggested from their site for about 11-36 hours when it suddenly freeze with black screen, no SSH and no web dashboard. The only solution is physically powering off the RIG. I also observe that it wont start mine successfully after reboot with the overclocked cgminer.conf and I have to load a default one from backup to reboot and afterwards to update the overclocked config for another 11-36 hours of successful mining.

Code:
{
"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "1CQRt6cwJxdcFN2EAp3JLE1SgBHJbqXYkm",
                "pass" : "123"
        },
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "1CQRt6cwJxdcFN2EAp3JLE1SgBHJbqXYkm",
                "pass" : "123"
        },
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://amsterdam.middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "1CQRt6cwJxdcFN2EAp3JLE1SgBHJbqXYkm",
                "pass" : "123"
        },
        {

                "user" : "1CQRt6cwJxdcFN2EAp3JLE1SgBHJbqXYkm",
                "pass" : "123"
        }

}


So far I have done some investigation and I have the following results:

1) Assuming power consumption issue - I have started the RIG with 3 GPU's where I have the same result. The system works perfectly fine for ~11h and then freeze.
2) Assuming overclocking issue - I have left the RIG with 3/4 GPU's with default cgminer config - the very same result.
3) I have tested also the MEM and can confirm it is fine.
4) GPU temps are 62-69 C with fan's rpm between 55-85%

5)From the logs I can observe the following error:

I have potted that one of the hangs was with GPU 0 DEAD/SICK - How could I confirm on which slot is GPU 0 installed ?
Could you please advice on what should I focus my self to investigate any further the RIG issue ?

Really appreciate your help!
