Hello all!
I have a mining rig with the following components:
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z270-A LGA1151
Processor:INTEL G3900 3,3GHz BOX LGA1151
RAM: SODIMM DDR4 Intenso Value 4GB 2133MHz PC4-17000
SSD: TRANSCEND(TS64GSSD370S) 64GB SATA3 2,5" Bulk
2x Power supply: GIGABYTE B700H 700W ATX
6x GPU's: ASUS DUAL-GTX1070-O8G GeForce GTX 1070 8GB
6x PCI-E Express 1X to 16X graphics card Riser Card USB 3.0 Extender Cable with Power Supply

I mine with claymore pool on w10 - about 180+h/s
For now it is stable exept of 1 interuption per day with claymore it says that the program is shuting down 5/6 cards. So only 1 card mines with 30h/s and other 5 have 0h/s. If i close and open the miner again all works fine again.
Has someone some optimal settings in the msi afterburner for this tipe of rig? Currently i have power 100, core 100, memory 580 and fan 80.
-now i have a new problem it says: miner thread hangs, need to restart miner!

Thanks for the answers Wink

Currently i have power 100, core 100, memory 580 and fan 80.

I would try power to 75-80, core 100, memory 350, fan set to user defined automatic fan control and set the value higher for the different temperatures.

then see if it run stable and memory you might can go up to 500 in smaller steps

I have to disagree. Core clock does nothing but cause problems.

set your power to 100 for troubleshooting. Memory to +500. Fans to 100%

Increase your memory by 50 for every hour of stability you get.

add to the end of your bat file -r 0 so that it auto restarts cards when they die.

You can also try -r 60 and have it restart the miner automatically every hour.

Once you figure out where the issue is, increase -r to 120, 240, etc until you get the kinks worked out.

Video card failures are almost always due to shit psu, too much overclock or too much heat. The back plates on these 1070's get really hot if you do not supplement with a fan so think about using one of those. Almost all of my crashing stopped when i got those things dialed in.

My settings are 75 power, 0 clock, +650 memory and I'm hashing at 32MH per card. I have a portable fan running on each rig, though ill replace these when i rebuild the frames and put 120mm case fans in to get the heat away from the cards. At 70C on the cards, there was nothing but issues with 8 rigs. Now that I'm down to 50C with dialed in mem clocks, I have 14 reliable rigs that dump coins into my wallet all day.

Just want to drop a note that I have the same issue with Asus Dual GTX1070 OC. Other cards are perfectly fine. 75 power, +0 clock, +400 memory – hang once every 1-2 days.

Well, every card is a bit different.  I have 6x GTX 1070 Founder Editions in my rig, all of them with Micron memory.  4 run great with these settings:

Power: 65%
Temp: 65 C
Core: -100
Memory: + 920

#5 requires Power = 67% to get the same hash rate as the others.

The last one has the same settings as above, but is only stable with a +720 memory overclock.  If I go higher, it will eventually error out.

Just make sure you take advantage of Claymore's reboot feature when your rig has a GPU error, that way you don't have to worry about babysitting it.  This is the #1 reason I use Claymore instead of cheaper options.
