you can try installing windows 10 1709 and force disable all the updates and try again
claymore miner does allow configuring fan speeds within the bat file
Claymore and windows both won't give any control over the GPU's.
Hello,
Suddenly both miners won't respond to the fan settings in MSI afterburner. When I set them to 100%, the stats show that the fans are running on 100%. But when I check in reality the fans are just running on "auto" speed, and sometimes resulting in too low speeds for the temperature, causing the miner to crash.
It happend to both machines after a windows update I think.
Now I installed HiveOS on one machine, Linux based OS for mining. But I can't select the fan speed either with this OS. Same problems keeps happening, does anyone have some idea's how to solve this?
GPU's are R9 390(x) cards. 2x6 in a rig. Mayby HiveOS, doesn't support this functionality for the R9 series, I read something about it on their forums (Mostly R9 200 series).
Basically if nothing else works then just update the fan profile in your BIOS for your 390x GPU.
If your 390 is anything like my R9 290, you can use the Hawaii bios editor and just configure your fan curve.
Been a while since I did it but there are 3 parameters you need to change, took a while to find a decent setup but now I don't have to worry about any software like MSI messing my fan speeds.
You can configure it so it runs at a certain temp like 80C and it will keep it in that area while adjusting the fan speeds. If you set it manually then it will be higher or lower depending on your ambient temperature.
Just google "Hawaii Bios Editor".
Good idea, I've done that before. It's pretty easy. But for the R9 cards, it wouldn't give any real profit.
The RX cards has more potential in terms of performance.
Right now I've tried SimpleOS and HiveOS. SimpleOS gives me back my fan control. HiveOS has the same problems as windows.
I could install a Xubuntu version myself, but SimpleOS and HiveOS are working very easy and fine.
