Yes this was 470/8gb

Hi everyone!

i am having some problems with my setup. The issue is that claymore is running fine until i stop it. i then get a gray or white screen and have to reset my pc.
i'm running 6 MSI RX470's on an ASUS Z270-P. The cards have modified vbios with straps 1625 copied up and also they have Micron memory chips (sadly). The cards are running at 1748Mhz memory and 1100Mhz GPU because anything higher than 1750 and the cards become unstable.

Any suggestions, ideas, solutions known?

thanks!

try with less aggressive timing like 1750

You people really need to stop worrying about the DAG slow downs. Most of the GPUs mining ETH are AMD RX series. So when the DAG slows down your GPU, it slows it down for everybody.

Nvidia account for a very small percentage of total ETH hashrate. The 290/390 were sold in smaller quantities than RX since they were more expensive and they consume more power so less people use them for mining.

And by the time the DAG is large enough to cause a significant speed reduction like 20MH/s, most likely by then we won't be mining ETH anymore. Either it will be extremely unprofitable, or POS will take over.

Card that has the monitor plugged in should be with 1650mhz ddr the others can be 1910mhz , this is how I deal with this issue , try it!

Just curious, has anyone tried both AMD and Nvidia in a single rig?

Anyone experience dev pool fee connection failing for past few hours ?

  A good word to the wise, do not buy a MSI  Z170 M5 if you wish to mine. I have tried win7 win10 and ubu1604 and none of them will install and run.
Not sure what the problem with it is but seems to be the old style of bios and it will not see win7 and win 10 may or may not boot. Then cards not show
up. Go Asus or something else your style.

Did you try upgrading the bios ?

I've been mining Eth only for about a month now and wanted to setup dual mining for ZEC, but i'm unsure of if I have to use the claymore-zec or can I dual mine it with just adding the appropriate settings into my claymore-eth folder?

I have been running a zcash miner along side of claymore now a bit and it does ok. Just watch the over clock speed for errors. That is on 1060 gtx cards with 6 gig ram. Works the card really hard and heats up so run fan high. Also you will see significant drop in hash power each. One has a sol > 1100 but drops back half when clay runs.

thanks seems to have trouble trying to boot up with 4 rx570 and 1 gtx1070 on my TB250 mobo

I don`t know about this board , but put cards one buy one and boot and install drivers , and if you in legacy mode try to setup windows in only uefi mode in the bios!

I have a gigabyte GA-Z170 Gaming K3 m/b running windows 10 64bit  with a powercolor  r 9 290 running Claymore 9.4 duel mining eth sia  well on it.
 i have ordered a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5 Memory PCI Express 3 card
other than the latest driver 382.53  will i need to install anything else to run it.
And would it be better to run the 2 cards on different instances.

Thanks in advance for any help

Got one asus r9 290
GPU temprerature increases up to 90 C and fan speed to 100%
Is that okay or i need something to do?

My bat:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 80
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 80
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 80

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal wallnumber -epsw x  -tt 84 -ttli 86 -r 30  -tstop 90 -ethi 6

You can try this.
At the same Mh you get less temp.

Had no failing rigs - until today. Sadly I now can confirm that EthMan still did not detect that the rig was up and running again ("View miner console" worked).
I started to use your logging debug version now and will inform you as soon as I have the error "recorded".

Did you try to reproduce the lock with sending the restart command to a read-only mamangement interface like I stated before?

@Claymore
 I Have some gtx 1070 rigs. If I use one of the gtx 1070 primary vga for windows System becomes too slow. But if I open intel gpu and make it primary vga for windows everything ok.
Ethman monitor can't detect the restarted rig and it can't connect if I don't close and reopen the ethman

I think I have found a bug. I identified it at v9.3 and I tried 9.5 to check if it has been fixed, but bug stays there. The problem is; I have two RX570 graphics cards. One is MSI and one is Sapphire. In MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z and CPUID Hwmonitor all values are same, I can recognize which RX570 is MSI and which is the sapphire according to GPU-Z basic info-sensors screens. and this values are appropriate with Miner at line which writes GPU temperatures with purple color. But the line which writes hashrates with cyan color is not true. GPU numbers are invers there. I have tested a few times to be sure, and I am sure now. It writes Sapphire's hashrate in cyan as GPU0 but writing sapphire's temperature as GPU1 in purple. and for MSI same nice versa.

Hard to read so big text to understand that the problem is already discribed in faq, try to put problem in first part of text.

look readme.txt you need to use -di detect or -di 10 command to change videocards order.  to switch temperatures order use -gmap 10 command

Yeah I got some logs and found the reason of the issue, I will post EthMan v3.3 within 1-2 days.
