Hi, How to identify GPU 0, GPU 1, etc So if I get an error, for example GPU 3 I need to check RIG from left to right gpu? or reverse order? I have 6 cards! Sorry for the dumb question  Thank you! |

Some gpus temperatures bug out and spike above 120ºc. Claymore miner does its job and shuts down the gpu. Happened 3 times in the past week.
I recommend adding a time out before shutting down the gpu. If the reading is above your defined gpu max temp for 3 seconds then shutdown the gpu. This should eliminate the bugged readings gpus throw out sometimes

How to identify GPU 0, GPU 1, etc
So if I get an error, for example GPU 3 By process of elimination. Use "-di" option and watch on GPU load in some monitor. |

Yes! using -powlim 20 did the trick. Thank you very much Im experiencing some weird witchcraft with my 5 XFX R9 390: Whenever I set -mode 1 (no dual mining), they'll mine happily at 31.2 MH/s, Afterburner displays correct clocks of 1100/1500. But here's whats making me scratch my head, whenever I set -mode 0 (dual mining), my computer wont let my clocks go above 1000 reporting as little as ~950/1500 clocks, mining (of course) 15% slower than the previous -mode 1 config, why is that? Has this issue been reported before with these cards?
Equipment:
5 XFX R9 390
Asrock LGA 1150 H97
2 Rosewill 1000w PSUs
5 USB 3.0 powered risers
4 GB RAM
Intel G3220 CPU
On windows 10 64b.
15.12 AMD drivers.
dannygroove, start lowering the core voltage and change the memory to 1125 or 1250. It sounds counter intuitive but it works. Some of my 390s have to run at -44mv when dual mining. On some cards you may have to lower the core but slightly increase the power limit to 5%. I'm not sure why this happens but the theory we came up with in the ether forums was that the vrm was getting too hot. Give it a shot.

You need to set the power limit in the MSI Afterburner to be 20% or higher. That is due to the power throttling. |

I might try setting the slots to gen 1, but the cards are detected. The problem is that I cannot change the overclock/voltage/fan settings, and I think hashrate is slightly lower as well. I see a lot of 6 card rigs using just x1 risers that have the DVI cap off with no dummy plug on ( just the maincard ). Can you even plug a monitor into the main card with a x1 riser??. Has the main card been on the board to set the rig up and install teamviewer etc, but then put on a riser after? I still don't understand how hashrate would be at the normal levels. I think clock speeds and voltage would be reset as well.
My PCI slots were factory set to "Auto" instead of Gen 1. Yet, all 6 were still detected. However, the rig would mine for a few minutes with all 6 then stop hashing. I would not be surprised if this could be why you are having issues. Had to set the CPU to x8/x4/x4 as well. Yes, all of my GPU's are using x1 risers. I can use my monitor with HDMI and DVI-D cords with no issues. I have never had to install a GPU straight on the mobo to set up a rig. Good info. may be why I could get the 16x - 8x slots working but not the 1x. Would be nice to fill the rig beyond 4 cards. Thanks.. will give it a try. |

with that limit it's pointless to even consider them for mining, unless you want to create multiple account, but the shipping would be a problem |

The rx480 went up quite a bit on ebay. I agree tho not for those with a farm.> but if you looking for one.. or like me just a test for if/when i do bulk purchase later. Best Regards d57heinz |

Id would imagine so if that is the only thing you are running off the psu. I have multiple 390x from xfx and sapphire. They are under 300 watts each if you dont tweak ie undervolt them so id say your safe as you would be using less than 80 % psu. Best Regards d57heinz |

I ordered a sapphire 470 4gb and a 470 8gb. One of each. I think they are expensive and ROI on them is a bit longer than usual. BUT I wanted to test them out for myself. If I would listen to logic I would only have 390s. Heck i'm even tempted to make a nvidia rig right now, claymore is working on that. I'll let you guys know what the results are if I get them next week with all my other stuff, and thats a big if - i leave for vacation after.

guys, what is the average fluctuation with claymore miner? When I'm checking with ethman I see about a 5-10% drop for a few seconds lets say every minute or two, but sometimes (maybe every 5minutes) there is a 20-25% drop for a few seconds. Is this normal ? Is it caused by too many fast new blocks or its something to do with gpu/power ?

I think that's related with Dev fee. |

It also may indicate a throttling. Do you check the temperature of GPUs? |

you know there is no fix for 15.12 drivers for rx 480 pcie power draw.if you use this miner with rx 480 how do you solve the problem ?
