I am having trouble getting my rx 480 rig to work for anything. I have tried multiple crimson drivers (I still suspect a driver problem) but I always get the same result. Claymore's miner crashes as soon as it would normally start hashing, and this is true for both this dual miner and Claymore's ZEC miner. Ethminer will run, but shows zero hashes (this is true for multiple versions of ethminer). I have tried removing and reinstalling 5 different crimson driver versions and it all seems to succeed successfully but I am still getting these same results every time. This PC was running catalyst 15.21 originally with r9 290's and I suspect some artifact from those drivers is sticking around. Before I proceed with an OS reinstall I wonder if anyone has suggestions. I have used DDU between crimson driver versions (although not in safe mode just yet). I am working remotely so can't do DDU in safe mode but I will be going onsite today to try that as my last resort before an OS reinstall. Anyone have a suggestion? (Win 7 x64 if it matters).
It can be a problem with the power supply unit. Try to replace the power supply unit with another. I had a similar problem which was solved after replacement of the power supply unit. Before start of a mining the rig worked normally. When a miner program began to work, failures began at once. |

I suppose there are three cards in your rig, plugging in just one card to be sure PSU is ok would be a great idea before you start messing around with OS, when you get to that place you should try that first I think. If it's a driver stuff then reinstalling OS will fix it. |

I know that one dummy per rig and that's the strange thing, rigs were are 3x RX480 cards don't behave like that, rigs were are 6x RX480 cards randomly do this not all and not every time. Like if I restart rig were no monitor is plugged and it auto starts the miner in remote manager and even after connecting to RDP shows only one card stats, if I restart it second time it will work. For now two out of 13 6x RX480 rigs ar showing only one card stats. Actually I didn't mind it showing me less info, I just want to be secure in case of some card loses it's fan or any other reason overheats it, I just need the command -tstop to work. So the question will be if the miner sees the one card stats only will the command -tstop make other overheated card to stop ?
I have a friend who's rig behaves exactly the way you're describing and his hardware is identical to mine. |

to Claymore:
Bug in EthMan 2.5 - "View miner console" command doesn't work at the first line of the list of miners.
Also, please add style element "font-family: monospace;" to tag "<body>" in web-browser console.
1. Confirmed, I uploaded updated EthMan.exe to Dual-miner folder on MEGA. 2. It seems font-family: monospace; does not work in <body> tag, did not check it deeply though. |

tstop won't work as the driver ins't giving any monitoring data to the miner I tried everything in the registry (disablling ulps), or various adapters, nothing worked except a real monitor (even off) or a dummy plug. As soon as that was plugged, monitoring was back and I was able to access wattman settings |

2. It seems font-family: monospace; does not work in <body> tag, did not check it deeply though.
1) <body bgcolor="#808080" style="font-family: monospace;"> or 2) before <body> tag add: <style rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> body { font-family: monospace; } </style> |

Buying two or three won't make any difference Well, spending $12 on $750 rigs doesn't seem unreasonnable. As it allows you to undervolt and to avoid 30% on your energy bill ...

Testing part is pretty straightforward : works like if a monitor was plugged I know that it seems expensive, that's what I though at first. Calculations been made, they where paid in less than a day ... |

If it's a driver stuff then reinstalling OS will fix it. I have 2 GPU's. I don't think it is a PSU issue, the PSU is way overpowered for this and it worked fine with the R9 290's which theoretically should draw more power than the 480's. I am going to try it with just one GPU when I get there in a little while. I will also try adding some system RAM. It only has 2GB, I have slots and dimms to bring it up to 8 so I will do that. |

IIRC you don't have enough ram for the rx4x0, they need more than the previous amd cards (even if they don't use it ... go figure) |

Readme or OP, section "KNOWN ISSUES":
- AMD cards: GPU indexes in temperature control sometimes don't match GPU indexes in mining. Miner has to enumerate GPUs via OpenCL API to execute OpenCL code, and also it has to enumerate GPUs via ADL API to manage temperature/clock.
And order of GPUs in these lists can be different. There is no way to fix GPUs order automatically, thanks to AMD devs.
But you can do it manually. For example, if you have two cards, you can change their order by adding "-di 10". Another example, reverse order for six cards: "-di 543210".
Also you can do it automatically (experimental feature) with "-di detect" option.
PS. You can try to ask AMD devs somehow why their OpenCL implementation enumerates GPUs in such strange way. I'd like to know it too.
