I guess I did have my cards undervolted when I went to undervolt them again yesterday they were already set. They were set to -12 in afterburner.
Tried it on a cheap old MB again and same thing happened, a puff of smoke from the front part of gpu and computer immediately shuts off. Guess it happens just weird I haven't read about it happening to anyone else yet.
You guys think it was the cards fault right? Should I change my breakoutboard or server power supply? HP commonslot 1200 watt powersupply with gekkoscience bb. Had a 7 card rig going with 4 470s, 1 370, 1 380, and a 1070.
I think I'll start the RMA process this weekend.

Greetings to all fellow miners, I've been running my rig steady for about two weeks and everything seems to work fine. What bothers me is that today i felt a strange smell coming somewhere from the motherboard/psu. I cannot describe it as a burning smell, something more like the smell from new hardware being burnt in (if i can say it like that) The rig is still working fine but i am not sure will it work in the future. I'll put a screenshot here where you can see the power consumption and clocks. The rig consist of 1 x ref Sapphire 480 8GB (flashed bios with low power consumption.rom), 2x rx 470 MSI 8GB with and 3x Rx 470 Sapphire Strix also 8GB. The 470's all are bios edited with 1500 and up strap copying, undervoltet with STRIX to -120mV, and clocks set to 1.100 and 1.750 memory clock for MSI (stock is 1.650) and 2000 (stock) for Sapphire. Mobo is AsRock BTC pro, PSU is Corsair RM 1000i. Every card is connected to the mobo with power risers. As i said it works steady for two weeks, and i am getting around 160 MHS, with power usage from the wattmeter around 830-860W, and Corsair Link 900-920W. https://postimg.org/image/3qa3juktb/I'll kindly ask some more experienced miners to take a look at the screenshot and check if everything is ok or should i change something. Thanks Regards, If your parts are new then its normal. Probably some flux being burnt off. If something actually burn your rig would shut off or at least that GPU would crash. Ok, that's what i initially thought. Thanks for your reply. I guess I did have my cards undervolted when I went to undervolt them again yesterday they were already set. They were set to -12 in afterburner.

I think it's something with your PSU, but i am not sure. Did you tried testing your rig with another one? Few weeks ago i wanted to test my new PSU using my daily computer, but i ended up burning my HDD. Problem was that i used SATA power cable from another PSU, because i didn't know that cables from different PSU's aren't same. Luckily, nothing else died and my HDD was exchanged in RMA process. Good luck

Its a HP DPS1200 (1000W@120V, 1200W@240V) PSU. (It's not the platinum one). But its still running fine on all the other cards.
Maybe i'll buy a new one just to be sure.

I have achieved 25.5Mhs @ 57Watts on the MSI RX 470 4Gb. Is there another low wattage solution that has a higher Mhs for the MSI RX 470 4Gb?

I'm now at 22 MH/s at everything stock on Sapphire RX 470 4Gb (got the cards that afternoon so not really used to it for now).

What voltage was your PSU running at? I think those have adjustable voltages. Measure with a meter.

I bought a few more of these RX cards and since I exceed more than 4 GPUs in Windows 7, I had to use that 7GPU Mod Registry hack, however it doesn't seem to work with the newest drivers 16.9.2
It worked perfectly fine running 6 - R9 280X on version 15.7.
The cards are recognized in Windows Drivers however, I can't get more than 5 GPUs to run in one system. Whats everyone been doing?

Only 4 Cards were 470, 1 370, 1 380, and a 1070. The 370 and 380 were hooked up to a EVGA 750 and the rest the HP 1200 Watt Power Supply (Note: this is only 900 Watt becuase of 120V input).

Does anyone using Rx470 strix cards? I need some help to get lower power comsuption on my rig. I have 5 Asus Strix rx470 4gb cards and when I tested every single card, every card worked fine with settings: 1100/1850 and -40mV (26 mhs). But when I put all 5 gpus in rig and start mining cards demand valtage at least + 54mV. Gpus temperatures are also high because of this problem. I using 1500 memory straps and MSI AB for overclocking. If anyone have Idea how to decrease power comsuption on my Asus gpus please let me know.

You need a patch to recognise the sixth card. Try win 10. Win 10 could be check all.

I have mine at 1130/1945 and the cards hates being undervolted. I mean hates it Crashes all the time. Temp wise mine stays below 70c really easy I use cam for custom fan curve

Install Win 10. I was stuck at 5 cards, last one was Code 43 EDIT: with 16.9.2 and the last one 16.10.x

Thank you very much mate ! You changed my life ! For now, I'm at 30 MH/s at 110W. Do you have an Elpida memory or an Hynix one ?
If I remember correctly, you swore by the GTX 1070's a little while ago, does that make you a convert? Do you BELIEVE now?
