My second ZEC + XMR+ ETH thread builds info links thoughts and photos.

kinda off topic for a second




those back to back uncles!!!

which is why I mine with them.  I love the uncles.

How about uncle followed by a mega block For some reason Ethpool posts megablocks twice but pay once.

I'm f*cking pissed off.

1. installed Win 10
2. installed driver 16.9.2
3. updated the chipset drivers for the MOBO
4. Added the Env variable and the 16 gig of hard drive of virtual drive

Now GPU hang and Win 10 just freaking crash. (something it's one card, 2 or 3 ...)

I mined all night with 5 cards on win 7. It's not a freaking hardware issue, i'm pretty sure.

Are these cards stock or overclocked?
Also is the card hanging up the primary display?

I used the onboard card and everything is stock.

Do one card at a time. If it works then add a second one... then third one

If everything fails, reinstall OS. I had to do the same after taking out a Nano and replace it with a 470. Blank screen after startup, reinstalling OS solved the issue.

5 of 6 is now working ... looks like it's the trick !

the last one just broke everything again ... will flip the riser spot to check that

EDIT: probably the MOBO ... looks like to be the same behavior that i have with win 7 ...
EDIT2: it's not the slot with 5 cards .. it was fine with the last slot .. so i'm pissed off.
EDIT3: What bios version are you guy using with the H81 BTC PRO ?

[MarkAz]

What bios version are you guy using with the H81 BTC PRO ?

I run the latest on them all - v2.30.

[HerbPean]

What bios version are you guy using with the H81 BTC PRO ?

I run the latest on them all - v2.30.

Updated the bios, Had to plud the HMDI into one of the card, the onboard setting has been reset i guess but PC doesn't boot anyone.

I had a warning to plug a molex for the EFI (something like that) I did plug both molex jsut to be sure.

Black screen of the death !

I think i'm going for at least 2 beer when this is going to work

So, after the bios update i managed to get on track... started Claymore Boom all 6 cards was hashing but now the process crash, unable to write to the buffer of GPU 1 and 0 ...

Opened my beer a bit too quickly !

EDIT: Also Watchdog error ... restarting the mining process. Ho well ...

I use the On Board HDMI for windows.

Everything is stock. Today was suppose to be the day for overclocking

EDIT: I managed to got them all mining one time otherwise it looks like to be random with 0 MH on 2-3 cards each time I start the process.
EDIT: someone time Win 10 crash with the Video TDR  fault .. blue screen of death. Now the mining process just crash. It's a fucking nightmare
EDIT: I'm gonna try to use a card instead of the onboard but i'm sure it's not the issue. The very strange behavior is when it crashes, my main Monitor just start flaking (like a Resolution test) like the OS is re-install the driver over and over
EDIT: And Windows is telling me that an application has been block from using the graphics hardware

I've had systems with all sorts of faults as well.  Drove me nuts and in the end I swapped out the power supply and it's been stable ever since.  *knocks on wood*

I could try a different setup with my psu. i will use two rm1000.

my 5 cards is running good since 2 hours

The RM1000's are quality boards... What you might consider is removing a couple cards and running just off the one RM1000 first, verify it's working, then swap PSU's and verify again - this way you can tell if one of them is having issues, or if the issue is something related to running them together.

Personally I run all mine off of single server PSU's (the DPS-2000BB), much cheaper AND higher quality, pretty hard to beat.

Oh, and if you're using risers, you don't need to worry about that molex warning, it's just seeing that cards are connected and not that they're actually being powered by the risers.

How do you power your mobo ?

[MarkAz]

How do you power your mobo ?

I use one of these:

http://amzn.to/2e5ibAU

Can't beat it - since the CPU/MB/SSD never draws more than probably 80w, it's a great solution and gets everything powered off of one 12v supply (from the DPS).  I suspect most of the negative reviews are just people who have no clue - I've ordered probably 50 of them so far, and never had one be defective - but I could just be lucky.

[HerbPean]

Alright, I got 6 full cards hashing at stock at the moment. (not for a long time, last time it took 10 mins to crash)

After uninstalling and reinstall amd driver a lots, I downloaded their cleanup utility. I manually removed all rx470 from the device manager with driver's delete option. Launched the cleanup and rebooted, launched the clean again and rebooted. Downloaded the latest driver, I always used 16.9.2, installed the 16.10.1 drivers. Rebooted.

I'm going to bed, but it looks good !

Thanks to everyone for all the inputs.

Hoping I can OC them a bit tomorrow

EDIT: And GPU hangs in OpenCL call, exit... It tried to restart but it's not working

I get those from time to time too. Mostly now when. I updated to claymore 7.0 and above
Not saying it is calymore but I see it more with 7.0 or newer

What do you use for the 8 CPU connector (I think it cannot be replace only by the molex connector ?)

EDIT: 3 hours full speed at the moment. finger crossed !

I make 1 more setting change for my MSI RX 470 Gaming X:

Start WattTool - Set Voltage offset to "-15" and click set for each card.  This will decrease your overall watts TREMENDOUSLY; therefore, reduce cost!  This will make you smile.
