Anyone ever faced GPUs dying due to risers ?
Since a month, I had 3 GPUs died on two rigs. The two rigs are identicals.
I changed the PSUs and the GPU's after 2 death , and the only remaining parts were Mobos and risers.
And then the 3rd died.
So I think the risers could be the cause.
These are risers with PCI-e 6 pins power. (1 month old)
What is weird is everything is working perfectly, and some time I notice the rig is down, and after reboot I see one GPU not working (not recognised , no fan spin) ...
lower clocks you dual mine if I recall stop it on 1 rig and see if the risers last. the weird part of the story is that these 2 rigs are not dual mining. And the clocks are not very high.. 1100/1880 and -100mv (for rx470s 4gb) This is god settings, never got any trouble on others RIGs. Temps and fans are low. The last GPU that died was 1 day old ! There is something really strange with the 2 rigs.. I have to find it, as it is a very expensive trouble. |

<snipped> Rejects are also high I think -- is this normal? |

Guys any suggestions on how to get more efficiency out of this 1080TI 11gb on EWBF?  drop power setting to 67 not 93 power 67% core + 100 or stay at 130 ram + 300 or stay at 250 fan 75% you are are 72C because you have power at 93% this is the single worse setting you have |

This is likely a R.T.F.M. moment, but how do you get the power to be reported in the miner transcript?

Yes custom roms , tested and approved on many rigs since 6 months without any trouble except the two rigs. I don't think the rom is the cause. MB is H81 pro BTC for both, and all risers are powered by PCI-e 6 pins. (much better than SATA or Molex .... theorically ... as none of my GPUs ever died with the SATA and Molex ones ...) |

Questions about Stratum Proxy
1. I am currently running 35 GPUs on 5 machines. All dual mining at nicehash with claymore. Would I benefit from setting up a stratum proxy?
2. I have 2 L3+s, pointed at zpool and nicehash. Would I benefit from a stratum proxy?
I think the main benefit with the L3+s Proxy would being able to switch pools without using the web interface which resets the machines and is a pain.

I cracked too and sold 1 at 1770$ edit: the amount of money going out right now for sha256 renting at nicehash makes me wanna buy a btc miner lol |
As I see a super coin as the super highway and alt coins as taxis and trucks needed to move transactions. ~philipma1957

my guess is if you have a lot of amd a few nvidia should be okay. if you have a lot of nvidia a few rx 470/480 should be okay basically my guess is have a foot in both camps. |

That is the way it was looking, a moved my budget from 2k to 3k and thinking I might double my setup count. One AMD based possible with a mining OS as it has a fast ROI, and can do eth which I see is still holding strong. The other nvidia, half for good resale should that be needed and half to put more hash rate coins they accelerate at mining. |

I was all amd I shifted to mostly nvidia
making 50 bucks a day so every 14 days I pay off 1 1080ti
so far 3 1080 ti"s are paid for.
Not sure how long the roll will last but just 28 more days means 5 1080 ti's will be paid for.
