I'm pretty new to mining. I just assembled my first rig with the following specs:

  • AsRock H110 BTC+ Motherboard
  • Kingston 4GB DDR4 2133MHz
  • 8x AMD RX 470 4GB
  • 2x Corsair RMX Serie RM1000x
  • Windows 10
  • Claymore Miner v10.0
  • Crimson ReLive Edition Beta Drivers

Now I face the following problem: As long as I run the Claymore miner with up to 7 GPUs, everything works very smooth and I get 28MHz on every card. When I start the miner with an 8th card, the whole computer freezes after 1-5 hours. I believe to have witnessed a drop on GPU #7 hash rate before the freeze but I'm not 100% sure.

What I tried before:
  • Changed the cards / PCIE slots to make sure I don't have a corrupt card
  • Started two claymore miners having each work with 4 GPUs
  • Changed from (4 GPUS + motherboard) on one power supply and (4 GPUS) on the other power supply to (3 GPUS + motherboard) and (5 GPUS)
  • Reinstalled the drivers and used different versions (16 & 19)

Does anyone have the same problem and found a solution?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Windows is junk, have you tried linux yet?

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Just a suggestion: swap file size?
