hey guys,
i have 4 rx 480 nitro+ 8giga sapphire cards with each card an old power supply 300Watt.
i use the 1500 Straps and get average 3000 h/s with 510Watt from the wall.
i am using claymore miner with following settings : -p x -a 4 -tt 70 -cclock 1160 -mclock 1930 -cvddc 917 -mvddc 917
My problem now is that the miner only runs for a couple of hours , then the computer just reboots and restarts miner.
after a few restarts nothing works anymore. then i need to pull the plug and put it back in and it runs again.
has this something to do with my settings? or is it just the power supplies that can not handle it?
please advise

You have 4x one card systems? There can be many reasons for the instability. Maybe it's the miner, I recall having some difficulties using miner's settings cclock, mclock, cvddc 917 and mvddc. I went to use watttool instead and it proved more stable. Maybe it's your cards: you can try increasing core voltage a bit. |

I flashed to cards to 1750 straps and did not change anything else, miner settings I changed to standard. It does not run longer then 1 or 2 hours. I now have it running with only 1 card, and others disabled in the miner. Let's see if it runs longer. Maybe there is a problem with one of the PSU. What PSU are u using? And for how many cards? |

Like this I want to figure out if I have a bad PSU on 1 of the cards... |

Any nvidia support?
Claymore's cryptonight GPU miner is AMD only. The best Nvidia cryptonight miner I have been able to find is a version of CCminer. If you download the nicehash miner package, then let it download all it's miners, then look in it's "bin" folder you will find one called ccminer_cryptonight.exe. You will also need to copy all the cuda .dll files it needs and pthreadVC2.dll and put them all in a folder with the miner. my .bat file looks like this: ccminer_cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://asia1.monero.miningpoolhub.com:20580 -u *my username* -p *my password* With my gtx1070 using about half it's power (75watts) it does about 500h/s. I have read some people saying that you can get 700+ out of a 1070 but I don't know what miner they are using or if I need to add some flags I don't know about, but that's what I have managed. |
Crypto currency enthusiast and miner since 2015. Mined approx 200 ETH during 2016 and 2017 and sold it at approximately $US40 each. Then I watched it reach $1000+ each. If anyone bothers to read this stuff pay attention to this: HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL
I started mining with 1 AMD 7950 and 1 R9-280X. Then I gradually built my AMD operation into 12 R9-290s. Awesome ETH hash but ridiculous power consumption and heat. Over the last year I defected to the Nvidia team. I now use GTX 1070s. They were expensive to buy (probably a bargain now) but awesome hash rate vs. power consumption. blah blah blah blah

In fact if you own an nvidia GPU you'd be better off mining ZEC as Nvidia GPU perform well on Zcash algorithm so you will have a better profitability mining that coin. |

Hi there! Is there GNU/Linux version of the miner exists? If not, what would you recommend for GNU/Linux with RX480 cards?

As far as i know there is no up-to-date linux version of this Miner. For linux you can try sg-miner GM which should be more or less on par with Claymore. Another option is to mine Ethereum where you have quite a few miner with linux versions, including Claymore. |

just tested 3 cards separatly and they all mine perfect. When i want to run 2 cards together it crashes after some time ... so would this be something with PSU or with MOBO? its defenatly hardware related. i know i could easily fix it with buying a 6 pci motherboard ( asrock h81 pro btc ) and with a PSU of 1200 watts but i try to mine with hardware that i have available for free here at my home. so again , setup is 3 cards on 1 mobo and each card has its own 300 W PSU and the mobo has its own 300 w PSU. pci riser of each card is connected to the PSU from that card ...
please help
What cards are you trying to use? A 300W PSU is no good for mining and you said you are daisy chaining like 4 PSU? Why would you do that? Add2Psu is like £20 each and you have 4! Or are you doing some of your own wiring hacks? I would say undoubtedly a power issue, however, you didn't say what mobo. |

Could this be the mobo ? thats still an old shitty 4 pci mobo. i have flashed the 4 rx 480 cards to 1500 mem straps , and in claymore i have set the CPU to 1160mhz / 917 mv and the mem to 1930 mhz / 917 mv ... could this be causing windows crashing because of bugfix ? this bugfix issue is the last problem i need to fix to have a stable mining rig |
