I've set delays at 150 - so I wont lose as much shares from switching every 30 sec ( sometimes, especially on skein 2-3 cards starts hashing right away, then last 2 after 45sec).
Are you OCd your cards? Maybe they are crashing because of too high OC on some algos (that's why I mine only skein and nist5 - they can be used with exactly same OC - also blake2s/lyra/skunk).
Also check Your PL - with some algos (like blake2s) your cards goes WoooooF throu their PL ranging from 10% to 100+% PL (depending on algo which is calculated at the moment). I've let my Zotac Amp Extreme bench with other cards on 100% - aircraf was starting from my PSU
For remote controling I strongly advise Google Chrome Remote Desktop. One of few apps that let me reboot my rig and then access without problems You stated. Also You can use it from any device and it's completly free.
If You have any questions feel free to drop me PM, I'll answer all if I can
Thanks for answering, Leass. Much appreciated. I think I'll keep it in the thread for now as it might benefit others.
Re. delays: are we talking interval here? I set mine at 600 seconds actually.
Re. OC: yes, I'm running an oc indeed, but I've set it relatively low just because of the different handling per algo indeed. I might have to go even more conservative I guess, as I realise it could potentially be a cause for the crashing. Are you saying blake2s, lyra and Skunk should work with one OC setting and Skein/Nist5 with another? Which combo does need throttling more?
Re. PowerLimit: my 1080's are set at 80%. Keeps power draw in check but still allows for some o/c.
Re. Remote desktop: noted, thx. I like Teamviewer, can access the rig(s) with my Lumia 950 (yes, it has a Windows 10 mobile app!). I fear however that when one of those proper crash happens, the only thing I can do is a hard reboot by switching off the WiFi plug (and yes, there's a Win10 mobile app for that too!)
Yup by delays I mean intervals, 120-150sec works for me, but it depends on try (as I wrote before sometimes X cards starts hashing after Y time).
As for OC from my experience those algorithms (skein, nist, Lyra, skunk, blake2s) could use same OC settings (for me on Gaming X it's 152cc,-502mc, for other brands it differs, Zotac Amp Extreme Core has core clock + ~100 already on stock).
For me TV was crashing/lagging rig when connecting. Don't have same issues with Chrome Desktop.
Now the biggest problem for me is defreezing my rig remotely (need to buy watchdog for it), because it's located 500 km away and I really like messing around with it
Today my parents finally brought it up after messing at Friday with xevan miner
