Topic: 4x5830 Rig - always 1 gpu idling after starting mining (Read 1388 times)
My 850watt psu might be the issue. downclocked from 1000 to 960 and all 4 cards are running stable now.
Okay, I got them all to work. It's not b/c of enough power. It's b/c they are placed so close to one another it's causing some kind of short. I have to put a plastic piece between the cards and all is working now.
if your psu isn't powerful enough you'd get crashes and/or power losses
so that can't be it if one gpu simply idles

I am using 1000W power supply. Is that enough to run 4x 5830s?
I am using a 1000watt psu for 4x 5830s fine but i have a another for the cooling system 8 fans.
It should be fine to say 300watts for the mobo and 200watts for each card but that is over kill with overvolting and overclocking
300watts(mobo) +200watts x4(5830s)=1100watts
to be 100 percent safe i would lean towards the 1200watt psu to power everything.
Did you fix the issue?
What systems are you using?
I just set up a rig with 4 x 5830 on Win 7, 64bit using guiMiner and one of the GPUs won't connect to the pool. If I stop a GPU, then I can connect the one that was not connecting. I am using 1000W power supply. Is that enough to run 4x 5830s?

overclock less, if not overclocked increase fan speed
After I fire up phoenix on my 4gpus, 1 gpu will always stop mining and idle while the other 3 work properly. The miner stops loading work while the other 3 miners continue load new work.
What is causing this and how can I fix it?
phoenix flags: worksize=256 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=6
