Fresh install of Fall creators update.
Download/unpack AMD drivers.
Shut machine down.
Install 3x Vega cards
Remove network cable
Boot machine and install drivers with no network connection.
Reboot machine
Go into crimson, enable HBC max.
Reboot
Connect ethernet
Begin mining XMR, 3,500h/s for 3x Vega 56x

Grrrrrrr

you don't need HBC turned on and set your pagefile as high as possible.
On/off it does not make a difference. System memory is at 16GB and pagefile is at 70GB.

What is your hashrate with 2 vegas? Maybe the third vega is causing the issue.
Disabled HBC, restarted, running two miners, 2,000h/s

Code:
"gpu_threads_conf" : [
    { "index" : 1, "intensity" : 2016, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
    { "index" : 2, "intensity" : 2016, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
    { "index" : 1, "intensity" : 1600, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
    { "index" : 2, "intensity" : 1600, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },

Just to be sure... you have set your bios to UEFI, right?... What's your mobo btw? Have you updated the BIOS?

hey guys .
psu 1200 Watts enough For 6x V64 ?

You can count 150-180W per card depending on chip lottery (mining XMR).
1200W could be enough, but you are going to need so many 8 pin connectors.

nanopool works fine for me, but yeah im seeing about 2-3% discrepancy.  For people who dont have a lot of hash, maybe nicehash is a better option.  Last time I tried it though the cryptonight servers kept restarting/disconnecting though.
cast-xmr is running very smooth with nicehash on my Vegas. claymore and sgminer have a lot of orphans and disconnects (polaris and hawaii rigs)
Nicehash works, but its difficulty is too high. I have about 5% rejected shares. Sometimes pages of no shares are accepted, just new jobs. Given, over time it evens out, but still does not look nice.

Is the same with you ?

Does old good 23AUG blockchain driver work with Fall creator update?

Yes

What is the Aug 23 driver?  I keep installing 17.30 but in device manager it says that is 22.19.659 from 8/8/2017.

Want to build rig with two vegas and lowest possible costs, what MOBO can you recommend that will do the job?

thank you, man!

My take on this is, if you've never had any experience with setting up AMD hardware and aim at getting multiple Vega's set up for mining, you're up for a lot of pain, you masochistic person! Cheesy

well, actually I guess I will go much harder way, I'm gonna add two AMD VEGA56 to my rig with 6x 1080ti
please tell me, do I have a chance to make it work?
4x vega56 + 1080gtx + 1070gtx + 2x 1060gtx working fine at my abomination of a rig Cheesy

Just ordered myself one of these:

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/100-Brand-New-for-Onda-D1800-BTC-Mining-Machine-Mining-Motherboard-Support-6-cards-All-Solid/2673083_32829766277.html

At $132 with GPU included and no need for risers, it was too good to pass on!

I intend to slap 6x Vega 56 on it.

Can someone tell me how loud these buggers are? I need to think logistically now... Tongue

Very nice motherboard choice you picked right there. Talk about cost and power savings.
Did you ever get to order and use this? Interested to know how its working for you.
I'll tell you all about it... in a year or so, when I have managed to get all the Vega 56's I'm slapping on to hash at full speed... Tongue
id only do liquid cooled vegas on that board, the slots are too close

Sapphire RX Vega 56 sold by NewEgg.com on eBay w/free shipping:  $419

I have 2 such cards. They can't work normally with 950 MHz HBM overclock... Should I maybe rise HBM voltage?..

no wonder they are so cheap.  Huh
if stupidly overclock just by moving sliders in any overclocking app - then yes - they cant hit even 950 (artefact all over screen 100%). with undervolting reg mods it works 1100 very good.
