Morning,
alrady 6 out of 94 crashed, getting my self ready to get to the farm da seen whats wrong

You need to reduce the clock frequency for the crashed ones. That is what I did, they are working now, and hash more.
I'll try that as soon as get there, but monitoring would harb because most of them crashed after ~6 hrs of work.
What cards are you using and on what clock speed ?

seems like if x amount of cards submit a share at the same time, the power spike caused can make your psu protection kick in and shut off your rig.
What will be the sollution for that ? I also wonder why only on this last version, on v8 they were working fine

It's already been hinted at. As the mining software for Zcash nears its peak optimization the GPUs are being tasked harder and harder. At first with the initial Zcash releases the GPUs would spend very little time doing computations, that's why you could push them hard and they would still use very little power as it was like asking asking a math major to do a 2+2 calculation once every 10 minutes. Now as the optimizations roll in the GPUs are actually being taxed and the power requirements are increasing to meet this need, as well as they might start crashing when pushed to limits they previously could handle. Again asking a math major to calculate the circumference of the earth is straight-forward, but ask them to compute and sum the circumference of all the objects in the Milky-way and it gets a bit more challenging.

I use this:  CHIEFTEC A80 750W PSU.
One card consumes 120w.

Check not average, but MAX power spending
You will be surprised when you will see 250W

Just follow the main claymore thread and you will know why.

The same problem with one my rig - Asrock H61 BTC Pro MB and four Gigabyte R9 280X. PSU best quality Corsair AX860.
V8 no problem, V9 - Win crashed after aprox. 30-60min. Intensity -i 0
You will have spike far above the average consumption. Your psu is very good and have some limitation on max current available as a security. With the spikes and an highly optimized miner, you will probably go over the limitation and the psu stop.

You need to have a good margin on the psu side, like 30% above the average consumption to be OK. Good psu have some overhead margin too (like 10%): the whole combined should prevent any problems.

Look there : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-480-polaris-10,4616-9.html
During a gaming session you may have spikes at nearly 300W for a single card...

Sharing experiences. The system turns off after the run 15m. Remove Antivirus, and after the card overclocking closed window of afterburner. Launched miner and closed the window. After 15 minutes, there is a window of unknown origin, and immediately closes. Mining after there in the normal mode.

Not sure if it is psu CPU ram or voltage settings.

I am now making sure  all my rigs have the same cards no mix and match.

Most are working well. But some of my four card rigs now freeze.

If I pull the fourth card the rig works.

I,can get around this with three cards.

But tomorrow I will take my four,card msi rx 470 rigs and  play with voltage settings

V9 is simply a little bit harder on GPUs. You need to find which GPU(s) is crashing and increase it's voltage slightly, or decrease it's clock speed. I had to adjust about 10 card's voltages across my 100+ GPU farm to get V9 stable. V8 had been stable as a rock since it's release. Now V9 is too with slightly increased voltages.

try with -nofee 1 as your first command line argument.

it leaves out some optimizations that draw extra power and workload from the GPU.

you may well get to keep a higher intensity to make up for lack of features that crash your card anyways.

I just finished upgrade, only 2 rigs out of 94 freezed. I was doing it remotely so I have no idea what happened. I use -i 2 on all rigs, and on V8 both freezed rigs were working perfectly. Farm is 30 mins to drive ao I'll have to get there tomorrow, untill then I'm just guessing whats wrong..

same problem  on all my R9 280x rigs. All rigs freeze after some time in version 9.
GPU Asus, MSI, Gigabyte. MB Asrock H61 and H81 BTC Pro. Win10 Pro
In V8 all ok. All lowest intensity -i 0

Not to say they wont shut down but i have 9 rigs running mostly 380x with a few 290 and 390 scattered around and running (i Cool on windows 10 and latest drivers with no issues as of yet. 380x cards are tuned to 850/1500 -50v running @ 166 sol/s and seem to be fine. 290 and 390 are stock. I run Lepa 1600w power supplies on all my rigs. A bit more expensive but shouldn't ever need more power.

Try to mine on 2-3 cards as a test. Perhaps it's PSU, if you see that GPU takes 120W, it takes it in average. Peak wattage can be higher and if several cards have a peak at same moment, it can cause such problems.

I use this:  CHIEFTEC A80 750W PSU.
The win10 was a clean install and I use the afterburner too.
At the moment there is two videocard PSU connectors are divided to four so one rail us divided to two way.
I have not tried the "i -3" but I will, thank you for the advice!

My config:
-zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333
-zwal
-zpsw z
-i 4,4,4,4
-r 1

And settings:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
