Claymore, you should definitely include a command line switch which completely disables ADL (all kinds of hardware monitoring/control, don't even scan for it).
It took me a few days (and a few rounds of jumping between driver/CNext versions) to realize WattMan disables the GPU clock/voltage controls whenever your software is running but enables them when it's not.
I wish to try and undervolt my 480s...

Are you sure that "-tt 0" does not work? Moreover, ADL for 480 works only in v6.0.

I am using v6.0 now but I had the same problem with 5.3 (didn't try older ones with these cards).

Yes, I tried to add "-tt 0" but it doesn't seem to help (I only tried that with v6.0 though, not with v5.3). The GPU clock/voltage panel of WattMan gets grayed out whenever I start mining and it always comes back yellow (operable) when I stop mining.

I am not entirely certain it's related specifically to the hardware monitoring/controlling capabilities of your software or WattMan locks those controls under any kind of heavy computing loads. But it seemed to be a good "educated guess" at first if WattMan tries to "hand over the controls" when something else polls the hardware (think about third-party software like AfterBurner and GPU Tweak II, etc).

Getting "cannot allocate big buffer for DAG" on my card.

I have used

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Page file set to 16gb.

Any other ideas?

IN WINDOWS, USE "SETX" BEFORE EACH ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE--

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

Otherwise the environmental variable will NOT be set.

In Linux, use "export", and an equal sign, "=", like so:

EXPORT GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1

Otherwise the environmental variable will not be exported.     --scryptr

Currently windows 10 mining with nvidia  is broken on ethereum on anything 980ti and lower unless you're running nvidia driver version 347.88, which brings its own issues.

I am looking through the readme.

Would setting -ethi  to lower intensity be a viable way to save resources so I could game and mine at the same time?

And the readme makes it look like Decred and Siacoin share the same pool, and same wallet? What wallet do I make?

Why 6 blue USB cables and only 5 GPUS? The cables should be going from PCIe risers to the GPUs.

Were you not able to fit 6?

2 980ti's on Win10 with 368.81.  Works but getting like 3mh/s out of each card.  I saw the recommened driver was 369.05 but that only supports Pascal correct?

EDIT: Confirmed that 369.05 will not install on Maxwell

Install windows 7 , and stop this suffering.
you will lost more time tryng to make this work on 10,

Its primarily my gaming rig as I have dedicated AMD miner systems so wont be going back to 7 on this one.  But will mine some extra coin on the side if I can get it working decently.

this is api from dwarfpool

RIG: 4GPUS
3 x R9 280 with Claymore 5.3 catalyst 15.2 is mining ETH only

RIG: RIG3GPUS

3x R9 280 with ETHminer + proxy catalyst 15.2

Can anyone tell me what is the point of using CLAYMORE?!

The point is that you can mine 2 coins together

yes but when you mine 2 coins together the hashrate drops big time...

Did you set all the recommended paramaters in the OP guide?  I use Claymore because I get better hashrate than ethminer+stratum + built in card reporting and control.  I only mine eth

can you tell me about what parameters you are talking about?

REgards

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

For multi-GPU systems, set Virtual Memory size in Windows at least 16 GB:
"Computer Properties / Advanced System Settings / Performance / Advanced / Virtual Memory".

absolutely not, it was studied this way to work flawlessly, thanks to a silverstone treatment above them:
