Dear Friends, I need your help.
I have 2 rigs (3 cards + 6 cards) RX 570-580. Before Claymore v15.0 (up to November), it used to work quite stable... I had 75 + 155 MHs.
After the update, it basically stopped working at all... Drivers seem to fall leaving me with 1-2 cards running at 10mhs and consuming 140W (according to afterburner). I'm using Aug. blockchain drivers.
So... I tried everything I could to make it work... I literally ran out of ideas.
- I tried different configurations, reducing mc and cc, changing power limits, voltage, etc. kind of tradeoff efficiency for stability.
- I tried to auto-restart the miner (and computer) and run via .exe and bat file. (I even tried restarting pc every 20min or so).
- different drivers didn't work as well...
- I tried changing RAM to 4, 8, 16 GB...
- configuring autoburner so I have ±100 W; stable. (gives around 22mhs per card, which is not much... and still, it crushes.
I set up everything... eave the rig... it works 15 hours in the best case scenario... (usually 2-3 hours) and then ... drivers fall leaving 2 cards 10mhs. then I reinstall drivers, config auto burner and everything repeats. I think I was able to detect the error once before the crash, the red line said: "OpenCL error, -36, cannot write buffer for DAG". I'm not sure if it's related to what happens but this what I was able to see.
At this time it's more like a hobby than earning. I call it 'my little tech club' - I'm trying to make it work because I enjoy when it works stable... I'm not a tech or hardware guy and I learned a lot through the course of these years. But past experience was very disappointing. The rig is not in my house and I can visit it once a week in the best, I probably spend more money on gas (not counting my time).
Please give me some ideas about what can I do to make it work stable... maybe with fewer MHS, but stable. I would appreciate any advice on how can I make it work.
Thanks, dear community!
