Claymore; are you planning to fix the stability issues in 9.1? my rigs are still crashing in this version but work fine with 8.0.

They question has been answered already. There's no issues with the miner. Make sure your PSU's have plenty of capacity or downgrade to v8 as future releases will probably push GPU cards more.

That is right. You can underclock or use a more powerful PSU or reduce the intensity level. It solves the stability issue.

Thank you very much..
I noted some miners said not to use the sata to molex!!!
and if I used the sata to molex cable then I have to connect the (8pin from the PSU to the molex) which have 3 molex in series without issue!! If yes that means that the last sata (first on the last GPU side) draw 50-75W but the previous will draw double(as it is connected in series) and then the first sata (PSU side) will be tripple power.So it will survive!!!
Thanks.

It is better to use Molex, but you will be limited by power supply. So it depends on card. Reference 480 draws too much from PCIE slot, so would be an issue. As long as the card isn't taxing PCIE slot (realistically best at 66W or less, but card can draw 75W per the spec), it should be fine. Compare typical power usage of card to its power delivery. RX-480 reference uses ~165W, but only has 150W of inputs, by specifications (75 from 6 pin, 75 from slot). Any 480 with 8 pin should be fine (150W + 75). I think 480 was meant to be 150W card, but they upped clocks to be competitive with 1060, right before launch, so 6 pin isn't really enough.

Thanks again..
My cards are 11260-01 rx 480.. So I can connect the EVGA 1300 G2 pcei 1 for every card of the six. and use the 2 cables which have 3molex and 2molex to supply 5 raisers and 1 sata for the last raiser..
Will not have any issue while the molex are series connected!!!!
PCIE ]-----150W--------100W---------50W----
|50w | 50w |50w
molex1 molex2 molex3

You shouldn't connect more than 2 cards per chain from the PSU. So I would do 2 on each molex cable, then 2 on a sata chain, or 2 sata chains. I actually do 1 on each molex chain, and 1 on each sata chain, lots of extra cables, but shouldn't overload any of them.

Thx mate got it.

On flypool they use fix difficulty (2000) for default setting. You can set it manually in password parameter.

Should I set the diff higher for a 6*RX400 rig?

Is vardiff better than using fix difficulty?

5x R9-390's at stock settings will use about 1300-1400watts.
Unless you're using a perfectly running EVGA 1500 your power supply could be the issue. Most power supplies don't even get near their rated power.

Best thing to do is to have them adjust after bootup to max undervolt and see if they are more stable.

Buy a dps 2000bb and your problem will be over

Useless without 240v.

and they dont have the correct connections to power a standard mother board

That's no problem. If you run 2 rigs you can grab 2 500w PSUs to power your boards ($70) and then a dual dps2000 package complete with cables, breakout board, and power cords ($220).

I'm not affiliated with these guys. I just ran across their stuff when I was running S7s.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ibm-dps-4kw-psu-dual-dps-2000bb-breakout-boards-and-packages-1308296

If you only have a single rig, just grab a single 500W and look around for a single dps-2000 with breakout board and cables.

ATX PSUs get stupid expensive as you start looking north of 1000W. 4KW IBMs for $220? That's a steal. My EVGA 1600 was $300.

how did overcome the 8 pin connector on vga cards that require it

Friends using a dps 2000bb 6x r9 280x only in the gpus and normal psu to connect the board mother and riser everything works normal for more than months

You can either swap out the cables for 6 pin VGA to 8 Pin using a better gauge or use adapters. The cable route essentially turns your cables into 1 long adapter and is far more cost effective. If you already have a ton of cables laying around the adapters would be cheaper than replacing cables and you can get a deal if you buy in bulk.

All said, you can get 5KW of total power output (2 500W ATX and 2 dps-2000s) for ~$300 if you're buying from scratch. Might get as high as $350 if you need special cabling for R9 rigs using 8 pin power.

Edit:

Keep in mind, you also need to power 5 USB risers on a 6 rig setup and/or power the pcie slots. Some 500W PSUs won't have the configuration requirements necessary which may push you into something bigger. Even so, you will likely walk away with a much lower $/W ratio using a combination of ATX and server PSU.

what is DDU? Huh

ALSO HOW I CAN INSTALL 15.12
because i can not install these version of drivers?

I believe you should explore Google before your invest in mining. All your questions had been answered thousand times.

I love this website for these types of questions.

Your PSU is not good. You need to get a proper PSU with PCI-E connectors.

Hello guys,
I have a problem when mining. I am using Claymore miner and 6 RX 480 GPUs.
My problem is, there will be 1 GPU not recognized or something like that.
Let's make an example like: when I have 6 GPUs, GPU 3 will be mining at 0 H/s, and the console says: "GPU 3 hangs when OpenCL calls, exit".
when I have 5 GPUs, one of them will behave the same, which means, GPU x will be mining at 0 H/s, "GPU x hangs when OpenCL calls, exit".
I follow all the settings, put in necessary command lines, etc.
I used to reboot until my rig let all the GPUs work, but now that way is not working anymore.
Please help.

well there are various things to try/check....

first let us know what components you are using (mobo, ram, PSU, CPU, Win7/8/10) and what settings for the GPU (OC, voltage??)

from the first shoot i would gues low virtual mem (have to be 16gb min.) or too much OC/undervolt ( as many wrote that this is the main problem by the "hanging" of the GPU)..

I forgot about my components:
Mobo: Biostar TB85
CPU: Intel Celeron G1840 2.8Ghz
PSU: 2 x 750W
OS: window 10 enterprise

About paging memory, I first tried to set it up to 16GB, but now I set it to even 30~40GB, still no help, and I dont even OC it.

I had the same problem.
Try every card separately to make sure it not the card.
Try a bigger and better PSU, lets say 1600W with at lieast 15 Amp per single PCIE line.
If all of above succesfull then your problem is PSUs. Downclock GPUs: reduce Power, Core clock and GPU voltage.

This are actualy prety good.. 135 - 140 sols - v9.1. Good ratio w/sol.. Specialy if undervolted

Thanks.

I'll have a place to run my rigs again later this year and thinking if ETH or Zcash is more profitable nowadays?

Zcash still more profitable today. You can main and accumulate coins and sold for 0.075 BTC later. Wait not long to such movements, it happen once every 2 weeks.

LOL... You think Zcash behaves like period?

Does it depend on the Moon? Or is it in its code? .

You are very smart so I suspect you are very reach, cause everyone else selling Zcash at the moment.
If I buy 100 ZEC now for 0.05 and sell it in 2 weeks for 0.07 I can make 2BTC in profit in 2 weeks ! 800% profit per year. I will be rich in no time

Buying ZEC now!!!!!! Thank you so much. I worship you! Do you have any other advices? I will follow your every word !!!

-fanmin 70

What to do?

One card or many?
How do you check the fan speed?
Can you change it manually in Catalyst, AB?
Are you using riser? If yes try to use it without riser. Same result?

Can you guys help me. I have a problem with the miner. Yesterday my Zec total speed is 80-90H/s. When I restarted the PC it now becomes 12H/s.
How can I get back to 90H/s?

GPU: r7 260x -
I already tried v9.0, v9.1, v8.

Revert all setting to default. Do not overclock. Use DDU to uninstall the drivers. Do not use any extra settings in bat file except essentials. Check the power usage of GPU - should be closed to default. Check the frequencies GPU works on - should be close to default.
