Power spikes? Rig rebooted due to PSU protection? Tell me which one would do that instead of just shut down PSU itself:

OVP (Over Voltage Protection)
UVP (Under Voltage Protection)
OCP (Over Current Protection)
OPP (Over Power Protection)
and SCP (Short Circuit Protection)



Any of the "Over" stuff. Don't know that much to be able to tell exactly.

My BIOS is set to automatically power itself back on after shutdowns / power losses / reboots etc.

Mine too. And I also had a rig restarting several times per hour with v9. Also I have exactly identical rig running rock solid since v9 release.
In all rare cases in the past when my PSU engaged a protection it didn't simply restart. I actually had to unplug it from 220V source.

My point here is don't blame your quality PSU or Claymore Smiley
Or blame him for writing a miner stressing your hardware worse than Furmark, Version 9 is now good for me Smiley

@rozsada try the 16.9 drivers. How many watts is your PSU?

@mettalmag yes, dwarfpool is paying me roughly the same as Claymore miner says

What exactly did you get during the last 5 hours that Dwarfpool didn't find any block?
Dwarfpool needs more hashing power to become more profitable than flypool
Till then flypool rules...
I can see you don't understand how mining works lol. It doesn't matter if you are on a small pool that gets few block, vs. a large pool that gets a ton of them. On the small pool you get a higher share of the block instead of splitting it among thousands of miners. Over time it is a wash, same same, no difference.

Lol I do understand how mining works and you don't need to be a nuclear scientist to know that 0 blocks in a 5 hour timeframe means you get much less. It's a big gap that doesn't get covered unless the rest 19 hours dwarfpool mines 3 blocks per hour.
Which it doesn't....

Oh there is an easier way to count it. Just see how much Zec you get in a period of 24 hours with each pool and its crystal clear

It's an undisputable fact that dwarfpool lost the Zec train out of complacency and now they are running to gather hashrate
Good luck gathering it...

It is time for a more stable and friendly PSUs version v10.0!  Cool


That is right. My power supply is dead for a few hours. After a few hours, I can use the PSU again and I have to reduce the frequency and intensity.
About 30watts more than 8.0  on 4 x rx cards rig... 540-555w in total (505-520 prior)

some of my rigs reverted back to v8.

v9 has some serious stability issues that needs to be adressed.
Check clocks, volts, and PSUs.  I haven't had a single crash on 24 cards (470/480).  I have moderate undervolt and have PSUs at ~70% load (EVGA P2 1200w, 6 cards each).

 At one point my HD7870 rig was set to as far UNDERCLOCKED as I could get it, the card CAN'T be undervolted, and the PSU on it is a Seasonic X1250 Gold *LOAFING* at ballpark 15% of it's capasity.

 No, it's NOT the hardware when the same system runs at a serious OVERCLOCK with good stability on v8 running the same IDENTICAL hardware.

Somehow Claymore ZCash Miner v9 not as stable as V8.
sometimes it crashes after 12h sometimes after 14h...

Always about OpenCL hung.

The WD tries to restart but it fails somehow - I can close and reopen the app and it runs again.


It is better to reduce the frequency and volatge and leave more power headroom as there are many spikes.

I'm having issue:
I have 3x290x and 2x290... one of 290x started showing 40-50sols, other 2 280.

I managed to solve issue with uninstalling problematic device (in device manager) and scan for hardware than, to get installed again.
Hash rate is now ok.
But after I reboot, hash rate drops again.

I reboot because rig freeze.

I really don't know what to do :O.

I tried 15.12., 16.11.4, currently on 16.11.3.

Problem started when I installed latest AMD driver and unistalled it than, clean uninstall (amd) and ddu also in safe mode.

No idea why people are still mining ZEC with their 470/480. Basically throwing $0.15-$0.20 daily per card away in profits.
on top of that i can run more ZEC rigs than eth rigs the power savings is that good so it evens out in the end

What? There is no evening out of anything. If you have 470 or 480 cards, you are making more PROFIT (factoring in power consumption) by switching to ETH.

i have 4 extra rigs that i could not fit into my circuits when i was mining eth , the power savings from zec to eth is closer to 20% for me at least with 100mv undervolt on all cards

If i was mining eth those 4 rigs would be shut down right now gathering dust

Sounds to me like your neighbor would greatly appreciate you paying for his electricity (in return for housing the rigs at his place)

Lol my neigbors hate me from the noise my farm makes from the detached garage no way they would go for that

why there's no diference on hash power from RX 470 to RX480 Huh it shouldnt be higher ? i see cheap gpus reaching at the same amount as rx 480...

maybe with some updates on miner there'll be a incresae on rx480 hash power ?

The answer has been explained multiple times in this thread.

sorry, i'm new to this thread... in wich part it explains ?

What will you advice then? If youre not with ZEC. Will appreciate if you suggest and give us idea what to mine instead. Please. Thank you

The Zalman is fine with 4 cards. Your power is actually quite balanced between the 2 psu's.
