Hello,
I'm having issues with Nicehash Miner 1.7.5.13 and also with 2.0.0.7. Same problem with every miner: after changing one or two algorythm, it freezes, crashes (restart) or even BSOD with Driver_IRQL_OR_LESS.
If I'm mining with only one algo selected on every gpu and not trying to switch, it works just fine, stable for hours and even days. Alpha version crashes sometimes, with .13 version works like charm. Eh, when I enable more algos and try to switch (I should mention I've tried with profitability at 0.07 and 0.1, which means it switch at 10% difference) it crashes as said above.
I've read on other places, reddit, nicehash issues on github that other people are having these issues. I've tried with two different drivers, not being latest.
OS: Win10 creators update with latest updates
GPU: 3x Asus GTX 1060 Dual and 3x Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce, all six with 6GB. A bit of overclock is done, +128 core and +196 memory. 100% power limit.
Driver 378.49
PSU: 2x Seasonic 850W
What could be the issue in your opinion?
Regards,
John
Have often seen Phil advise not to try and put too many gpus on the one mobo - maybe that's at fault here.
Could you advise: which motherboard, processor; ram quantity
Switching is very tough on gear. And you are at 100% tdp which I think is terrible use of power.
just drop tdp to 85% core to 100 and ram to 150
Here is a simple reason switching is hard.
eth likes 100 core and 300 memory
zec likes 200 core and 0 memory
So if you switch back and forth set at 128 core and 196 memory when you are on eth the settings are okay but on zec the settings are less then ideal
if you have five algos most likely only one or two match your settings well and the other 3 are less then ideal. So at 100% tdp you magnify the less then ideal settings. plus you could be switching a lot.
So back off on tdp core memory clock
Also make it switch at 15% not 10% so that less switching occurs.
85% not 100% ======= tdp
100 not 128 >>>>>>> core
150 not 196 ======= memory
15% not 10% >>>>>>> switch time
