Topic: Help: Asus Z87- K and C both have issues when mining (Read 594 times)

I got all sorts of mobos mining. MSI, EVGA, gigabyte... all never give me issues like these 2 versions of asus mobos do.

consistant crashing of mining, one of them when used to mine, the system clock actually slows down. Yes, that is right, SLOWS DOWN. When I reboot the clock would of course reset.... but once you start mining, it takes a poo.


I ran 207x's in both of them. I could not get anything stable in either of them. Even defualt settings. I eventually ended up taking out the gpu engine and mem flags out of the conf file, but then your looking at ~300k hash each. That is total garbage.


SO with that said, I am going to try switching out cards and see if maybe my 7850s will play nice in there....I ended up moving the C version to my main rig for I dont mine on that one ( gaming and everyday usuage ).... but I ended up getting a K version and its been nothing short of shit.... unless someone knows a reason WHY it would be doing this... that would help but ATM looks like I got another paper weight. I might take it back to the store too because well... its shit.

Quick note:

It would seem like the drivers crash when mining .... why that would be I have no idea...if I cant even run a 1050/1400 which is stock speeds for the GPUs... what is the point? Ive tried all sorts of stuff including re installing windows, win 8.1... I may "try" windows 7 and see what happens if it gives the 7850s issues but really... I though asus was the king of mobos, though I never had any luck with them sense the sckt 754 days.
