it says Rx1063 not sure what that means

Check if its mining. Meaby it switched screen output to another GPU or something.

Yeah that was great when i first started doing RIGS but not im pretty much an expert so i can trouble shoot rigs easily withoute having to load the bios and look at board explorers.  The MSI gaming 5's are just too expensive for me  since i am trying
to keep my rigs under 1400 per six rig

So i installed the RX os to an SSD on my MSI Z97 board with six rx 470 cards and changed the text file email as in the instruction

- problem when i see the ubuntu selection screen and click on unbuntu all i see is a black screen

 - ideas ?

Is your site down?

Its up now 

I agree, risers are the biggest Pain in the @SS!  However if you do find quality ones where the SATA to Molex won't melt, they're generally not too bad.  For small setup your 4 card setup or maybe a couple of Play pandas are fun and super low maintenance.  However it's not cost effective for large farm and is less than ideal for heat management except the lovely Pandas.  I'm running a 400 plus GPU farm which would mean that it would be over 100 rigs to manage vs say 57+ x MSI Gaming 5 Rigs.  I got my MSI Gaming 5 at fairly cheap at $99-120 when they're on sale or refurb so per dollar average cost per GPU is definitely much cheaper hands down as our MB, SSD,PSU, CPU, RAM, case set adds a lot of cost per rig not to mention licensing cost (ie Awesome miner, ROMs, etc).   Yes, I do coin switching but not too much as I try to make specialized groups of cards and ROMs to handle specialized coins (ie 470 for Eth, 480 / Furies for ZEC, etc).  


It's definitely a lot of work, hence why great tools such like Simplemining.net, Rig resetters, and especially standardization helps a lot to allow me to do all this as a 1 man show on top of handling a full time IT job.  I'm 50% complete with my Data Center farm pumping out over 40 FAT Pandas.  Getting ready for the Shed build out to store my open air rigs and legacy rigs type.  


My journey documented below for anyone who wants to build a Giant farm at home and want to skip all the growing pain I had to go thru.  Much of what I learned is thru this forum and great guys like Phillip among many others Senior members.  Just upload a nasty burn from risers per Phil's comment and also reference where you can get good quality risers from our fellow forum member.

This alone makes the MSI Gaming 5 board worth the price of admission.  You can see what card is not seen or is having issues, rather than guess or do trial and error with other boards including ASROCK.




  

awsome thanks, im doing an install to SSD now

if you have in options  -mport -3333
then you can use this port for monitoring also in ethmon tool.
It is just opened api

@tytanick

does the claymore ethmon tool still send the reported hashrate via simplemining to my monitor box ? 

15,5 hours without error for now.

I have 30 riser rigs on MSI boards and some on those HTC boards and they 90% are fine  all my rigs are six cards

none riser rigs for a large installation is a no no , cards are too close and the head from cards affect each other.  For  a midsize installation its fine though t ohave you
cards cooking each other.

I might go back to the MSI gaming boards they stupid expensive though, at like $150 per board vs the HTC biostar and asrock boards which are a mere $70 , but you get what you pay for

the MSI gaming boards are my most rock solid boards in general.

I'm trying the simplemining on one of my servers that has been constanly unstable though its a riser rig we will see how it goes

as for the panda miners they are too expensive for my taste and no resale on the cards bothers me too.

Think so?
Its as stable as you manage to make it. I could honestly say that without a gentle touch even 1 cards setup is unstable( regarding AMD), on the other hand my nvidia rigs are rock solid.

Riser rigs suck. Always have always will.

I have 1 riser rig an h81 it sucks.

I never managed to get 5 cards solid on it.

Back in the day of Btc and gpu. Riser rigs sucked.

This is not to insult people that mine with 5 and 6 card rigs.

It is a personal choice for some to run 5 and 6 card rigs.  Just as it is a choice to run four card rigs on my part.

If I had a different setup I could try for six card rigs. And I did get a z270 to run five card well.

I have found that being a bit more relaxed about mining makes it a bit easier.

Ie four rigs with cards at a slight underclock are pretty much set them and forget them.

While five and six card rigs pushed a bit suck.  They cry for,help and are hi  Maintainence

And a six card rig once built means you are committed to it.  You have a big ass psu  with six risers.

I would suggest you convert to pandaminers or to,four card biostar like I run.

You most likely won't since you have decided six and five card are better for you.

Frankly they may be better for your setup.  You have more gear then me if I remember correctly.

A question you run a switcher miner  that moves from coin to,coin?

It may be due to the fact that most of your rigs are under 5 GPUs.  It's when you go over that you see 1 or 2 GPUs not hashing making it a 5 or 6 GPU rig.  Note that it's not GPU issues or riser as Claymore would detect and hash all GPUS.  Windows as well, so it's definitely Optiminer 1.6, not USB drive or anything.

Plus 1 on Optiminer 1.5 option for RX.  The speed boost is awesome but the 1.6 compatibility issues is horrible for RX.   I  have 40 USB drives sitting here waiting for a working solution.  =)

my 27 msi 470 4gb with stock bios all good.
1 msi 480 8gb stock bios good
1 msi 470 4gb with mod good

my 8 card panda miner good

total 37 cards on 9 rigs good

I will try make beta update soon for new kenel (after i will test some of them and also OpenCL new driver)
Thx to laik2 for help. !

So i have about 14 rigs that have problem with new 1.6 and 1.6.1 optiminer. 1.5 was working nice. Claymore is working without problem. I think that 1.6-.1 destroyed some of my risers. After 10 h mining with optiminer (with watchdog to restart) is no way to run rig without problem.
Rigs:
6 x RX 480 G1 gaming
6x RX 480 XFX RS
6x RX 480 XFX GTR
3x 5x RX 480 XFX Reference with backplate
7x 5x RX 480 Sapphire Reference
H81 pro btc
SSD drive
1600W psu

I was swithed all rigs to Claymore. Can you add v1.5 optiminer as miner option? Its 280-290 Sol/s, but work stable for me.

3x RX 480 8GB (2 powered and 1 unpowered risers)
Standard bios, clocks,...
Optiminer - zcash

The beta kernel is better, but not ideal. It may be a day fine, and the next day I must 2-5 times a day to restart the rig.
Today I switch from USB to SATA and 3 hours without errors for now.

I think i dont understand you but let me tell you how it needs to be done.
You need to run windows righ? So run it but dont touch that Widnows drive.
Second drive is that SSD that needs to be plugged also into that windows PC.
image file you need to have on windows drive and then run app and select this second drive. Is it ok ?
