Hi folks.
I recently upgraded my rigs from Win 7 to Win 10, just to be able to mine ETH (again) since AMD driver compute mode only works with Win10.
After the upgrade I have had quite a few issues with Win 10.  The most annoying thing is this.
I have two rigs with 4 cards each, both a mix of RX 470 and 570.  The claymore ETH miner version 11.4 is great. All cards hashing away at 29-30MH/s no problem.  All cards running at 1100/2000 core/mem frerq.  After a while GPU 3 core voltage will jump from 856 mV to 1019 mV.    The same happens on the other rig:  again voltage goes from 887 to 1019 mV.     WTF???
So those cards get really hot after a while.  From 60c to 75c
I have to fiddle with Watttool to get the voltage setting back down to 800-voltage level.  I tried OverDriveNtool - same behavior.
I suspect its a GPU driver issue, knowing the overall shittiness of AMD drivers.   I am using Adrenalin 18.2.1 from Feb7.
If anyone already experienced this problem, then please share a solution.  I am quite pissed as this sudden voltage jump threatens the  health of my cards.
