I am LOVING HiveOS at the moment. Stupid easy to setup. Took 5min to write it to a flash drive, plugged it in, swapped video connected from iGPU to GPU1, created my rig, and got the whole system up and mining in like 10 minutes.

Compared to the hours it took to install windows eventually using a SSD, and downloading drivers, installing 7 cards, rebooting at least 30 times, and it still not being stable, HiveOS blows away anything windows based so far.

So I guess now will begin the longevity testing

Loving the many more features hiveos has that awesome miner didn't have too.

Thanks for the recommendation.

well checklist or not being able to correct comes with experience and playing with settings if you see higher hash rate than you expected(by atleast 20 - 30 percent) there can be some algo issues or miner is outdated even driver issues they can all have their signs.
for example check miner's github and see if it fixes some issues in the algo you are mining right now in its log
also try using hiveos farm os for mining it has watchdog that will restart miner or rig itself if hashrate be lower than what you specify for it based on time it being off, its free until 4 rigs.

Hmm hive os seems sweet. Is it cloud managable like awesome miner is? I may just switch.

The harder your life is the more meaning it has.

Is there like a checklist somewhere that says to look for x,y,z when your miner keeps fucking up?

The ccminer was "mining" when looking at the screen on the miner itself. It was saying it was doing 5GH/s on 6 GPU's (1 is missing yayyy), when it should be more like 2GH/s, and after the miner being up for 6 hours, the pool itself is sending me emails saying the worker is idle. I'm using miningpoolhub.

Is it increasing it's own difficulty increasing the Khash/s causing some sort of issue? If so, how do I stop it?

Any ideas?

I'm tempted to put a scheduled task in place that auto reboots this thing every 24 hours.
