hey guys first off I want to say that I hope you have a good new year and that thanks for everyones help over this year.

second thing is.... HELLLLLLP

what are normal mining temps for ref rx470s and rx480s

i say this becaue I have 2 ref cards that I got before any of my new cards

they are in an open built frame like most other miners

HOWEVER HERE IS MY PROBLEM......83 degrees at 75% fan speeds.........

I want to know why these cards are so hot with such high fan speeds where my other ones are not

I know they are ref cards but this is crazy right? Huh

Cheeers

ref card cooling system are super crappy Sad

you should probably invest for alternative cooling solution and/or look on internet you have some tutorials to improve cooling on thoses

I have 2 ref rx 480s. On ETH/XMR one of them is always 82C, second is 76C.

On Zec both are 3-5C colder

I had my first power delivery failure today: Four risers off of one molex drop is too much. The modular connector at the PSU burnt up.

Scheisse.

Probably you can find the modular cable on Ebay. EVGA from this point of view is very good - these cables are alway available on Ebay and reasonably priced.

Four?! That's crazy town Tongue

I won't put more than two risers on one molex ever.

Of course its too much!

I have only one riser per cord if the gpu has a 6pin pcie and not more than two if both gpus have an 8pin pcie.. more might work too but I´m going the secure way here ;-)

You have all the sleep/hibernate settings turned off in windows? You should be able to look through the windows system event logs to see if the OS is the culprit. This was caught me once or twice.

Yup. If it's every 6 hours, it won't be the bios. Check hibernation settings and: powercfg /h off

Phil... just curious, what Claymore miner are you using? ZEC? XMR?

when I testing the -r and -wd features in Claymore, I made a mistake in the settings only to find out that one of the -r settings was causing miner to restart every 60 minutes.... that took me to wild goose chase thinking my HW was faulty.

If above not applicable, then it can only be HW related or low level BIOS settings.

I dont think there is any OS specific feature that turns off the rig unless done purpose with a cron job or a capped Internet metering your mentioned - or virus related....

back to my evga mobo it turns off every six hours

this means I must have a setting done wrong.
as it is always six hours. I will need to dig into the bios.

*snip*

It may be your psu or a setting with the psu. I know that you are plugged into your mobo, but when you don't have the psu papercliped the same issue would be seen. Just an Idea to get you in the right direction.

It is directly attached to a mobo no paper clips involved.

And it is every six hours.

So I may have a metered setting for my internet in windows 7

Or this mobo has a weird setting.

This is the second mobo that does this. I have a small it's a h170. Does the same thing.

In both cases the mobo turns off every six hours like clockwork.

The other mobo is a gigabyte or An Asrock

"GUI" is likely standard windows 10 or 7, then just change the Windows pack language to English.... I am writing this with a grin on my face.... I think a foreign "GUI" adds more excitement to the review Grin

True. Russian guys install Russia language pack with no problem.

after running it for 20 mins it restarted and its working

it said

gpu 0 hangs
gpu 1 hangs
gpu 2 gangs
gpu 3 gangs

turns out my gpus hanged themselves and then it auto restarted and worked

this is weird

Cheers guys

Are they overclocked? If so, reduce the frequency. If not, reduce the intensity.

the righ has been running smooth for weeeks but now my hash rates are all over

I have a similar experience but only this config:

RX480 mining XMR using Claymore v9.6

In the end the rig just dies off.

Claymore needs to work on the RX support for his XMR miner.

While all my other Nanos and 390 works very well with v9.6, all the RX480 rigs now use sgminer-gm with very good and stable results.

I realised that sgminer-gm v5.5.4 is a universal miner and can mine ETH, XMR and ZEC with the same app, it has very good driver support, Best thing is sgminer-gm is for Windows and Linux. The bad thing is that I lose all the Ethman monitoring features from Claymore... well this sucks. Ideas?
