Just Redid my settings and came out better:

1015 H/s
7 MSI RX470s
968 Watts at the wall
68 ave Watts (MSI Afterburner)
57C ave GPU Temp (MSI Afterburner)
49C CPU Temp
1500 Strap
MSI Afterburner settings: 1950 Memory Clock, 1200 Core Clock

My main goal is profitability = W/Hs (less is better)
Previously I was at .97 W/Hs
I am now at .95 W/Hs

To Undervolt I would loose efficiency and hashrate.  I also get more Hs and no Errors/Rejects!  Very Stable as well.  

Wow Aries that is very interesting! So, it looks like you got +30 h/r (with only +13W) just from changing clock speed from 1150 to 1200?

And am I to understand that you have eliminated under-volting altogether on this rig?  If so, was the under-volting reducing your h/r?

Overall, did you see any wattage or temp increase vs v5?  Also, are you leaving your v6 at the default "i 4"?  Did you experiment with the different intensity levels at all?  Curious to know what h/r & wattage difference intensity makes in this version.

Good Questions:

I only underplot if the mV in the P7 is over 1000.  If they are over 1000 i will use the voltage offset (x6.25mV) to get it down to 1000.  This is usually with GPUs that are under 73% efficiency.

The if I undervolt, there will be a change in the watts, but not in Hs or temp.

I am leaving the default "-i 4" as is.  I did not experiment with any others.

Thanks for the questions.  If you want to see this unit, see:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gpu-mining-rig-eth-zec-6-or-7-gpu-1676763

excellent results AriesIV10 - juts confirmed my thoughts on the next rig using RX470 using your GPU rack chassis.
Also 1300 w PSU for this rig should be more than enough and within safe operations.

no everything on risers ! (16x and 1x , all set to gen1 in bios)

It might be bandwidth limited.  Can you bump it to gen2?

I'm going to try !

edit : no luck with gen2 , still close to 150h/s

WOW!! CZM 6.0 is awesome!!!
Getting 140S/s+ on my MSI RX470 4GBs Smiley

Sampled v6 on my rigs:

290x at 166-168 H/s - speechless!

R9-390 at 177-180 H/s - OMG!

RX 480 at 140-142 H/s - best improvement since v5.

R9-Nano at 191-194 H/s  - OMG x 100 !

I am really off my seat on the R9-Nanos.

I think the HBM memory on the Nanos and Furys makes a big a difference.

These Nanos are also -100mV BIOS mod already so I dont even touch any AB settings, just install v6 put -i 4 and let it rip!


Citronick, could you remind me what are your 290x settings ?
Because I'm only at 150 per gpu (comparing to your 165/170 range)

For information , my RX470 got 140

No settings - ie probably stock, buts its a BIOS modded card.

I didn't even bother with AB because the the 290x is flashed with the almighty Stilt BIOS.

This rig has 2 x 290 and 1 x 290x. Its my test rig but when not in test mode, it joins the farm mining ZEC or whatever the flavor of the month is. I use to tinker with settings with AB but after Stilt bios - I don't bother anymore because its wattage came down a bunch and met my objectives.

Strange , I'm on the StiltBios too but I can't achieve your hashrate on 290s.
But 150 il already fine ,

Is your 290x seated on 16x PCI slot?

Claymore v6 is a blessing !!! Now, ZCash came a lot more profitable ! It is now even twice more profitable than Ethereum ! I gained an overal of 160 H/s on 2x RX 470 and 2x R9 380 ! Calymore Kiss.

yup, these big h/r increases alone have kept ZEC mining profitable vs ETH.

 For a day or two while the bulk of folks upgrade, then it's back to the same level more-or-less.

not if people were on linux.  I think this is faster then any linux for the moment.

Not to bust any bubbles but the profit will be the same in a little bit as everyone switches over to v6.

Optiminer is just as fast for linux.  https://github.com/Optiminer/OptiminerZcash

yeah it has been an ebb and flow.  but maybe there is more to squeeze out here.

Looks like ZCash Classic (ZCL) is starting to be a thing.  It is NOT on Poloniex or Bittrex, yet, though.  No block reward goes to the Devs.  You can mine it at suprnova. 

I'll give it a try with my CPUs , since I turned them off of ZEC.  Maybe throw one rig at them too. See what happens.

How do you sell it ?

Got increase from 1100 to 1300 H/s

Very cool release!

this edge will disappear by tomorrow since everybody else update as well (even with constant prices), but dumping will increase, so a dip might ensue as well.
I split my rigs between eth and zec-sometime one has advantage, other time the opposite.
I like the fact that zec used less wattage before, not sure about now.
