anyone know if rxOC works with 12 of the same card?

Yep. Before that the mobo was not recognizing all 6 GPUs. I'll try today to install the amdgpu-pro-17.40-483984.tar.xz driver, i'll write if this fix the problem
I was thinking if this is possible to be hardware issue, as no one had problem with working 6 GPUs in Linux ....
Thanks.

Did you make the BIOS settings changes indicated for your Mobo in the opening post?

Hello and thanks for this post.
I've build my rig with Asus Prime Z270-a mobo, 8GB RAM, Intel Celeron G3930 2.9GHz 2MB LGA 1151, 1200 PSU and 6 Radeon Saphire RX580 4 GB GPUs
In Windows 10 / 64bit it works only with 5 GPU, and the performance for two of them is lower - 4 are giving 30 MHs , 1 is giving 28MHs and 1 - 20MHs.
I've tried the mixing of 17.5.1 and 16.11.3 (as described in the post), but there was no effect. The computer boots, all 6 GPUs are recognized in Device manager, but once i start the miner  (Claymore etherium v 10) i get blue screen and the PC crashes.
I've tried also to set it up on Ubuntu with the image provided here (rxOC_v0012). The miner starts with all 6 GPU with performance around 26 MHs for each one. In few minutes, one of the GPU is dropping on 0MHs and miner freezes with message (just rough recall) ... GPU 5 hangs in OpenCL, miner has to be restarted .... When itry to close the miner, entire system freezes and only option is power shut off ...
I'll appreciate any advice on this.
Thank you All

Thing is I don't know how to add AMD drivers, I tried to follow a video but the terminal in nvOC is Nvidia miner :/ Any ideas?

You can try running nvOC and then adding AMD driver for your 380x... but the automated setting of power and OC is effective on NVidia, but not on AMD right now.

(Under Linux. Under Windows, AMD tweaking works better. It's a function of the drivers available, so no good solution for Linux, right now. I think that's part of why rxOC gets less attention - until drivers make tweaking more possible, there's not as much demand for rxOC.)

I can cleanup and upload the stopgap version I am using now sometime soon if you want / but it is very beta.

Seems like there is new drivers for Nix.

Hoping for new version to come out so I can move on from Windows to RxOC. Those vegas are waiting :-P

thank you for v12.   v12 better than v11 seems and stabiliz.  I can download thx but google download link some slow you should upload mega or ftp .

fullzero, when should we expect a v0013 on the rxOC?
I`m currently using nvOC and I`m very pleased with the new implementatinos of telegraph messages and the watchdog, great job!

I've decided to stop waiting for v0013 and just run with v0012 for now because all my 1000-series rigs are now stable (thanks, @fullzero and all the contributors!) and my six Radeon RX470s were sitting idle (boo! BOO!)

But I'm running into a snag. On First Boot with the v0012 build after imaging (with the same solution I successfully use for imaging nvOC), the rig falls into BusyBox, as shown in the top screen, here:



Second boot goes into Grub, which allows me to start Ubuntu, but goes into the second image in the image above, reporting some sort of corruption and need for fsck.

I've scratched and re-imaged the USB key (same model used with nvOC), I've removed all video cards but the one in the primary X16 slot, I've pre-edited the oneBash file and dropped it into various folders for First Boot, but no joy.

It's on an Asus Z170-AR mobo - which worked fine in Win 10 for mining 6 cards after BIOS update. I have Above 4G enabled.

Any suggestions or direction for troubleshooting? I'm happy to provide whatever info anyone needs to assist. (Warning: I am still getting my bearings in Ubuntuland.)

I'm currently set up with a single video card in the primary X16 slot, connected via USB riser. On First Boot, I briefly get the purple Ubunu desktop background before the screen goes black and it drops into BusyBox.

If necessary, I'll pull the mobo out so that I can do a first boot with a card directly in the slot - that's something I've found necessary for Windows builds, but which I have not found to be necessary for nvOS builds.

Thanks, in advance!

Update:

Figured out that I can run fsck manually with the following:


Afterwards, CTRL-ALT-DEL gets Ubuntu to start, but no GUI... just a login.

Will continue trying to troubleshoot and look through the thread again to see how to start the GUI...

OK, mined ETH all night!

Looking forwards to next version, but meanwhile, thanks for all you've done for us!

 
Next job: upgrade Claymore to 10.0 and tweak OC...

Issue with slow GPU0 solved by setting it's PCIe slot to Gen2 in BIOS. I had Gen1 for all slots before.

I read about it but I only have one rig and I have an AMD R9 380X and GTX 1070...
I wanted to download factoryOC which is another OS/build that works for both AMD and Nvidia but I only have 32 GB of space and the main problem is his the factoryOC download links are not working idk why...

@shade123 - rxOC only has video drivers for AMD cards. @FullZero has a separate build/project called nvOC with NVIDIA drivers.

nvOC is actually much better developed:
