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

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.

If that doesn't work, consider getting the exact error and popping into the nvOC thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mining-os-nvoc-1854250). That thread is more active and there are several knowledgeable people who help each other out, but they'll need detail.

This thread will be more active, I'm sure, after fullzero gets out the next update and rxOC becomes more useful for AMD miners.

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

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.)

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?

To open the terminal window after nvOC boots you should press F12.

Try installing drivers for your 380x using this manual http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx

Not my area of skill, but I hope someone can answer you... I'm literally in the process of rebuilding my 6xAMD rig into Windows 10 right now, and will come back to rxOC in the future when it's ready. (All the rest of my rigs are NVidia and are on nvOC.)

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

https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-Pro-Beta-Mining-Driver-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx

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

Well, I will be very happy for anything though I might not be the best beta tester as my rigs are running 5-8 vegas each.

@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:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mining-os-nvoc-1854250

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...

Those are not miner errors and are not GPU errors.

Those are network errors.

Are you on WiFI? Try wired, instead.

From your mining rig, try pointing Firefox at a web site that tests the quality of your internet connection.

@MentalNomad

Hey man thanks for replying, I'm using wired internet that is running at 40 Mbps/sec , I solved it by re-installing rxOC and trying a pool I haven't tried before, anyway, I have now another issue LOL, I just got a GTX 1070 and I wanna put it on my mining rig which is running rxOC and R9 380x but I only have a 32gb USB for my rig, I saw ocFACTORY which works for both but I only have 32 gb space Sad

@FullZero

My motherboard is Gigabyte G1.Sniper B7 running rxOC with R9 380X at 17.8Mh/s non OC if you wanna add it to the list, I'm trying to get that GPU (R9 390X) and a GTX 1070 to work but I only have a 32GB USB and I cannot find anything that works except your rxOC... Do you have any idea? :/ Thank you!

Hey man, I know this is kinda stupid and I'm sure I'm missing something, but I've searched and cannot find a solution, this occurs on both miners Genoil and Claymore, any thoughts?

Edit note : I tried a few different pools and they're all the same...

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!

First all, Thank you very much for the awesome work you do!!

So,

Tried to put the DAG fix using the following:

#Install new ROCm Kernel:

wget -qO - http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rocm

#edit grub
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
#2MB fragments for Ellesmere are enabled with a grub option:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="amdgpu.vm_fragment_size=9"

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

The problem is the first GPU will now do about half speed while the other GPU's are running properly faster. Tried multiple times, different gpu's, etc, same results.

I know it's being updated in V13, anybody have a clue how to fix this first GPU problem in the meantime? I've just reverted back to untouched V12.

If anyone cares, my 580's run at about 25(no oc), with dag fix 27, but the first gpu will run at 14, would be nice to get them all to 27.

What happens if you run headless? Is the first GPU still nerfed?

I did the same to apply dagfix, with the same effect on the GPU0, tried to run it headless and yes, it is the same slow without monitor attached. By the way I had the same problem with nvOC headless P106 rigs, and it was easily solved by reconfiguring xorg with nvidia tool when no monitor attached. Maybe reconfiguration is the right way here too, but I don't know how to do it with RX cards.

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

Thank you very much! This solved my issue :-)
