Is it just me or the whole "mobo died in 2 hours" was a mountain out of a molehill?

can someone help me, i need to know that I am getting all the right parts, I want to buy 1 or 2 6gpu rigs but need some help, ill happily pay a tip to someone who can help, PM me

i like this build, asrock h81 pro btc or equivalent, like the h97 annyversary or the pro-g 8 giga ram g.skill sniper 1866, verycheap memory, ssd 120gb sandisk plus also very cheap, g1840 for the cpu and r1000i, but this is good only for 6 or 8 pin gpu, not dual 6+8 gpu

There are already numerous information about the GPU mining. You can search the mining section.

is someone running RX480 with linux and reaches the 27 MH/s ? I'm not able to get more than 24 with latest 16.30.3 driver.

What you are saying is true, but only for one who is using USB Risers, since they have no 12V lanes connected to the PCI connector on the card... If you were using ribbon risers then connecting 2 molexes to the MB would be a good thing to do...

With USB Risers those are not used at all... On the other hand you have to connect power to the risers via Molex/SATA connector.

All the best

 GPU-Z appears to only look at power draw via the PCI-E power connector(s) on the cards - which leaves out 60-80 watts drawn via the actual PCI-E SLOT by each card.

On the new H97 Anniversary ASRock Boards, if you have 3+ cards it wont boot unless you plug in the molex on the board. At least that was my experience, even with USB PCI-e risers.

I confirm that, I have a H97 Anniversary and mobo doesn't boot if you don't connect the molex on the board. I'm using it with 5 cards.

Are you mining at the moment of taking this screenshot? If so, stop and then open Wattman...

You can click on those N/A fields and you can adjust value...

All my 480s are at 1000mhz and 800 m, pulling ~ 140W each @ 24.5MH/s

Am am using Newest ATI Drivers 16.7.3 on Win 8.1


Ah, yeah i was mining.
Now i got it to work.

Thanks.




is is better and more save if you connect the Molex Power cabels on your asrock mainboard, so you have more power on the pci-e bus and the normal mainboard power connector is not so under load / reduce the heat from the main connector --> very importend!
I never use the molex connectors when using powered risers. People have been burning stuff that way doing that on this mobo.
This is the third time i reuse these systems and never burned anything during the last 3-4 years.

gpuz doesnt account for what the riser pulls i think 1125-660 465 / 6 77.5

Something fishy is going on here.

GPU-Z is reporting a powerdraw at around 110w on every card.
But my watt meter at the wall is reporting 1255w for the whole rig @ stock clocks.

110x6=660w
My system cant pull 595w, more likely around 70w..

Maybe my watt meter is broken, it have to be ?

most likely gpu z is wrong

i use 6 cards in dual mining mode and have a setup from 1000mhz and 900mvolt --> power @wall 1000 Watt with 26 per card and 155 MHs over all 6 cards

if i go down at 800mvolt the system will crash. i try tomorrow 850mvolt to save some power

It should use 700-800Watts. Something is wrong or you are dual mining.

Wow, 6 480s doing 25Mh each can run on 700 Watts?  Shocked Amazing if true.

700 is bullshit, not true, the lowest is 120w per card  so 800w minimum, and it was done with a bios hach, so standard is more like 140-150w per card

With the 16.7.3 driver you dont seem to be able to underclock GPU voltage

Is there any other way to make it possible without changing the driver ?
What driver is the best to use right now ?

I cant get any other oc software to work with the RX480 either.

And about the TDP value. Is the only way to lower it a bios mod ?

I think 700w is a bit low, if i can get my six cards + system to run at 850-900w i will be pretty happy.
