Hi,
Need some guidance. I have Rigs with RX580 - bios moded.
I was mining Cryptonight algo - Tube for quite some time. My rigs were with Blockchain AMD drivers and SRBMiner 1.7.3 - I have very small problems with rigs, from some time the miner software crashes but is something like once in a 2-3 days. I just restart the miner software and continue to mine for another 2-3 days. When it crashes my rig is ~140 W till i restart it. SRBRestarter does not work for some reason probably because see that the process is ON /crashed but is not absent /
I decided to upgrade the miner with the last version first without changing the drivers. And all the problems started
every night at about the same time all rigs stop sending to the pool but they continue to draw full power from the wall .
I tried to set --minrigspeed but the miner works at full power just not submitting to the pool so the string does not work for me /pool is
https://bittube.miner.rocks/Then I changed the drivers with 18.5.1 but without luck - the problem stays. It works for most of the day but then stops submitting to the pool and continues to draw full power from the wall /and not 140w like with 1.7.3/
Current setup is
SRB Miner 1.9.3
Afterburner 4.5.0
AMD Driver 18.5.1

https://pasteboard.co/IrsHrzW.pngAlso have similar problem. Use to be 24/7 stable ~0.1% HW errors.
Been mining TUBE on and off so I can't figure out exactly when the problem started but I think after SRBMiner v1.8.8.
Happens after 1-3 days of mining, then all of a sudden starts spitting out 100% HW errors, continues retrieving jobs from pool but doesn't restart.
Current setup:
5x Vega 56s (no bios mod)
AMD drivers 18.6.1
SRB Miner v1.9.3 (Run through AwesomeMiner + Remote Agent if that makes a difference, although never used to be a problem)
Parameters: --ccryptonighttype bittubev2 --cgpuid 0,1,2,3,4 --cgpuintensity 56,56,56,56,56 --cgpuworksize 8,8,8,8,8 --cgputhreads 2,2,2,2,2 --cgpufragments 1,1,1,1,1 --cgputweakprofile 5L,10L,10L,2,9L --cgpuheavymode 2,2,2,1,2 --resetvega --enablegpurampup --nobinaries --preparedata
Still trying to figure it out with low clocks ~900mhz atm but still same problem.
--nobinaries doesn't help.
Hiho Guys!
I have read your reports, so
1.
HW Error's: comes from my experience, directly from the chips, by overheating or if the ventilation ducts are dirty with dust.
I would also try to
reduce some of the performance and to test if it might be because of it.
It's just a constant game. HAHA
2.
Crashes after 2-3 days: Unfortunately, I have no direct answer or experience, I would only have tips:
Is the MiningRig connected alone or on its own power distributor? Are there any other devices in the circuit? The European standard current distributors usually only have a power distribution of
3680watt. Have any parts been changed or rebuilt lately?
Would also recommend to see if the graphics cards are clean and dust-free.
Maybe a Windows setting? Such as standby of the hard disk, maybe turned on? Screen saver activated? Sometimes these things make problems.
Unfortunately, I also have the experience that PSUs after a long time, the performance can no longer hold.
I can only give the tip to unscrew the card case and clean carefully with the vacuum cleaner or a brush and once every 2 months at 24H continuous operation.
If you / you already do this, then the chips are already very stressed, can also happen from overclocking or if it is just too hot in the room´s and the chips reach 60-75 degrees possible.
And please pay attention:
The RECOMMENDED versions currently are:
ADRENALINE 18.6.1
SRB 1.9.3
Latest WINDOWS 10 (1803)
(I would also recommend keeping BIOS up-to-date)All other versions are a matter of luck, I would not recommend!
I hope i could help you, check this out.
Best regards
