There is no problem with your HDD. It is normal message from OS Windows related to the percentage of the available space.

Hey Everyone,

So I've expanded my rig from 5 cards to 6 cards recently and was having some trouble stabilizing 6 cards.

I was able to stabilize them after updating bios to Gen2, increasing virtual memory and updating cards to latest drivers.

I have a question about virtual memory.  Roll Eyes

After some research I decided to dedicate a partition on my hard drive to 72GB [(8 cards x 8gb) + 8gb ram] for virtual memory only.

After just one day of mining, i received a warning that my dedicated partition is running low on memory.

Is this ok?  Huh

I adjusted the system setting to clear page filing at shutdown, but when i reboot it still shows this partition pretty close to full.

Does virtual memory overwrite itself without impacting mining?

Even with this warning, it's been steady.

Any advice or input?

_______________________________________________________________________________ __________

Or did I allocate the virtual memory partition just right where it's always going to be close to fully used up?

Thank you

 

No need to worry about Low space warning. since its a different partition, it wont effect OS or mining. If you want that warning to go off, just reduce virtual memory to 70GB and leave 2GB free space in that partition.
