Is anyone using RX 480s with powered risers? My system runs for about 8 hours then reboots. Plus the control center is the newer one and doesn't show temps.
I have the molex powered risers. That is connected to the motherboard PCIE slots as well. That is safer.
I ordered some they should be here today or Tues. Waiting for them before I add the 4th card.
I'm still waiting for the 4 Gb 480. Maybe in a week or so, right?
Do not buy RX 480, especially not for mining
PCI-E slot died with RX 480
https://community.amd.com/thread/202410Thanks for the heads up.. I was looking at them hard recently till they came with the speed at which they mined at.. I wasnt too impressed. Now this news is depressing.. Ill get some more 290x and undervolt them for the time being. They seem like real workhorses. Ill let the bugs get worked out of these first:)

On my test rig, I have a Sapphire RX-480 on the PCI slot of ASrock H81 Pro BTC, with both molex and PCI-USB3 riser powered from PSU (EVGA-G2-1300).
According to Kill-A-Watt meter it shows total rig is consuming 1.2amps and 195watts.
Running CDM v 4.7 on Win7, Crimson 16.6.2 for last 22 hours at 24.5MHs out of the box - no OC or undervolt!
Afternotes:
1. on ethpool.org, it shows 30MHs (effective hashrate) and 24.8MHs (reported hashrate).
2. I will getting 5 more cards to this rig tomorrow, and will be using the powered risers.
3. At this time, only 1 x 480 directly on PCI slot.
