Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v7.0

Anybody else having problems with their GPUs?

My R9 Fury X started behaving really strangely. It idles at 65C instead of 27, and as soon as I start mining/playing a game it starts overheating, and after a time the computer just stops.

My rigs are totally fine, but the thing why I think it is related to mining is because I was running 6.0 on my computer when it restarted for the first time (this morning) and since then I can not make it work again.

I tried with a different windows, and I got the same behaviour. Any ideas? (the GPU is still under warranty so I am not worried)

had a similar problem with one of my 480 after update to v7 I tried re installing the driver but no change,this one GPU just kept overhead but after a few restarts of the miner and hard reboot problem rectified its self,as said check your fan and pump are ok then make sure ur running stock settings hard boot PC and try starting miner a couple of times to see if it fixes its self like mine did

Have you checked to see the fan is spinning, not jammed or broken?

If it is fine, the issue is most likely the thermal paste between the core and heatsink is broken

Thanks for the help!

The BIOS was not modded and I did not overclocked it at all.
The fan is still working and strangely the air that it blows out is cold (even though it says that the GPU is at 70C). So I assume it is the thermal paste then. The good thing is that I managed to get a replacement for the GPU that will arrive in 2 days.

Maybe the pump is dead? If the radiator is cold then pump is dead.
