Dunno what the fuss is about.

I updated to v9 right after it came out, going from v8 on all my rigs and there have been ZERO issues. A little more power use and spikes up about 40-50watts on the 5-6 GPU rigs, but nothing that can not be handled.

I run my own BIoS on XFX based hardware and it's been stable since v9 came out, without any crashes etc..
I always say, check your hardware first as more than likely it's a power supply, cable or motherboard issue.
Just because the v9 taxes your whole system more and IT can not handle it, doesn't mean it's bad.

My r9-3xx/2xx GPU's added about 12-18% in hash rate, and the RX based GPU's about 4-5%.

Sadly with the price of ZEC, I might have to switch back to ETH soon. Cry
