@claymore: Thank you for the many features and other improvements. I appreciate your work and the support you give to the hobby miners like me.

I have issues since I turned my rigs to XMR mining:

Is it a good idea to use CN miner with 16.10.3 ATI drivers or should I "downgrade" to 15.12 or an older 16.x version? I have 6*RX470 ref. 4GB Sapphire cards in my rigs, and I can't stabilize them. I tried with original/factory bios and settings, I also tried lower freq. and voltage, mem.timing mod, etc., but the OS (WIN10) always crashes.

Previously I used your awesome ZCASH miner and the rigs were rock-stable.

Miner is compiled with 15.12 drivers, but for Polaris cards you cannot use 15.x drivers, so use 16.x drivers, currently I use 16.11.3 for tests.
If you don't overclock your cards, check PSU and risers.

Thank you for the answer. I have 1300-1600W (gold) PSUs and VER005 USB risers. I turned the rigs back to ZEC mining and everything works fine and stable. My last idea was to change the driver.
