Hello everyone, I was hoping someone might have some insight for me about why my rig may be freezing.
I have
H97 anniversary mobo
4gig RAM
Cheapo CPU
6 MSI RX 480 Gaming X 8GB
The rig will freeze if I have 5 or 6 GPUs attached. The driver will constant fail, freeze, and sometimes reset the pc. The rigs will freeze mining Monero and Ethereum.
I have done a full system reset. Installed only the necessary drivers plus GPU drivers, set the virtual memory to 16gb min and 32gb max. What else may I be missing.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you.
i have noticed a similar issue with multiple of the anniversary boards. i build ETH and ZEC rigs for a friend (270x's) and with multiple rigs we have noticed an issue with adding card 6.
What ive decided so far:
1)could be not enough ram to run each card, i read somewhere that ZEC/ETH mining requires 1-2GB of ram per card (no idea if true)
2) could be your PSU cant handle all cards properly
3)My personal opinion, the anniversary board was selling far cheaper then the 'ProBTC'... I personally think there is something with the board model itself, as each of the rigs i have this issue with ... do it in the same slot (slot 3... the first after the 16x)
