What is your intesity setting i am using sapphire r9 280x and MSI 7970 lighting and have found that if I go for intesity higher than -i 2 my rigs start going unstable (restarting,hanging etc..) for the 7970 with downvolt to 1069 mV on the GPU core, on the r9 280 x I can do -i 4 and be stable with the downvolt of 980 mV.

7970 downvolt stable -i 2 get 290 to 300 h/s on claymore 12.4
r9 280 downvolt stable -i 4 get 290 to 300 h/s on claymore 12.4 

All cards are running asm option
Hope this helps

This did help get me where I wanted to be. I was able to use -i 6 for my 7970's and they are stable so far.

Thank you.
Hi,
so you undervolt them and now they are stabe with more then -i 2 ?

No, I made changes that djolep07 made me think about.

I have voltage set to about the same as djolep07.

I have this in my config:

-zpool equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357
-zwal (my wallet address).r10
-zpsw z
-allpools 1
-i 6
-asm 1

(I had -i 8. Even though the miner sets intensity to 7 that is to high and it made everything slower. I believe that was the problem.)

I didn't have -asm 1 in my config. I think the miner was automatically using it anyway but now I set it to use it for sure.

Additionally, I noticed that my start.bat file didn't have the extra parameters in it anymore. I may have missed that when I did a previous update.

So now it has all this in it:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ZecMiner64.exe

Getting a nice 300+ H/s from each card now.
So you are using more than -i 2 on 7970 cards and it is not crashing ?

Thats correct. I am using -i 6 and it is completely stable.
