Hi all,

New to the forum and new to crypto mining but I decided to jump right. Looking for a little advice. I know you guys need info to work off of so i'll post what I bought and what i'm doing and looking to do.

I have x6 Sapphire Nitro+ rx580 8gb
MSI z170a gaming pro carbon

I'm building a customer frame so while i'm working on that, i hooked up the motherboard, 550w psu which will ultimately go along with a 1200w server psu and a single 580 to get things loaded and started.
I loaded driver 17.3.4

The first issue i'm having is that the whole system is just randomly shutting down. I originally tried to make some minor changes in Polaris bios editor and copied the 1750 straps into the 2000 straps.
This first card that I'm 'trying with has hynix memory. Does anyone have any advice to setting up a hynix 580 for best hashrates/power usage?

As far as the power shutdowns, i'm not sure whats causing that. I don't have any overclocking and this base setup shouldn't be too much for the 550w psu, so i'm thinking maybe a hardware issue? once I get that sorted out, I will go through each card one by one and set them up for the rig before trying all 6. I know there have been some updates on getting 580's to run with 6 cards, is the go to solution still to copy the older driver folder into the new one?

Any advice you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.
