Hello,
I am using Ethos and would like to run claymore with 6 gpu
hope someone could point me in the right direction here (please !)
You have to believe me here when i say that i have tried absolutley everything
i have read here but i just cannot get 6 gpu working with this motherboard.
With Claymore each gpu is at least 2 mh/s faster
With ethminer i can run 5 stable(3 days)
with both sgminer and claymore's the 6 gpu will start up and hash at 27 or so and the cut down to 4
after 1 or 2 minutes.
With sgminer it also does me the courtesy of telling me that the 2 gpu are sick then dead.
This can be with any card in any slot,it always changes.
I think somehow that that is the important part ?
All cards and risers work fine and have been checked in different slots,different risers,individually,
in groups and any combination you can think of.
All the info on here i can find i have followed.
So that's 4 gpu with claymore and sgminer,
and 5 with ethminer.
This is my first build and i have really enjoyed it so far,im looking forward to making more hopefully.
but i have now been banging my head against a brick wall for 2 weeks now(starting to make a mess)
Anyway i hope someone here has a clue for me.
Cheers
Provide more information about your setup: makes, models, versions, parameters, screenshots, troubleshooting steps taken...
Sorry i forgot to post this bit:
Operating system:Ethos
mobo:Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON (MS-7A12)
ram:4g
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G3900 @ 2.80GHz
drive_name: KINGSTON SV300S37A120G
GPU: 6x XFX rx480 8g one of which is the gtr black edition.
PSU: Corsair hx1200i
I have the same PSU, GPUs and CPU... Different MB and Win10. 6 cards in each rig. I have Z170 MB which I use for testing. If I have a spare time I might try to run 6 cards on it. If I were you I would try to seriously downvolt and downclock the cards, let us say half speed, to make sure that this is not related to current, voltage and temperature. If 6 runs with minimal speed than you can rule out drivers, OS, power and etc. I have seen comments that Z170A are the most problematic when it comes to 5+ cards. Have you tried another mobo?
