Same question as before but with pictures, miner is hashing away when suddenly the whole OS slows down to a snail pace where i have to wait for 20 seconds for every action to go through and the hash rate is cut by 50% with the GPUs doing this strange hashing pattern:

Please advise, this happens on any pool i try, in both dual mining and ETH only mode, across multiple overclocks..

This is a soft crash; if you have already tried lower OC; it is most likely being caused by too low of a powerlimit.

What GPUs / clocks / powerlimits are you using?

7 x gigabyte 1070 FE, each at 120 pl and clocked +200/+1600, turns out this also happens in ETH only mode, not just dual mining.

any suggestions?


If you want to keep that OC, you will need more power. 120 is not enough to maintain that OC (based on from my experience with my 1070s) I had to give them at least 135-145 to do +200/1600 solo mining ETH.

i see, i was going by UberDaemon's settings since i ended up getting the same parts as his build.

I have dialed my 1070 FE cards back a bit in order to find higher stability.  My current settings below have been running on my 1070 FE rig for 121 hours (for ETH-only mining):

core OC: 0 (I see absolutely no hashrate increase when mining ETH and OCing core speed)
Mem OC: 1450

Power Limit: 120W

Fan speed 90% (these Founders Ed. cards run very hot compared to my EVGA and MSI cards.  I had one die on me a few days ago after running avg temps of 62C.  I don't know if it was heat-related, but I bumped up my fan speeds after that just in case).



One died with avg temps of 62?!? holy hell i've been running these fuckers at 70c round the clock! these are an overheating nightmare indeed, i've been planing on buying 4 140mm case fans and slapping them on the intake side of the rid, cant hurt...
