Is anybody else experiencing nvOC hang / lockup to the point of needing a hard powerdown when Genoil crashes? I can log in but when I try to close the miner and shutdown the OS becomes locked up. I am wondering if it is hardware related? I am only using 4GB of ddr4 is that enough??? I believe I will be going back to Claymore. I can't seem to get Genoil stable even dialed 300mc back from Claymore. I will reimage a USB stick and go back to Claymore to see if stability comes back.
Having more ram would probably help; I use 8gb on most of my rigs and I have achieved multi day stability with the ones that are using genoil by previously lowing the clocks / adjusting the powerlimits whenever a soft crash occurred.
On a 4 x 1060 rig I use 1.1GB of RAM. On a 6 x 1060 rig I use 1.3GB of RAM. Unless there are spikes of memory usage or a memory leak somewhere, I don't see why 4GB would be more than enough. It certainly shouldn't have any effect on Genoil stability. Genoil seems to give comparable/better hash rates even with lower clocks and power limits than Claymore requires. I've found that dropping the clocks has definitely increased stability without reducing hash rate.
