What GPU are you using? cause some of them use Overclock setting as stock, and care to post your miner .bat settings so I could see what you have set, cause I believe there are some stability commands to type in depending on your card.

Here are my settings and afterburner setting. by the way I have also edited the bios.
4 Asus RX480 4gb

.bat settings
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal ----------------------------------------  -epsw x -etht 1000 -mode 1 -ftime 10

Im no expert on these things,but here are some things you could play around with to see if you get more stability.

- Try updating your drivers to a more recent version.

- As a few people said above, your friend has found a stable clock settings, so you could try using        the standard clock and increase it till you hit your desired hashrate/stability.

- Make sure it's using asm algorithm and you could try controlling your speeds with -dcri command.

- And the last thing I could think of is sometimes you can get instability issues from incorrectly installed or poorly modified bios. You could use this guide to flash them properly: http://1stminingrig.com/best-bios-rom-sapphire-nitro-rx-480-8gb-oc-mine-ethereum-30-mhs/


I have read the guide  that you recommended and thanks a lot, but this guide for GPUs which have Samsung ram. My GPUs have hynix. Is thre a big different , can I follow this guide for my hynixs as well ?

I am not expert as well but its clear that you are better than me Smiley what is -dcri command ?




I see no problem at all with what you posted. What exactly is the problem?

Mining isnt a flat line, you may just think that because some pools do smoothing on the curves so that it looks nicer.

For example:

my friend`s rig is also working in the same pool, but its like a flat line. i have asked him for the hashrate information. when i get i will post here. the thing is, his rig finds more than mine. my ring sometimes finds more but sometimes low.
