Hi, i would like to ask about Biostar TB85 that i have, and 6x Rx580 asus dual fan.After almost two weeks i cannot make it stable. It stucks sometimes when creating DAG file and other times after some hours mining with Gpu card hang and the system restarts or freezes.Default clocks.I tried rizers to other pc and they work fine.Tried different usb cables,Ethos,simpliming os, it seems randomized faults. Sometimes all 6 cards mining and after some minutes or hours some stopped. I even changed the battery of the motherboard to just try it.Plugged in the 2 molex power on the motherboard. I'm out of ideas. I'm fearing that the motherboard is faulty or something. I have another one plugged in 6x 1070 in Windows 7 and works almost flawlessly.

If you can help me i would appreciate it.
Thanks

I've got the TB85 with 6x Furys, it took me forever to get it stable, and to tell you the truth it's not even that stable now.  I've got a cron job rebooting it every six hours because it likes to just lock up even with a watchdog script running.  What are you BIOS settings?  I used this guide https://blockoperations.com/configuring-bios-settings-gpu-mining-intel-motherboards/ but the three settings that you need to set are:

  • PCI Latency timer to 96 PCI Bus clocks
  • Set all 6 PCIe slots to GEN2
  • Its overkill, but I set the PCIEX_16_1 - Gen X setting to GEN 2 as well (its supposed to set all 6 other PCIe slots to GEN2

Hard resets end up resetting my BIOS settings so having the reboot cron job helped eliminate that.
