Okay, after 3 months of mining during the last couple weeks rig has been freezing and the last line of the log file indicates:
GPU got incorrect temperature 511 ignore
Thoughts?
I got this error when one of the fans on an RX580 failed. I don't know how long it was running with one failed fan but when I noticed the failed fan the card was very very hot !
In that case, the temperature was so high that the card itself couldn't measure it and that's why you got GPU got incorrect temperature 511.
That's my guess.
No, the card didn't respond - so it returned an code meaning invalid, which is what you see.
Hey Wolf0 do you think this is a failing riser issue? I kinda ruled that out already because it takes days before this happen. I believe if it's a failing riser it would kinda happen right away?
I hate to think this is a GPU issue as they're barely 4 months old.
Make sure Windows didn't update the drivers automatically. On Windows 10 Pro you can set Windows Update to not include drivers. Type 'gpedit' in the search box and in the Group Policy Editor navigate to Administrative Templates ==> Windows Components ==> Windows Update and set 'Do not include drivers with Windows Update' to enabled.
Good man, thanks for sharing this! Appreciated.
IT DEFINITELY COULD BE A RISER--
Risers do not always fail immediately. The riser can overheat, or short within a connection, and fail to work properly. Have you tried the card in a motherboard without a riser? By itself? If you then get the same result, your card is bad. However, it could have failed because of a bad riser, a riser with a short, or with a component that failed due to heat.
Have you swapped a fresh riser into the system? Have you swapped risers in the system to see if the riser produces the same result on another card?
The "511" readout is not good news, but it does not automatically mean the card is dead. And, failing risers can damage a card. Other things to look for is cable friction against a fan, spacing between cards, or placing the card in a hot point within the system (not good). --scryptr
