Do you guys think it is save for me to try this miner on a remote rig? I don't have physical access to the rig right now and won't have for atleast a week so i need to be sure it doesn't crash or something and make my rig remotely unmanageable.
I would definitely not try this if you don't have any way to remotely control the rig (IPMI or a watchdog). Most AMD rigs mine memory-intensive algos like ETH or Cryptonight which don't put a lot of stress on the GPU. So when you run something compute-intensive like Lyra2rev2, there's a good chance that your OC won't be stable and you'll have to do some adjustments (core clock/voltage). You could easily get your rig frozen when you run this miner for the first time.
Thanks, i knew it would be a risky move but i didn't know tha lyra2rev2 would be compute intensive. My rig is OCed for ETH so you are probably right it would crash at running it. Will have to wait untill next week in order to try it out.
