Finally, made my ETH-rig stable (for more than a few hours).

The single most important thing I have learned over the past weeks/months, is that chasing the last Mh never pay off.

I have 2x RX 580 gaming X, 2x Vega56 (modded to 64) and 2x Vega64's. 580's have been stable at 30.6 all along, Vega 64 @ 44.2, but have really struggeled with the modded 56's. I think I have tried everything. Managed to get them to 44.1 for 4-6 hours, then suddely one (always the same card) had a Open CL call and needed to write a script to stop miner, disable/enable cards, restart miner etc. Just time-consuming and a lot of headace.

Now, I'm seeng higher shares reward at 225 Mh, than I ever had at 237 Mh.
Waiting for my 2 new 580's arriving next week.

BTW; Claymore; excellent miner with all the options/params needed. Only thing I noticed, is that over a certain period of time, the numer of shares at nanopool is higher than the number of shares in the miner. Maybe something I'm missing.

Cheers

What 580 gpu you having? Mind to share the parameter settings for the Rx580 to hash at 30MH/s?
Do you get high Stale shares? What motherboard are you using?


ASRock H110 BTC+
MSI RX 580 Gaming X 8GB (Hynix)
Used the BIOS from Anorak: https://anorak.tech/t/msi-rx-580-gaming-x-8gb-hynix/6917


Is there any advantage of using a BTC motherboard vs a normal motherboard? OS Windows10 Pro build 1709.  I am using the Asus Maximus Hero VIII and facing PC hangup in every 36 hours of continuous mining. High Stale shares from 8 to 15%.
Do you get high Stale shares?


I changed to H110 after about 2 months. Had ASUS Prime Z270-A - which gave me a lot of unstability with 6 cards. H110 was almost plug&Play Smiley
How do you measure stale shares?

Which pool you using? I am using ethermine pool. Dashboard will display Hashrate, Valid Shares, Stale Shares, Invalid Shares.
