Hey man

I've got a 6 card rig.

I had a bit of a nightmare getting it all running but after a bit of research I finally got it figured out.

I use a Biostar tb250 btc pro motherboard
6 x sapphire rx vega 64's
2 x 120gb ssd drives
6 x pcie risers
corsair hx1200 & hx1000 PSU's
8gb corsair Ram
G4400 CPU (as it has igfx)

To get everything to work stable I had to do the following;

1. setup the rig without the vega's in it
2. install windows & reboot
3. install motherboard drivers & reboot
4. set my bios to use igfx as primary display drivers & reboot
5. set virtual memory to 110gb (basically use 1 ssd as vram) & reboot
6. connect all vega cards
7. Install blockchain drivers & reboot
8. configure my overclocking / undervolting
9. setup the miner
10. mine

I found that when I used less that 16gb of virtual memory for each card in the rig it would mine for a few hours and then freeze, after some looking around I found a few guys who told me about the 16gb per card virtual memory setting and it's run stable ever since.

Hop this helps man





VM to 110gb is just poor info man, its not needed and does no good, does more bad than good actually
