with reference to 12 GPU rigs:

i have noticed using DSTM on my 12 gpu rigs that GPU number 7 and 11 are on noticeably wamer than the others by 5-10degrees.

 I FIND THIS REALLY STRANGE.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

This is nothing unusual, the temperature might differ even if you're using the same vendor/model. You could also check the GPU-utilization like it's reported by 'nvidia-smi' to make sure there are not software issues.

Thank you.
One more problem, miner reduces hash rates until almost zero but does not automatically reload or adjust accordingly as pool switches coin.  Not sure how to explain it. What can I do to resolve this. It only happens with DSTM and if I'm asleep it remains low for hours until I reload  manually.
Also some gpus drop to a far lower intensity than others but do not recover.
Happens on nicehash and miningpoolhub so I'm convinced it's the miner.
I'm fine with paying dev fees as long as I have good product support..


HELP SOMEONE.

I'm not sure what you're meaning by "as pool switches coin" and "intensity" - however this might help to resolve it.

Are you using some kind of software/script to launch zm? If so try to start zm without it.
The software might work not properly such that at some point you have multiple zm instances running using the same GPUs.

You can also check if your CPU load gets high at some point and what process is responsible for it.
What GPU-utilization does nvidia-smi roport after the drop?
