Hey guys just wanted to let you know this works in Win10x64 LTSB so you don't have to use the bloated Pro version.  

I've moved on to HiveOS though and love it much more.  But it's worth noting.  Also to get afterburner to see it just reboot the computer after the drivers are installed for 9th card.  Same as you have to do with less cards.

I'm formatting my drives so here's a pic while I can for you pic people. Wink  It does work.

I don't know if the special upgrade included in the fall creators pack was included in some smaller update, LTSB doesn't gets loads of updates like other windows versions or if it matters on the kind of adapters used.  

I'm using these adapters: https://www.amazon.com/MintCell-Adapter-Mining-Ethereum-Monero/dp/B077F4VCHR/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MTJPG2N52QZ5TRC0J5YY

It made more sense to me to use those since each risers still gets individual power vs the adapters that share the power.

I use win10 64 1709 pro debloated. Asus B250 mining expert with 13 RX580 GPUs. Virtual mem. set to 80 GB on my SSD. Output with claymore 11.3 on nanopool is 398.5 mh/s and phoenix 2.7c is 396-397 mh/s. no faults or errors. just stable mining. However profits are dwindling fast it seems. All altcoins constantly going down compared to the USD.
