Any pointers on getting a miner that is stable for RVN?

I've tried a few of them that are linked in the ANN thread.  I think they're all ccminer variants.  None of them will run longer than 10 minutes without crashing my rig, rigs that are stable 24/7 for days mining Zcash with EWBF's Zcash CUDA miner. 0.3.4b.

I have found that I have to reduce the core OC by 20 or 25 on Linux to make Enemy ccminer stable with 1070 and 1080 Ti rigs compared to what I use for equihash. Since RVN is a mix of 16 algos, finding the sweet spot is a challenge.

I still use the latest enemy build in SMOS and it works great.

However, if you mine at Suprnova, you can use the inhouse Suprnova Miner - it can do x16R (RVN) and x16S (PIGN) - works as good as the other miners and best thing is no dev fee! Its also listed in SMOS, otherwise download at https://github.com/ocminer/suprminer

The X16R algo that RVN uses will push your cards and PSU to the peak - "R" for random.

The X16S algo that PIGN uses however, was designed to normalise X16R and smoothen the hash peaks and power spikes - "S" for shuffle.
