mining on windows is nothing but headache and way too much work, with the number of riggs you are dealing with is a full time job and than some. the down time alone will eat up your profit quickly if i were you i would look into some linux distros like ethos smos.

i am a hobby miner IT guy myself and been testing mmpOS and i really like it it's been super stable for my AMD cards

Best of luck!

about your power cost, is it 10 cents or 1 cent?
most power companies in US charge extra premium after 1000KW or so, is yours a fixed amount?
It's a fixed amount but PA is weird They charge a 'supplier rate' and 'Distribution rate' So while my Supplier rate is .04599c/Kw hr the distribution is what it costs to get that power to my house. So my total is .10C/kw. There is no Seasonal rate or anything.
Claymore straps are fine, 32 mh/s for my Micron babies with Claymore straps is the best I could ever get from them.

I wish all the luck to the topic starter, 10c per kWh doesn't sound attractive though


How many GPUs do you have per rig using Claymore straps? I can't get more than 5 to work. No idea why.

I am really sorry to disappoint you now, but I am running 12 AMD GPU rig almost with no problems. Uptime is around 6 days. Using Windows (as it's free and straps are working; once strap function is available in HiveOS I might switch to it).

My setup is a little different though; MOBO is Gigabyte's

upd: I re-checked your first post and haven't found anything about your MOBO lol. I had a feeling you use different one or mentioned it in some other post.. w/e

my piece of advice is to distinguish each GPU's bios and put GPUs with the same bios in the same rig.

This would help you to flash them much easier.
