Hey there, having an issue with most of my rigs with what I'm struggling for days now, wanted to give it a shot and post here to see if someone has an answer.

Got 5 rigs with this setup:

MB: ASROCK H81 PRO BTC rev 2.0
CPU: Intel Celeron
PSU: Antec 750W Gold
GPUs: 6x Gigabyte GTX 1050ti 4GB
Risers: 6x 16x USB Molex powered risers.
OS: nvOC v0017
Clocks: 150/600
Coin: ZEC

Few rigs with:
MB: ASROCK H81 PRO BTC rev 2.0
CPU: Intel Celeron
PSU: Antec 750W Gold
GPUs: 3x Gigabyte GTX 1050ti 4GB and 3x Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB
Risers: 6x 16x USB Molex powered risers.
OS: nvOC v0017
Clocks: 150/600
Coin: ZEC

Rigs crashing all the time, most crash with GPU1 stopped working, then they crash one by one. Sometimes they exit with thread errors.

What I've tried:

1. Lowering the clocks
2. Using the default clocks
3. Using Powerlimit (Both lowering and increasing from it's default value by 5-15W)
4. Powering the PCI buses with 2x Molex connectors to the both (With and without it)
5. Swapping the risers on GPU that crashed first
6. Swapping the GPU that crashed first
7. Swapping the PSU
8. Powering 2x GPUs per PSU cable
9. Using Auto/Gen1/Gen2 for PCI bandwidth speed

Currently, Im out of ideas what to do. Anyone has a suggestion?

Try running one graphics card in the full slot (if they have a full slot) and run it for, see it lasts half an hour, then add a second one.. preferably in a full slot (before trying screw around with risers and stuff) and build up with half an hour intervals seeing at what point cards become unstable.. It may be PSU isnt able to supply the power and when it hits its thermal switch it brings down the output.. killing your cards.. locking up the system..

Hello - Really enjoying this OS - Top efforts on making this and making it free !

I am in tthe process of updating to 17 and all the goodies it'll bring ! however just putting my 2c into this build!

firslty one of the few mods I made to the Bash file overall are as follow and can really see a benifit for all users -

Firstly I have created a varible at the top which sets the name of every currency to the same name - great since I have about 5 rigs running at present and with one line can change rig name, much quicker and updating names makes debugging so much easier

I have also plugged in at the top with a breif wait after a quick ping to the servers I am mining from, really hand for problem testing -

thirdly, I have added the dual mining rate as a variable at the top, allowing a default setting instead of adjusting it down or hardcoding one in, easier to tweak it across entire mining network..

Something I am trying to fix up though is I mostly use claymore miner, and claymore miner outputs a rather nice logfile which I plan on running a push system in nvOC to send that data to an actual server Im running for debuggin and stats, however I noticed the hardcoded dbg for no logfile output, im trying to change this to outtput logs however having some difficulty with it :S id really like claymores single logfile option where it just adds new data to a log file however it doesnt seem to be running well - oh well will keep trying !

Really awesome job overall !!!  Cheers!
