Yes this seems to be pretty unique...

Card does not go over 60 degrees.

Anyone have a suggestion I have not tried? I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Have two rigs, one dedicated to mining (4x470x and a 1070) and my gaming rig with a 1080 and 280x.

I upgraded my monitor on my gaming rig and all of the sudden my 280x would no longer mine Equihash. Thought nothing of it as it's an old card and has put in it's time and some so i simply removed it leaving my 1080 all by itself.

Now since the monitor upgrade my 1080 starts mining at ~550/sol but if my computer goes idle (no input from 10-25 minutes it varies) it drops to 240-300/sol. This rig has been going strong with no issues for a long time literately the only thing that changed was my monitor. Quite baffled.
Checked my power settings and everything was fine, no sleep, no power throttling anywhere. Set the monitor to not turn off, still see the drop in hashing.
I really don't understand how a peripheral can impact my machine so much.
Anyone else had anything like this happen before? The new monitor has Gsync but cannot imagine that making a difference.

GPU:1080 @195/700
mobo: MAXIMUS-VIII-HERO
PSU 750W
OS WIN 10
Risers: none
Mining software: EWBF
New monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG278QR 27in WQHD 165Hz 1ms G-SYNC

Steps i have tried so far:
-Tried updating drivers and problem still persists, after idle hash power drops by 40-50% until I move the mouse etc
-Connected the old monitor to have both the 21" and 27" at the same time no change.
-Revisited the power setting for the performance profile and confirmed that there is nothing throttled or turning off after any amount of time.
-Unplugged new monitor from GPU same results. After a period of 15-30 minutes hashing power is reduced 40-50%
-Looked at the MSI afterburner logs and there is no difference in power,usage,clock speeds in the periods where the Hashing is normal and where it is retarded.
-Reinstallation of Win 10 has not fixed the issue.
-Disabled G-Sync, no change in behaviour
-Temps never over 60

Should Include 1 UBQ with them as well.

Help yourself. It's simple to do and there are MANY videos that walk you through it.

Why are all these noobs refusing to help themselves.

Or SEGWIT tension causes a large dip to the BTC price approaching Aug 1 and everything else craters.

But my CC has 3% cash back ignore the 25% interest it carries!!! THREE PERCENT CASH BACK!!! free money.

Isn't this an English forum?

Wait. So how is it PoW if it's all premined?¿

Thanks for clearing that up. Could you point me to the reddit post? Would appreciate it. Thanks.

So did the dev mine for a week before the ANN was put up?

Says no premine but he has 1000 to distribute and the block reward is less than 2 coins every 2 minutes.

Not adding up.

What I first thought when I read the title was a game that while you played it would be mining using the engine.

Would be interesting and at least put some of the wasted power to use that POW creates.

I don't believe you are the first to think of this I recall someone in 2014/15 rolling around the idea but unfortunately I don't recall the name of the coin(s).

Good luck.

Google is free.

Was this ever "Encoded"? Seems just like a plug for his crappy blog.

Have one of these and love it. Comes with a USB-USB Header to connect to the MOBO and with Corsair Link you can see the power usage without another device.
Nice feature.

And here I am using a milk crate i got from the supermarket under the guise that my kid needed it for a science project...

I have:

ACCESSKEY = 123456
WORKER = SERVER
REMOTE = YES
MINER = CLAYMORE-DUAL
CPU = NO
VNC = NO

Online I did select dual mine for this worker I enabled Dual mining and pasted in the info that I use when I use the miner directly. Likely just me but this software sure makes me feel stupid lol.

This was my first attempt to use this.

Trying to use ETH+DCR.
Pasted in the cmd I use locally in the online settings.
I do not believe it started to mine at all.

Trying to use this tool but it refuses to start. it keeps telling me to enable the Remote Web Server but it is running. I click the link in the port area and it shows it in a browser. I forwarded the port to the correct PC.

Not sure what else this thing wants. It says HardwareMonitor log file does not exist.

Anyone else have this issue?
