if your getting crashes/hangs your pushing too hard with the clocks vs voltages

you can adjust in overdrivent while minning. start at 1200/900 and work your way up to 1466/960... with the memory you can go upto to 1105/910 (clock/voltage)

it depends on the individual card - silicon lottery

if your only getting 1400hs  you need to enable/disable each card... you can use device manager or much better is to use a devcon script.. if your getting crashes when enable or disable cards check the riser usb, power and pcie cables for that card

use the onboard video connector and virtual memory needs to be 10gb per card

using castxmr you should easily get 1900+ per card

using the b110 BTC+ im at 8 vegas


What are your P7 / P3 states & mv settings?

What's the total hashing rate for all 8 cards after the miner has run for a while?  Just curious.

P7 is 1466/960
memory P3 1105/905

15855 H/s over 24 hours

error 43 could be a riser problem if the card is proven to be working

have you changed the pcie speed (gen1/gen2) in bios?

hi
use amdcleanup tool
if you have flashed to the vega 64 bios use the registry edit file from the yourtube guide RX Vega 64 Undervolting Guide for Blockchain Drivers - Part 2.
go device manager and remember the driver key numbers under rx vega properties then details...
apply the registry edit with the driver key numbers... reboot
use overdrive nt and set the p7 1407 and 841 for voltage, memory set to 1100 and volts to 805
run cast, u should get 1700+ at least maybe 1970 depends on the individual card

i can confim the h110 PRO btc+ handles 7 vegas and rx480 no problems @ 1240w

ill try 8 tomorrow night

Hi R0mi, thanks for linking the page. I've gone through the page and can still only get five out of the six Vega 64s working. Same situation, I get five running and when I try to add the sixth I get the BSOD. Ideas? Windows 10 updated. Ideas?

i wasted 4 hours to this yesterday

on a z170 msi carbon gaming, i can only get 5 vegas running then i add a 6th and BSOD.. BUT i can get 6 running vegas running with a rx480 in slot 1..


I've got four on there right now - no issues. Ordered another 2 vegas last night so we'll see if I can get 6 running, seems the more you add the more issues people have.

Be aware this board requires three additional power connectors. 2 molex and 1 sata and supposedly three different cables. Though, from what I've read you can skip the extra sata, and use one molex to power both additional molex's on the board. That kinda caught me off guard.

this worries me, keep us posted

Re: Any word on amd vega hash rates?

Ok, so I downloaded and made my Devcon folder with the text batch file provided online.  It does indeed disable and re-enable my cards.  Now this batch file will do this automatically every time the hash rate drops correct?

Another issue before even calling that a success though... once I run the devcon file it resets everything, but then in cast-xmr the vega's don't get renabled.  They just show they are getting 0/hs.  Do I need another batch file or something to have cast-xmr restart or re-detect the cards?

Code:
timeout /t 3
devcon.exe disable "*687F"
timeout /t 3
devcon.exe enable "*687F"
timeout /t 3

this will disable and re enable all vegas only

the lighting up on bios is a good sign, sometimes i get one card that doesnt light. a quick reboot and its back.

check you risers - these were the main cause of my problems

have u installed the chipset drivers for the mother board?

do the cards light up (single red light) when the bios screen loads???
you are using on-board graphics? and have disabled crossfire?

nice hash I find a PITA.. you might need to add opencl 1 option..
I would swap cards and risers about and see of the problem follows the swapping.
To test i use cast-xmr,  you can run one instance per card. option --gpu then the card number

if your Vegas are all the same windows shouldnt need to install the drivers again when you swap about..

keep us posted

i would start by getting one then two cards setup and plugged into the motherboard not by risers and then add the others one by one

60gb will start windows. you will need more space for the virtual memory
on a 6 vega and 1 rx480 rig, system information shows 50gb virtual memory is being used out of 120gb available

the risers i binned have a light blue pcie connector ver 002

do the cards light on system start or when there first detected by windows?

hit
windows key + R
run msinfo32

if BIOS mode is legacy, this causes problems changing GPU'S

i feel your pain i spent many hours over many days on my first rig..

what risers do you have? VER 0002 and flaky with vega so i binned them for VER 0003 and 0006

do you have a SSD or traditional HDD?

problems i see with the setup guide

in bios set all pcie slots to gen2, then in boot - enable csm and set all options to uefi

you will need to reinstall windows if it doesnt boot

when complete disable windows update then
shutdown
insert first vega first full size slot and install blockchain drivers
shutdown
install all other vega firstly into the next full size slot then any others
boot windows it should load desktop but then freezes for a minute while it detect and install the drivers for the first card.

Just wait a little... r boxes take a few seconds to show up, especially if you have multiple... best thing run cgminer first then plug in

Probably someone connect via SSH to the Ant and edit cgminer config (/etc/config/cgminer). Some routers have this port open by default.
Go to http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and check SSH port (22) is open. If open , close it, and most of all change default password  to the Ant.


this is my conclusion as well....

caused by poor security/complacency and leaving passwords on default  Shocked

the miner affected was on the default IP connected with a bunch of others S1's to a hub then to the internet router.
this could happen to someone else?
