What's the biggest pool right now?  Just started on masterhash.  Also having a hard time finding the discord.

when i run with --asm, it only works one card, the others stay idle.  Any solution to this?  possibly run this card on one instance and my others on another?  If so how can that be done with bat file commands?

--asm is only mining with one card, any ideas?  Without it, it does all 4 just fine.

Anyone have an idea on how I can reduce power consumption?  I have two rx 580 sapphire nitro special edition cards and one msi rx  580 OC 8GB.  The nitros are pulling huge power and it seems like my cards don't respond to an undervolt or -% on power.  
Undervolting is the only way to significantly lower the power consumption.
What kind of adjustments need to be made if my 580s are crashing the miner?
Decrease clocks and/or increase voltage. That's the usual stuff to make GPUs stable.

At what intervals should I decrease voltage in mw?

So if I underclock my core GPU clock -10 at a time how much should I undervolt?

Do you guys think it is save for me to try this miner on a remote rig? I don't have physical access to the rig right now and won't have for atleast a week so i need to be sure it doesn't crash or something and make my rig remotely unmanageable.
I would definitely not try this if you don't have any way to remotely control the rig (IPMI or a watchdog). Most AMD rigs mine memory-intensive algos like ETH or Cryptonight which don't put a lot of stress on the GPU. So when you run something compute-intensive like Lyra2rev2, there's a good chance that your OC won't be stable and you'll have to do some adjustments (core clock/voltage). You could easily get your rig frozen when you run this miner for the first time.

What kind of adjustments need to be made if my 580s are crashing the miner?

Hi guys, it seems no matter what I do I can't get over 18 intensity with 3 rx 580 8GB, system just crashes at 19 or more.

EDIT: seems to be that the --asm was the problem with my cards.  Got rid of that and am now upping intensity by 1 and checking for stability.  Right now I'm at 22, going to try to hit 23 soon.  Getting much better hash rate now.
