Hello guys, I have a big question about this miner.
Every time I use it my rig crash, seems to me that something might be wrong with my settings.
With details, what happens is the following:
When the miner starts, and start to set the DAG epoch, specifically on the part that shows "Creating GPU buffer for GPUX", that's a very likely point for my rig to crash, it might crash, or it might not, is more like luck, if the computer freezes, then I manually restart it, if not I just let it mine, however, I will crash at some point, maybe in one hour (with is pretty annoying because I will have to restart it multiple times in order to pass the setting dag epoch without crashing), or maybe it will last more, sometimes it last even two days, but it will crash without a doubt.
What can be wrong?, I have used the CryptoNight Claymore miner, and is a lot more stable, I remember I mined monero with it for 7 days in a row without any problem (with a 100% chance to pass the set of the dag), and also I have used SGMiner without any crash problem too.
My cards are 6x Asus RX 470 4Gb, I don't think is a PSU problem because as I said, it works perfectly when using another miner, but my PSU is a 1200w corsair HX 1200i.
Also, my system is using 24gb of virtual memory and have 4gb of RAM.
Any help will be appreciated.
A little bit more info might be helpfull; OS you are using, Claymore settings, BIOS modded or not, Overclocked/Undervolted ? Are you dual mining ?
Remember Ethash takes about 20%-30% more power than Cryptonote and dual mining will stretch your PSU even more, but that said 1200W should be just about enough for Ethash/Dual mining. A good thing would be to measure power at-the-wall with a cheap power meter to see if you're not over stressing the PSU.
Well, I'm using Windows 10 and my cards are all bios modded and with 1120/2000 on clocks (core/memory), I have never tried to lower the memory clock, it might work?
