Sorry, one more question.

I've got a new mining rig I'm setting up.. I have a Thermaltake 1000 and Thermaltake 750 psu. I have a power "splitter" connected with the 1000 being the primary that powers the motherboard. Second psu seems to power up fine. For some reason, any card connected to the secondary PSU powers up (RGB lights come on), but no initial fan spin at all like the other cards. Never recognized in OS. If I just change the power to come from the primary PSU, fan spins and card comes up fine. I've tried with 2 different 750s as secondary and both do the same thing. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong??

Hmm.. Ok..  So here's what I'm looking at..  Do you think I can just reset the bios to the factory settings?  Since I bought it used, not sure what may have already been done..  I'm using OverdriveNTool to for my settings...  Here's a pic of what I'm getting currently..

Quick question.  Just picked up a used Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT card.  It's seems to be running considerably hotter then all my other 5700XT cards.  Fan seems to run at about 90% with MemTemp at 82.  Other cards are running 30-50% at 80.  Only thing that looks different on this card is the SocMHZ is at 1227 and the others are 1000 or less..

Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated..

Re: PhoenixMiner 2.6: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Windows)

So I figured I'd give Phoenix a try.  I installed 2.7b and ran for about 18hrs..  Obviously, this isn't a good complete comparison, but wanted to take a look.

Here are my thoughts after this short test.
Displayed hash rates were slightly higher, but this was too short to be meaningful
I really liked the additional info in the console screen.  # of shares found for each card, 5min average hash, etc.
Very easy to setup and start.  No problems at all...

Here's where I had an issue.  I'm currently running a single rig with 5 RX580s.  (One is in the "shop" for repairs).  Everything seemed to be stable last night when I set it up..  When I woke up this morning, I noticed one of my cards was running at 28Mh/s instead of it's normal 31+.  I looked and it had reset it's settings..  I use OverdriveNTool and it's been extremely reliable for OC and undervolting.  So I thought maybe it was a fluke, so shut down miner and restarted and everything was running fine..  Went out this morning and when I got back, that one card had reset again..  I'm not sure if it's resetting during the dev fee mining or what, but it has reset twice in 18 hours..  Same card..  So I have switched back to Clay for now..  If there is some debug logging I can turn on, I'm happy to help diagnose the issue. 

The card resetting is a Sapphire Nitro+.  I also have 2 XFX and 2 Gigabyte cards and they kept running fine...  I'm using the default batch file settings that came with the download other than adding the call to my "overclock.bat" file that loads my OverdriveNTool settings at mining startup.

I'm open to any suggestions...  I love the lower dev fee and additional info, but stability has to be the top priority for me..

Keep up the good work and let me know if I can help figure this out...

Thanks,
Russel
