The new AMD Adrenaline drivers now allow more than 8 GPUs to run on the Asrock H110 pro btc mobo. But when I try running 9 GPUs on CC Miner its a mess - it seems to recognise all 9 GPUs but then at least 2 cards run at 0 H/s and then others hang. The blockchain driver won't work with more than 8 GPUs.
Will the next version be able to support the newer AMD drivers?
*edit* Nevermind! I just split them between 2 instances of the miner and its works perfectly now.

Re: Get Blockchain Driver working with more than 8 Gpus? is there a way?
From my research, you can't. The August blockchain driver will not run more than 8 GPUs. Someone on this thread explains it...

AMD updated the kernel in 17.10+ to support > 8 GPUs on Windows10. Ethash/DaggerHashimoto mining efficiency is incorporated into the 17.11+ drivers, but not for CryptoNight or NeoScrypt.
If you're mining Ethash/DaggerHashimoto , then you can move to 17.10+
If you're mining CryptoNight/NeoScrypt, then stick with Aug23 blockchain drivers

Just added my 9th card and have started having problems. I'm using the 17.12.1 Adrenaline driver and can get all 9 cards recognised but 1 out of the 9 only runs at half hashrate. Just working through the suggestions here to see if I can improve it.
One thing I'm finding is that when using the AMD settings app to switch the cards to compute, it runs really slow. I saw a suggestion that a better CPU is needed - I currently have a G3900 - can anyone suggest the minimum I should be looking at?

Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners
I've set up a managed miner for cast-xmr and put the pool and wallet address in the pool configuration. But when I start the miner it says no pool is defined. Does it not pick the details up from the pool config for cast-xmr?
Nevermind, I've worked it out. The wallet address needs to be in the user field.Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners

Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners
I'm having problems trying to list the GPUs in the correct order in Awesome Miner so they match the order on the miner (in this case Zecminer). I've tried all sorts of configurations in the 'Map to system monitoring' screen but I just can't get it to work.
Is there a trick to getting it right?!

Is HWINFO supposed to be able to pick up changes to clock speeds on the fly?
I had a couple of cards throwing out lots of memory errors so with HWINFO and the miner running I reduced the speeds but the memory errors kept increasing. So I stopped the miner, set the lower clock speeds and no more memory errors.
To test it further I then increased the clock speeds back up to the high setting that was originally throwing errors, but this time no errors showed in HWINFO.

Is this an issue with HWINFO?
I've got my MSI cards up to an acceptable hash rate but I'm seeing some GPU memory errors in HWINFO. Despite the errors, the mining is stable and there are little to no rejected shares. So if its mining away quite happily, do the GPU errors really matter? I've read a few other places but opinions are very mixed on the subject.
These cards are so random! I've managed to get the Gigabyte RX580's up to around 890H/s. But the new MSI Armor 580's with uber mix strap 3.1 are only pushing 818 H/s!! I thought they would do much better.
This is a frustrating hobby!!

Apparently some folks don't have the compute option turned on.

I found this for all you folks who don't use Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit.

I bet MS had to twist their arm to get them to do that...

it does take some testing and patience to find the right mix for your rigs for sure. I was very lucky to get most of my rigs built back when MSI 470 4GB gaming GPUs were readily available for under $200. Now is a much dicier proposition due to severe shortages of most models/types of GPUs.
One thing i will mention is that there are many seasoned miners that avoid the MSI Armor series at all costs. The consensus is that while almost all other MSI cards are great for mining, the Armor line does not match up, not even for the slightly cheaper price say vs their gaming model. This is further proven out by the fact that those Armor cards always seem to be among the last in stock when the GPU supply chain has completely gone under.
Anyway, I also thing Armor come in 4GB max, and at this point, i would recommend not buying any more 4GB cards for mining. Much better to go at least 8GB, even if you are sticking with 570/580's. Much better for future proofing.

I'm not sure if anyone has actually said they are getting 1000 H/s with a Gigabyte card, they don't seem to be that good of a make. The best I have managed with my Gigabyte Aorus 8Gb RX580's is 872 H/s.My setup:

Well my powered PCIE risers arrived and with both Gigabyte Aorus RX580's connected with them, my hash rate has gone up from 831 to 872 H/s each 
My 2 x MSI Armor RX580's have also arrived and I'm just about to install them.

They do. Hynix is not such a bad memory.
I have a bunch of RX 570 4GB cards with different Hynix memory types and they all run between 970 and 980 h/s @1200/2000.
Most can be bumped well over 1k h/s, but it's not very effective consumption wise.
All you need is the right custom made strap that's all, which you can get online for the right price i guess or if someone wants to make them for you.
Maybe the 580 8GB ones can even push 1.2k if Wolf is behind the wheel, but i haven't gotten that far yet, most i can push out of Hynix memory is about 1060 h/s, but you need higher voltage for that, mostly beyond 920mV.
Same story with Micron & Elpida memory, you just need a good strap.
I prefere keeping them at 1200/2000@860-880mV, runs cool and power efficient
Which make 580's do you have? Any made by Gigabyte? From everything I've read, most Hynix cards can be ok, apart from the ones made by Gigabyte that just don't seem to perform quite as well.I have a bunch of RX 570 4GB cards with different Hynix memory types and they all run between 970 and 980 h/s @1200/2000.

With a bit of tweaking I've managed to get my Aorus Hynix 580's up to 838 H/s. Can't seem to squeeze any more out of them.
However with the same settings they can now achieve a stable 30.1 Mh/s dual mining ETH which is roughly 5 Mh/s more than I was getting from them to start with!
I just don't think the Gigabyte cards are that good. They only have a single strap setting in the bios (0:xxxx) rather than the 1:xxxx and 2:xxxx other 580s have. Not sure of this is a sign of their inferiority or not?
I've just ordered a couple of MSI Armor 580's which are supposed to perform better so will see what I can do with them when they arrive.

The same situation, but i cant even reach 860 h/s.
Recently i bought 5 Asus Dual OC RX 580 8gb with hynix memory. I flashed it with uber mix straps, in stock it showed 570 h/s, after flashing - 772 h/s. Changing cclock and mclock hash only a slight effect. With cclock 1100 it shows 760 h/s and with 1360 - 772 h/s. Exactly the same situation with mclock. MSI Afterburner and wattman show that clocks change correctly. I also tried to change -dmem and -h, -dmem 0 decreases hashrate to 550 h/s, changing -h has no effect. MB - BIOSTAR TB250-BTC.
I also have another 1 rig that runs 3 Asus Dual OC rx 580 8gb with samsung memory and 2 asus dual oc rx 580 4gb with elpida memory.
I was able to get stable 1020 hashes with 8gb version (cclock 1330, mclock 2000) with samsung memory and 925 hashes with 4gb version with elpida memory. MB - AsRock Z170 Extreme 3.
I tried differrent miners with different settings - no effect, the hashrate even lower.
Mb smb can help me with an advice?
I've read so much advice in the last few days and it just seems like the Hynix memory is inferior to the Samsung. If you also have an inferior make of card (I've now realised that the Gigabyte RX580's I have are not the best) AND Hynix memory, you're pretty much stuffed.Recently i bought 5 Asus Dual OC RX 580 8gb with hynix memory.

I'm using Gigabyte Aorus RX580's and just can't get past 831 H/s per card.
This is my first rig and the riser cards didn't turn up (thanks Amazon!!) so I can only run one card at a time at the moment plugged directly in to the mobo. Can the hash rates increase once I have them attached via the riser cards?
I realise now these were not the best choice of RX580s out there but is anyone else with an Aorus seeing better results?
