Hey,

Always be careful when putting more than 4 GPUs on these motherboards. They dont have additional power going to the motherboard, you might fry it. I wouldnt push beyond 4 GPUs with the one you currently have.

If you are going with more builds, I would recommend one of these:

1)ASRock-H81-Pro-BTC-LGA-1150-Intel-H81
My first choice, two additional molex connectors for the motherboard, helping the stability and mining performance. We have many like this one, 0 problems with specific one. It is handling 6 GPUs like a charm. The only problem, I couldn't find it anywhere else than eBay. Such as: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ASRock-H81-Pro-BTC-LGA-1150-Intel-H81-HDMI-SATA-6Gb-s-ATX-Intel-Motherboard-/112007798106?hash=item1a142f5d5a:g:dQUAAOSwF0NXLaS7

2)ASRock H97 Anniversary LGA 1150 Intel H97
My 2nd choice, there is one additional molex connector for the motherboard. We also have several of this one, they are sometimes complicated, but works properly as well with 6 GPUs. The big plus for this model: you can still order it on newegg. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157564&cm_re=asrock_1150-_-13-157-564-_-Product

Hope this helps!

Would you happen to know of any affordable motherboard with, oh, let's say 3+ X16 slots? The ASrock board seems great, but then I end up having to set up racks and whatnot, vs just setting them on top of boxes with the cards directly in the motherboard. I do have 3 risers coming in, so I suppose I could set up a whole other rig with one of those boards, while having one card directly in the mobo...

I've already set up a rig with 2 cards in an LGA755 mobo and it seems to be alright, but only because I got the whole thing for a good price, so it made sense. But having more cards directly in one mobo would def be preferred...

My 7850 has always shown 64% usage - I've never seen it go higher.  I've no idea why the card doesn't max out, I figured this was normal.  If you find a way to get your cards to 100% utilization, I'd be interested to know what you did.

my r9 290 eth 30
its normal?

I'm getting 11.8MH/s Eth, 189 MH/s DCR with 1050/1450 clocks, -dcri 32 in Win10.  Seems we're pretty similar.

ok here is a strange one for you windows 10

a bunch of my rigs rebooted this week all at different times and the claymore executable is deleted.

to get the rigs working again i have to re-download the calymore executable and the DLLs

could this be a virus of some kind? these are all windows 10 boxes.

Ahh thanks , another question since you seem to know a bit about windows, i have no password on my boxes and for some reason

because of that i cant have the miner start on login using a scheduled task since it needs a secured account.

I also tried adding the shortcut to startup folder but it still wont start , same goes for MSI afterburner windows 10 refuses to let these apps load on startup.

I don't remember encountering issue like this one before.
Are you logged on local account as administrator? Have you tried to enable the administrator permissions on the Compatibility tab when using shortcut?

Hi Claymore,

I was reading some updates on the Ethereum forum about a Parity version of stock ethminer, that suppose to be more optimised for mining.

My question is, will CDM adopt this "parity" thingy or its something to expect in future versions. v4.6 is working fine for me and if it ain't broke I rather not fix or mess with other miner app.

Incidentally, I read somewhere that this "parity" thing was tweeted by Vitalik after the DAO hack, that he wants miners to use this asap  - sorry I am not technically an expert but after reading these in the forums out there - any comments with regards to future CDM versions with this "parity" feature?

Thanks
