my first 4Xrx 470 rig is stable for 18-20hr on 0.4.1 (win 10, 8gb ram, G3258) on stock bioses.
does 0.4.2 do anything apart from GCN 1? No speed increase?
thanks.
wow, it is too bad I have r7 370 and R9 380 mixed rig on Ubuntu 
OK, new info, I can confirm as previous users stated that the stability of latest genoil’s gpu miner seems to be linked with cpu usage, as I was running 5 out of 6 threads cpu mining alongside hd 7970 and R9 270 on genoil’s miner, the hash rates from the GPUs were inconsistent and the miner was unstable, it would crash every couple of minutes, fail to start, etc…
I reduced the number of threads on cpu mining to 4 which led to the stabilization of hash rates on both gpus, it went up from 23-32 fluctuating on 7970 to a more stable 28-32 and for r9 270, it went from 17 to 23 fluctuating to 22-24.
Latest AMD drivers, Win 7.
how do you reduce the cpu threads with genoil?

you cant part of the kernel process.
Wasn’t using genoil for cpu, was using nicehash miner, there it’s just -t (number of threads)
maybe try the most recent drivers 16.10.3
working well for me
I use 16.10.3.
On windows so there is no option like -t 0 there it seems
so i modified the restart script to catch the case where you see job not found and also that 0 sols bs.
I changed the time on the loop to 60 secs since sometimes the 0 sol thing shows when the miner first starts
@echo off
echo starting miner
:loop
if exist output.txt del output.txt
time /t
start /MIN nh.bat
:loop2
timeout /T 60 /NOBREAK >nul
findstr /C:“quit” /C:“null” /C:“job not found” /C:“0.0S/s” output.txt && (
taskkill /F /IM genoil.exe
timeout /T 1 /NOBREAK >nul
echo re-starting miner
goto loop
) || (
goto loop2
)
Man, Suprnova and Nicehash have too many reconnects and it crashes this program.
What other pools are there that are stable?
Flypool?
look at zec.nanopool.org it is very stable
Yikes! empty pool
I guess it wont have speed issues at least.
but you cant connect wirh the zec miner.
it’s somehow bound to suprnova

@metz sorry wrong quote.
@Marvell9
how do you account for the fact that when it starts it often shows something like this:
…
zec-sa#0 loading binary kernels/cache/zec-sa-Ellesmere-64.bin
zec-sa#1 loading binary kernels/cache/zec-sa-Pitcairn-64.bin
zec-sa#2 loading binary kernels/cache/zec-sa-Ellesmere-64.bin
zec-sa#0: 0.0S/s zec-sa#1: 0.0S/s zec-sa#2: 0.0S/s zec-sa#3: 0.0S/s total: 0.0S/s
zec-sa#3 loading binary kernels/cache/zec-sa-Ellesmere-64.bin
@Ursul0 the loop waits 60 secconds now before starting the check
so you dont hit that, another problem though is sometimes some cards will go to to zero for a one round and then go back
but at least this way when you get the zero sol thing it will restart

What is nh.bat I run it and get cant find nh.bat
some of my rigs, zcminer crash every 20s. But it is stable with zcminerclient
