HSA means Heterogeneous System Architecture, used to increase performance in several CPU-GPU tasks. If miner works normally after these errors - just don’t care. If interested, here’s article on Wikipedia:

> **[Heterogeneous System Architecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_System_Architecture)**
>
> Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) is a cross-vendor set of specifications that allow for the integration of central processing units and graphics processors on the same bus, with shared memory and tasks. The HSA is being developed by the HSA Foundation, which includes (among many others) AMD and ARM. The platform's stated aim is to reduce communication latency between CPUs, GPUs and other compute devices, and make these various devices more compatible from a programmer's perspective,: CUDA ...

I run 3 cards with 2 GB RAM on Windows 10 (+16 GB swap). Ram usage is really not the issue… 2-4 GB for 6 cards should be sufficient. Just don’t open a web browser to check your balances 😉

Im getting about 170 hs with RX 470. 3 of 4 got mem straps. Notice no difference in performance. GPU running at 1200mhz. 484w from the plug on a FX-8350 system.

Very comfortable noise level, I can work next to the miner.

Also got another system with 2x 480. Also got mem straps. Also running @1200mhz. Slightly lower voltage, slightly noiser, slightly more power drain i think, and about 185sols

I have  
3x 290x  
2x 290  
EVGA 1300W PSU

I’m running it on i 6 and was working 48 hours and now crashing on 6, 8, 12 hours.  
Should I undervolt them and for how much?  
There is 1250-1280w on the wall.  
Thanks.
