Ethereum update: GPUs’ usages fluctuate for 5 minutes before stable
It sounds ridiculous, but this is what’s happening, and I have no idea why it happens.
My rig stably ran for moths with **Claymore Miner**, ytd it got restarted due to failed gpu. And this ridiculous issue just happens afterwards
When the rig’s running with **Claymore Miner**, GPUs’ usages would fluctuate for 5 minutes since the start, after 5 minutes everything went back to normal

Yes! It only happens with **Claymore Miner**. I tried using **ethminer**, and everything works just fine. I also tried **Claymore Miner’s other versions**, it doesn’t fix the issue.
What I’m worried about is power spikes. If this problem is still present, my GPUs would get power spikes every time I restart the rig.
I tried googling it but didn’t see any relevant threads. Thanks 🙂
