This is by far the best first post that I read from a new Steemian on this platform. I wish I had your PC skills as one of my miners is shut down for a few days while I tinker with the hash rate of one of the GPU's suddenly dropping to 4 mhs. I switched out the cards and the new card had the same issue, so I switched the risers with a brand new one and when I restarted again, the low mhs problem shifted to another slot! I could've taken it to the guy I bought it from and he would fix it in a second but I'm taking the time to do it myself because I want to learn. You have a lot of knowledge and experience you can share with others in this platform especially since cryptocurrency / cryptocurrency mining is a popular subject here.
