Thank both for the tips... so, based on what Haitch said about being better to use a stand-alone GPU, i attempted this on a 2nd PC with 4 HDDs hooked up to it. I thought this would be easier since this is my newly built main personal PC that I am not using for mining (other than Burt). I have 1 msi 470 on the mobo with my monitor plugged directly into it.
I also update this PC to Java8-131 but then attempted to install the AMD-APP-SDKInstaller for 64-bit Windows and it was not able to install. I rebooted and tried again but still didnt work. Some kind of "cant connect to http protocol" error or something of that nature. I will post the exact error later after i am done GPU-writing a plot but do i even need this package to run Jminer?
Also to note, both before and after attempting this install, I try to launch Jminer on this PC and it simply doesnt launch. I double click the JAR.exe and nothing happens. I try launching through the .bat and I see a brief command window appear but then it's automatically closed immediately. Same thing happens when I try to launch OpenCL option through AIO client... it asks me if I want to use 2nd openCL devices but then only appears briefly before closing whether i click yes or no.
Is this behavior likely due to me not being able to install that AMD SDK package? It's the 3rd item on this page:

Is this the correct thing to install? Do I need it even if I've already got Crimson 16.10 drivers installed for my 470s on both PCs? Not sure why this won't install on my personal PC but would like to double check that it's the correct thing before putting onto my mining rig.
