So if you have an rx 480  please
A) list the system
B) list the hash rate
C) list the configuration
D) software
E) list the clocking on msi afterburner or any clocking tool
F) list the watts mining and not mining
G) ?

I will post  my current 390 setup as an example

A) intel i5 2500t in a gigabyte b75m mobo 2 sticks of 4gb ram
B) 25mh on ethpool
C) bat file = qtminer exe -u us1.ethpool.org:3333 -u myethaddy.rig7 -G
D) Windows 7, qtminer, amd driver 15.12
E) -100mv   gpu 990   memory  1243 fan 45% temps 60c   msi afterburner
F) mining watts 228 no mining 33 watts so mining cost is 195 watts for 1 r9 390

Most are out of the stock. It seems the RX 480 is very popular. That could make the mining difficulty rise again.

Mine come on Tues I will post for the sapphire ones then. These are the 8gb ones that cost 239.99 each.

Not sure when I will get the xfx ones they are backorder from amazon.

Running a test rig with 1 Sapphire RX 480 8 GB connected directly to H81 BTC Pro motherboard w/o any Molex to the MB. It's been stable at 28.5 MH/s at 2300 MHz memory clock for over 24 hours, no external fan. Rest of the controls are grayed, perhaps a new version will allow undervolting. Noise wise it is not more than 390 running at 70-80% fan speed. It is going to a 6 Sapphire 8 GB rig once I build a wooden frame. GPU only power usage 170-175 watts at the wall, I am sure it will be better when I use quality PSU. Running Claymore's miner in ETH only mode.

Hardware: Sapphire RX 480 8 GB, H81 BTC Pro MB, 4 GB RAM, Celeron G1840, Win 10 pro, using a spare 1000 watt Antec Gold PSU.

I spent several hours yesterday installing Linux and then the AMD driver; then Windows 10 and the AMD driver both of which continued to fail.

Eventually I plugged one 480 directly into the mobo and found it to work correctly.  Hopefully the July 5th driver will enable more power from the pcie.

I just got my second 480 to work with a riser by plugging my PSU molex directly into it.  (You must have a riser that has an actual molex connector to do this)

Hope this saves some members from making the same mistake.

here is a set of photos with me trying sapphire trixx on an r9 390


1 r9 390  and the rig pulls 216 watts   the rig drops to 32-34 watts  once I turn the mining off so  182-184 is for mining

I am impressed with sapphire trixx

I am doing a -163mv  undervolt

Well I just got it going today on sapphire trixx  so far it is running  if she crashes  I will let you know.


 As for this being a rx 480 thread my first two come on tues  they will be posted.  I have a pair of xfx coming on tues then a pair of sapphires coming on the 11th

throw my money ? you mean spend my eth mining profits and the 15k i got from parting out all my 390s and 280x
390s mining at 25mh is a waste when a 480 mines at 27 uses less power and costs 30% less

Well I had   nine     390's  this was the best one. it is in an open rig and quiet enough to watch tv fans a7 40% keep it cool enough.

And the 212 total watts of  heat keeps the den a little warmer.  it is usually too cool in the summer due to ac.

What I like about eth is I am fully roi'd . this rig earns 68.50 bucks per month before power  my summer power is really high 18 cents. I spend 28.50 in power

So I net  40 dollars  with little or no sound and just the right amount of heat.

I will be adding the 4  480's over the next 2 weeks.  but I have to say I love running this r9 390 as a time filler for now.

Still running for about 12 hours.

I need to do a caveat  about pc's  .

 I have an
 iPad  forgot the os  but it is a mini three with and older os
 3 mac minis  last 3 os's
 an i5 intel tablet window 10
 a lap top windows 7
a linux pc
2 rasp pi's
6 pc's ready for video cards
parts for at least 2 more pc's.



so when I run a pc it does one thing mine on windows 7 with under volt and under clock this makes very stable cards that don't burn die or crash much.  keeps heat and noise down and less work gpu mining. I also use better cpu's  model t's when I can find them.

i-5 2500t
i-7 3770t
i-5 6400t
i-5 6500t
i-5 6600t
all good low power cpus.

others go for  a few  6 card  rigs  that pushes the limits  that can be okay and work out.  but at 59 years old I just say  fuck it my way at least feels a bit easier.

LOL I totally hear you there.  The rig I build on Windows 7 stole about 30 hours of my time to get it to recognize all the cards and to hash.  Of course I ran a Windows update and it was all over but the memories.  It would only recognize 2 of the 5 cards and sometimes wouldn't boot up at all.  Eventually gave up and went with Ubuntu and that took me another 30 hours or so to get that going right and knock on wood that system is running stable now.  Not optimal, but at least it is hashing away.

windows usually has issues after 3 or for cards.  Just by disabling HD audio controller under system devices in Device Manager should fix that problem.
I'm kind of forced to use Windows so I have to figure a lot of that crap out as I have very poor vision.

I realize everyone want to mine ETH with this card but I was hoping that in the shake out of this card that  you could test Decred, Cryptonight, Skein, and Quark as well as I am thinking more long term use for these cards and just trying to think of other algo's to mine later on?

I am not mining DCR at the moment, but when I did a standard benchmark test with NiceHash v.1.6.0 it was showing 1100.800 MH/s DCR for 1 Sapphire 480 8 GB.

EDIT: decided to try Claymore's dual mining just for the sake of it, 25.86 MH/s ETH and 387 MH/s DCR. 28.6 MH in ETH only mode. Above NH figure of 1.1 GH/s is in DCR only mode I am guessing. Going back to ETH only mode. Note this is all done in stock setting because of lack of optimized utility software.

I get 26.9 eth and 550 drc with DCR near $2 is more profitable to mine both

Finished building my first wooden frame, it was too narrow to place 6 GPUs. Running 5 480 8 GB on a H81 Pro BTC MB, Win 10 pro, 8 GB RAM and Celeron G1840. Running at stock 2000 memory clock to see how stable it is for last few hours. 123.22 MH/s or 24.76 MH/s/GPU at 950 Watts at the wall with EVGA G2 1300. It is 2x nosier than 5 390 rig. At 2300 mem clock I was getting 28.7 MH/s/GPU.

http://i.ur.com/W3NWDpL.jpg




So stock clocks    950 watts/ 123.22 mh

the evga is about 88% or 89%  at 950 watts.

the cpu is low cost  my guess is it is using 45 of its 53 watt max


if you had a i5 4570t  you would be 20 or 25 watts   but that is only a 20 watt savings and one cpu is 45 the is 150 on ebay when you get lucky

I wonder if you had a 4570t if it would boost your hash rate along with save some power

I think I can run a 6500t against a celeron g3900  on identical  mobos 

a biostar z170  that could show the value of going cheap cpu against better cpu .

950 watts doing 123.22

  I had 3 nanos  at 600 watts  doing 81 mh   no bios mod   and high quality cpu   

 so  5 of these cards  are 5 x 250  = 1250 usd   

3 nanos are 3 x 500 = 1500 usd

they are not so bad.

So far I'm not impressed with my RX480s.  They run super hot at 88-89C in my office Ambient of 76 where as I run most of my R9 390 way cooler.  They are also a power hog not the 120-150W I was hearing about.  I'm measuring 405-408W for my 2 GPu plus the ASR H81 and Celeron that prob use about 50W so 354-358w are going to the 480.  That's up to 179W per card!!  I'm not saving much electricity  as I can get my MSI and Asus with undervolting and doing 31.3 MH via 1100 clock at 260-270W each.   I have 3 different brands coming next week but these 2 are XFX and they are very picky with OC.  2180 for memory is what gets me 27MH, other setting will either make 1 card unstable or crash the entire system.  2140 and 2180 is what works well for me.  Surprisingly when I ran it at stock memory clock of 2000MHZ, it consume almost the same amount of power so it's a far cry from 150W max.   I hope it will get better with newer drivers.  

P.S These reviewers must received different cards then us?  How are theirs able to get memory to 9000MHZ?

I see you are using USB risers and it looks like power to them is done over sata power adapter?
Beware power sata connector is no good for over 50W... and 480 if pushed 100% can pull a lot more (70W) (if you mine eth+dcr, etc)

It would be best if you can power USB riser directly from PSU with no crap adapters

Also try checking if any of sata power connector is heating at max load after 5-10min

Unfortunately I don't have enough Molex connectors to connect to each riser, only 2 per EVGA 1300. 1 GPU did melt yellow cable (Molex to SATA) a couple of places but the connector ends are not burned. Actually I didn't see any burn spot on the cable just the cheap plastic ballooned. I connected the riser of that particular GPU to Molex directly from PSU. Rest of the cables are ok and have been running over 12 hours. Pic of the burned cable below.

Alternative is good quality extender with quality power connector (best would be to have 6pin pci-e connection), or USB riser which does not go over SATA power, one yellow wire is a bit on limit for 480
Those cheap chines one I don`t know some are better some are crap, maybe if they use 2x yellow wires + 2 for ground and some good quality connector at the end, but as I sad best would be if they had 6pin pci-e soldered on the riser PCB, I sow some but they are hard to find, if the quality is good they should prolly provide 75W with no problem

Every time I try to set memory clock to 9000 MHz (+1000) and hit apply, it goes back to 8800 MHz. Should I just leave it as it is and don't hit apply. I am seeing some power savings at -15%, 27.1 MH/s at 186 watt at the wall. It was 215 watt at the wall before.

I just downloaded the same tool.  I think this will work if you have a single GPU but if you have multiple, it won't work the same.  Testing it on 2 x XFX.  Moving voltage will automatically change the Clock speed, so can't match the exact as the link above shows.  If I just change the clock and let it handle the voltage with a -15% power save, it will crash my system.  RX480 super picky.  I think Hawkfish saw similar issue with 1 card setup vs 5 card as well.  

Weird part - I remove Asus GPU Tweaker software and go back to MSI afterburner.  Use my old setting at 2180 for memory, it shows 2250 on the software as well as AMD Wattman but is only pulling 348 Watts for 2 GPU - MB = less than 150W per card while pulling 27MH.  Old setting would pull 408 watts.  I'm not touching it anymore.  RX480 is weird.

here is a set of photos with me trying sapphire trixx on an r9 390


1 r9 390  and the rig pulls 216 watts   the rig drops to 32-34 watts  once I turn the mining off so  182-184 is for mining

I am impressed with sapphire trixx

I am doing a -163mv  undervolt

tiny gpu overclock 1023 vs stock 1015

memory  1000MHz which reads as 4000MHz

fan at 40%

 gpu temps are 61c  and vrm = 73c

quiet    pulling 25.9   hash rate

sapphire trixx  will do -200mv  with the r9 390's

btw that card became unstable at -162  14 hours in, but it is stable at -128mv 

watts are 226 vs 216  still good since the rig has about 32 watts  with no mining.


 so 194 watts for 25.9 mh  for a r9 390 is okay.

well I got it to do 25.9  at  184 watts for  14 hours

it now does 25.9 at 193 watts for 2 days



so  27 at 180  could be possible on sapphire trixx

 especially if you mod the bios. my numbers above are a non modded bios

my 2 rx 480's come today.

Couldn't directly find the other thread about the pci power draw issue.

Anyhow, here's a fix for that.


Quote
Firstly: This fix is by no means an official one and you will be using it at your own risk. If you for any reason manage to fry your card while using it, you are not entitled to make any claims for warranty exchange (RMA).

As soon as the bios flashing software supporting Ellesmere becomes available, I'll be releasing a modified bios which makes the necessary changes automatically.

The procedure is rather simple, and can be done on any software which supports I2C control on Radeon graphics. Personally I recommend MSI Afterburner for the job.

- Download and install the newest MSI Afterburner
- Go to the installation folder of MSI Afterburner (where the MSIAfterburner.exe is located) and open a new command window ("Left Shift + Right Mouse Click" when no file is selected)
- Additional step: Verify that the I2C interface to the VRM controller is working by typing following command: "MSIAfterburner /ri06,08,0D" (without the quotes). If the response is ": 20" or ":44" you're good to go.
- The two commands you need to input are following: "MSIAfterburner /wi06,08,1E,BB" and "MSIAfterburner /wi06,08,1F,B0".

Once you have given these commands the power draw from the PCI-E slot has reduced and moved towards the PCI-E power connector. The recommended programming value is "B" (/wi06,08,1E,BB and /wi06,08,1F,B0), however you can go set it to anywhere between "B" and "F". Higher the value, more of the power draw will be directed to the PCI-E power connector.

Do note that this fix must be re-applied after every reboot.

EDIT: Added the I2C response for IR3567B controller (0x44).
IR3567A = 0x20.

The fix applies for both!


Shout out to The Stilt!

I used ASUS Tweak to lower power limit and increase memory clock to 9000, then closed Tweak. Opened MSI AfterBurner and set memory clock to 2250 MHz and closed it. Saved settings in AfterBurner and checked apply at start up. Reboot computer, and run Mining software. I found that when running mining software opening AfterBurner sometimes freezes the mining software. It's best to apply settings when miner software is not running. Settings can be verified with Wattman or GPU-z. Results are similar to Nanos at stock settings at half the price :)

asus tweak and

wattman are new to me..

First off i went pretty freaking crazy but I have a working hash rate at a pool.

claymore soft ware is giving me very good numbers. for 1 pair of sapphire 8gb rx 480's

so the 54mh is using only 350 watts  or about 310 for the cards and 40 for the rig

claymore with eth only is really good.

I change out the r9 rig and jumped from 52mh to 58 mh.

I now have 2 rx 480s in one rig

and two r9 390's in the second rig.


54mh the 480s   372 watts

58mh the 390's   496 watts

msi afterburner  allowed me to do 1 setting memory to 2200

watt man did the fans to 75%

asus did the power to 86 or minus 14%

54mh at 372 watts is very good.  I am sure I can do better once drivers are sorted by :

sapphire trixx
msi afterburner
wattman
asus gpu tweak

FYI you can down clock the GPU core to around 1160-1180mhz...the GPU waits on the memory controller after those speeds so no point running it full speed. Saves a few watts.

Edit: after applying -15% power limit to all 6 480s, at the wall reading went down to 1065 watts from 1082 watts. Individual GPU can be adjusted from Asus TweakII's drop down menu.

on claymore miner i jumped my hash rate from 50mh to 54 mh   by moving clock from 2000 (stock) to 2200

this is for the 480x  not the r9 390's

FX-8350 16gb 1866 DDR3 RAM windows 10 64bit
2x XFX RX 480. re-pasted with MX-4..

i get about 47-49MH/s
according to gpu-z its about 100W a card..

id be careful mining with these until new drivers come out.. there is something wrong with the fan control..
i set my pc to mine and i watched a movie on tv..

checking my computer i found one of my gpus was at 86c..
inspecting further.. the fan was at 1800 RPM on that gpu..

my other gpu was at 73c and that fan was at 3800 RPM.



so whatever is controlling the fans.. isnt working right..


running at 86c didnt seem to phase the gpu much, it was running right along at 1266 with 100% load


its like wattman was ignoring the fact i told my fans to hit 100% at 70c on that gpu..

edit, i rebooted my computer, and ran the NH miner and now its all back to normal with the fans blasting away..

I am running my windows pc's with just mining.

I use my macs for fun like posting here watching netflix youtube etc.

So yeah all the tweaker programs are f'd up.

I am playing with
sapphire trixx
asus gpu tweaker
msi afterburner
amd wattman  >>> inside amd 16.6.2

I can do 75% fans
I can do 2215 memory clock vs 2000 and this moves hash to 27 mh vs 24mh
I can do 85% for power on asus tweaker  this cuts watts down
I can not do the gpu to 1200 with any of the four it is stuck at freq 1266.

but playing with 4 tuning programs sucks.

Phillip,

Do you find at Memory 2215, that MSI shows the GPU clock fluctuate all different range and that you get 27MH on 1 card but much lower on other cards?  It's not as stable as with 2180 in my experience, would like to hear about yours.  Seems like the memory clock it likes, it would start at lower hash and lower GPU clock and then fluctuate higher for the GPU clock and within 30-60 secs will reach it's final stabilized range.

it ran great for 14 -15 hours then a windows update crashed everything (my bad had it set wrong)

try as I might right now I can't get the 27.3 + 27.3  = 54.6 mh

I have 26.6 and 24.5 now.

all four tweakers are driving me a bit batty.

and I also read on anandtech that someone was able to a monster under clock giving 60 or 70 watts lower.

say 280 watts for a 2 card pc doing 48mh.  new drivers are coming very soon 16.7.1  maybe tonight

yesterday I did get 54.6mh at 336 watts to run stable.

I will let it run at 51mh and 350 watts today until 16.7.1 comes in.
I have to say these are good cards well worth the money.  but the next week will be a bit nutty.


Also I am still having my kitchen put in and it has been a mess.

today cabinets.

Yeah, now that I have found better stable settings.  I'm starting to like the 480s more.  I can also fit more of them into the same 48" rack due to the air flow direction being 1 path.

okay installed 16.7.1

I am getting 50-51mh  rather then 54.6 mh

here is what I think is going on the pcie slot was pulling a little too much power so 16.7.1 has 2 was to reduce that there is a switch on wattman and I believe that it simply freezes max memory setting at 2000 vs 2200-2225.

so I can choose to use the switch or simply keep the memory set at  2050 or so  gives me 25.5 which is less the the 27.3 and 27.3 yesterday but I did have a shut down after 14 hours

so watttman

is stock freq gpu
   2050 freq memory
   fans  are 3000 to 4000 rpm manual
   temp for card is set 83 max   70  target

    and cards are at about 67 c

garage is 90 f due to some hotter weather.

so  the giga B-75m mobo has
a crucial 250 gb ssd
windows 7 ultimate
2 sticks of 4gb ram
a 700 watt silverstone psu
a 3570k cpu
whole system pulls 366 watts at 51 mh  no where close to what I got yesterday  330 watts 54.6mh.

pretty busy with kitchen install
they are doing the cabinets.



I also have 3 s-7 ln's coming to me on friday

I have to move the s-9 to the solar array and ship 2 of the s-7's to europe.

so pretty much this will be it for tweaking these cards until monday.

mine got a little slower as well.. 45-46 instead of 47-49..

i think i found out why.. they seem to prefer the 1236 speed (state 6) instead of 1266 (state 7).


im guessing if you just adjusted state 6 to 1266 you would get your speed back.


oh and wattman still crashes if you leave it open for a long time :(

Try these settings with the RX 480:

Manual frequency to 950mhz
Memory frequency stock at 2000mhz

Power limit -30%
Undervolt all power by -100mv.

With these, each card gets a stable about 24mhs but the power consumption on my kilowatt reduced dramatically.


On a side note, has anyone been able to lower the memory frequency below 2000mhz? Wattman for some reason won't let me go below 2000mhz.

no im using etherminer from the nicehash program.

i havent really tried too many of those programs..

but i have used the etherminer for both nicehash and ethermine.org and get about the same results.

wow  I am going to try that.

wattman 2 cards  now do 46mh  but dropped the entire system down to 270 watts





It is late I am tired and still have the kitchen on my mind.

Due to my back and feet I had lino put in not tile.  Went with Mannington platinum.  Also kitchen is on second floor of a bi level home

the circuit breaker box is underneath the kitchen.  Lino does add more protection in a leak.

Are you using Just Wattman only for this tweak or combination of Asus, Wattman, etc?  Also has it been stable so far and how do we set the Global setting from Wattman instead of via individual cards?

Driver is 16.30 for Linux

Genoil 1.1.7


Doing 133-139 mh/s.  I'd say its doing about 22.5 or 23mh/s in Ubuntu 16.04 in stock mode.

on 6 x 480 (4gb models) 

2 - XFX 4gb rx 480
4 - Sapphire 4gb rx 480


powered usb risers.   3 seperate power rails for every 2 video cards.
Just spent a few hours setting up Ubuntu...will do power and benchmark tests after I take a nap.

there is only one window there is possibility for a bad airflow, you need to redirect everything from that window

but it is a nice room for mining indeed, you can stack there, a little farm

Very easy to undervolt and handle the RX480 only using the WATTMAN,no need for additional tools.

Set Voltage to Core and Memory BOOOOTH MANUAL,let memory default voltage 1000 and clock it to 2200.

Then set frequencty to -15% and lower power states last 4 to 980,this is lowest you will get in gpu-z reading too,if you set lower than this you will get 1.0375 in Gpu-z.

With these settings you should have 27-27.5 Mh/s and much lower power consumption and heat ;)

yes and if you also use your pc for gaming like i do, you can make a special profile for the miner program and set the settings there instead of the global settings..

it will switch to those settings when you start mining and switch back to default when you stop.

yeah wattman  seems to be good enough..   At the moment I have  49mh at 270 watts for entire 2 card system.

take 40 watts off  for the pc  I am at 230 watts  for 49mh  that is really good.

I am all windows 7  .  So my advice is based on windows 7.

pull the r9 280  and run just the rx 480's

make sure you are using amd 16.7.1 drivers

use wattman  for tweaking  wattman is inside of amd settings.


I go real simple with wattman

 I only set the fans and the power limits

the power limit setting is under the fan setting  I use -28%

I set fans for 2000 rpm-4000 rpm

   temps at 80 max 60 target

so only 3 tweaks for each card.

i get 24mh for 1 card 47 mh for 2 cards

I get  275 watts for entire system  cards ram cpu ssd case fans,

my system pull 71 watts with no mining and 275 watts with 2 cards.

One of my RX 480s smells like it's burning or something. It also starts to hash 30% lower shortly after starting to mine.

Where are people even getting 480 cards at? Even the day of release on newegg I couldn't purchase just had to fill out notify when back in stock. Still none in stock.

id check to see if its not your pci-e slot..

also i repasted mine, and on one the machine or whatever they have missed the die and only half of it was covered with thermal paste.

I have been using the pci-e slot running my r9 280x the past two months and no problems. The burning smell doesn't come from the other RX 480s and hashrate is 30 or 40% lower. I'm contacting newegg to see if I can get a replacement.

That is the one main reason why I'm buying only from Amazon. You just return it and at the moment UPS scan your return lable - you got your money on credit card.

On the other side there are no RX 480 on Amazon yet

Phillip,

So you at 24MH with -28%, your RX 480 only pull around 100W each?  Also how do you make the Global setting once and have it apply to all 5 GPU vs editing the same for each card?

okay  re set wattman to stock on the two cards.

how many cards just 2 correct.



card 1 all auto until you reach the fan

on the fan

  do 2000 4400 for fan speed

 do  80c    60c for temps

do -28% for power

hit apply


card 2 all auto until you reach the fan

do 2000 4400 for fan speed

do 80c   60c for temps

do -28% for power

hit apply


you should get about 24mh + 24mh

now my pc is 100% for eth mining

I think you are trying to do other shit  while mining?

Is this correct?

I tried your setting, and it doesn't work as intended.

I'm solo mining SIA, the hash rates will reduced by at least 20% with the -28 power setting.

Maybe it works on ETH only.

Look below at my rx 480 sapphires 8gb ram.

I left gpu stock
I left memory stock.
All settings are in the fan area and the power limit which is in the fan area.



https://i.imgur.com/WZqssdD.png






I get a drop in watts from 350-360 stock settings
to 297-312 my settings.
fans stay under 3000 rpm temps are under 67c
room is 86f

this shows me at 23% power limit.
for your rx 480's   you can try from 15% to 30%

Hi Phillip,

Why did you change to -23%, originally you mentioned -28%, was it not stable at -28%?



Title: Re: Trying to make a list of the rx 480's hash rate power and settings etc.
Post by: judypug1956 on July 10, 2016, 03:51:41 PM
I am posting here not to double post (I am philipma1957)

So Gpu stock
So memory stock

So my wattman settings  for fans never change  once I set them


 and I only need worry about power limit.

-15%   to -30%


Now  I have to say this is very simple  for eth  once you add in multiple coins  it will change. You may really need to crank memory or gpu and leave power limit at 0%.

If you do only eth like I am doing I get close to 49MH using only 295-310 watts  of which 40 watts is pc  

I can get better watts  with power limit at 27 to 30%  and mh drops a bit say 48mh for 2 cards

I can also say  once you go deep into gpu freq memory freq and voltage  you can do 265 watts on my system and get 47mh.

But stability is meh and you need to set:
the gpu freq the gpu volts
the mem freq the mem volts
the fans
the power limit


the simplified setup in this post is:
the fans
the power limit

the benefit is about 30 watts a card  the mh drops  from high 24 say 24.9 mh   to low 24 say 24.2mh

Hi Phillip,

Why did you change to -23%, originally you mentioned -28%, was it not stable at -28%?




it is stable at 28 to 30%  but mh drops on one card to 23 and change  and the other card to 22 and change  I net 45.8 to 46.2  watts 270-280


I prefer this I net  48 to 49 mh  watts 297 to 312 watts


vs stock  which is 49mh at 350-363 watts

I'm solo mining SIA, the hash rates will reduced by at least 20% with the -28 power setting.

Maybe it works on ETH only.

What hash rate do you get mining Sia with the 480? (with go miner)

Post by: philipma1957 on July 10, 2016, 03:57:31 PM
back to my account.

 since full stock gives me 49mh at 350-363 watts

and the simplified setting of fans + power limit of -23%   gives me  48mh at 297-312 watts   it is a huge  power saving

 and simple to do.  Me like simple.


as for sia   I would do my simple settings in wattman.

the fans and -23%  look at all mining results for 30 minutes

and the beauty is the next test  since it is simple do

the fans  and -22%  look at all mining results for 30 minutes

then do the fans and -21%
then do the fans and -20%

yada
yada
yada

until you find the best one  maybe it is the fans setting and -7% power limit


now you can not do this without a kwatt meter since you do no know how much power you save

and sia may simply not scale well  ie.

on Eth I dropped my  power from 350 to 297  my mh dropped from 49 to 48  using -23%  that is scaling well  as the 1 mh is not worth around 50 watts

ok i see what you are doing.. you are forcing the cards to go to powerstate 4 or so by limiting the power..

ill give that a try. since the power part isnt resetting, its the clocks part that is messing up in wattman, i see yours is too.. it says N/A for everything but the last one.

yeah all the fan settings stay stuck when set  which is good as gear is in the 63-66C range and fans are not too loud.
and all the fan settings come back after I boot.
which is easy.


then I only need deal with power limit   which also stays stuck when you reboot.  I tried everyone from 0 to -35.

My best results are in the 22-26% zones.  and i only need worry over that one number.

Since I plane on :

2 three card rigs
5 two cards rigs

total of 16 cards.   checking just the   power limit number is soooo much easier then doing all the voltages.




Lastly the only tweaks are coming right here:

sure if they know how.

we can go with what gpu-z posts per card.

I will do mine later.


here is each one, but the watts that reports is for the chip  about 85.3 on the one driving the display  and about 81.3 on the other one

this leaves out the fans  and the vrm

plus  the watts flux while hashing

total system does 297 to 312. watts at the wall   since the psu is a plat   dc = 270 - 283

When mining is off system does  40-50 watts at the wall since the psu is a plat dc =  36.4 - 45.5

so 257 / 2 =  128.5 watts    each card at the wall    since the psu is a plat  dc =  233.87/2 =  116.93 watts dc for each card

chips read 81 and 85      so  tack on  33- 35 watts for the ram and the fan


below is at the chip

so ive done what you did phill and just left the clocks alone and set the power limit to -26%.
that puts me at 1095mhz running about 45mh/s

my idle watts are around 140-160W and full power watts is at 400W..

so thats 250 watts for 2 rx 480s.. at the wall.

Simple easy and just about what I am doing with my two cards.

Once I get all the rigs back up this simple method will save me time and watts.

Who knows maybe Msiafterburner or sapphire trixx will have something done by then.

I agree that is why I am doing a simple downclock with wattman I save close to fifty watts lose only 1 mh

Cooler quieter .

Once the new drivers come out Msi Afterburner will work. I will see how much better it is to tweak then this?

Trying to get 6 X Sapphire RX480 going on H81 MB, tried win10 and win7. After driver install and after reboot, fails to post. Nada, black screen sometime or BSOD. Even with just one card plugged in on a power riser. Only if I unplug the card will it boot into OS. Thought it was my MB, but I see many 480's running on these boards. I even ordered the H97 Anniversary, thinking its my MB, has not come in yet but Any suggestions?

yes, with mattman

auto correct sucks ;D

I use watt man    ;D pesky autocorrect



------------------------------------------------------------

hey how many are trying some xmr instead of eth

I have 13 cards to eth

I have 8 cards to xmd
-------------------------------------------------------------

@ Havane why choose solo mining?

 26.7mh needs a long time to hit a block

ether miner pool is good

Solo mining to know what's the max I can reatch on ether mining. I use nanopool

I have some reference 480 in ETH, what's hashrate on XMR ?
Is more profitable than ETH (considering instant coin sell)?

Did you tune your card with MSI Afterburner?

Yes but voltage controll is not working there.

You might try other GPU tuning software. One example is the Sapphire Trixx. It worked well on the voltage tuning.

here is a set of photos with me trying sapphire trixx on an r9 390


1 r9 390  and the rig pulls 216 watts   the rig drops to 32-34 watts  once I turn the mining off so  182-184 is for mining

I am impressed with sapphire trixx

I am doing a -163mv  undervolt

tiny gpu overclock 1023 vs stock 1015

memory  1000MHz which reads as 4000MHz

fan at 40%

 gpu temps are 61c  and vrm = 73c

quiet    pulling 25.9   hash rate

i thought this was a 480 thread? anyeays ive never seen an undervolt that low
hard to belive thats stable

Well I just got it going today on sapphire trixx  so far it is running  if she crashes  I will let you know.


 As for this being a rx 480 thread my first two come on tues  they will be posted.  I have a pair of xfx coming on tues then a pair of sapphires coming on the 11th

That's actually just the info I needed Phil (on the RX 480's I mean). Thanks a lot man. Looking forward to it. :)

Trying to get 6 X Sapphire RX480 going on H81 MB, tried win10 and win7. After driver install and after reboot, fails to post. Nada, black screen sometime or BSOD. Even with just one card plugged in on a power riser. Only if I unplug the card will it boot into OS. Thought it was my MB, but I see many 480's running on these boards. I even ordered the H97 Anniversary, thinking its my MB, has not come in yet but Any suggestions?

That's really strange. I have 4 RX 480's (just added a 5th) on the H81 board with 4gb cheapo ram and a G1820 CPU on Windows 10. Runs pretty well. What's your PSU? I'm using a Rosewill Photon 1050, which certainly is nowhere near the best, but it's been running good for quite a while now.

I'm using 16.11.5 driver on all my rigs at the moment and they're running just right. However, I did install other drivers on one of my rigs at some point and if I remember correctly, I had similar issues to what you're talking about. Well, not failing to post, but I was getting crazy BSOD's to the point that I could not login and needed to reinstall Win 10. But Windows 10 will put you at like 16.6 and I just install 16.11.5 and I'm up and running. I wish I had more info to give, but that's been my process and it's been alright so far. At the end of the day, it could be your board. You wouldn't be the first person with a bad H81 board. Just read around.
