Title: New Miner - Asking for Advice/Help
Post by: Tactical911 on July 21, 2017, 11:20:09 PM
Hello everyone,

New to the forums also new to the Mining world, Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice or suggestions on how to squeeze out more Mh/s from my cards. "2" of them seem to be very soft only doing 19MH/s  :(.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thinking about going and modding the bios, However scary since I've never done it before.

Sell the 290x

Sell the rx 570

Buy eth with the sales. Hold the eth.

Mine with the rx 580s

Bios Mod all of your cards.
RX580 8GB Hynix can easily do around 29 MH/s (Talking from my experience)
RX570 8GB can do around 27 MH/s.
No idea about 290x but they can do 24-25 MH/s too.

If we calculate a rough estimate of total hashrate considering above values, it'll be more than 138 MH/s.

Moreover, enable manual fan control in MSI AB and run it in auto mode. Your GPU fans are not firing up even when temps are high. Using MSI AB will keep them in control. (Again from experience).
