Title: Issues with some XFX RX580 running at stock speed
Post by: afrosamuraiy on July 26, 2018, 09:46:08 AM
hey guys,

I have some issues with 3 of 6 of my XFX RX580 GTS XXX 8GB graphics cards. Although I flashed all 6 of them with the same rom, 3 of them are running at stock speed (22.33). I even flashed the rom over both bios switches, but still getting the same speed.

Anyone having same issues? I was searching the net for some support (I would pay for it), but couldn't find anything in specific. Some advice or reference to support would be great! Thanks!

The standard questions...

Are all set to compute mode - or else using block chain drivers.
Are all memory overclocked?

For me the easiest way now is to use fairly recent drivers (Adrenalin 18.3.4 atm) and set every thing in the config (all clocks and volts and ensure compute). Config set up all in the readme with the miner.

BTW, I only have 1 XFX 580 but it is 1 click bios'd and 1150/2100 900mV/900mV at the moment.  Making 30.9 Mh

I am using linux. So drivers should not be the issue. But as I see in SMOS the slow ones are running at a slow memory (200mhz) and I somehow cannot change this.

Did you check the memory manufacturer of the cards? Are all the cards from the same manufacturer?
I'll still recommend using Windows for the initial stage as it is easy to get the configurations in place and then make a transition to Linux.

If you will use Windows but like Linux and want to stick with Smos, just do 1 single click bios modification with Polaris bios editor and then reinstall Smos and the cards should be running at the supposed over 22 mhs speed.

I did so with 12 cards and Hive OS after trying desperately to make 12 cards to work on Asus B250 mining expert until the point I got tired and switched to Hive OS, and 360 mhsh stable, running even this day.

do you have a link for the right polaris editor? I always get virus messages with some of them.
