Hey Guys.

Now have new MoBo with Sapphire RX580 8GB + Bios Mod

The 580 is modded and works fine a lot of Month on my old MoBo.

But now on new MSI Board Windows Freezes after some minutes.
Driver are Crimson 17.11.
Have try AMD Software with settings for Clock and Fan, tryed OverDrivenTool with my settings from old mb, and last tryed
MSI Afterburner. -100mV, Core Clock 1200, Mem Clock 2100, Fan 45
But Freeze after 10-15 Minutes.
Have used the Pixel Clock Patcher after installing the Drivers.

Anything else i have to check.??

Thx a lot.

Virtual memory set above 16GB?
Did you try the latest drivers? I'll recommend using them after using DDU to clean the old drivers/
Then patch the driver using pixel patcher and see if it works.

I will suggest you that the Crimson driver 17.11 is quite an old one right now,sure it was a great one for the August of 2017 when it came out but now we are two years later than that and technology advances in a rapid pace.Download the latest adrenaline driver after DDU-ing the old drivers and set the workload to Compute.

Setting the virtual memory for more than 16 GB would be a good starting point,also downloading the latest BIOS update and trying to read a BIOS configuration that is suitable for mining for your new motherboard is another thing you should do.

You have to check and test item by item, this is a part of mining that i did not miss  :D

Most of my problems were:

Overclock - try to run stock settings and you'll see if the problem is overclock
Update all, windows, drivers, miners...
Check the connections between GPU and mobo...

and post here your results

Later i try the Adrenaline Driver first... and check one by one.
Thx for all the Details.
Will reply if there are any changes.

dl new drivers, in CCC change from workload to compute mode.

Now have installed latest Adrenaline Driver.. but where is the option to swich to Compute Mode.??
At Games, Global Settings not there. ???

Hello ComX,

With the latest drivers you don't need anymore to active this mode (the driver detect and set the mining mode automaticaly). This is the reason why you don't find the option.

Thats strange.. because on xmr i have only around 420 h/s.
Same was on Crimson if i not set to Compute. After i swich to Compute have around 900h/s on RX580.
Anything else i can change.?

You should try TeamRedMiner and set core clock speed to 1250 and mem speed to 2000. With this you should hit 1000k/h

Don´t know how to set... one - or two -- for clock and mem.. can´t find any settings txt or so.
 :'( ..why all is changing.. damn ;-)
And nothing changed.. ETH 13Mh/s

I think i install a fresh Windows... look if its work

Use the software "OverdriveNtool" for it.
Change the P7 core value & P3 Memory value, play with them & see if you can get better hashrate per watt.
Here is the link: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/overdriventool-tool-for-amd-gpus.416116/

OverdriveNtool don´t work after installing the new Adrenaline Drivers.. needs some Library or so..
LAter i try to install new windows and check again..

Do a format on windows, and try with only one GPU (the problematic one) and then add the second GPU
Sometimes you have to start from zero to solve this kind of problem
And keep us updated

But did you already tried:


Overclock - try to run stock settings and you'll see if the problem is overclock
Update all, windows, drivers, miners...
Check the connections between GPU and mobo...

Now have install new Windows.. Install Adrenaline 19.8.3
Patch Driver with Pixel Clock Patcher.
Change from Graphic to Calculate at Wattman, and load Settings File with 1200, and 2250.
Now ETH Hashrate is 32,2Mh/s at 101 Watt.
Looks good.
System now runs 1 Hour without freezing.
But sometimes if i shut down the PC i got an Strange Error Message, that there is an Error in Ram.
Next Time i make a Screenshot.
Now have remove one Ram Module. PC are running now with 1 8GB Corsair. Looks works better till now.
Later try Ram from my Computer to compare.

Then post next results..

Strange Strange...

Now i set the 1200 to 1250 in Wattman.
Result: ETH from 32,2 Mh/s to 32.4 Mh/s @ 110 Watt and runs stable since 3 hours..
Hope now it´s the right setting..


Freeze after 4 Hours :(

I'm using Adrenaline Drivers 19.5.2 and OverdriveNtool works fine with my Vega 56 flashed with 64 bios.


That's an amazing hash rate for a RX 580 but the power consumption can be reduced a bit. I had my RX 580 do around 30 MH/s with 75W in claymore.
Just reduce the core clock & core voltage as much as you can & reducing memory voltage without affecting hash rate is the way to go.
Also check for the ASIC quality in GPU-z, this will provide you with a rough estimate as to how aggressive undervolt you can do with the card.

Yes, strange...Looks like you have some hardware with problem or with incompatibility and maybe this is the reason you system is unstable
Keep us updated

Hey Guys... a lot of Time for searching is gone... but now i think i have found it..
Settings was at 1200 and 2250 first.
Then changed to 1250 and 2250, same Problem.
Now change it to 1250 and 2150 and everything goes well.
Hashrate 30,9Mh/s @ 108 Watt. (Will try settings to reduce you told me in net Days.
Now it runs 24 hours without freezing.
But have try with only one 8GB RAM.
Tomorrow i try with both again, to see if freezing comes from the mem setting.

So, it's probably the problem I tell you first  ;D
Overclock  ;D ;D ;D

Almost problems in rigs are Overclock and Risers, I remember the headache to maintain rigs working

Yes, you are right... Overclock was the problem..
But Rizer was ok.. worked 25 hours.
Then i remove the Rizer and works too.. problem was overclocking..
Now change to 1150, and leave 2150
ETH 30.7Mh/s at 95Watts... before at 1250 have 110 Watts..
Now i try if it works 24 or more hours.

If it work now without any problems, i´m finish after a lot of headache  ;D

In next 1 or 2 Days i post the Final Report.
Hope now all is fine.. then i´m ready after a lot of headache  ;D.


One last Question i have... what dongle i have to put in the GPU.? Because later don´t have Monitor there.
Now i try only with plug in the HDMI Cable to the GPU, but only get very small Picture with Teamviewer or Anydesk. ???
