Post your 5700XT Power consumption mining ETH

There could be several reasons:
Do you have the same components as Red Panda? CPU, Mainboard, other components...
Maybe the power supply?
Are you using 230 V or 110 V?

Interesting comparison. What CPU are you using?

A bit OT but, 25watts is pretty good.

I'm already using an Athlon 200GE which is described to idle at 35w but i'm pulling in 45w at the wall from CPU alone. I've only undervolted the cpu to just -0.1mv dynamic core voltage tho.

I'm getting

330Mhs with 740-750W (Depending OS) in the Wall:


5 x 5700 XT (4 Micron + 1 Samsung) (Personal Bios MOD + Tunning OC)

2 x 1600 Super

With a i5 7400

2 different cards. Aorus is a performance card , so its going to be power hungry. Red panda has a ref card maybe with a Samsung memory

This has everything to do with power. Are you on a 230v electrical outlet or 110v? That reduces PSU efficiency, by 5-10%.
Also, a 1200w psu will be horribly inefficient below 20% load, resulting in 80-85% efficiency, while Redpanda may be using a 450-500w psu which will still be at 25%+ load so giving a 90+ efficincy at 130w load (even a silver PSU will give that).

PSU's are most efficient at loads between 25%-75% of rated capacity, and at low loads can be horribly inefficient, barely above the 80% efficiency needed to qualify for the certification.

I believe that the difference in consumption is due to the different number of fans on each card. I'd guesstimate that each fan probably can take 5-15 W , and fan consumption is not monitored by card sensors. More in this article:

AMDs shown powerdraw is sadly not perfect.

he could be using a g4400t cpu it will save up to 10 watts on your g3930

also all software readings are not important.

kwatt meter at the wall mining ⛏
kwatt meter at the wall not mining ⛏

those matter.
are you sure you have the plat version of that psu.
the plug socket must be blue to be plat.
if it is black it is the gold version.

lastly the kwatt meter at the wall can read hot.
i have four or five different models of kwatt meters.
they can vary five percent on the exact same load.

MSI 5700XT Evoke Samsung.
55.5Mh/s, 105-110W from the wall
52.7Mh/s, = 93.5W from the wall

1. Deactivate all you dont need in the Bios
2. Use a T CPU, like G4400T 4560T
3. Use a passive heatsink --> Arctic Alpine 11 / 12
4. Modify the Bios of the GPU and check the set voltage and the in fact voltage.
    go as low as possible for each card.
5. Go for a NICE supply unit.

It's probably not so much the load curve because even dropping 2% on the efficiency curve for 160W would only be 1.6W at output. I imagine Panda is running 220/240v and that might be part of it. The rest would be from the difference between reference PCB power delivery vs AIB power delivery.

Your ram is roasting at 96C. I would increase the fan speed a bit more. Always easier to replace a fan than RMA a dead card.

I don't have the Aorus but I have 6 of the Gaming OC variant. All my memory runs into the 100-110C range if I don't turn up the fan speed. I pulled one apart to make sure it was pasted correctly and make sure the thermal pads were making contact properly. They were, so it's just a power issue with the 5700 XT. If you can get mem voltage down that should help, but try increasing fans to at least 45%.

I see everyone is posting their PM hashrates and power draw's...

So, 57.7 at 83 watts for me ;)

Real hashrate with TRM and power at the wall.. 55.8 mhs at 127 watts.

I didn't bother with mem voltage because I was able to get temps down to 90C which I'm OK with because there isn't much thermal cycling. I'm running 1230 core @ about 735 (varies based on silicon lottery), 1780 mem but I BIOS modded the 1550 Hynix straps for tighter timings, I was able to get same MH/s with lower ram speed, 54MH/s at pool end, 105W per Phoenix. I didn't bother to measure at the wall because I was in a hurry to get sustained uptime over profits.

The tighter timings allowed me to clock the RAM down to 1780 and still get a good rate. When we get our 3 days of winter here in Los Angeles I'll bump the memory up a bit, but for now this is the best I can get when we have ambient above 90F everyday.

Yeah, the real power at wall ranges from 120w watts to 160 watts each gpu with undervolt, which is dependent on the gpu bin, there are good bins and bad bins like everything else that uses silicon. The more gpus the system has, the better to measure, if you put a single gpu, a surplus of watts will make you mad hehe, there is a cable nvidia showed that you can right now measure only the gpu power, red mining panda has a tool quite similar to nvidia, you should check his video that uses it to measure the 5700.

it hard to find a gigabyte rx 5700 that did do less than 140w from the wall. if you want rx 5700 xt with good power consumption get a Sapphire  nitro+ or a pulse.

i have a nitro +SE that is doing 58.3mh with 100w from the wall(74w In software)

I have a 5700xt gigabyte gaming version, and I don't like the memory temperature, mine stays at 92ºC all the time, with 60% fans, my room temp is about 28º to 30º
I did a lot of research and found that is normal in this card, the max temp for memories are 105ºC, and I have 3 years warranty, otherwise I would return this card

And I checked the heatsinks and thermal pads, all are in touch with memories, no bad contact here, so I'll leave this way

Doing 54.4Mhs without bios mod

How did you unlock the memory voltage?

Sure, here are my settings, this is the best result after some days of tweak this card, didn't do the bios mod to not lose warranty
This system is totally stable, no errors for weeks, I only restart once a week to clean the dust
But yes, I suspect that gigabyte models use a lot of power with memories, consuming more

Same question here.. how do you set mvddc to 775 ??

for someone not trying  to not to lose warranty, but 1900 on memory is excessive overlocking. if you  cant restore stock bios when the card dies. then it will be difficult for manufacture to read the bios chip without totally disassembling card to read the bios chip.


setting:
1350/1860
vcore=750
mvddc=775
vddci-1285
soc=850

just copying the straps from 1550 without edit the tRef to 12000 will give low hashrate

these are gigbytes

Amd memory tweak XL

the way things are, is better not to mess with the bios at all. I do hope in future, not distant, you can buy gpu boards, gpu memories and gpu dies, that will make things much easier and manufactures then won't come with the bs and say "you did something to it and we are not honouring the rma." They put third class capacitors, memory chips and blame users, whathehell. It would have been much better if there were gpu boards right now that can drive a 350 watts gpu die like the 3080, with many memory slots and so on.

As far as I know, clocks don't mess with warranty or lifespan of GPUs, the factors that can reduce lifespan are temperature and voltage, and I reduce both
The system is very stable with this clock
I don't fell confortable to do a bios mod with these cards, I didn't have any problems with polaris bios mod in the past, but with these 5700, I won't change for now

I have same model gigabytes some with Samsung, some with micron. At the same exact settings, the Samsung gpus pull 20 less watts each than the microns. This is consistent across all of them (I have 56 of them in total various models).

Never tried, what I do to reduce temperature is set my fans 70% and leave my case open

It's very confusing about bios mod and memory voltage on these models, some people said that Gigabyte rx 5700xt are hard to bios mod because these cards are locked and won't turn on with biosmod, and I never find a way to reduce the voltage of ram, you can search on google and there's a lot of confusing information about

Same here, haven't managed to tweak mvddc. I get temp of 98C (Gigabyte XT), the default voltage for RAM is 850.
For some reason amd mem tweak doesn't work for me
Any ideas?

There are 2 different revisions of gigabyte. Mine is a rev 1.  Was modded no problem.  Easily over 58

cpu 3900x ; 3600 clock ; eco mode 75 watts  power package -> 94.264 watts ?
gpu 5700 xt saphire pulse -> 97 watts as per Phoenix Miner ?

That's impressive, is that out of the box or you decrease the clock memory? What exactly is your configuration on the gpu itself? Im getting the minimum of 91 watt power draw from my RX5700XT, it's also a samsung memory version

Can confirm that you can reduce both MVDDCI and MVDDC using AMD Memory Tweak XL by Eliovp.  I have 2x MSI RX 5700 Gaming X and they both work fine.
So first time you run this tool it will ask you to put your OS into Test mode.  Press Yes, then reboot.  After reboot, start your miner as usual, then start AMD Mem Tweak.  You should now be able to tweak GPU values.  The memory voltage control can be found in the lower right corner.  Reduce both in small increments (say 25 mV).  Then press the V at the bottom to copy the updated values to Powerplay tables and reboot again.  After reboot start your miner as usual and monitor.  And do write down the original values so you can restore in case things go south.  You should see the memory temp dropping in the mining software.

I read thru the posts, most of the stock 5700xt can easily get hashrate ETH for 53mhs and above, mine 5700xt Gigabyte Gaming OC, stock bios only 50mhs...sigh.....
