141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: TRULY Custom RAM Timings for GPU's with GDDR5 on: March 22, 2017, 09:48:57 PM
Are there any publicly available custom memory strap timings for the rx 400 series? (samsung, elpida, or hynix)

I posted a basic mod for Elpida And Hynix a few pages back..
142  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: TRULY Custom RAM Timings for GPU's with GDDR5 on: March 22, 2017, 09:37:24 PM
Kinda OT since this is a RAM Timings thread, but ill ask this anyways :

For Sapphire RX 470 4GB (Ref) cards GPU Core Volt offset is at A992 correct?
Now for the cards with Hynix memory, I find the default 04 which is 4 X 6.25 or +25mv, which seems legit.
But for the cards with Samsung memory, the value at A992 is FF which is -1 X 6.25 or -6.25mv, so something looks off.
Do different memory versions of the card have different default offset values? Or is the location different?

Any help/guidance would be appriciated.

Seems like the samsung one doesn't have global offset.

Stock roms with global offset have either '03' +18.75mV value or '04' +25mV as VDDC offset.
I've never seen something else, or rather negative offset.. and i've opened up a lot of them ;-) 'But correct me if i'm wrong..'

Greetings.

Just wanted to ask did anybody managed to get over 31+ mhs, but i got my answer before asking Cheesy

That's rather easy, but keeping it there and not setting insanely high clocks, that's the interesting part.

+ i would take a perfectly fine tuned setup with a very low power consumption over high speed any day.

I almost hit 1000h on a 480 8G (XMR) but i prefer 850 stable and very low power consumption.

BETATESTING for people that cant run specific motherboards on my OS.
OK, so as you know, some newer motherboards just wont work under my linux image.
Thats why i made 3 addonitional images with different kernels (its a linux core).
Rest of the system is ofcourse  compatible and accually the same.
Anyway if you have board that didnt worked under my normal image, please flash each of this image and see if it would help.
Any results please send me to admin@simplemining.net

Subject: Different kernels test
Motherboard model: "for example MSI or asus and specific model...."
Problem description: "for example. Motherboard totally wasnt working"
Result:

Since everyone is sharing now I suppose i'll put what I've come up with out here. Running -125mv 470 Nitro Sapphire 8GB with Samsung memory with ETH hitting between 28.5MH/s to 29.2MH/s @1140 cor and @2100 mem pulling around 920watts at the wall with 6 GPU per rig. On XMR hitting 785h/s to 795h/s @1170 cor and @2100 mem pulling around 660 watts at the wall with 6 GPU per rig. Also running ethOS 1.2.0. Im here to learn more about the mistakes I made on the mod and see what others in the community have come up with.

Here is the strap I've put together:
777000000000000022CC1C00106A5B47C0570E16B08C05090068C70014051420FA8900A00300000 0190D2F399D2D2E17

WOW - thats a bold statement -- I would suggest doing a little more research before making wild statements like that, The Stilt is a well known and respected guy in the AMD world.   Huh

In regards to the other comments, welcome to the club, several of us (myself, wolf0 etc) have put in countless hours

Respect is irrelevant.
I said 'Out of historic context it is hard to tell who copied who.'
It is not bold, it just states what either vendors used Stilt work or other way around.
Who done it is irrelevant (at least for me), changed values are not.

Respect maybe irrelevant to you but not to me.  I respect those that put in the work.

Ultimately what matters on this forum is if the work yields a result.  I am hitting 530+ mining ZEC with a Fury X and a modified BIOS way under stock voltages.  There isn't a GDDR5 based card that can touch the numbers HBM cards can put up.  Obviously it isn't only the HBM but it certainly doesn't hurt

Yeah lol, now that a lot is out of the box, this thread is back to being super active..
Funny how "certain" people come back to live when free things are given out...

It's one thing to have the tools, it's another thing to know what you're doing... (where are them mode registers  Wink)
148  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX480 (Reference) 31+Mh, Custom Rom on: March 20, 2017, 02:36:34 PM
There is some Elpida mem out there, that even when modded with the 1500 strap, that seems only stable at 26-26.5 mhs or so

I experienced this with a 480 4gb nitro (not nitro+)

They do 30Mh as well.. (those nitro's)

Got 2 Elpida 4G's, one nitro and one non nitro, the nitro one does 30+ and the non nitro one does 29.5 stable.

But this is with custom timings.

A shitload of potential here, lets hope they make something out of it..

Before whatever that jstenfanop is building makes them irrelevant Smiley

I've seen what he's been working on.
Not bad, but i prefer a 6xgpu rig over a 10x rig any day. (Non MXM GPU's)
Yeah yeah, i know, more mobo's, etc.. but if i have a rig down, i don't have 10+ cards down.


Plus, this (pandaminer) is interesting because of the MXM gpu's and their power efficienty,
i believe what jstefanop is doing is basically a pci splitter..?.. based for Regular GPU's.. (correct me if i'm wrong) and so kind of irrelevant in comparison with this project.
150  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are you the best PandaMiner reviewer we are looking for? on: March 20, 2017, 01:03:54 PM
I really hope they will send the next batch or whatever in a decent state.

I recieved my pandaminer (not b3) last week, full of dust, scratches, clearly been used for a significant period of time.. (and i know i'm not the only one....)

Not very professional if you ask me.


Then i got a private message from someone else who recieved his panda with 3 heatsinks completely loose....

I was very happy with my very first order, arived here in time, in perfect condition and still running smooth.

But to be honest, i'm not sure if i'm going to reorder anything else after haven seen this.


Lets hope they turn around and start working on their marketing skills and perhaps some decent English  Wink

151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System on: March 18, 2017, 04:34:07 PM
@tytanick is it possible for the optiminer client to show just the total hashrate and when you hover over it to show individual hashrates?  I like how you have claymore eth setup but find it a bit frustrating to have to always open console to check total hashrate for optiminer.

claymore has this just because it has clean and very nice api.
I didnt check but as i renember optiminer doesnt has one so it would be very hard to do this.
You could ask optiminer developer to do that.
also is claymore zec slower than optiminer?


Mmm. this is super easy to do.

Optiminer has a log flag, just log the output, grep the hashrates out of the log, send them and done.

Not really seeing the "Very hard" part in this..

Optiminer is still faster on a lot of gpu's, plus, what you see is what you get.
Claymore on the other hand takes his fee from what you see.
Optiminer doesn't do this. His fee is running parallel on top of what you're seeing.

Which is also a shitload better because the miner doesn't have to constantly switch to devfee and back.

That's of course my humble opinion.
152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are you the best PandaMiner reviewer we are looking for? on: March 17, 2017, 03:22:20 PM
its still a good price for what you are getting.  1500 to build a 8 card 470?  Where?  Not with quality parts, not even close.  EVGA 1300 / 8 x Sapphire 470 / MB (Good luck getting it) / cpu / memory / ssd / Metal frame (aluminum is what I make)

Your at close if not over 1900

Price is decent that's why i have a bunch coming =)  PLUS a Panda shirt lols


Absolutely right.

You should look at this from a large farm perspective.

Try to stack "normal gpu" rigs the way you could/would stack or place these..

I bet i can stack 50 of these while only being able to place 15 normal ones..


anyhow,

8 x 470 4G at an avarage of 170 dollar per gpu = 1360$
Find a decent PSU that can feed 8 GPU's, decent quality = around 300-350$?
CPU, Mem, Risers and extra risers because we all know how awesome these are. How much? 200$?
Mobo that supports 8 GPU's, definitely not under 100$, more likely to be near 200$

So very quickly calculated, that's around 2100$

Panda B3 = less than that..

154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are you the best PandaMiner reviewer we are looking for? on: March 17, 2017, 11:03:54 AM
The panda is pretty expensive for 8 laptop gpu's. Dual mining will probobly break it.. Bether to buy cards and build yourself..


Ok then sp_, go get yourself a custom mainboard that supports 8 GPU's that is this compact and power efficient...
Curious how "cheap" you're going to get it done Smiley

Seriously, going to bring up the dual mining subject?
If you want to shorten the lifespan of your gpu's (even non MXM), yeah dual mine.. risk of systems dropping, risk of frying gpu's, name it.. go ahead, it's your hardware..

And btw, i have done a dual mine test on those MXM gpu's, works just fine.. they will just die a lot sooner..
155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are you the best PandaMiner reviewer we are looking for? on: March 17, 2017, 10:55:04 AM
How can they be out of stock already??  Cry

Not very expensive, compact, ideal for a large farm.

Plus there's some guy who managed to raise hash even more and reduce power.. so yeah, you can turn it however you want, it is a very interesting product..

157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are you the best PandaMiner reviewer we are looking for? on: March 16, 2017, 01:07:09 PM
I am going to buy a rig from them.  I learned a long time ago  that pushing the coins  is more important then profit from the coins. (profit is still nice)

I would hope to get a better deal from them  then I did on the first rig.

But I am going to buy one of these anyway.

I like to be more independent and not owe good reviews for  builders of gear in turn for free gear.

But a decent discount I will take if they give it to me.

They sold out the first set of 500 units pretty fast  and gpu gear is in demand  so they will sell this out if the price is okay.

My suggestion to them is try to use 470's with 8gb of ram.

Not 480's with 4 gb of ram.

I am looking forward to an email with some kind of an offer from them.


470 8G is a big win, if not the biggest win..

I can push those higher than any other cards out there  Wink

Just to be completely clear here.

Before others start to fly and think they can undervolt..

0 - 7 are the DPM stages for the core clock.

You don't undervolt, you just set your core differently on a specific dpm stage.

As an example.

Open up polarisbioseditor, you'll see that there are 8 stages for the core clock. 0 -> 7



As you can see here, on the left you have the preset core clock settings and on the right you have the voltage settings.
300Mh being the only one with a preset voltage offset.
The other 7 will be auto calculated by the GPU. (By adding Global VDDC Offset in the rom, this can be manipulated).

What happens here isn't really "Undervolting", the only thing that does happen is that driverwise the core clock of a specific dpm stage is being modified, therfore the voltage remains the same as it was previously on that specific dpm stage.

So you are basically forcing a specific core clock to run on a specific voltage.

It's like this example:



Which is

1. Definitely not stable in most cases as it's not being autocalculated anymore.
2. Not how it "should" be.

It's a way, i'm pretty sure it'll work okish, but i'm also very sure, if you start messing around to much, your gpu's will fail.


That's the difference between forcing voltage or adding a global vddc offset in the rom where the voltage controller starts calculating from a lower voltage offset.


Just to be very clear here, it is "not" possible to really "undervolt". This can only be achieved in the rom itself.

Oh and for the Fans, or better, the haters, i'm not bashing anything here, i'm just writing down facts.

Greetings!
