The simplest is: http://polaris-bios-editor.eu/. Edit the BIOS with just one click timing patch. You must first memorize the original BIOs and save it if something goes wrong. Then edit the copy of the original BIOS with the specified program. After editing the BIOS, flash the new BIOS with: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/. I don't think you need 1200 MHz for GPU. For me, 1150 MHz hashes the same as 1200 MHz or higher. A lower frequency will allow you to better undervolt and save more electricity. Thanks for the BIOS info. And good suggestion. I'll mod the GPU setting **edit - crazy, that alone just dropped an overall 20w |

Yes there are lot of YouTube videos too... have a look to them always first... will do. If you know of any suggested youtube videos above others, please let me know. (as I'm sure there are tons) |

So I took the suggestion from some of you and placed HiveOS on one rig. It appears that I have it up and running and it's mining ETH via lolminer.
It's going at 21. So about the same as what it was on Windows with no overclocking settings.
What would you suggest for AMD RX570 8GB cards? I'm using one of the more popular templates suggested.
And how do you undervolt the power? it doesn't seem to accept a "-10"
So I've gotten a little further in my new journey, and I have the 1st rig setup with HiveOS. (off a USB of all things) I have (2) identical rigs so I'm trying to get this working correctly before I call it good and do the other rig. While I have been able to get a lower rate of wattage down, and it appears to be more stable (for the moment). I'm still only getting 21.8mh/s. Which is about 1-2mh lower than when I was running on Windows. I've played around with the overclocking settings and unless others have a better suggestion this appears to be the best I can get. Keeping in mind my BIOS is still stock on the GPU. Though I thought I was reading where some, with stock BIOS, where getting around 26-29mh/s. So... I was hoping. Is this the best I can get off this as it is? I'm guessing it will be suggested to carry forward and mod the bios if I want to get more out of it. So I guess that will be the next step. Interested in thoughts and opinions.  |

I play around with Linux on and off. But would running from a USB stick work? I guess I'm thinking in terms of Windows here, but it seems you need to have enough virtual memory space or HD space to accommodate the DAG. Not a problem within one of these like HiveOS? Just put on USB, boot and load lolminer?
Seems like dark magic you speak of.
HiveOS & Simplemining are both intended to run from USB sticks but can also be run from hard drives if you wish, I run HiveOS from an SSHD. https://hiveos.farm/https://simplemining.net/Only downside I'm seeing to this is the monthly fees I have to pay. Thinking I might load up Ubuntu Desktop, install AMD drivers and then run lolminer. |

Linux is so much better at resource management its not even funny
Then a test to Linux I shall go. Thanks for the input. |

So that's a question I have. I'm looking to move my RX570 off Win10 and into Linux. Is there a preferred flavour of linux? Can I go with Mint over Ubuntu?
Is there a walkthrough of preferred Linux settings (i haven't really found one. mostly Windows ones)
Why not try one of the specific mining Linux OS's such as HiveOS, Simplemining, etc. no need to struggle learning Linux, and these can run from USB sticks if you wish so no need to loose your Windows installation.

so, it has nothing to do with the driver version or a specific linux kernel version? but the readme file says The higher this parameter is choosen the more memory for a partial dag lolMiner is allowed to use. Thus the speed on your 4G cards will increase significantly. Given a recent driver (e.g. amdgpu-pro 20.30 or 20.40) and the right Linux kernel (best is 5.4 at the moment), you can almost always set a value of 4078, on many rigs even 4080. Older drivers or other Linux kernels may require significantly lower values and will perform slower.

out there question. 4Gb with Zombie mode are getting better than I am with my 8GB.
can Zombie mode be used with the higher cards? Would it improve them as well?
|

Well. I can confirm that in PCI-ex 16x slot even with 16x-16x riser speed is up to 28M.
Was a little mess with zombie auto tune on riser , but then set to auto seems normal.
in my case its 15
tried it, wait like 20min and it made it, in my case mine put on autozombie at 12.5 the x16 card and go up 24mhz, we can tune up it manually and change the tune on zombie mode?? It is crazy that 4GB miners are getting that rate. It'd be awesome if you could apply zombie mode to the 8GB cards and get higher hashrates too |

Is there a way to split lolminer so that cards 0,1,2 are mining eth to one wallet, and cards 3,4 are mining eth to a different wallet? (both eth)
I was thinking it would work like split mining but it didn't like it.

lol... that's kinda what I thought but I figured I would try and see if there was a chance to put some old cards into useful production.
ah well... it was a shot

Is it worth it to convert older video cards to mine?
For the time being take the electrical cost out of the equation.
I have (2) nVidia NVS 310 1GB cards that I'm wondering if I can just setup in a corner and just let them go.
what could they mine?

Hello all,
I am a newbie for mining ETH. I have 2 AMD cards and use lolMiner 1.18a. One is RX470, another one is RX570.
When I began mining ETH. I found my two cards Hashing rate were 22H/s, 24H/s respectively.
1) What I can do on my cards modding up to 30H/s like other people?
Moreover, I found the temperature around 74C degree even they were at lower hashing rate.
2) Would I need to lower the core voltage in order to get cooler temperature?
Thank you for your helps! 1) 4GB -- normal hashrate 19 - 20 MH/s 8GB -- 29 - 31 MH/s 2) start with 900 mV and then try to go lower (some of my rigs can handle 868 mV, some are at 881 mV) Complete true... that 4Gb values are with the actual Epoch... it will continue going down each 4-5days... Well that's weird because I'm running lolminer 1.19, and RX5708GB cards and they are all around the 22MH. I can't get it back up to 30+ like I used to in Claymore RX470/580 8Gb can run 32Mhs if you have the correct BIOS Mod on it... you should check your Bios Card Ok.... it freaks me out a little to do this to a video card as I havne't done it before. Is there some step-by-step and reliable source I can get what I need from? I'm going to do it. Here's what I'm running: Windows 10 x64 (12) AMD RX570 8G cards (current AMD driver 20.12.1) lolminer 1.19 Adding in a snapshot of my AMD via GPUz https://josh.lindemanns.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/RX570.jpg |

Like many last month I was thrown when Claymore suddenly stopped. And not only that, it wasn't going to get updated. Dev fees aside, it was stable and it worked very well. But just like others I had to find myself a new miner. I'd used lolminer before so I quickly jumped to it and got it up and running. I was a little dishearted to find that I was only getting a hash of 19, whereas with Claymore I was getting about 33. It was suggested to use AMDTweak and I was able to squeeze out another 1.5 - 2 hash. And I'm currently using the AMD software to underpower, increase fans, but when I attempt to set the GPU clock speeds it tends to run for a while and then driver crashes. I'm doing about 21-22 hashrate at the moment using lolminer 1.19 What I'm wondering is; has anyone done a comparison between ethminer, team red miner, lolminer and phoenix? I'd love to hear some comparisons and hear which may be the best one to settle with. I'm just trying to get back up to the old hashrate (or closer to it) Each rig is: Windows 10 x64 (12) AMD RX570 8G cards (AMD driver 20.11.3) lolminer 1.19 AMDTweak 1.1.0.3 Adding in a snapshot of my AMD via GPUz https://josh.lindemanns.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/RX570.jpg |

Hi everyone! I was one of the many previously using Claymore to mine ETH until recently. I've now switched over to the current version of lolminer. In doing so I noticed my hashrate dropped and attempting to get it back up again. It was recommended to use AMDmemTweakXL. And after launching and changing the refresh from (5) to (30) on each card I already gained another 1.5mhs per card. Claymore's had some settings I made in the command line that increased the hash; [-dbg -1 -mport 3333 -mpsw Miner1 -etha 0 -tt 80 -tstop 90 -eres 0 -rxboost 1 -y 1 -powlim -10 -cclock 1200 -cvddc 820 -mclock 2150 -mvddc 900 -fanmin 90 -fanmax 100 -strap 1] I know that Claymore and lolminer are different and I may not get the same hashrate, but I am looking at the AMDmemTweakXL and I'm thinking I could do the same here to bring it up some more, but there's a LOT more settings (and sub-settings) to mess with. I'm asking to see if anyone has already done what I'm trying here. At least a better starting point (and perhaps some pointers). Each rig is: Windows 10 x64 (12) AMD RX570 8G cards (current AMD driver 20.4.1, but 20.11.3 is available) lolminer 1.16a AMDTweak 1.1.0.3 Adding in a snapshot of my AMD via GPUz  Hmmm...anyone out there? I'm a newbie here when it comes to doing this deep of config. The idea of flashing the bios of each card is a little terrifying and looking for some help on this. Digging a little further into GPUz I find I'm using Polaris20 (ver015.050) on the AMD bios. And then if I do that, help with some basic timings to reduce the power (-10) or increasing the cclock or clock fearful of damaging anything and looking for some guidance. |

It appears this must not be possible for me? I attempt to use MPT. I've backed up my current BIOS using GPUz, but when I attempt to load into MPT it states "not supported" Each rig is: Windows 10 x64 (12) AMD RX570 8G cards (current AMD driver 20.4.1, but 20.11.3 is available) lolminer 1.16a AMDTweak 1.1.0.3 Adding in a snapshot of my AMD via GPUz https://josh.lindemanns.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/RX570.jpgTo load MPT is not need it, but if you want it. You have to open More Power Tool (MPT) and save the file :-) Well, at the moment MPT doesn't seem to do anything for me. I made a backup of my current AMD BIOS, but MPT can't open that kind of file (not supported). The drop-down is blank and clicking save does nothing. THe AMDTweak thread is pretty dead, so not getting a lot of help over there. |

Yes these are the correct ones... You also need to know which program will you use for flashing... if you are in HiveOS/RaveOS you can use their system or in Windows the AtiFlash... The normal steps in resume are: - Extract BIOS (If you are in Windows you can use GPU-Z in RaveOS/HiveOS you can extract from website) - With the ROM Bios File apply directly the Polaris-bios-editor - 1 click - Reflash (Windows with Ati Flasher in Admin Mode and in RaveOS/Hiveos with his uploader).
