The problem with undervolting is that it might crash every few hours or so. And you have to manually restart the mining.
Got 96 nano's running for weeks with my rom. No issues. The issues start when i go lower than -125mV.

Believe me, you can't imagine how much testing i've done...

not to mention removing the warranty with all those bios flash, i would certainly not do it with so many gpu, the risk to screw one is high, and those card are expensive, it must be said that without this mod, having 1500w for 170 mega on ETH, is not good at all,  a 970 can do 1k and 132 mega, this is almost 200 mega with 1500w

Well, you've got a point there. But like i've said, secondary bios switch. The risk to screw one isn't "that" high. If you go to low on the volts it will just crash the display driver and reset itself. So no risk there.
If you "OVER"volt, then yeah, you could risk screwing it up.

170Mh/s, 6cards, 1500watt, true. Those cards are getting pushed, i haven't mentioned that i upped the Powertune to 50 which will also consume some extra energy.
Bumping the cards from 1000 core clock to 1050 core clock will gain you an easy 10Mh/s at only 60-70 watt extra (Complete rig)

Again, my power draw is all from the wall. So Motherboard, cpu, Memory, 6 cards that have to get power, 6 risers that all need some power.

If i do this test on 1 card, directly seated into the PCI slot (which i have done) the power draw is A LOT less.

I haven't really calculated on this to happen either. But it's still okay Smiley

Thanks for the good efforts.
So the memory consumes very little energy. With -100mV, power drops from 1100 to 1055W.
Yes indeed, it didn't drop very hard.
Although. When using a stress program like 3DMark the memory controller will be using A LOT more of energy, because basically the memory will be used :p

When mining Ethereum, or any other algo, the memory on Fiji isn't really being used at it's fullest. Well, Almost not.

So cranking that down to -100mV was basically logical for me to do as it's not needed.

(-100mV will still be perfect for the HBM mem to run on 500clock at full load) "Stress test in 3DMark".


Is there R9 390 mod? The default memory speed is 1500 MHz, but we only need 1250 to mine Ethereum. So memory voltage mod is useful.

You could create one Smiley

I believe there are plenty of Hawaii tutorials out there :p

if you have questions, just ask, no worries!


Eliovp,
Excellent initiative, albeit a risky one.  Those cards cost around $500-520 each?

Would you happen to know how to undervolt an R9 380X by BIOS mod?
I tried the Hedzin BIOS reader, but that didnt work on on my card.


Thx!
Well i got a nice discount because i bought in bulk :p

Well, it's probably the same as like i've done.
Just different numbers.

I believe i have seen an Hawaii Bios Editor somewhere. Just don't know where. So that could be easy to do.

Dunno for Tonga though.

Domain is down, all links here are down.

I put everything i shared here and in other threads (kind of) in a small package.

Link: - Here -


Rom update for Zcash
Zcash Nano Rom  Wink

This one is heavy, you'll need to have a killer nano to be able to handle this.
Link: Here
Reduced core voltage, raised memory voltage (which is needed)


Second one: A little softer

Link: Here
No reduced core voltage, increased memory voltage (+25mV)
Stock memory clock is 550 with the option to raise to 600max.

Have fun!


Rom update
For more information check my post regarding this.
Link : -Here-


Small update (got a pm from someone with issues.)
For those with problems, this package "here" includes -106mV, -112mV, -118mV and -125mV memory clock.
Core clock is still 800 stock, memclock 300, core voltage -100.

If you still have problems with one of these roms, pump up your core voltage (+6mV), some cards just won't do -100mV with a monitor attached.


New Update

Details rom usage.
---------------
Ethereum tests:

134 Mh/s 140 Mh/s @ 2.25A, 495watt (6 Cards) stock settings rom

185 Mh/s @ 4.8A, 1050 watt (6 Cards) 1020 Core, 300 Mem


Details package
---------------
-175mV(memory) rom
-200mV(memory) rom (only for the silicon lottery winners!)
Atiflash (command line flash tool)
AtiWinFlash (Gui version)
Readme.txt


Details ROMs
-----------
Core voltage is set at -100mV
You can go lower with software like afterburner.
Do this in steps. F.e. +6mV, if stable, try +12mV.. and so on..

I noticed that -100mV is the most stable for all cards (i have 100 so i know..)
Some will even do -125mV without issues.

Memory Voltage first rom is set at -175mV
Works perfectly when mining Ethereum, other more memory intensive algo's could be a problem though.

Memory Voltage second rom is set at -200mV
This will work just fine with this rom when mining Ethereum or any other algo that isn't so memory intensive Smiley
Please try the -175mV one first before you try the -200mV one, it's even better to try the -125mV one to see if your system is stable or not!
Link for the -125 package is on top in the last update.


Core clock is set at 800 stock for both rome but can easily be raised to 1000 or higher.
Memory Clock is set at 300 stock, also on both roms, this can also be raised but i would advice not to. IT has not point anyway....


AtiFlash.exe
------------
I use this one because i just like it and has never given me any issues.
It is NOT possible to use a version of atiflash when your system is loaded with a bootable drive (ex. Win 98 USBboot)

Steps:
1. Unpack everything to a folder of your choice.
2. Run cmd as administrator, go to where your folder is located.
3. To flash enter atiflash -p -f 0 DPM-200mV.rom, wait until atiflash tells you to restart.

!!!: Do NOT have HWiNFO , GPU-Z, MSI AB, etc running in the background when flashing card!

AtiWinflash.exe
--------------
Run as Administrator.
Easy does it...


References
--------------
OCN Fiji Bios Editing


Issues?
-------
I would advice everyone, after you flash your card(s) to remove your driver with DDU
and reinstall your driver. This always works! It takes some more time but it's worth it.

You can however just restart (don't just restart, completely shut down your system) "Power off!",
go to crimson preferences and reset everything.

Remove any profiles you have in afterburner (Program Files(x86) - MSI Afterburner - Profiles)
Remove settings from Trixx
Idem for any other OC tools.

You can always contact me with questions!

Greetings

Heliox.

Some old info and blabla:

Hey,

As we all know, the R9 Nano is one of the most energy efficient GPU's out there at this moment.

In the past months i've done numerous of tests on how to get this card as stable and as power efficient as possible.

I've been thinking about sharing my results and tests and came to the conclusion to keep it short and as helpful as possible for every Nano owner out there.

I modded my Sapphire Nano rom to the point that it almost dropped 50% in power usage at the same speed  Grin

And i would like to share that.

Please be careful. (you have a secondary bios switch, so you can always switch back)



For all the *nix users out there. This might be very interesting for you guys because i know what a hassle it is to change voltage in linux. Yeah.. not...

Also, if you want to flash in Linux, that isn't possible right now. You'll need Windows. (And not a bootable version! Won't work on Fiji..)


Enjoy!

After hard reset and the Windows reloads, but it might say it was not shutdown properly, so the screen stops at that dialogue screen, you need to use mouse to click the restart. But how do you have access to the mouse remotely?

You can turn that off.

open a command prompt window and enter this

Code:
bcdedit /set bootstatuspolicy ignoreshutdownfailures

Voila
604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Remote Hard Reset for GPU Rigs? on: March 31, 2016, 07:10:28 PM
The app included works nicely as well. (obviously :p)

The power meter function is very fancy.  Cool

605  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Hardware Comparison on: March 31, 2016, 07:01:50 PM
Btw.

Over 300 Cards/configs already!

Keep em coming guys!

Yeah i know, i seriously need to do an upgrade....




Those 14 Inactive cards are either Unrealistic or incomplete submissions...

These are the ones i've got to remotely reboot. Although that i never need to do that.



Not cheap but they work fantastically!
This is probably the easiest solution, what are they called? Smiley

Does anybody notice when the DAG files become larger, the R9 390 and Nano's hash rate also decrease?

I haven't noticed any decrease in speed with my Nano's, neither on my 390's.

Maybe when the DAG reaches +2GB. But i doubt it..

I remember the original for Bitcoin.  IMO you have too much data with yours; needs codification.

I have a "huge" todo list.. just don't know where to start first.
610  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ethOS - Ethereum Mining Platform on: March 27, 2016, 10:00:05 PM
I was waiting for someone to make a mining hardware comparison.   Grin

Haha, it's been around for a while now.

Need to update it as soon as possible though..
611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ethOS - Ethereum Mining Platform on: March 27, 2016, 09:13:37 PM
Hello?
Does this OS have full headless boot; no dummy plug required?

It does, my windows setup does as well.

Is a driver thing, not an OS thing.

Anyway, it should work without a monitor attached.

The dev of this fork asked me to do a Win64 release. To be clear - my signature asserts it was built from the https://github.com/tpruvot/sgminer repository at commit cfc6e1ede0e385a9c0d4aea61692f79698b3e93a, and does NOT imply I vouch for the sources therein - only that they were compiled as-is.

any Binaries of this around

Got a good Hawaii one if you want..

thanks but i mean
 the complete miner .exe

I would ask the dev for that. Or a respected member like Wolf.

I wouldn't trust anyone else with exe's.

615  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Powered PCIE Riser cables. on: March 22, 2016, 06:28:45 AM
What is a good store to buy powered 1x to 16x or 16x to 16x  PCIE risers from. It appears to be hit or miss when ordering them.

You can find them at the shop on my sig, if you're in the US. IF you're in Canada, there is Bitcoinware but he is a trash company. If you have time, order them yourself from China. Otherwise if you're really desperate you can get them quick at 400% markup from Amazon.

Better get them @ Amazon.

Cheaper, ships worldwide without a hassle (and fast!)

2 Eliovp

Could you please post gpu-z screenshot from Fury (Nano) mining etherium? Is there a memory controller load data?
How do you think what is the reason why Fury cannot beat Hawaii in ETH mining?

I could do that from one of my nano's yes. Fury not anymore, i sold those.



I'm sure a Fury can beat any hawaii card. If you OC it high enough that is Smiley

Same for Hawaii, if you run a high end hawaii card at stock clocks, and you run a fury x at stock clocks it'll go faster.

If you oc that hawaii card, it'll beat that fury. Obviously....

curious; that much difference between windows 7/8 and 10?!

Check the clocks...

+ it's users input, they can basically input whatever they want. I do however check it but i seem to overlook things sometimes..

In this case it seems to be alright i guess..
As far as I was aware Windows 10 caused more issues and slowed things down more? Or maybe I'm mistaken.
The values there are entered by users so we can't take them for gospel. The dev needs to add a rating or something so we know which values are trustworthy

I am the dev :p

I can implement a rating yes.

There is already an option to leave a comment on each card/config.

Again, check the clocks. The windows 7 input has stock clocks. The Windows 10 input has a strong OC (higher core clocks).

Also, i'm running windows 10, tried on 7 and 8.1 as well, windows 10 came out best for me.

If the profitability goes down to a point where you're losing money there's still the option of selling the cards.

Most people here seem to forget that..
