With the power tables im at 460W - still insanely high but cant help myself..Just one night

I only have the one out of 4 on hand - will try with the other cards tomorrow.

I don't know, could it be motherboard related? ASUS b250 mining coupled with the nitro 56 is not that mature yet.
Motherboard bios update did not help the matter. Guess i'll just mine with this overnight for the hell of it and report back tomorrow when testing another card.

Got the "normal" wattman. yay..

BUT still jumping from 130 to ~600watts with the settings you posted.

edit: those settings are: Disable/enabe > -30% GPU freq > 950 memory > 3000 min rpm > Cast XMR  Sad

Yea, im on it!

I can do it manually, but the slider wont go further  Tongue

The power tables are gone, also while testing your previous config.

Vega card never had monitor, only on-board chip on intel CPU is used.

I want to test your Cast XMR config, but after DDU i have trouble getting wattman back (normally its accessible from statusbar or right-click)
I installed the driver and rebooted link 5 times already. Maybe I should DDU once again..

Btw, earlier when wattman was running fine, i could only downscale GPU Frequency to a maximum of 4%?

Ill keep trying to get the driver working....

Ok man.. try this one....

Just make intenstiy in xmr 1932.... Open OverdriveNTool .... and make this.

P6 1498 -1100
P7 1538-1150

for memory P3 950-950 ...
Fan... 3000+
Target Temp 85
Power target -10 or -20

And try Consumption...

and yes wattman is buggy.. but when you using only 56 and you make tham stable.. and you can check your rig every day... can be used..

I am stuck at the moment, fans refuses to come on after i DDU'd and re-installed. Only during boot and if i 'disable' the display driver in 'device manager' will they start to spin.
I ran the numbers you gave my anyway, just for 5 seconds to see if consumption was changed. With your config i reached 600~ watt  Huh

Alright I will skip the power play table. I just DDU'd drivers and reinstalled blockchain driver. Is wattman as dangerous/buggy as stated at vega.miningguide.com?

Thanks for helping me guys..

Im using a clone of the well known kill-a-watt meter, its pretty accurate when measuring light bulbs atleast. Are there better alternatives?
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Vega 56 NITRO+ Power Consumption issue on: January 07, 2018, 01:58:45 PM
Nice to know that it can be fixed tho!

I dont know what it is, not much room for error i think. I used the "safe" .reg file and the same settings listed for overdrive provided in the guide.
Kind of frustrating. Currently im repeating the steps in the guide, but without any luck really.. still at 450watt from 1 mining card

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Vega 56 NITRO+ Power Consumption issue on: January 07, 2018, 01:00:11 PM
Managing cables is not fun for this build.. Anyway, I cant really find any confirmation that this card would draw more power doing the same stuff as a reference vega.
Any information is appreciated!

Yea, could be that third 8pin connector. I thought it would only come into play when doing overclocking, i dont really see why
it should consume THAT much more than reference Vegas. Cooling is very nice and silent, yes  Grin

Hi everyone, recently i decided to join the vega mining train. What I have is 4 of the cards written in the title.
I followed the guide from very thoroughly (still using standard settings without much tweaking)
http://vega.miningguides.com and everything is working nicely.

I am currently only using 1 out of the 4 cards.
The only issue i have is power, hashrate is stable and just below 1900.
From idle (~130watt) to mining using XMR-stak (~450watt) seems way more than what everyone else are consuming.
The settings im using is 945MHz memory and 1407MHz gpu.

Am I missing something? - This is my first time mining
