I have a strong feeling that they were using these miners themselves to mine Cryptonight coins. Why would they miss this opportunity to mine Cryptonight coins at 220 Kh @550w per machine themselves, making USD 5000 per month per machine?
Now they fear that Monero (and soon other Cryptonight coins) will modify their code to brick this ASIC, they are selling them out to customers. So they are making profit in every possible way.
Just a thought.
That's how ASIC manufacturers have ALWAYS done business. They sell HEAVILY USED equipment as "new" after they've taken 80+% of the profit. If that is true then I expect Monero (and later other Cryptonight coins) difficulty to go down (significantly) after this Monero fork. |

Thank you very much! I will start it with this config for now. Can you tell me what to mine eth or etc? My plan is eth
You hardware config is good enough for two 570's. I like to mine and hold my coins for 4-8 months. So I look for coins with potential for high future growth. ETH rewards have been quite stable (although not as good as they used to be a few months back). So if you would like to cash out every now and then, I would say go for ETH. You can find out the most profitable coin at this website. https://whattomine.com/Plug in your numbers; i.e., number of 570s, electricity unit cost etc. This website will tell you how much you can earn and which coin is the most profitable. |

Are you using the same version of mining software and AMD driver in SMOS?

Just a general comment on your config. Is your PSU 735W? You may want to use a 1000-1200 W PSU if you want to add 6 GPUs to your rig. I am running 6 570's and mining Sumokoin (Cryptonight algorithm). My rig needs around 700 W on the wall. I use Crossair 1000W PSU.
Note that Ethereum mining will need slightly higher wattage. Also, dual mining will need even higher wattage. So you may want to consider these factors as well.

Also, can you lower down intensity to 416 from 896 in your .conf file and see if that works?

Looks like an issue with you driver. Had the same issue this morning with Sgminer when I tried to shift to Sumokoin from Electroneum on my Rx560 rig. Can you report the followings for further investigation?
1) Try Claymore v11 pool version and see if that works
2) Which driver version you are using? Have you tried Crimson Relive 17.7.2?

 I'm getting these errors using sgminer-gm v5.5.5 Any ideas? Right now, sgminer is initializing the built-in intel HD graphics card. You need to tell sgminer to use AMD cards. Try setting --gpu-platform 0 in your .bat file. If that does not work, try --gpu-platform 1. |

So, i had to downclock my cards to 2000 on memory as it was unstable. Looks like your settings don't really help, only about a 10h/s increase on each card 😐 I have gigabyte 4gb rx 560s. Any ideas?
Which miner you are using and what is your config file? Also, do you know how many compute units your card has? You can obtain compute unit values by running Claymore cryptonight miner. It shows compute unit number at the start. Using XMR stack. Have 16 Compute unit cores and the memory is 7000mhz, Flashed with click auto bios. I have been altering my config files like changing intensity, worksize, etc. Feel like my cards are just a bad bunch  I was having troubles getting sg miner to work. Will get it sorted tomorrow when I have time. Try sgminer version 5.5 from genesis mining. I am currently using this version and it works great with core 1130, memory 1950 and 950 mV undervolt. Take special care of gpu-platform settings. |

I built my first Cryptonight rig a few months back using Sapphire Pulse RX 570 and was able to get 915 h/s @ 95 watt on the wall. Due to high prices and unavailability of RX 570s, I decided to give RX 560s a shot. I am glad to mention that I am able to obtain 515 h/s @ 40 watt on the wall for AMD RX 560 while mining Electroneum/Sumokoin (will be true for all Cryptonight coins e.g., Monero, Karbo). You can see the proof of hashrate and clock settings at this link: https://imgur.com/a/q1iKkI am using sgminer-gm 5.5 with rawintensity 416 and worksize 8. The trick was to use 2 gpu threads in the config file as follows: "rawintensity": "416", "worksize": "8", "gpu-threads": "2" My GPU is Asus OC 2gb Polaris 14nm 1210 Ghz core and 1750 Mhz memory clock. It uses Elpida DDR5 memory. Its bios is modified using Polaris 1.6.6 editor's one click patch option and that was pretty much it. (I tried Sapphire RX Pulse 4gb version but could not get it above 410 h/s). I tried Crimson Beta 17.30 Blockchain driver but it kept on crashing. Finally managed to make Crimson relive 17.7 work.

How did you arrive at the rawIntensity number? I found a few bits of advice from one of the SGMiner-GM devs - OhGodAGirl - in several threads: The formula for rawintensity is #(CUs) x worksize x 4 - so, for a 280x, you'd have 32 x 4 x 4. That gives us 512.
Worksize of 8 can be used, but make sure to change gpu-threads to 1 then (instead of 2).
Start with calculated rawintensity then decrease by 8 to find best hashrate.
Don't ever use xIntensity. Rawintensity only. So I started with rI of 256, worksize = 4 and gpu-threads = 2 and got fairly anemic results. Changing worksize to 8 improved hashrate, while changing gpu-threads to 1 reduced hashrate, so I went back to 2. Right then I knew the above info wasn't useful, so I decided to do a binary search to find the best rI. Since I was at 256 the next increment was 512, but that resulted in SGMiner-GM crashing soon after starting up. Next up was 384 - halfway between 256 and 512 - and that was faster than 256, so next was 416, and that was faster still, but by a much smaller margin so I felt like I was getting pretty close to the optimal setting. Turns out that was just a tad too high because the rig would still crash after a few hours so I dropped rI to 408 and it's been humming along ever since. My average hashrate isn't quite as good as yours, though - 458 H/s per card - but it's a lot better than the 330 H/s or so they delivered in stock form. I like your systematic approach to reach these numbers. I followed slightly different calculations for building my rx 570 right. I ended up using rawintensity 896 and worksize 8 for my rx 570s. Since rx 560 uses 16 compute units (as compared to rx 570 32 units) I halved rawintensity and then reduced it until I reached optimal value which is 416. I ran my 560 for 3 straight days without error. Btw I like to restart my rig after every 24 hours automatically. |

It is micron. I am jealious that other people can manage 13, which is more than 30% of mine. I just want to be successful, before adding more cards. But still have no clue... Did you modify bios? |

I can't get the same numbers, saphire pulse 2gb lite, elpida ram, one click patch. 440-460 h/s
I ran into the same issue with Sapphire pulse 560 4gb. Could not get over 410 h/s. So I switched to Asus 2gb card which gives 515 h/s |

Hey !
I've 6x Gigabyte RX560 4gb Micron Rev2 and i'm looking for the same hrate.
Can you share a bios and the oc please ?
I've god 370h/s with SMOS and 1050/2000 OC
I would be grateful
Hey Mate, I used Polaris 1.6.6 one click patch to modify the default bios. That was it. Not sure how to share a file on bitcointalk. My oc settings are 1130 for gpu and 1950 for memory. Btw, I am using Windows 10 and sgminer. So not sure about SMOS. |
