1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Ethereum miner doesn't work anymore :( on: June 23, 2018, 11:40:53 PM
Hello,
I built a mining rig in January of this year, and on the 15th of June this month, it seems to have stopped mining.
I read somewhere that I might have to update the Claymore miner. I did this and it still doesn't work.
The bat file shows "No NVidia, AMD, GPU's connected" or something along that line. It exits too quickly.
Is there anything else I need to do?
I built the rig a long time ago and kind of forgot how I did it originally.

How about installing the hynix card first? can you do overclocking?

there is this settings in the MSI AB to untick the Synchronized settings for similar graphics card in order to set clocks individually.

I am just wondering on the greyed out issue, that problem is seen in incompatible driver to MSI AB versions, however you've told that its working on 3 gpus so its kinda weird.
The 4 GPU's worked when I used them all individually, just not when I have them all connected. I only have 1 Elpida card and 3 Hynix cards. Not even sure why since I ordered them all from the same link on Newegg.
I will try unplugging the Elpida card and see if Afterburner works on just the 3 Hynix cards.

I think that is it without a doubt.  If you are running that many cards you simply need to bios mod them 1 at a time
The only thing I tried changing in the overclocking was my speeds. I was using 1150/2100 and got the best speeds that way it seems. How do I do that with Polaris?

I have never had much luck overclocking multiple cards at the same time. It has always worked better for me to do one card at a time. It can be a slow process but worth the wait.
Do the settings save though? It seems when I overclock one card at a time and then reset the computer, my overclock settings change

try blockchain driver
Where/how do I get that?

AfterBurner has to be running after the reboot.  Did you set it to run at startup?  Just look and see if your overclock settings are still there in AfterBurner after the reboot.  If not, I guess you didn't save them.
If I open up Afterburner, I don't see any options for my cards. The 4 GPU Cards show up but everything is greyed out and I can't change any settings.

Please Clarify, from your first post you've done overclocking, so now its now greyed out?

but when I start the rig up I don't think they are overclocked anymore

There is an option in MSI afterburner to start the App in startup, what you need to do is to save first your Overclocking setting by clicking the floppy disk Icons and tick the windows startup option.

So when I was overclocking originally, I did it one card at a time and it worked fine. Now, when I have all 4 cards connected, it is greyed out and I can't change anything.
I did one card at a time, and all my Hynix cards worked fine but the Elpida one would crash on me.

Hey everyone,
I am wanting to Overclock my cards. I have 4 RX570 GPU's. 3 of which are Hynix, and 1 is an Elpida memory which I can't overclock without crashing the rig.
Is there a way for me to overclock the other 3 cards? I have done them all individually with MSI Afterburner, but when I start the rig up I don't think they are overclocked anymore. I am getting around 25Mh/s of hash on each of the cards, but I was hoping to get to around 28 or 29 if possible.

I am not sure if I can paste hyperlinks here, so I will just tell you to search for Anorak tech website and "Sapphire RX 570 Nitro+ OC 4GB Elpida"
The manufacturing company is different but the memory and gpu are the same and that's more important.
Search for a post from:
USER: Deecept   Aug '17
Try this one
rx570_1150-2100_rev2.rom484 (256 KB)

you bios flash one card and see if it's better.
Don't forget to overclock the memory (with MSI Afterburner for ex.): GPU clock 1150 - memory 2100 mhz

PS: as I wrote always have a backup of original ROM.
So I actually tried this yesterday and was getting about 29Mh/s without overclocking on the one card! Thought that was great, but then my screen goes blank after about 6 minutes and I have to do a hard shutdown. Not sure what is causing that. I had only the 1 card plugged in and it never got above 70C

You dont have to take the cards out of the system to check the "bad" card..
Specify the cards in your bat file. -di 0,1,2,3,4...... Go to steps... -di 0, check if it working.. Instert -di 1.. check if its working... And so on.. It will save you some time with rebootig and taking your cards out Wink
Sorry, how exactly would I do that in the bat file? Just -di GPU0 to disconnect that card?

Isolate it by excluding other GPU's, like installing 1 GPU 1st fire up claymore if success, then 2,3,4 by then you could determine what might be the problem, most common will be the Riser and your PSU, ensure that your PSU could handle 4 GPU power.

I will try this when I get home. The PSU is 1200W Platinum rated so I think it should be good.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Mining Rig Crashing? Also need help with Hynix hashrates on RX570 card. on: January 22, 2018, 04:56:59 AM
Hey everyone,
I need a bit of help with 2 things.
First of all, I have 4 RX570 GPUs. Apparently 1/4 is a Elpida type memory, which I found a config for and got a 29Mh/s speed with. The other 3 are Hynix and I can only get around 19.5 out of it.
Now the main issue I am having now is that when I run my Claymore miner, it will go for about 10 minutes, and then my screen goes a weird blue color and I can't do anything, and my GPUs turn off. I can't hit the power button since nothing happens so I need to power off the PSU and then power everything back on. Any ideas?
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Issues setting up my mining rig (4x RX570's) on: January 22, 2018, 02:14:28 AM
- First disconnect the risers from the MOBO.
- after turning on the rig go to BIOS and set primary display as IFGX
- turn off
- put 1 riser back
- turn on
- in windows go and download GPU-Z from techpowerup, read the memory type (GDDR5) who is the manufacturer
- find appropriate mod for the exact memory type
- what amd driver you are using? search for DDU uninstall and after cleaning download and install amd blockchain driver
- when your done flash with new mod using atiwinflash 2.77
- download and run atikmdag-patcher
- repeat the process with the other cards

PS: you should always do a backup of your GPU BIOS rom

hope this will help..

I just got GPU-Z, and it shows me GDDR5 (Elpida) under Memory Type.
I am using the newest AMD drivers now. I used DDU to wipe the drivers and install the latest ones (18.1.1)
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Issues setting up my mining rig (4x RX570's) on: January 21, 2018, 10:52:54 PM
Why not use the newest amd driver?
I thought I read somewhere that the newest drivers weren't setup to run the BIOS changes very well or something like that. Could have been an old thread though.
I was using the newest drivers and still only getting about 17.5MH/s on each card.

With a modded Bios on RX 470/480 and 570 cards you need to use the AMD pixel patcher to bypass the signature check or you will have a code 43 error in the Windows Device Manager and they won't work. Most RX 580's don't need the patcher. Apply the patcher after installing or updating the AMD driver and reboot. If you are still having trouble, try removing the drivers in safe mode using DDU, install the latest AMD driver, apply the pixel patcher and toggle compute mode on in AMD settings for all the cards.

https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
I just tried booting into safe mode through msconfig and now I only see a black screen and nothing else! I am connected to one of my video cards with HDMI and I can't get it out of safe mode!

As I said, if you modded the Bios on RX 570's they won't work unless you run the pixel patcher after installing or updating the drivers. Try connecting to the onboard  video to get in to safe mode and run DDU to remove the drivers. After that reboot, install the latest driver from AMD and run the pixel patcher before you reboot.
I ran that program you sent me, then I went to run in safe mode but I only have a black screen. I will try using onboard video tomorrow when I can get a VGA cable.

It is always a good practice that you go first in the BIOS and set primary display as IFGX which means primary display will be used the onboard graphics, you can hook up anything your motherboard supports, usually VGA is there as an option. After that you start troubleshooting your rig, by installing cards one by one and modifying their BIOS (check BURIEDONE videos on YouTube).
So I need to go through the motherboard and not a graphics card? My motherboard only has VGA and I don't even have a VGA cable

What memory is on the gpus? Samsung? Hynix?
Use GPU-Z
I am not sure what memory it is. The cards are these ones: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137123

Hey everyone.
I mined a bit of Litecoin back in the day, and then a bit of other alts on my current home PC so I figured I was an expert and was totally qualified to make a mining rig!
Well, after building it and setting everything up, I was getting 17-17.5 MH/s on each card, but I read that other people were able to get 28-30MH/s with the same kind of card.
Anyway, after googling to try and figure it out ( Never done this before in my life) I got the bios from ATIFlash, then used Polaris to try and change some of the settings.
When I flashed that bios into the card and restarted my computer, I had only 3/4 cards showing up on my Claymore miner.
I went back into Polaris and flashed the card back to the original bios and all 4 cards showed up, but one of them was only getting about 3.8MH/s.
Is anyone able to help!
