The 9.3 version. I did not tweak anything at all on the powerlevels. Just crashed them from 6 -> 0 and it was all still happy.

Well not really. Powerlevel 0 is a serious undervolt.
I'm only confused since On a 1150/1970 my asus 470 is only getting 27.85Mh. Both clocks higher.. but then again I'm using the 1500 strap on hynix memory. (Using claymore 8.1)
But 28Mh at powerlevel 0 is not shitty at all. Great MH to power ratio.
I was unsure if powerlevel 0 was actually undervolting them successfully, but I assumed so as well so I figure that contributes. Now these clocks and power levels will most likely not work for say ZCash or ZClassic. |

With those setting you have to be pushing the hell out of that psu
I know 1k is the safe number for the power and it'll do over that but damn
It hasn't tripped once so I feel okay with it.. I assume like 100-120 watts per card so that's like 700-840w + the CPU/mobo which is maybe another 50 at most.. Remember, ETH is memory intensive and not GPU core intensive so I doubt the cards are pulling the full wattage anyone stressed tested them at in all the reviews. |

Elpida? What straps are you using? I get only 27mh/s on 1900 with 1500 straps
Yes, Elpida. I just copied the 1500 straps originally, but I read somewhere that Elpida works better with 1625 ones, so I'm using those. Looks like I'm trying to get them stable between 1925 and 1950, those scrape on 28MHs. |

My 7x rigs are running perfectly.. all run off of 1kw PSU..
thats impressive soothaa -- what GPUs are your running ? What kind of down clock are you using too? Uhh these are ASUS ROG RX 570's. Shitty, shitty memory. Only getting ~28MHs per card Running at 1100/1900 at Powerlevel 0 |

Most likely it is not capable of providing that many lanes of PCIe to support 8+
I have two H81 BTC Pro boards but idk if buying two $25 things just to add one more GPU per is worth..

Crap I don't believe mine is powered which will, in my experience with this bleeding edge hardware, will cause issues..
I don't recall the listings for the splitters I purchased mentioning anything about them being powered, which is why I was surprised to discover it was powered when the first one arrived and is also why I mentioned here. Thanks for the info - I'll post when mine gets here. Should be sometime this week. |

how many cards can you stick into the splitters - its has 3 slots - did you use all three?
Yes, I used all three slots. I have 6 risers plugged into 6 PCIe slots on the board, the 1 to 3 splitter plugged into the 7th PCIe slot, and 3 risers plugged into the splitter. Note that the 1 to 3 splitter is powered, I believe it has a Molex connector. Crap I don't believe mine is powered which will, in my experience with this bleeding edge hardware, will cause issues.. |

Are you using that modified BIOS that's floating around or did you tweak it yourself?
Are you using a 1->3 "splitter" or a M.2 slot adapter?
I am using the latest MSI BIOS. It was my understanding from my research that the "hacked BIOS" was created before MSI introduced the latest BIOS and was thereafter obsolete. I am using the 1 to 3 PCIe splitter. It comes in a blue box, and it looks like all of the Amazon and eBay vendors are selling the same product. Awesome, thanks for the info! Already have one of those on the way and I'll be buying two of the M.2 adapters since they're so damn cheap and trying those as well. |

Also, this board can handle more than 7 cards.  Will it work up to 8 or can it go to 9 or 10? All I can say is that my boards are stable for weeks at a time running 9 RX 470 4GB cards. I haven't tried 10 cards because my rigs have been so damn stable with their current setup, I didn't want to risk introducing new issues, especially with mining difficulty increases as of late, since the prospect of obtaining additional RX 470s at a reasonable price appears to be minimal at best. I have a vague recollection of Tytanick mentioning that smOS can handle up to ten cards, but he needs to update scripts before it can handle more, though I may be way off base with my recollection.

I have a problem. I have 6 rigs but only 2 of them has trouble.
GPU1 hangs in opencl call says always. what should i do ?
Lower the overclock on that card. |

Thanks to Soothaa continuing after I gave up. I can now run 7 570s on my 170a boards!
Anyhow, I've been carefully watching my power usage due to having to make sure I'm balancing the load of my machines across circuits. I'm not doing anything with the bios tuning to try and lower my power but I do set all them to power stage 4. With that, a 7 gpu rig runs under 1000w at the wall or just under 9 amps.
I have $7k invested in this, I wasn't about to give up!  Yeah balancing is a bitch isn't it? |

For those waiting on the info for the MSI Z170A M5 Gaming board and 7x GPU support I finally have it working on both of my boards.
1) Make sure you're running the latest BIOS!
2) Enable 4G
3) Set PCIe support to "Auto" - DO NOT MANUALLY SET TO GEN1. THIS CAUSES MAJOR ISSUES
4) Enable onboard graphics startup as first! I believe this is changing "PEG" to "IGD" or something in the Advanced BIOS
5) Plug your monitor into the ONBOARD graphics
6) Use either simpleminer-RX-v1093-4.11.rc8-16.60-enableexe0ANDips0.imgc or simpleminer-RX-v1093-4.11.rc8-16.60-enablerc60.imgc (sorry, I don't remember which I used!)
My 14x GPUs have been stable all night long!
How did you manage to reduce power from the wall? I bring up 10 video cards but the power is nearly 1700watts. I have try with moded bios but no difference. On W10 i have managed for 6 v. cards to consume less than 800watts. SM is a great thing but without voltage control is not acceptable. I haven't done anything nor have I even checked the draw. I did use the Powerstage feature and all the cards are set on 0. hmmm.... if only we can build a "flashing rom utility thumbdrive" If I get time at work tomorrow I'll try and compile the tool in the same kind of environment and see if it'll work. I may also be taking down a couple of the rigs for migration today and I'll see if I can increase the /tmp space that way. so i was finally able to get the usb drive recognized but it doesn't boot, just a garbled colored screen, so i'm guessing I have some sort of hardware issue. Would boot into windows but crashes with a driver issue everytime you try to start any mining program or anything that loads the gpu. This is with 3 different gpu's run 1 at a time, both stock bios and modded.
This is normal with 4G enabled. Did you follow my instructions? Is your monitor plugged into the onboard GPU? |

Hi guys, anyone got this working in smos or any linux build? any linux experts can show how to install and make the file... i hate going back and forth to windows and gpuz to see what memory brand is being used to flash the correct custom roms. flashing roms using atiflash on linux is so much easier compared to windows thanks Tytanick - any chance in putting this tool in utility folder in next version of smOS? Thanks
That's not - oops. I misread. YES, amdmeminfo will show you the VRAM type. I read VRM manufacturer >.>
Crud. Doesn't look like it supports the 500 series. Guess I can probably figure out what to do from the source though. Use this one: https://github.com/sling00/amdmeminfo I have not been able to get it to build due to a lack of /tmp space to build it :/ |

Make sure to always save a stock copy backed up somewhere.

I second this. The more tools the better! on another note.... Is there a way to use the current atiflash tool in smOS to create a backup copy of GPU's current rom? ./atiflash -s 0 GPU_Slot_0.rom |
