RX-480 - 31+mh @ 125w at the wall - Modded ROM - HELPING OTHERS

[kilo17]

Looks like some people just think they are better than others, that shit bores me.  I thought I would create a thread and help people with ROM's that are like me, less intelligent than the "almighty" ones here on the forum.

This is a mod I made today.  It gets 125w at the wall.  Stable for a 6 hour run.

I have tons of different 470 and 480 cards and will try my best to help people.  

I have a few rules I will apply:

1 - I will put people I know and those that contribute to the community in a positive way first.
2 - Higher rank accounts will get precedence over noob accounts.
3 - I have a life and will help as I can.
4 - I do NOT use DUAL MINING and do not test it.  

Tips are appreciated but not required.  I ask you not to share the ROMs I provide.

Thanks

Proof is in the pudding:

i will apreciate if you can share more detail to me in Private message for trying your setting, and post the result. of course i will not share the room.
i have some vga, powercolor rx 470 4gb , saphire nitro rx 470 4gb and 8gb, and rx 480 refference.

just asking, your mod is running smoothly in all card ? because each card have diffirent assic stat's

If you have a large farm and would like a good software to manage it, please look at AwesomeMiner.  It is easy to use and manages up to 5000 rigs.  Also you can load any mining software you want with it.

I bought the software and use it but have zero investment other than trying to help patrike that puts a lot of work into it.

Please communicate as much as possible here so others can learn.  I will swap ROMS etc by PM.


Most of my ROMs are meant for mass use at my farm and run stable.  I would recommend letting me get a couple together like the Reference ROMs and let you try it out and see what you think.  Give me a day to put that one together. 

The ROMs I do I typically keep to myself but I am angry about the way people are treated on this forum by others.

True, they already have standard global VDDC. So if you know how to open a HexEditor and know your way ove rto overclock forum. Then yes, this is easy.

It's those that don't have global vddc, those are the interesting roms

This is indeed childs play

Also have i been able to add support for multiple memory types: as in 1 rom for both Hynix and Elpida for example + being able to boot headless into windows


I wish you good luck and it's nice what you're doing for the community!

Greetings!

Let me clarify, I will help people learn to do their own ROMs.  I am not looking to do 100 different ROMs, I don't have that kind of time.

As Eliovp has pointed out they aren't the easiest thing to do and take time to do correctly.  If someone wants to help themselves I will help them.

Hi,

Thx for your thread,

On my rigs i have different RX 480 REX cards, for the moment i'm at 174-175Mh/s for 930 at wall. Can you help me to have better Mhs/Watt ?

Thx in advance

[brizio71]

Hello,

can you help me with XFR RX470 4GB Black Edition and XFR RX480 8GB Black Edition ?

thanks

Fabrizio

[ps_jb]

I certainly will, Nitro are easy

Will you make a step-by-step manual or how it works?

[64dimensions]

Would it make any sense to approach this from a different direction and just say XYZ brand 470s and 480s are the "easiest" ROMS to work on?

[Tmdz]

I think sapphire Nitros are the most popular, I have 2 470's coming today.

For the most part running a modded rom is pretty simple stuff the average technician can do.  All we do is configure the options and flash the rom to the gpu, then start mining.  Now where things get tricky is with that elpida 470 ram on the nitros where PBE will corrupt the rom, so you have to edit it in a hex editor and create check sums.

Thank you for your willingness to assist the community!

If you have time to educate me on how to modify my gigabyte 480 bios, that would be great!

Thank you

[niksdt101]

is the msi 480x card better than sapphire 480 nitro card ??

I am willing to learn how to my rigs using Hexeditor method. So far I had
3 full rigs of RX480 8GB ref
1 rigs of HIS IceQ RX480 8GB. Link: http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-933.shtml They had same heatsink design as XFX RX480 GTR. But not sure about pcb side.
2 rigs of XFX RX480 8Gb GTR.

All these cards using Samsung memory chip. So I guess they all had same timing right?
So far I manage to using Hex editor, locate the memory timing. I think i can replace the timing. But I dont expert enough to modify the VDDC for these. Willing to learn how to do it.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the community.

Ati radeon rx 480, they are hashing at 24.8 Mh/s  but dropping down to 14 MH/s for couple seconds and then back to 24.8 MH/s, will the custom ROM help and even make them better ?
