So, this has been bothering me a little bit.

Does memory clock affect mining? and how?

I currently have R9 280X with 1500 mhz memory clock (haven't touched it myself), should I do anything with it? downclock maybe, unless that'd be bad for mining? (I am mining equihash algo at nicehash btw)

Would downclocking let temps down a little or no? Anyone actually does it? I did hear some people do it, not sure though.

Thanks.

And why don't you try it? Or just waiting, that someone will do that for you?

There are two clocks you should worry about. Core clock and memory clock. What you should do is increase memory clock as much as you can (before it becomes unstable) and decrease memory clock again as much as you can (until you notice performance drop). This will help with temperatures and will gain you extra performance.

the clock affect the hashrate.....................but if you overclock too much the system crashes

. why should you downclock? it's alredy low the hashrate Wink perhaps you should downvolt it to save energy.

just let go the fans at the maximum speed while you're mining............and the temperature will go at normal levels

Because I do not want to mess up my card, I thought this was a common thing people do so I thought everyone would know what to do.
Screw this toxic world.

You mean increase core clock and decrease memory until its stable? Alright I will try that, thank you Smiley

Crypto is toxic environment as hell, so better get out if you don't like it.
