[XMR] RX 480 Overclock settings / Hashrates. Collaboration of information

[rinus]

I've had poor results with overclocking the 4 GB Sapphire Nitro+ 480s. I believe they have slower RAM than the 8 GB version though. Is it stock 2000 Mhz on the 8 GB version ?
I don't think you will be able to overclock to 2100 - maybe try stock setting and see if it is more stable.

I would try a slower GPU clock setting and lower GPU and RAM voltage - I think I had mine running at:

-cclock 1150 -mclock 1850 -mvddc 950 -cvddc 950

Try yours at -mclock 2000 and work from there.

Yes stock BIOS and stock setting run stable.
Stock setting :
CClock 1340 mclock 2000  cvddc 1150 an mvddc 1000

That runs stable. As soon as I higher Mem to 2100 it crashes over a couple of hours mining. If I can not overclock, I really should be able to reduce the power. Otherwise this was a bad investment. I have 4 cards now but I already ordered 12 more. But I ordered ASRock h81 pro btc motherboard as well, maybe that will be better?

-mvddc 990
-cvddc 990
-powlim 0
-tt 62

gives me stability without pushing any temps too high or hindering performance of other third party apps (browsing, whatever).

max I can get mclock up to is 2100 w/ -mvddc @ 1020

edit: produces an average of 300 Sol/s (Claymore's latest release)

When I just run with stock BIOS and I undervolt the ccvd with just 50 MV my windows crashed because of AMD driver...

I really can't do anything but stock BIOS and settings or windos crashed. I read somewhere that windows 7 Is more stable for rx480... Gona try that

Yeah, I've had a lot of trouble getting memclock past 2000 without paying for it in some way or another. I find it's best just to rely on the best stable settings you can achieve and put it to use in the current(constantly changing) most effective method.

I only run the one 480, along with my old card - a GTX960, which achieves 180 Sol/s, so, 180+300 = not too bad to have running at night/most of the day. I make sure the RX480 doesn't surpass the low 60's (centigrade) - so I don't have to live with the horrible ambience of GPU and Case fans to the point where the dB level in the house WITHOUT a GPU under load becomes 'too quiet'.

I love AMD's whole 'drift-spec' mentality when it comes to their cards, if you know what I mean. But I'm pretty much over the constant over-correction requirements. Even when it boils down to simple gameplay, there are issues I wish I never even had to know existed let alone deal with. The small things I appreciated about nVidia cards have become very clear to me now

Still, 300 Sol/s @ 60c for whatever price the 4GB 480s are going for now (pretty damn cheap), I can't complain.

You've switched your physical bios switch over and extracted/backed up/duplicated that BIOS, then rebooted/toggled switch and re-flashed using the alternate BIOS, right? Just checking. Cause I had fcked up the default position (whichever image that's meant to be, the non-powersaving one I guess) - and only really just managed to flash it back to normal.

But my initial BIOS flashing failures were more of a wont display/boot situation, but could've easily just tampered with the wrong thing and bottlenecked myself somewhere.

Yep switched it over so that's OK. The only thing I did was backing up 1 original BIOS from a card, modified it and put it in all 3 other cards... They cant harm no? They are alle the same and have all Samsung memory

I don't think you will be able to overclock to 2100 - maybe try stock setting and see if it is more stable.

Try yours at -mclock 2000 and work from there.

i have 1750 timings in custum bios , cclock is 1200 and cvddc 990 , mclock 2150 and mvddc is 1000 , normally this would crash my windows but i wrote a script that the desktop reboots every
30 minutes, like this i can mine at a good speed, and less power consumtion. and to the chance of crashing the system is much lower ... ok 48 restarts in a day is not so nice , but i think it is worth it

Anyone have much luck with the XFX RX 480 8GB XFX Tuned ?  I got 6 of those on 1000w power supply running stable with stock out of the box OC by XFX using about 850 watt. and getting about 600-630 h/s per card under Windows 10 with claymore or EthOS 1.2 with sg-miner.  I tried doing some overclocking and undervolting in Windows with Wattman but was getting instability.  Trying to find the magic formula to get me over 700 h/s per card without exceeding my power supply. 

Appreciate everyone's input on this thread it was exactly what I'm looking for. Seems like lot of people having success are using RX 480 reference cards.  Is there any difference? Could I use the same custom Bios that is available for Reference cards out there? Will be tinkering with some of the suggestions above tonight.  Thanks

Not very good for 2200Mhz - see here (NSFW): https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/xmrwolf-03152017.png -- linux, sgminer-gm

Could you tell me what timings u use? And how much memory and clock? Undervolting?

My timings are custom - not copied. Clocks, card types, and wattage from the wall are in the notepad. Yes, I undervolt.

Where can I find the notepad if I may ask
