AMD Rebrand - RX570 / RX580 - Official Thread

[WhyMe]

Do all rx580 come with a 6 pin power connector, or do some require 6+2 power to run correctly?

Actually, some need both 6 and 8 pin connectors (or, as you call them, 6+2)

I have the same cards and they happily mine with only the 8-pin connector plugged.

Yes they do...I was just answering the question

But they don’t *need* both 8 and 6 pin to run.

I guess a better statement would be “yes, most cards has an 8-pin connector but some comes with 8+6-pin. However, they don’t need both connectors to mine IF you undervolt.”

There! 😊

One of my 570 Nitro+ NEEDS 8+6, without 6 it's not stable.
With no big OC or big voltage.

What clocks do you run them at? Also what voltage?

It's just interesting that a higher, more powerful GPU that has a 225w max tdp don't need the 6-pin to run while it's younger brother that's supposed to run slower and cooler needs it.

It makes zero sense.

Hello there guys,
May I get a bios for XFX RX580 GTS XXX 8GB Micron and Samsung memory? I just finished my rig and as stock I'm getting ~21 mh/s per graphic and around 75c at all graphic cards,  I've copied 1750 strap to 2000 and now I'm getting ~24 but still I think this is way too low... shouldn't be ~30?

Start with using 'Polaris Bios Editor' https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor (just run the Windows *.exe) and use the 'One Click Timing Patch' this should give you a boost to your hashrate.

There are pre-configure BIOS here https://anorak.tech/t/xfx-rx-580-xxx-edition/5026

This might work too.. https://anorak.tech/t/xfx-rx-580-8gb-gtr-s-black-edition-oc-request-for-mod/5707/38

EDIT: Also try the AMD blockchain drivers, this is reported to give better Ether hashrates.

@greatauror28 - What BIOS are you using or BIOS tweaks?  What voltage and clocks?

[greatauror28]

@greatauror28 - What BIOS are you using or BIOS tweaks?  What voltage and clocks?

Modded bios, custom timing strap
1150/2025/875
30.3Mh eth 750 dcr @ 145w at the wall

Can you share your BIOS?

Also stick with nvidia

I wouldn't go these day for nvidia. The price hashrate ratio is way better with Radeon once again.

My bios might not work directly with yours. Are you using Sapphire Nitro+ Rx580 4gb with elpida memory as well?

If yes, send me a PM we'll work something out.

Yes.  Pm sent.

msi rx580, 8g, hynix. I could get about 27.5 mh/s without memory errors. How can I get ~30mh/s? Help, please!

Set your clock to 2250.

@greatauror28 - We appreciate your enthusiastic replies on clock speeds and voltage but can you please post your BIOS too.  That makes all the difference.  Thanks in advance.

Sorry but I did all the work myself without heeding any help from someone.

There's tons of information all over the internet and you need very basic skills to get the information what you need if you know where to look and how to look.

A great man once said "if you're good at something, never do it for free".

I guess that's clear enough.

Unreal.  Tons of people here share stuff to help each other out.  Nobody knows everything. The whole point of the board is to come together and be better than we would be individually.  If that isn’t your philosophy then why are you here? 

Your own statements in the same post are mutually exclusive too.  You say you did it all yourself. You also say the info is all over the internet.  Did you write your own BIOS editor?  Did you write your own overclocking and hardware monitoring tools?  Did you invent how to modify timings or create the base BIOS you started with?

Do as you please but don’t expect people to be impressed with you here when you are boasting of your own “success”with nothing to provide to the greater community.  If the developers of all the cryptocoin were that way none of us would have any of it.  As a developer myself I have a great deal of respect for the elite ones working in this space.  The very best are also a great deal more humble than you seem to be.  Maybe you’ll reconsider but I certainly won’t beg you or bother anymore.

Guys, I am struggling for two days now, maybe someone could help.

I have 6 x Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ 8 GB and I am not able to use 6 of them. My bios is modded properly and they work fine if I use up to 4 cards in a rig. But once I get more than 4 cards - I have cards visibility problem.

I have tried numerous drivers options, blockchain drivers work the best, but they only get 4 cards max to work (for some reason, they work if the patch is no applied).

I have also tried configuring motherboard bios, disabled secure boot and switched PCI-E to Gen2.

Is there any possibility that my motherboard (Asus H170) is not able to take on more than 4 cards? One of the power connectors is not plugged in (Molex/M2).

Has someone else experienced this? Does this look like a purely driver issue?

Do you use win10 version 1709?

Wow. Just wow.

In my short time as a member here, i’ve helped alot of member already more than I can remember. But I recall them doing something on their part and not asking to be spoonfed. You said you’re a developer? Then why this simple bios mod is giving you lot of difficulty? Even a non-IT guy can do it, why can’t you?

Information is all over the internet man, you just  have to be witty to find them. Yes, i did all the research and bios modding myself with  the help of the info I gathered. But no one, NOT A SINGLE SOUL gave me their bios for free or for a fee. No one would bother.

Do you realize why there’s a dev fee when you use Claymore’s miner? Of course he’s not doing it for free! Why would he? This isn’t charity. There’s no free lunch. If you wanna be spared from research and good ‘ol trial-and-error? Cough up some eth or fiat and be willing to pay. That’s the easiet way to get a superb bios.

It’s amazing how entitled people are when they join this board, thinking everyone will willingly give them what their need.

I see what you mean...I tried to be nice and asked any tip for a first bios for rx560s, and let people free download it.
Guess what, 800 downloads later, not a 0.00001ETH on my wallet
Not only that, some people took straps, put rig into fridge, ran 16.x MH/s and scammed some people for 0.3ETH

That's why I don't blame you or others to be secretive of their discoveries aka bios mods as we spent precious time and effort doing it up to the wee hours of the morning. it's not remotely fair to just give it away.

I do try to help in my own little way and extend a hand, but people mostly want the whole arm.

I would try checking all your connections and make sure your power supply is large enough for all those cards.

Also I've seen that after mods the drivers may need to be reinstalled.
