Modified GPU BIOS for Mining

[notbatman]

I have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8gb Hynix and I'm barely getting 700 h/s xmr. What can I change?

Your VRAM is probably running at 1750.

[laik2]

Its getting hot very fast, that helps enough.
@Branko I guess I was lucky to have polarises with only those 2 lines I wrote in my previous post.

r0, r2 and r4 you can only see printed on chips when you remove cooler...denotes 6, 7 and 8GHz speed

I found out when I was looking for reason hynix is slower than micron on gigabyte rx560 cards...because

gigabyte put r0 instead r2 so memory is already factory overclocked

Revisions have nothing to do with that, its basically an improvement of same dram, not much different than the first rev. Hynix in 570/580 8G is the same dram as in 560 just with half of chips.

90w gpu-z mining xmr is so f..king huge ))

Those are not revisions, but speed ratings

I have MSI RX 580 8G with hynix MJR memory.
Best stripe that gives me about 29M eth speed is:
777000000000000022AA1C00B56A6D46C0551017BE8E060C006AE6000C081420EA8900AB0300000 01B162C31C0313F17

Any tips to improve this stripe? Or other stripe for hynix MJR 8Gb?

Are you sure? Looks like a total mess when I enter that strap into editor

Yes I know it. But I think that it can better.

Hi guys! I hope you can help me.

I recently obtained my first AMD card which is an Aorus RX 580 8GB Hynix(shown in gpuz).
It is currently installed in a rig with 2x1070 and 6x1060 as the 9th card.

OS:Win10 pro
Driver:amd blockchain driver(aug 23)
Bios: stock(1365core,2000mem)
Miner: claymore v10.0
EthDcrMiner64.exe  -mode 1 -platform 1 -epool eth-sg.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal 0xAAAAAAA -epsw x

at stock bios and stock clocks and voltages:
ethash: 22Mh/s @ 120W with temps rapidly reaching 80C+ even with fans at 100%(3400rpm)

I already did the most basic bios mod of copying 1750 -> 2000 timing straps
Bios Editor: Polaris Bios Editor v1.6.2(https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor)
ethash: 25Mh/s @ 120W with temps rapidly reaching 80C+ even with fans at 100%(3400rpm)

performance: poor. temps: too high. power: too much.
Should I just give this card away?

can someone share good roms for this card?
What hash rates are you getting at what power consumption and temps?
Are you guys using the blockchain driver? Should I shift back to regular drivers?
Are you able to unlock core voltage controls in MSI afterburner? Its currently grayed out.

^^^ The Gigabyte Aorus RX580-8GB has Samsung memory according to the stock BIOS... The 4GB version has the slower SK-Hynix memory.

[henyojess]

@notbatman
am quite sure its hynix based on latest gpuz and polaris bios editor

do you happen to have the stock bios you are referring to?

@notbatman
thats aorus xtr.

I have the regular one

what command did you use to view the information you posted above?

VendorID 0x1002
DeviceID 0x67DF
VRAM: H5GC8H24MJ (HYNIX_2)

Hope you can help me.

[henyojess]

This Aorus rx580 8gb card is hopeless.

I UNINSTALLED MSI afterburner beta 19.
I then boot in safe mode and run DDU to remove AMD drivers and prepare for card installation.
To make sure it's not a power issue, I removed 2x1060 cards from the rig.
I installed Gigabyte Aorus rx580 8GB(hynix H5GC8H24MJ) and booted into win10.
I installed the blockchain driver(driver only, other options unchecked).
Next I installed the atikmdag patcher.
Next I rebooted and then installed MSI afterburner beta 19.

I checked MSI afterburner beta 19 and found that I can't modify core voltages.
I tried running claymore10 with: -mode 1 -platform 1 -benchmark 145 -tt -80 -tstop -79 -cclock 1100 -cvddc 950
result: 24Mh/s 100W(gpuz power draw) and temps rapidly climbing to 79C(terminating claymore10) even with fans at 80% and 950mV was IGNORED

I tried running claymore10 with: -mode 1 -platform 1 -benchmark 145 -tt -80 -tstop -79 -cclock 1000 -cvddc 950
result: 24Mh/s 90W(gpuz power draw) and temps rapidly climbing to 79C(terminating claymore10) even with fans at 80% and 950mV was also IGNORED

I tried running claymore10 with: -mode 1 -platform 1 -benchmark 145 -tt -80 -tstop -79 -cclock 900 -cvddc 950
result: 22Mh/s 85W(gpuz power draw) and temps rapidly climbing 79C(terminating claymore10) even with fans at 80% and 950mV was also IGNORED

I installed sapphire trixx to try to undervolt.

undervolt by: -156mV
I tried running claymore10 with: -mode 1 -platform 1 -benchmark 145 -tt -80 -tstop -79 -cclock 900
result: 22Mh/s 80W(gpuz power draw) and temps stable at 69C with fans at 80% and vcore:0.89mV

running higher core clock regardless of undervolt results in temps climbing to 79C(terminating claymore10)
anything at or above 85W (gpuz power draw) results in temps climbing to 79C(terminating claymore10)

this is all done with stock bios. help???!!!

^^^ Post your BIOS and I'll mod it, you've got a card that doesn't exist as far as I can tell...

Anyone got a good BIOS mod for a Sapphire RX 470 8GB? Memory is micron.

I'm able to edit the timing straps using the 1.4.1 bios editor but simply copying the 1500 straps only gives me a max stable hash rate of 25. MH (dual mining ETH).
Any help on this is highly be appreciated.

I'll check it out in a few hours and see what can be done, I should be able to get you to 29.5 ETH/810 XMR. 900 xmr might be possible but without the card in hand to test I'm not going to force the memory to 2250.

Did you manage to get Micron to 2250 stable? My highest is 2230 on RX560, any higher than that starts to get errors in hwinfo
