Modified GPU BIOS for Mining

[notbatman]

**** If you click "download" on any ROM(s) I post from pastebin.com then "save as" a .uue file then extract the compressed .7z archive with WinRAR, WinZip, etc.. and the bios_file.rom will be inside the .7z

Ok tried that.

In real life here is what happens.

Click on "download" and it automatically downloads as a txt file. No option to "save as".

I tried opening the txt file in notepad and then saving as .uue

But after that 7z will not extract it as it does not recognize it as a archive file.

What am I doing wrong? Better yet how about hosting ROM's on Google Drive or something.

Thanks

save it as a .uue file then open it and decode the .7z

Don't just use any ROM BTW, I'll mod your cards stock BIOS. My Windows computer is just a bit busy right now...

Thanks. BTW I figured out how to extract a rom from pastebin.  I had to use Winrar First and THEN use 7z.
Looking forward to testing these new Asus RX570's
This is my card - https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/191598/asus-rx570-4096-170327

[OverEasy]

Played around with the new PBE 1-click.
These GPU's do NOT like that!

Ran for under 10 mins and crashed.
Tried it a few times even DDU, new drivers, patch them.

So that was a no go lol...
Flashed back to stock and running along at about 21 MH/S on Ethminer

[notbatman]

I'll mod the BIOS and post it soon.

[notbatman]

I just got a bunch of these Asus Radeon RX570's with 4 GB RAM and ELPIDA memory
Outta the box on Ethminer they run about 21.5 MH/S

I was wondering if you have any mods for this card?

I doubt these can do the magic 30 MH/S but I would love to see a stable 26 or more.

Thanks!

notbatman can you help me with my Sapphire RX 570 Elpida ?  did you find for stability ? thank you

I've found stability it's just that some cards are made with crappy parts and produce hardware errors when the VRM is pushed above stock speed. Try the bios I posted it should work ok unless you got a crappy card.

It may be a while before I post a version with slower clocks, I only have the tools set up in widows and it a serious pain windows causes with the drivers when I put all the cards back after modding cards from other rigs. I'll need to test out mods on my crappy gamingx 570 (get the armor folks) before I post anything...

One card modded. One card stock. Rig just crashed after about 30 mins. I am adding an external fan now in case it was a heat issue.


Not a heat issue. Just very unstable. I modded the ROM slightly and lowered from 2000 to 1900 but still unstable.
Am flashing back to stock now. I will play with settings later. Thanks for your work. I think its close.

2/10 cards ok ... 8/10 not stable

[notbatman]

^^^ Check back in a few days, I'll get around to testing mods on my card eventually. Also 8/10 thats pretty crappy, note to avoid sapphire 570s.

you do mod bios for free?

i have 4 rx 480 cant mod them very unstable

My Gigabyte RX580 has elpida, it should be stable in 2000-2030 range, depending on card...maybe even more,
didn't have too much time to play with it, with all this coin trade craze going on
30.4MH/s

30.4MH/s

I have spent all day on this and have determined that this ROM is too unstable for these cards. Yes it will hit 29.5 MH/S but only for a few minutes before rig crashes.
I also just completed a Linux test so I could completely eliminate Windows and drivers. Claymore crashed on Linux in under 20 seconds.
So thats that.
I am now making a new rom with different straps. Less aggressive. After I am stable I will use some of notbatmans undervolting to tweak it more. Right this minute I am stable at 24.5 Ethminer (a touch slower then Claymore but way easier on the cards).
Taking a break from this lol....

EDIT** Ok so I opened 2 copies of PBE 1.64 and loaded my original ROM which I took off the stock cards with GPU-Z and next to it I loaded your ROM.
Immediately I see a huge difference. The original rom has 1 set of straps. Your version has 2 sets of straps 1: and 2:
No idea if that really makes a difference but i think it might. Still playing around.

Its not my ROM but notbatmans, I'm not as nice as him so I'm usually selling mine

I think those experiences you've encountered mate has to linked with your GPU BIOS modification attempts, and for me you should ask help from more knowledgeable person and it can be your friends who is also doing mining better than you. We cannot stand alone, and it should be needed to seek assistance from those experienced one. My recommendations is simple, never attempt any modifications and always use the optimal setting of the GPU because if you alter that one serious problems will occur eventually.

Hello all,

I will get next week my 6 new GPUs from Type

sapphire rx 570 nitro+ 4gb

Any tips or existing bios mods for this card?
How much MHs is possible for ETH mining with this card?

Best Regards
Willi

We can point you into the right direction when we will know the memory type

Hello,

i have installed the first card on a fresh win10 installation.




i have Elpida memory in my card from type sapphire rx 570 nitro+ OC 4gb

can you advice me to the right driver / bios / bios settings and system setting?

Best regards
Willi

[baga105]

Copy the straps Vili try to lower the voltage and bump the clocks

If u need help Pm me and I will give it a go.

which strap must i copy to the higher one?
and which polaris bios editor i must use?
