[ADVICE NEEDED] = Power consumption using SMOS

[yhingsy]

Hello, I am after some advice on how to reduce power consumption on my small SMOS rig, mining Eth using Claymore-Eth-11.7. I am running:

1xRX570 Core = 1100 Mhz, Memory = 2200Mhz ~ 27.3Mh
1xRX560 Core = 1100 Mhz, Memory = 1600Mhz ~ 10.9Mh
1xRX560 Core = 1100 Mhz, Memory = 1900Mhz ~ 12.5Mh

And I use 290W without making any other changes.

So, in SMOS I reduced the powerstage to '5', and the Core undervolting is set to 820, and I am using.... 285W.

I haven't changed the BIOS or anything yet.

Is is possible to reduce the power consumption somehow?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

No, not for SMOS. for best wattage you must use Windows and overdrive'n'Tool.


Follow this guide,
https://mining.help/2017/12/10/windows-10-mining-guide-for-amd-gpus-12-gpu-supported/

For the Over-drive. The whole reason why I switched off from SMOS, My RX580's were using 40 watts more per card because of terrible Linux OC tool controls. Same goes for HiveOS.

That's for that link - looks very promising.

Hi,
i used to lost almost one week to make SMOS undervolt.
i can tell: You can undervolt with SMOS.
Which tool you need:
1/ Ohgodatool
2/ rocm-smi

OK, this is steps: (this is 470s)
1/ Check your card core-clock states, mem-clock states, voltage states:

Code:

sudo ./ohgodatool -i 0 --show-core
DPM state 0:
        VDDC: 800 (voltage table entry 0)
        VDDC offset: 0
        Core clock: 300
DPM state 1:
        VDDC: 65282 (voltage table entry 1)
        VDDC offset: -26
        Core clock: 466
DPM state 2:
        VDDC: 65283 (voltage table entry 2)
        VDDC offset: -26
        Core clock: 751
DPM state 3:
        VDDC: 65284 (voltage table entry 3)
        VDDC offset: -26
        Core clock: 1019
DPM state 4:
        VDDC: 850 (voltage table entry 8)
        VDDC offset: -26
        Core clock: 1060
DPM state 5:
        VDDC: 65286 (voltage table entry 5)
        VDDC offset: -26
        Core clock: 1126
DPM state 6:
        VDDC: 65287 (voltage table entry 6)
        VDDC offset: -26
        Core clock: 1169
DPM state 7:
        VDDC: 850 (voltage table entry 7)
        VDDC offset: 0
        Core clock: 1060

Code:

sudo ./ohgodatool -i 0 --show-mem
Memory state 0:
        VDDC: 800
        VDDCI: 850
        VDDC GFX offset: 0
        MVDD: 1000
        Memory clock: 300
Memory state 1:
        VDDC: 65282
        VDDCI: 900
        VDDC GFX offset: 0
        MVDD: 1000
        Memory clock: 2000

Code:

sudo ./ohgodatool -i 0 --show-voltage
Voltage state 0:
        VDD = 800
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 1:
        VDD = 65282
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 2:
        VDD = 65283
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 3:
        VDD = 65284
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 4:
        VDD = 65285
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 5:
        VDD = 65286
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 6:
        VDD = 65287
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 7:
        VDD = 850
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 8:
        VDD = 850
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 9:
        VDD = 900
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 10:
        VDD = 950
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 11:
        VDD = 1000
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 12:
        VDD = 1050
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 13:
        VDD = 1100
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0
Voltage state 14:
        VDD = 1150
        CACLow = 0
        CACMid = 0
        CACHigh = 0

and this is the code i was used to undervolt:

Code:

/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi --setsclk 0 1 4
sudo /home/miner/ohgodatool -i 0 --mem-state 0 --mem-clock 2000 --core-state 4 --core-clock 1060 --core-vddc-idx 8 --volt-state 8
sudo /home/miner/ohgodatool -i 1 --mem-state 0 --mem-clock 2000 --core-state 4 --core-clock 1060 --core-vddc-idx 8 --volt-state 8
sudo /home/miner/ohgodatool -i 2 --mem-state 0 --mem-clock 2000 --core-state 4 --core-clock 1060 --core-vddc-idx 8 --volt-state 8
sudo /home/miner/ohgodatool -i 3 --mem-state 0 --mem-clock 2000 --core-state 4 --core-clock 1060 --core-vddc-idx 8 --volt-state 8
sudo /home/miner/ohgodatool -i 4 --mem-state 0 --mem-clock 2000 --core-state 4 --core-clock 1060 --core-vddc-idx 8 --volt-state 8
sudo /home/miner/ohgodatool -i 5 --mem-state 0 --mem-clock 2000 --core-state 4 --core-clock 1060 --core-vddc-idx 8 --volt-state 8
sudo /home/miner/ohgodatool -i 6 --mem-state 0 --mem-clock 2000 --core-state 4 --core-clock 1060 --core-vddc-idx 8 --volt-state 8

the command :
/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi --setsclk 0 1 4 (it depends on your card, you need check your core-clock states and try to get best number. With me core-clock at state 4 is 1074, 1074 ~= 1060 so i choose it, if i choose higher states, power will increase from 8xW to 12xW) set a cap on your card and dont let it go to higher states.



This is the result:

Code:

/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi

With 580s cards, you can save almost 70W ( 15xW without this tune , after tune it run stable with 8xW)
I forgot, if you mine eth only power is 6xW for 470s cards
