Is there any progress with your 390 mod? What is the power consumption after the memory voltage mod?

Still working on that, well, it's ready, but seemed to be having some issues after a while. System froze after 14hrs.

Doing a retest as we speak.


I updated the op with new roms for nano

This time i added -100mV, -106mV, -112mV, -118mV and -125mV memory clock.

Core clock is still at -100mV (if you have issues with this (some cards seem to be behaving a little stubborn Smiley (Mostly When a Monitor is Attached!).
If so, just pump up the voltage with +6mV in afterburner or Trixx or any other tool you use.

Link for this package in OP.


Greetings.

First, thanks for all your great work, and your willingness to share it! Second, have you done anything with disabling ROPs and, perhaps, some of the CUs (I know they are not all needed for the ETH algo)? Disabling ROPs would presume a headless miner, but if you get past a couple rigs, that's probably what you're running (like me, for instance Smiley. There may be some nice power savings there!

Hey,

You're welcome Smiley


I haven't really spent any time on that though. Basically because all my rigs are headless and have never given me problems with that.

I can reboot, shut down, restart and they'll run just fine.

Regarding the power savings that i could gain with that, maybe, i could check it out and do some tests.

i'll report back Smiley

First off I would like to say Thank you for releasing this modified bios for those of us comfortable enough to flash our cards, but not 100% sure on how to successfully mod a bios rom. I'm looking to purchase some Nanos and wondering if you prefer a specific manufacturer over another? I know you said since they are reference designs they are all the same for the most part, but just wondering if you've found a certain brand is easier to work with than others?

Say maybe ASUS and Gigabyte > XFX and Sapphire?
