Hello,

I'm mining with a AMD R9 290 SAPPHIRE.
I'm wondering if someone can help me to modify the bios for lower consumption please?

many thanks.

I found that using MSI Afterburner and playing with the core voltage settings (mine is now at -100), the intensity settings in the miner software, and the powlim settings, that I could reduce power consumption significantly without the loss of much Hashing capability. I measured the power draw with a plug in monitor at the wall.

I'm getting averages 1150/hs with one r9 290 and two r9 Fury's using 600w of power using the stock BIOS.

 

Thanks man, what are your settings in claymore for the r9 290 please?

MSI Afterburner core voltage at -100 (as far down as it will go). Saved with "apply overclock settings at startup'  Claymore:  -i6, powlim -45
