hey, am really not pulling your leg. I have nothing but respect for you and your work.
Are you saying gpu-z is wrong when reporting that my card has hynix mem instead of the samsung?
why do you find it hard to believe the card exists?

I also noticed this from your earlier posting:
GV-RX580XTRAORUS-8GD/F2/0540 (C) 1988-2010, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
My card has this from your latest posting:
GV-RX580AORUS-8GD/F4/0529 (C) 1988-2010, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Notice, no XTR? could mean they used hynix mems.

glad to finally find someone with the same card! I will try to lower voltages just like your bios.
can you please share your original bios and your modified bios just in case I screw up?
Whats your ambient temp? What card temps are you getting at 117W?
To be clear, voltages are set at card bios? you are not undervolting via trixx? or undervolt via MSI AB?
what settings did you set in MSI AB? just fans? or core and mem clock?
what settings did you set in claymore?
Are you on win10pro?
Are you using the latest blockchain drivers?
What version of MSI AB are you using?

thanks.





Hi, I'm sorry for the late reply. In the zar file you will find the original and the two modded roms. The rom that I'm currently using is the one ended with 900mV. I'm using Win10 pro(not activated), claymore 10.0, AMD blockchain driver Aug 23rd, and MSI AB beta 16. Both core and mem voltages of my card are set in the bat file. I'm using MSI AB only to set the fan speed because I found Claymore somehow ignore all of the fan setting I put it in the bat file. One trick for the fan setting with AB is to unsyn all card setting and set each of them to the default mem-core speed then apply the fan-speed one by one. My card runs about 59-61C- 29.2 Mh/s at 1150-2050 settings and it draws 117W dual-mining and 86W ether only. Your card may run hotter because i'm from Illinois and it is pretty cool this time of the year.
