My 6x Vega 56 rig on Onda D1800 finally works like a charm.
Averaging 1940 h/s per GPU so just over 11600 in total, for 1350W at the wall.

For the records, that's better than my two 7x RX570 rigs combined (11200 h/s for 1650W), without any single bios, SOC or soft power play mods.

Those bloody Vegas really are good.

I only wish CastXMR would allow you to set failovers...

Those numbers are pretty bad tbh.. You might want to modify/tweak your cards a bit more. This guy on youtube is getting 15.5kh/s using  only 1400W.

Really?  You are consistently doing better?  What's your at-the-wall power draw?  Or, you have no idea you are just pointing to a YouTube video.

OMG, I just watched the first part of this video.  Each Vega 64 is getting around 1921, 1928, 1931 in other words, BELOW 1940 per card.

Well considering how he's consuming around the same wattage with 2 extra cards.. Yes I would consider that pretty bad. He's getting 11 hashes per watt while OP
is getting 8.6 hashes per watt. That's a massive difference... Maybe you should invest some time into learning how to flash the cards/mod them. Well worth it in my opinion.
He even mentions he is running the memory at 1050Mhz. He has shown videos of his cards running at 2020+ before... Why are you so upset anyways lol?? Just pointing
it out so he could see potential gains in performance/efficiency.

P.S I own a few cards (4 vega 64s hashing 8.04Kh/s @ 715W) that I registry moded and I can asure you it's a night and day difference. The cards draw much less power and remain cool far better.
No, I know you're right. I could tweak my setup quite a bit I'm sure. I'll be honest, I wanted to get mining asap with this rig, because my time is very limited. If I had started playing around with flashing and modding, I reckon the rig would still be offline today because I would have hit trouble on the way without the time to fix it.

I know my setup isn't as efficient as it should be right now, but at least I've been mining full speed for over 48 hours with that new rig.
