I got my new R606, plugged it into my new ubuntu install on my laptop, and WHAM, running at 781GB with just the defaults.
Next question: I believe after reading the posts that the current version of cgminer autotunes. Does that mean I just need to increase the vCore using the buttons on the R606 to increase the rate? Or do I need to use the settings for cgminer to set the frequency? Or both?
Both. First at Power Level 4 set your frequency target to, say 725Mhz, and see what it autotunes to. Then bump it up to Voltage Level 5 and start over, repeat until you find the sweet spot you want to run at. You need to make sure you have a power supply that can support that though. The 8Amp block can't supply power to the level of what the unit can do, most likely. I use an ATX P/S to power my units.
Glad you got everything up and running.
Is there a reason that I should just start at the highest power and frequency and then just back up from there? I'm using a Bitmain power supply from my old L3 so that should have plenty of power.
