I'm a newbie. Not done any BIOS modding myself yet, but I think that by modifying the BIOS you can change memory timings. You can't do that through MSI Afterburner for example.
An advantage of BIOS modding is also that the modification is on the card itself. You don't have to re-apply them on each boot or if you use your card on another rig.
There's disadvantages as well. BIOS modding must be done very carefully as you may brick your card. And you probably can forget about warranty if you tamper with the BIOS.
Anyway, it all comes down to how much performance you want to get out of your cards and how much hassle you want to go through.
I'm definitely going to try BIOS modding my cards (Sapphire RX580's), but first I'll see how far I can get with Afterburner or similar.

That some thing I worry about brick my card. lol
This question is in my mind for a while.
Now I have 2 RigS of AMD+Nvidia, I use MSIAfterBurner and Radeon Settings for tuning my card.
99% of my cards got very close hashrate as the card that already mod bios (Not sure about power consumption rate).
I know that if you have many many rigs flash gpu bios is very useful, but in my case I only have 2 rigs and I am fine to resetting again when system error or new card installed.
So does flash GPU bios has another benefit that I miss? Should I learn do that?

Like you said it comes down to power consumption rate. If you have no electricity costs and heat etc isnt important than it doesnt make a huge difference.
But if your mining at home and you want the fans to be low speed and GPU temperature low better to mod the bios and undervolt
That properly true. May be it's time to learn new thing. Thanks

Re: Starting Claymore with 4 AMD plus 1 Nvidia and then windows freezes
hi mate, would you mine sharing your settings with your amd gpu I'm also starting with some rx570 and I really appreciate if you can guide me getting
the maximum hash rate from my rigs, kindly PM me if you have some time and congrats for resolving your issue with some idea coming from co-member
inside here. good luck

With rx570 you could flash your card for best result. Unfortunately I don't have it yet, so i can't guide you about this. Sorry
Re: Starting Claymore with 4 AMD plus 1 Nvidia and then windows freezes
2 instances is works. One for AMD card and other for Nvidia card.
It's a bit none sense to me for separate same task for each type of GPU. Anyway seem like this is the best way that I can do for made it works.
So thanks for idea MinasTirith. <3

Re: Starting Claymore with 4 AMD plus 1 Nvidia and then windows freezes
Try starting them in separate instances....one for all AMDs, and one for Nvidia.
That should do it
Hey nice idea. I will try this.
Thanks for the idea.
Starting Claymore with 4 AMD plus 1 Nvidia and then windows freezes
Hello Guys,
I am newbie of mining at first I try to fix this problem via google but no luck. So I ask you guys for idea to solve my problem.
I am mining Ethereum everything works fine when my rig has 8 Nvidia and 3 AMD GPU. Unfortunately when I attached one more AMD card and start Claymore then windows freezes within 10 seconds.
So I try to reduce scope of problem I found that when I start Claymore with 4 AMD GPU plus 1 Nvidia GPU windows will freezes.
Here is what I try and It works fine:
- Test one by one of VGA Card and Riser.
- Test any group of 3 AMD plus 1 Nvidia. (Just like AMD card number 012 + Nvidia card number 1, AMD card number 023 + Nvidia card number 1 .... bla bla bla)
Here is what I try but no luck:
- Reinstall windows, driver and user latest version of Claymore
- Change PSU to dual 1000Watt + 1300Watt
If you guys has any idea to investigate this problem, I would appreciate it.
Here is log file before Claymore freezes
