Re: Best overclock settings for RX580 8GB

I have both RX 580 MSI Armor X OC and RX 580 Gigabyte AORUS.

My sweat spot is with TeamRedMiner 0.8.0
core 1150@825mV
mem 2150@800mV
62-64W reported in HiveOS (probably something like 110W at wall)

31.15 MH/s per GPU

I'm glad with it, because of the low power and low temp for a really nice Hashrate


No strap and/or rxboost settings?

Thanks

My best is 1100 core and 2050 memclock.
Bios mode or -strap 1 in phoenix and You`ll get 29.9-30.5Mhash.
It`s power setting`s. Somme gpu`s can handle it at 750mv, somme at 850(samsung hynix memory)

I'm using nanominer (since claymore is wonked) and I can't find anything on -strap and -rxboot for it.

Which miner are you using?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me to get back to 31mh (sigh)

Gigabyte GTX 1070 windforce OC 8GB  X 6

afterburner   : power 79 on 1200 watt psu,  mem clock  +780, core clock -200 , fan 75

ethermine =  current 212
                  reported 197.2

still gona try and clamp power .


That's about right.  My dual EVGA 1070s are getting about 62-64mh/s.  Problem is that being in CA I also pay .25kwh, so 75% of eth mining goes to SCE.  I had to shut down my two 6x1060 rigs because in April with the halving and insane diff I was actually paying to mine.

I was hoping that maybe ZEC would be a good alt coin to get into, but it appears not.

Gotta mine in TX (.08kwh), or have a killer solar system to make anything these days.

Hi to all
I decided to expose my prob here after so many searches and unsuccessful attempts...

To start here my config :
-Win 7 pro X64
-i7 3930k with asus P9X79
-32 Go DDR3
-128 GB SSD
-2x Titan X (pascal) 12Go DDR5x

I tried to mine eth with Claymore and ethminer genoil and i had always the same result ; only 6.5 mhs for each cards... I know i can have really better hashrate but it seems impossible !
I tried so many things found on every forum but without results...

I tried other coins:
- Zcash (with zec miner) -> 400 sol/s for each
- SiaCoin (with marlin) -> 1500 mh/s for each

I don't know if those hashrate are normal or not, if my problem concerns only eth or all coins

Please help me !!!

(sry for my english, not my native language..)


Hi there, the Titan series is great for video editing, rendering, and so on.  Not so good for mining.

Check the thread if you haven't: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1968067.0

That was with a power limit of 85

85 is too high.  Drop that to 65-68 and you'll see the temps drop.  BTW, the 1060s are rated to work fine up to about 80c but prefer to be under 70c.  You are well within the specs.

Thanks for sharing, I'm curious about ETH hashrate too if you can test it.

Didn't manage to run it, but I think it will be around 18.5 MH/s without manual OC.

Forgot to mention, my GPU is MSI ARMOR, core clock is 1900-1940 during mining (out of box speed), while tdp is 70-75%, temperature is 65-69 degress, ambient temperature is around 23.

Overall is seems to be 66% of GTX 1070 while being also 66% of it's price. So I would recommend to pick 1070 in most cases.

I run a couple rigs, one with 1060 3g and one with 1060 OC 6g and a couple 1070.  The 1070's do run about 30% better rates, however, they also suck more juice at the wall, which translates into more heat and cost. I'd rather not pay for a PC heater thanks.

Right now the most efficient and cost-effective rig (people are gonna be hatin' I'm sure) are EVGA 1060 OC 6g single fan.  A 6x rig will churn out 140mh/s+ while running at 68c and drawing only 500w at the wall.  THAT is not bad for a cheap (never thought I'd call a $270 card cheap) card.

Mining Eth (power between 60-65%, core 0, memory clock +400-600 depending on GPU)
ALL EVGA
1060 3g 18mh/s
1060 OC 6g 22.5-24 mh/s
PNY 1070 OC Gaming 32.5 mh/s

Biostar BTC 250 MoBo, 8g, SSD, Celeron, EVGA 850 G2 Gold... cheap cheap cheap, room for 8 gpu's on that PSU BTW

Hint: Cheap out on everything but the PSU. Cheap PSU can blow the entire rig or worse... burn your house down.

Hi guys,

Anyone with 1060 Gigabyte windforce OC 6G here?

I got 6 of them in my rig. Hynix memory  Cry

I'm pulling 1700-1750 sols on Zcash out of the box. do you have settings to get better hashrate?

Tried eth but i can't OC the cards more than mem + 500 or miner crashes.
I was getting 15,5Mh out of the box, 18,8Mh with core-200 mem+500 but even then it's not stable. i get hashrate drops and crashes. anyone had the same issue? got a solution?
Don't change your core clock, and especially not -200.  The best stable I got underclocking the core was about -75.  I've abandoned that entirely. Try keeping the core at 0, power at 65, and start at +500 on the memory clock as you have it now.  Then run for a bit, and try adding +20 until you start becoming unstable.

You'll save on juice and should be able to get them above 22mh.  All rigs are different, but 18 on a 6g of any flavor is really low.


Is there any difference between EVGA GTX 1060 6GB single fan and the same "Superclocked" version? in terms of mining performance I mean...

After I responded last month with "I doubt there would be much of a difference as the cores are the same" I realized the cores (SC 1544/1759 - Gaming 1506/1708 are indeed different... oops) So, to prove it to myself, I ordered 3 of them and ran them alongside 3 SCs... and viola they indeed hash at exactly the same rates and they play nicely with each other; MSI AB sees them as the same cards.
My MSI settings:
Power - lowered to 67%
Core Clock +20 (seems to help keep them a bit more stable - might be imaginary)
Memory Clock +490 - over 500 they start hashing like a roller coaster - At +490 they consistently hash a little more than they report, proving that sometimes less it more.
Fans on a steep manual setting which keeps the cards all well below 60c yet never running the fans above 50%, except the main card (16x slot) which runs at about 64c at 65% fan.

Total for the 6x rig is right at 134-135, 6 hour is 139.7, and the rig calculates to earn almost $700mo according to nanopool with ETH price of 1380.

The final answer is that they mine exactly the same as an SC. I'm kicking myself because I could have saved over $300 getting the base gaming model, however the SC will probably hold resell value better.


Note: I also tested 3x dual fan EVGA 1060 SSC 6g cards (1607/1835) and... they sucked oh so badly!  I spent 4 days trying to figure out why, making tweaks, running them by themselves with ZERO luck getting them above 17.5mh! I paid a $50 premium thinking they would hash better (on paper) and ended up sending them right back. A waste of time and a lot of money.


HNY EVERYONE! Smiley

Doesn't really matter if a coin been mined or just created out of the thin air and distributed on some fancy way, if there are no real world services for it.

^ This. Mining is fetishized in this community, to me it's just a means to an end. People forget what attracts the mainstream to Bitcoin is not how the coins are created but the end use of it.
You are probably right, but to get there bitcoins was supported by many miners (not investors investing their money on dev good words) who invested in hardware, time, electricity etc... real investors (and shady one as well...) who created company to use and support bitcoins.

Non-minable coins rely mostly on unreliable dev and investors, there is basically no future to them, because anybody going to these coins are only interested in short term profit (and no mining means also no string attached... you don't need to buy or sell hardware or anything... ), there is nothing in that which would bring confidence in those coins to make them mainstream... (well even if you reinvent again and again silkroad... )

No, you invest in the coins themselves and hold them like equities which pay a dividend. There is an investment, just not in hardware and electricity.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a gpu miner with several rigs running 24/7 and happy as a clam with how eth is rolling up. However, I am also openminded and see the advantages of POS, so I'm also building a stake in Ripple using my mined eth.

BTC has become centralized by the four major pools in China.  China is well known as a currency manipulator so expect more of the same for BTC in the future.

BTC and ETH have both proven to be archaic at this point.  When their networks get flooded they can't handle it well. Some transactions taking days is exactly what it wasn't intended to be. I don't know what THE coin(s) will ultimately be, but I do know it won't be BTC, ETH, LTC, or BTH. Maybe IOTA, Ripple, Steem, Walton... who knows.  Maybe we'll get a better handle on it by 2018/19.

I would have to concur. While it takes no effort to fork and it is completely within the ethos of cryptocurrencies, much like low-quality ICO's, these thrown together forks likely do more damage than good from an industry perspective. The free market will eventually be educated well  enough to discern fact from fiction but until then, this is the state of a burgeoning new paradigm.

agreed....

 

Should this fork turn out to bring real innovation to the industry ....

...and I think we  both know the odds of that happening are miniscule to zero, at best

I thought the key premise of this coin was to be pool-resistant. I guess someone forgot to tell suprnova? They do have a spreadcoin pool, right?

this forking nonsense has gotten beyond ridiculous and now is just a cancerous blight on crypto. sad really
Seems they've discovered a new seemingly legitimate way to artificially pump the price of their coins, eh?

I believe we are in the very early days still, but Blockchain will have to get its sh%t together sooner than later. IBM, Samsung, and other monster tech companies are jumping in full throttle, so they'll force it to do so... while squeezing out the majority of small miners and crap coins in the process.  New tech never fails to bring out the sharks.

I can't believe in this story, we need some proof.
If you have 2FA, you need the device to get the pass code that changes every 30 seconds or the hacker is like god and can bypass it.
In bittrex, if you acess from differente IP, you need to confirm via email, so hacker need to hack your email too.
Not impossible but its very hard to get something like this.

I think your friend doesn't have 2FA, only email alert, so if his password compromised he got hacked.

I'm leaning toward your opinion. The odds of hacking IP based email verification is hard enough, let alone 2 part logins. It sounds more like the people losing their coins have a security issue on their end rather than on Bittrex.

I sure hope this is the case. I don't want to wake up one morning to a Nicehash scenario, where there may not have actually been a hack and could have been an outright theft. <<
Any exchange/pool/wallet is only as safe as the coders are honest. This is why I have abandoned JAXX, opting for Exodus.

Gotta be very careful especially at the levels the markets are at.

I couldn't say, but I'd think there shouldn't be too much of a difference if the cuda cores are the same. I only know what I run and what I've tried and so far the evga single fan 1060 OC 6g are the best bang for the buck and easiest on the juice. They basically run right around 80w per card at the wall.  I'll know better when I finish building the next rig which will be exclusively 1060s. I'm expecting a 6x rig will run well below 500w and churn out 140-150mh/s.  I'll know in a week or two and post.

I get about 410-450 MH/s with 18 GTX 1060 6GB's
I run power limit 75%
MEm clock +550
They run at +- 65c
Now with the byzantium hard fork my earnings got trippled.
I now have an etimated earning of 1010$ a month at ethermine.

earnings aren't tripled.  It's ~25% increase.  With byzantium difficulty is dropped back to ~1600 from ~3000 while the mining rewards are 3 ETH/blk from 5 ETH/blk

Definitely not tripled. I'm doing 182mh/s and I've noticed it jumped from about .70 eth to .89 month. So you are spot on at 25% or so. Works for me. Tongue

I understand what you typed, but that's what is so confusing.

I think your calculation is wrong.
This is my 3 x R9 270x and 46.49MH/s power i have.
Earning in last 24 hours 1.533089 ETH (dwarfpool)
earn $2 per card i think its not possible.

I did a test with a gtx 960 tweaked and managed 8.2mh/s over 6 hours on nanopool in claymore eth only.  That is about .49 a day, and a 970 can do about 2.5 times that so maybe $1.20 a day? I believe the 970 can be tweaked to do about 24mh/s eth, however that's right at bricking them.



Speaking of Claymore...  why not just dual mine ETH and sia or pasc?  Seems that would be the best return when I check the calculations.
