I have trixx installed, but dont use it for much. What do you sugguest doing with Trixx to help fix throttling? My temps are fairly low (76-77C) and the fan rarely spins above 40%.

Throttling if any is due to boost and/or high temps. Disable any boost and use trixx to set your fan at 100%. Any temps above 70C are high IMO, expecially because the heat from the gpu heatsink prevents the ram from being cool.

It is normal for some fluctuations. Post a video of the cgminer or sgminer using option "-log 1".

I dont know exactly when he removed the files, but he was still posting about 2 weeks ago.

As for why it happened I dont know. Someone mentioned that he may have signed with a new company and has an NDA.

virtualreality69, when exactly did the files get axed?

virtualreality69, the throttling is something you need to fix on your own. Do you use trixx?

Given what we know, and my post which Wipeout2097 further improved, it isn't a surprise. I do wish I knew the motive behind this. I don't need to know who is behind it. Just a motive. If anyone reading this knows, pm me and you'll get a very pathetic offer for some altcoins I've mined.

Here are 3 options:

Option 1: pm the persons(s) who had requested your exact bios.

Option 2: Actually, any bios will work if you use my proposed method and are willing to work a bit. I could probably give you the one I snagged. Do you want it?

Option 3: Suck it up. The same people who were able to get the dropbox files deleted might go after you too!! Might want to not do it or do it on the down low. If you have kids, this is your safest bet. You think I'm kidding...

Was anyone able to archive The Stilt's bio's mods from his 7970/280x post? All the files in his dropBox links have been deleted:
https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12369.0

My XFX 280x runs a crap hash rate 500-550kh/s regardless of the config parameters that I use (I've tried every config option that people recommended in his, this, and other threads).

I think my card gets throttled because hash rate jumps up and down in cgminer/cgwatcher.

Cheers,

TheStilt stopped his service. Any other alternative? Im sitting on vapor-x's r9 280x with a max of 560± hash

IMO, it cannot be too difficult to do a binary diff (using, e.g., http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=154713&t=0&i=1) on each of his three types of mods which were dependent upon the ram chip identifying program he used and which is posted at

http://bal3wolf.centelia.net/DRIVERS/TOOLS/Tahiti_GDDR5_Info.zip

It would be a nice thing to post the results of such a study, as the stilt oddly was secret about his mods. Perhaps he is applying for patents or something?

I suspect/believe he's under NDA.

However the community can indeed work around. Not only a binary diff, but use AtomDis http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mhopf/AtomDis/ to dump bios info and figure out differences. I've been too busy/tired/lazy to do so myself.

Certain 7970 or 280x vapour-x models hash under the recommended Rate no matter what you do I read.

Maybe that's the situation you are in...

But before you need a compare your bios version with this two, because 7970 is very wide model name Grin

Should I still flash it with that? Here is a screenshot of GPU-Z.

This is going on for too long, and you risk killing your card with unnapropriate BIOSes, not to speak about the peace of mind you're losing. People posting random stuff for the sake of a bounty doesn't help either. I'm going to say this for the last time: go and post on this thread: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12369.0 Donate him your 1000 Doge and post your ORIGINAL bios.

Wait and grab your modded bios, edit the voltage to, say, 1081 mV with: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/vbe7-vbios-editor-for-radeon-hd-7000-series-cards.189089/. Or better yet, look into drakoin's undervolting/power saving thread. Donate him some doge too.

Then go to the link mentioned above, pick sgminer and those .bin files on the top comment: http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1va8g2/ann_sgminer_400_release/

Copy those bins to the sgminer folder and either use on your config:

"thread-concurrency" : "24000",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"intensity": "20"

or

"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"intensity": "13"

Please donate upfront to TheStilt for the service. Don't burden him/his thread with what is unnecessary either. I now remember him from old days (some online articles and forums), he is a fantastic human being and hardware expert. IMHO we're very lucky he joined the coin mining community.

@ Wipeout2097 Thanks again and i did donate 2000 doge to TheStilt as soon as he helped me out yesterday. Your right he is a awesome person!!

you sir have saved me!!! thanks to The Stilt I now have a modded bios and Im getting 749kh/s!!! I doubt I would have found that post without your help! if you want some dogecoin sent your way send me your address

Nice. Now, did you set a low voltage on the bios with VBE7, e.g. 1081 mV or even 1050? Did you download the optimized .bin files?

Wow , we have very bad luck with this card. It seems you 'll have to learn a little bit of linux. Also I would suggest you contact the other guy from the weminecryptos forum as it seems he own the same 21197-00 card as yours (see https://www.weminecryptos.com/forum/topic/1080-low-hash-7970-please-help/?p=6718)

Is your card a 21197-00-40G

Thanks..... i tried flashing the bios you mentioned, flashed successfully in DOS. But the card doesn't like the bios and failed to boot. So i flashed the stock bios back. Can you suggest another bios to try?

OK I found something which should do the trick in the bunch of my bookmarks :
https://www.weminecryptos.com/forum/topic/1080-low-hash-7970-please-help/?p=7219

Also when you search for problems on a particular card you should use its reference like 21197-00-40G in ggl.

700KH is on the way

Hmm very interesting...... I flashed the 280x bios and the card works fine but...... im having some problems with the drivers Cry

. I installed the exact amd drivers he mentioned and AMD catalyst just says failed to load drivers. If i switch back to stock bios AMD catalyst starts and works as normal. I have a 2nd PC I might chuck the card in that and see what happens

EDIT: tried the card in my 2nd pc, exact same problem. without any drivers it boots to windows fine, but after installing AMD drivers it blue screen's on boot.

x2 EDIT: found this fourm http://www.overclock.net/t/1433293/flash-7970-to-r9-280x-bios/80 seems im not alone with this problem and it seems that a reference 7970 cant be flash with a 280x bios, If you have a non reference 7970 then you can flash a 280x bios....... and yes i have a reference 7970 Cry
