Guys

Need some help

I have one rig thats driving me nuts

8 x Gigabyte Aorus 4gb Rx570's some with ELPIDA and some with Hynix
Asus z270-a
g4400
ddr 8gb
windows 10 fresh install
Blockchain drivers

My biggest issue is that when i make changes to the batch file the computer freezes..i get the blue screen with an error "Thread stuck in Device Driver"
I have swapped out motherboard with a new one...added more power...re installed windows several times....did clean DDU driver uninstalls several times etc...ONLY after i make a change and reboot it it MIGHT start hashing correctly....by correctly i mean it will always hash but at the stock clocks. I then need to resstart Claymore several times until it gets the overclocks.
I normally use the claymore batch file for all of my overclocks and undervolts...so i have tried several versions of MSI AB and its the same thing....
Am i doing something wrong ir is it these particular cards ? I even changed to Claymore 9.8 but that lowers the hash every so often to 14mh acroos all the cards ?
Also Compared to my other rigs this one is using a lot of electricity over 150w per card
I have used Polaris Editor 1.62 to change timings
Im at my wits end and can use some help if someone has run into these issues before
Thanks in advance

Try increasing the swap file size. I think this applies only to Claymore for the Cryptnote algo (suggests 8GB swap per card, so for 8 cards it's a 64GB swap file) but it might help, you never know.
Or try the latest Claymore version 10.0.

I release my stable version of RX 570 8GB
Hynix Memory
Sapphire Nitro +

http://www97.zippyshare.com/v/qIiJ4tUg/file.html

I use this Claymore 10 settings "-cclock 1340 -mclock 1750" and undervolt -96, for about 30.8MH/s ~ 31.0MH/s Eth and Dcr 616.462 Mh/s dual mining.....with no memory errors and securely 60°C - 65°C 24/7.

Use it freely, but I'd appreciate some ETH donation.

If for some reason you can't flash this BIOS, just extract 1750 strap and replace your original from 1750 to 2000 strap, then increase MEM max frequency to 1750 Default and Clock 1340 and flash it.

angelo

are you saying to change the mem and core settings in the actual bios itself ?

Thanks

I must admit his post confuses me, too...no way that BIOS gives 31MH/s dual mining at 1750MHz

Guys long story short, just use the Polaris Bios Editor v1.6.2 and use the automatic function + tweak voltages and other settings. you'll get decent performance, and then after that you can try to improve on it. Should be the easiest way.

I second that emulsion. I've done some tests with copying straps from 1750 to 2000, etc, and found that using the 'One Click Timing' option in Polaris Bios Editor would give the same or sometimes better results.

They're superb cards, you just need mining BIOS

@Branko,

Do you have the regular Aorus rx580 8g(hynix) (non gaming/non xtr)?

Can you share your mining bios with me?

What bios editor did you use to modify your bios?

Are you using the blockchain driver?

Are you using MSI Afterburner to overclock core/mem and undervolt? Which version of MSI AB are you using?

Can you share the hashrates you are getting and gpu temps and power consumption?

Don't have the card, but the way how cooling is made it HAS to get good results.
I use SRBPolaris editor for bios modifications
I always use blockchain driver, theres no reason not to
I always OC with wattman, although AB is fine too

Try to use ordinary strap shifting, that should bring you to 27+

Please help me with improve Gigabyte Aorus rx570 8GB(hynix). performance.

with stock bios + stock driver(NOT blockchain)
I use trixxx to undervolt by -156mV to 0.925mV core and set clocks: 1140core/2000mem with 65%fan
results are quite poor:
ETH:20.4Mh/s with temps at 65C consuming 90W

MSI Afterburner Beta 19 was unable to undervolt the card since voltage settings are locked!

I then tried the blockchain driver with same settings.
results are still poor:
ETH:24Mh/s with temps at 61C

Are the regular(NOT gaming/NOT xtr) Gigabyte Aorus rx570 8GB(hynix) really just not good for mining?
Anyone here getting good results?

Everywhere I look the following is recommended: BIOS modded with copy 1:1500 to 1:1625, 1:1750, 1:2000 and the 2:1500 to 2:1625, 2:1750, 2:2000

On those exact same cards I am only getting 26Mh/s so let me know how you do and what you end up with.

You need a custom timing strap to get to 30 Mh territory.

My Gaming X 580 4gb could go up to 30.3 eth and 755 dcr @ 140w at the wall.

all my sapphires AMD and actually EVGA 1070 are doing that. I think its the thermal paste breaking down. I tested the oil, its non conductive. It's weird but dont really mess with the workings of the cards. 390's did it too back in the day.

Before I took up mining I had several graphics cards over the years and this oil problem never occured on any of those cards. But I guess that running a card 24/7 at high temperatures was never what the manufactures had envisioned, but what about the mining farms have they not had similar, or even worse, leaky oil problems with there cards ?
The manufacturers of these card must know about this problem but won't admit it so as to mitigate any damage to there reputation.

Good ,

I had the same problem with the Sapphire RX 480 OC, and they did not give me a solution, I have photos of how to create the oil drop, but they do not care because the GPU works correctly.

Final I have them working with the fan 100% since if they do not stop by temperature.

The heatsink is the problem, but the retailer does not send them to the house for what I mentioned before.

A greeting.

Inherent fault with XFX RX580 cards - leaking oily substance.

Has anyone had this problem with the XFX RX580 8GB GTR-S Black Edition (or any other variant), where an oily like substance oozes out of the card along the bottom edge.
I bought 2 of these cards about 4 months ago they are leaking this sticky oily goo. I didn't notice it until a fan failed on one of the cards and I sent it back to the retailer who, initially, said they would not validate the warranty as there was signs of liquid damage (the oily ooze). After phoning them up and having a discusion with them that it look like it was a problem with the card and not me spilling Coke all over it they agreed it was not my fault and gave a full refund, they would have replaced the card but there are none to be had.

I've attached a photo of the other XFX RX580, still working, showing the oily goo to a lesser extent than on the faulty card.
It's hard to spot on the photo but you can see how it has stained around the screw labled MT202 and the dust sticking to the oil.

There is a mention of this happening with Sapphire RX480 cards on this forum..

why in the world would it let you undervolt if you run that high of the core clock Grin

i have this bios on my 8x Gaming X 4gb elpida cards and they run 29.6 eth 740 dcr @ 140w at the wall. Temps ranges from 58-60C only with 40% fan.

Ill try to reduce core clock more inline with what you guys are doing. I was just experimenting trying to get a higher hash rate. Can you share all your settings. When you say "i have this bios" were you referring to the exact same modifications to your BIOS that I specified? If so, I'm just not sure what else I could do to get the hash rate up ~30. Lowering the core clock and under volting shouldn't make it faster. Mine were also running around 60C albiet a little higher fan speed.
