Currently using a Z170A MSI M5 board. Guess it's back to MC to try a Z270 board.

I used the Z170A M5 for my two linux/470/570 rigs. Works flawlessly. But for VEGA was reading it's really finniky with boards. So I broke down and bought the slitghty more expensive (even more so on Amazon) Asrock H110 Pro+ board. I only need 4 of the 13 slots, but people reporting good results for Vega (even though the reviews people complain about it a lot).
Yes I have several of the M5's and they work amazing for 8 570s.

Thank you for this. It's available same day shipping for me. It'll be here this afternoon.

In the meantime I grabbed THREE different boards from MC to try them out as well.
How are you getting on with the new boards, dude?
Expecting my Onda D1800 any day now, can't wait to start inflicting myself the pain of trying to get 6 Vegas to hash... Tongue Cheesy

I gave a try to Hellae's guide and mods yesterday. I can verify that all worked out pretty well (thanks to the good silicon I got I guess). But something bothers me ...

They are 2x 64 + 56 - all at 1408/1100 with his mod's voltages (think 905).

1) GPU-Z is showing 1V on all 3.
2) The things are damn hot. The full other rig I have, using these settings (but modded at 1220 GPU and then set to 1407 with overdriventool) are running 47-55 with up to 2800rpm. The 3 fresh cards are at 62-65 with 3200 RPM ....
3) Power usage is around 670-690W on the 3 card system. I kinda expected a bit better , its nowhere near the advertized values it seems.

Any idea what am I doing wrong here? What can be done to fix the issue? One of the 64s was running alone with the oldcomer's mod with overdrive tweaks at under 50C for a week on top of my desktop ... Now where did that 15C temp increase came from?

I've had the same bug. Try to set P7 in overdriveNtool to 910mV (or 920, 930). This change lowered the voltage and the consumption for me.

This is very weird, I have not tried this with the overdriventool yet, but when setting the voltage at wattman at "manual" I suddenly started to get 50W less usage.
Sadly, after a restart - there was no way to reproduce this.

I am installing three more cards today/tomorrow, so I hope I manage to find a way to fix this. Especially the heat.

As I have no xp with 56er except this one - are they hotter than the 64s in general, or they should have same temps?

I was wondering has anyone tried out the vega frontier edition yet. do the guides to get it running to around 1900 h/s work on the FE edition as well? I was going to build a rig for rendering animations as well, and I wanted to know if I should go with the Frontier or 56/64 way. I know about all of the guides and setups to make the 64 work to 1900 h/s and was wondering if these will work (including that blockchain driver) for the FE as well.

I have had 1 Vega Frontier running on a Z170 board, I have 2 others but disabling and re-enabling fails to re-enable the other 2 although I managed to get 2 running once both at max speed.

I have now had one VF running for 2 weeks solid with xmr-stak-amd, average 2106H/s peak 2500+ mining electroneum (2 threads 2016)

blockchain driver, when it was running 2 cards was following a clean install on a reinstalled windows (using windows repair feature)

How much XMR should bring GPU?

A single rx vega 56/64 can pull about 2000 hashes/second at about 150W if that's what you mean.

How many XMR?

It depends ))

Vega 56 will do 1,900 and do so with stability and low power draw.  Getting there is a pain, but the path is pretty well explained in this thread and the Cast thread.

I wouldnt run two Vegas on one 8pin cord from the PSU.  Your options are either two risers or both plugs on one GPU.

I'm using server PSU's and taking one 6-pin cable and connecting it to a Y splitter that has (2) 6+2 ends that I plug into my 1080 Ti's and my Vegas (different rigs).

It's working fine.  If you know what you are doing and you dial back your Nvidia cards, or your Vega cards, so that they are not drawing above 250watts per card, I don't think there is a problem.

I've been doing this for a while so I don't think this is luck.

Is anyone here running their Vegas on one 8 pin PCIe cable split into 2 6+2 connectors? I know daisy chaining can be bad but the cables that came with the PSU ( Corsair hx1000 ) are heavy duty compared to other PCIe cables with only one 6+2 connection.

I am running mine at the  2x8pin (technically 8 + 6+2pin)  cables that came with my corsairs. don't you have enough of these? with the rm1000x there are 4 of these per psu.  

Yeah I have 4x 8pin to 2x6+2pin. Up till now I've only been running 2 Vegas from the PSU using two cables per Vega. Just read a lot of horror stories regarding daisy chaining PCIe cables, although most of this is people using the splitters. I didn't find much info on wether it was safe to use one PCIe cable for each vega

I tried running a 56 off a splitter, seemed to work fine but it was just one.  Next I will try two 56s off the same cable.  Corsair CX750M.  I am mining CryptoNight though, not EthHash, which is very gentle on power compared to EthHash.

I guess I don't understand your recommendation.  What do you mean two risers?

It will handle it for sure if it is a quality PSU and cable.

Would I do it my self (again :p) ? No, unless your pc is in a highly fire retardant enviorment.


A quality 8pin cable is rated for 24 amps so around 290W. There is probably another 100w head room as well. So lets say 400w very max.

2 vegas should not be pulling above 200w, (250w peak maybe) from the pcie cables @ cryptonight.


But DO NOT DO THIS on a cheap bronze rated PSU. These use cheap crimp terminals and housings that will fail. On high end PSU's its doable.

47MH means "just" $2/day on the Vega. Does not look much.

Look at this new miner:

mkxminer: optimized Lyra2rev2 miner for AMD GPUs (Vertcoin, Monacoin, XVG)

=== Speeds (no overclocking)
Radeon Pro Duo: 84.8MHs (42.4 + 42.4)
Fury X: 55MHs
Vega56: 47MHs (can be optimised further, just need some time and incentive)
RX 580: 39MHs
RX 480: 36MHs
R9 390: 32MHs
R9 380X: 26MHs
R9 280X: 26MHs

I suppose Ethereum going to POS next year is going to be stress free event now!

What am I looking at? Why those numbers so high?

New Assembler-optimized Lyra2rev2 Miner for AMD GPUs!

Fee based and this hashing per AMD card type without overclocking.

Currently, it has limited pool capability, so you will need to check pools or perhaps PM the developer to work on a particular pool.

Just as a comparison:

GTX 1060 gets 26mhs
GTX 1070 gets 39mhs
GTX 1080 TI get 60mhs

Here a link to the forum post on it's release:
