Most often, I avoid ANY kind of YouTube tutorial/howto/informative video on technology... but, you know what? I should give this a real watch and be fair.

Suggestion for an episode would be to take an older rx 480 rig and do the "cradle to grave" dag fix on a windows 10 machine (6 or 8 card rig).
The learning curve to get the power down using bios mod is not as easy as using the watttool which most of us "non pro's" had used. Using MSI AB beta 16 is new to a lot of (i think) us. I already had the settings for the sweet spot of GPU voltage from wattool at (1150mhz), I just needed to figure out which power stage using wattman was close to that value, then used the +/- 100mv swing that MSI AB allowed to fine tune it. It was a massive pain, but the only way I know how to reduce the power consumption was to bios mod which is not intuitive for GPU voltage pointers. I had a mixed rig with 4 x rx470's and 2 x rx570's, with Simpleminer and i was at 160Mh/s at 1050w at wall (no dag fix), but with the method above, was able to go back to win 10 and get the hash up to 175Mh/s with 850w at wall. The key for me is going to be keeping good notes on each rig for MSI AB settings for each card, so if I ever have to rebuilt the OS, it will not take so long to fix.

we popped 44mh on the stream, but way to much power to achieve that.

Can't wait for your Vega 64 review livestream today! Like to see what you can get out of it, since some claim 42 MH/s with just an overclock.
