Hello guys
I have a problem when I mining monero  with amended bios
http://www.3rbz.com/uploads/46f111f74f381.jpg
but When I do return to normal BIOS works well
I want to help solve this problem

SGMiner-GM, AMDGPU-PRO, Sapphire Nitro+ 470 4GB (Hynix), custom memory timings.

You also might want to mention the chance of him achieving those figures himself is close to zero Tongue

That's true.
then whats the trick behind this lol? to achieve your hashrates.

Might be because you are using linux?

I told you already - custom memory timings. Not copied.
I think it must be 1500 memory strap copied in other higher timings right? is that all the changes you made?

No. It's custom!
I still do not get what does custom mean here. Sry to ask but is it gonna be a secret? Or can anyone do this?

well probably if wanted to share his knowledge he would already do it.
So you got your answer, he did not only copy lower strap times to higher freq, he modified them.
Thank u. Do u mean he used hex editor? What really does modifying mean? How would it affect performance?

Most likely something like Polaris Bios Editor. This allows you to load your GPU's bios setting and modifying. The "Strap-1500" method that people talk about is copying the long string of numbers under 1500 timing and pasting them over the existing values for the higher speeds then saving that nd flashing your GPUs with it.  BUT... timings are only 1 field of many in this bios editor, so yes, he has likely made changes to other fields to achieve the extra speed.

The other thing to be aware of is that mining is not 100% about speed.  Most smart miners work to achieve the best possible speed per watt ratio. There may be some exceptions to this but for the most part, you will make more profit by fine-tuning your rigs to get the best ratio, which won't necessarily be the highest speed.

Furthermore... yes, when you hear someone talk about a "custom mod" and they don't volunteer any further info, then it is very likely that they simply don't feel like sharing what likely took them many hours to figure out for free. Nothing wrong with this IMO but you will find others in this forum who don't mind sharing their settings and such.  Bottom line, you can drive yourself crazy trying to match the speed of others. There are so many factors involved and sometimes you can have the exact same hardware and setting but still not match someone elses speed (maybe you got a bad batch of GPUs or they got an exceptionally good one, etc, etc).

My recommendation would be to mod your cards with the well-known/tested method first and that will get you most of the way there.  If you have the gumption, you can play around with settings, bios, etc but be forewarned that it can cause tons of downtime and messing with bios could brick your card, especially if you are experimenting.  You have to ask yourself if it's worth it.  If you are already getting like 700 and maybe could get to 750 but trying to get there causes days of downtime and possibly bricks 1 or more of your GPUs, you could make a very good argument that the extra 50 likely isn't worth it.  But of course, everyone has their own thresshold for things like this, so good luck with yours .

How to get monero wallet? poleniex or monero.org?

Download official wallet here:

Thanks Claymore for next great miner  Smiley  Getting 1600 HS with 7990+7950, just wanted to ask you guys what setting are you using for gpu mining in msi afterburner or whatever you are using coz I heard somewhere that it's better to use bigger power limit + voltage for monero mining... Is that true? Thanks

I have a r9 fury (-800 h/s) and r9 290 (-700 h/s) but the combined speed of both when the miner reports in blue text is only 1383. Is that correct? Also it seems like the default hashcount for the fury is a bit high? My fury is using almost all 4 gb of ram it has. Whats the optimal hashcount setting for a r9 fury?

thanks!

what i must write at bat file
for mining minero?HuhHuhHuh

This is my 380 bat file:

Quote
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://monerohash.com:3333 -u YOUR ADDRESS -p x -di 01 -a 0 -tt 80 -cclock 1070 -mclock 1600

I would change the clock and mem to 1050/1500 for 280x.

280x with a modified Bios mining with 470 h/s Default, not overclock
and another 280h with modified Bios digs with 620 h/s Defoult, not overclock
with identical Miner are ( Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner  v9.6 Beta)
Why is that?

This is something I am quite familiar with.  When I was mining ZCash I modded all my 280x's and 380's.  The mods performed as expected as discussed in the https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hacked-modified-memory-strap-bios-database-for-zec-mining-1676474 Hacked Memory Mod thread.

I didn't bother to put them back to stock then started using this miner with those same mods, some of the cards performed in low 600's with 1050/1500 undervolted to 1100-1125, others were in the upper 400's range, most averaged around 570.  I re-modded those under-performing cards and now they perform like the others.  I have no idea why.  Needless to say, I believe that the optimal memory timing for Tahiti and this algorithm have yet to be disclosed.  Ask Wolf0 if he agrees.  Wink
