Question:

Why my AfterBurner does not allow me to change memory clock?

Win 7, Crimson 15.12

4x R9 390 (3x XFN and 1x PowerColor)

Should I unlock smth in AB or what Smiley ?

For sure, there are two reasons why I run my Rigs on stock Speed:

On the 390er Rig I use 2 x Corsair HX1200i (3 x r9-390 on 1 PSU) When I overclock the 6 Cards there drain over 2250 Watts from the PSU´s. Its unsafe for me to push the Units to there Limits.
And the Temperature goes much higher. On warm Days over 83 +. If I build more Rigs and can put them in a separate Room with air condition then I can tune up these Cards.

With overclocking the Single R9-390 Rig reach about 198 MH/s hashing Speed.


Thank you, Gary

Ich habe SIA Coins seit dem 16.ten Juli mit Claymores Dualminer laufen. Da SIA eh nur nebenbei gerechnet wird habe ich von den Pools abgesehen und eigentlich immer solo gerechnet. Ich bin bis jetzt sehr gut damit gefahren.  4 Blöcke in knapp einem Monat. Sicher braucht man auch etwas Glück.

Mit SIA geht das überraschend einfach:

1.) SIA-UI installieren, Seed aufschreiben/abspeichern, Wallet öffnen
2.) Claymore starten :-)

Meine Befehlszeile:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.worker -epsw x -dpool http://localhost:9980/miner/header -dcoin sia -mode 0 -dcri 45 -tstop 85 -ethi 16 -dbg -1

Any reason why you dont want to slightly overclock the rigs?

True but the fans on the MSI 290 are horrible and have a short life.  Also very loud and run pretty hot at 100% GPU utilization.  30-40 days and the cooler is paid for hopefully.   I have had these 290s many months now and they have paid for themselves already.  1 fan on each of my 290s died recently and I was tired of the heat and the noise the factory cooler put out.

That actually makes sense. If you have busted fans it may be cheaper to buy one of these coolers than a new GPU.

I'll have to keep that in mind for my own equipment!

MSI R9 290 with Arctic Accelero Hybrid III - 140 (R9-290X) Multi-Compatible Air/Liquid Cooler


Am I missing something? It's entirely possible I'm wrong. I just did the math in my head.

At $99 for this cooler this isn't worth it.  The speed improvement isn't enough to justify the cost of the cooler. You can just buy more GPUs.

280x used to have 20+ mh on eth but that is over since the dag size increase, stilt bios won't help you, I have 4 r9 280x with stilt bios and runs at 17.8-18.3eth / 446-460 sia (2different brands, undervolted to the max)

Thanks for the info..  Id keep them anyway  never know what will be the next profitable coin to mine after eth goes POS.  Could be some advantage.. I agree tho i dont think we will squeeze much more hash outta those 7970/280x cards.   i just purchased an xfx rx470  shows only 102 watt total draw on gpu z @ 22mhs Eth. will confirm once i have some more time.  Been fighting heat again.. Pushing mid 90's in midwest with 75% humidity.

Ill get you some real world data later this weekend. I have a whole variety of cards to show results.

You can't get 20MH/s with a 280X anymore. Max is maybe 18.50-19.00MH/s

There is a Stilt BIOS which was used to maximise Litecoin/Scrypt mining.

I wonder if that BIOS can push the max to mine ETH.

Been looking for this Stilt BIOS high and low but I couldn't find it.

Anybody has one?

Check this out.  hope you can find them here.. I would save them all just to make sure you have them. seems they are being deleted everywhere.  Get em while ya can now may be useful in the future.

-dcri 60 -ethi 16 i get 17.2 M'hs ETH and 517 m'hs SIA. dual miner [/color][/b]

why people can mine with 20mhs and i cant?Huh?

Thanks rep++

-dcri 60

That is you problem. this value for dual mining should be maximum 40

I only changed the intensity: ethi 16 and dcri 40

Got you!

Very good performance - thank you!


i have 1x R9 280x Sapphire  win 7 x64 claymore 5.3 driver 15.12 and set overclocking to 1100/1600 powelimit 20, -dcri 60 -ethi 16 i get 17.2 M'hs ETH and 517 m'hs SIA. dual miner


when i dont use overclock i get 15 M'hs eth and 240 mhs sia


i test to use ethOS distribution linux and get 17mhs max..


why people can mine with 20mhs and i cant?Huh?

Strange, I am on Windows 8.1, and max I can set is 2050...

Will investigate a bit on that tomorrow...

Mine are PowerColor and ASUS 480s

Thanks
You probably have the 16.7.3 driver that have lower mem clock limit (2050)
Switch to 16.7.2 and the limit will be 2250.
