Hey Guys,

I have an r7 370 that is not recognized anymore. The fans are spinning but Windows/Linux cannot see it

Since it has never happened to me before am i looking at a burnt card?


Had the same issue, its mostlikely dead, try it in another rig and if it still not working its most likely dead,
When you will try in the other rig, make sure its not on a riser, has to be on the MB slot.


Thanks I will try this first

Thank you @kdepfyffer i have tried multiple risers and rigs. I think its burnt

@adaseb- I will probably do this in the end Smiley

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and contribution

on my 7970 I have 298H/s with 1100/1575, and it works without crash
but i can't improve my Sapphire 280x Tri-X OC to this results, I have only 286H/s in stable. What clocks are you used?
p.s. timings are 1250MHz

Strange Huh I tried to mod bios, but i did not achieve any increase in performance. Maybe you could share your bios domp of 280x? atm i get 245-260h/s

For all you unbelievables here are the results after 20 hours (look at the low rejection rate)

I also have a 7950 in another rig running at 285H/s

If you aren't getting these speeds, hack your memory straps, use 15.12 drivers, use windows 7.

The other 2 slower Tahitis are 1000mhz core clock because they are the crap Gigabyte windforce and overheat easily so I can't run them at 1100mhz, however chances are they would run at 330h/s under 1200mhz.

So the hashrate is clearly linked to engine core clock speed.

However for them to run at 1200Mhz you would need to run at stock voltage or overvolt and your power consumption would be in the Scrypt Litecoin power consumption terrority. I am talking about 300-350Watt per GPU at the wall. Not worth the extra speed boost.

Especially since the Gigabyte Windforce 7950/7970 were known to catch fire during the litecoin days.

Even at 1100 your crazy...that must be what in the 250 watt territory? I run my Tahiti's at 975 to keep them under 160 watts @ 270s/s. Don't think the extra 10-20S are worth the 50-100 watts per card. 

At 1100 it uses 200 watt only because you can still undervolt them.

can you share your 280x bios dump?

Hi,

I have a problem if I try to connect more than 6 GPUs to my AsRock H81 Pro BTC v2.0 mobo. I bought an extender riser (PCI-E x1 -> 3*PCI-E x1) and I use normal USB3 PCI-E x1->x16 risers. Everything's  fine until I connect the 7th card. I can connect the first 6 card any way I want it but after the 7th card connected I got blank screen when I turn on the rig.

How do I make it work with 7 or 8 cards?

are you using Windows 7 perhaps? I have an 8 Card system and the only way I got them to work was with Windows 10 and Ubuntu. But it can also be the fact that your MB don't support more than 6 PCIE cards. Have you tried connecting 5 cards and one dual card? such as 7990, 295x ? I have two 7990 and 4 other cards in my 8 card system. Not using the PCI Switch.

I use Win10, but I can't get to boot the OS. I turn on the rig and nothing happens. I don't have dual cards, I use RX470 GPUs.

Maybe AsRock H81 Pro BTC v2.0 mobo doesn't support more than 6 PCI-E devices? I tried to disable integrated audio, serial ports, etc. in the bios, then connected the 7th card but also didn't work.

I don't want to buy an expensive server/workstation mobo. Is there any chance to use 7 or 8 PCI-E devices? I searched for modded bios for this mobo but didn't find anything. Or it's the limit of the H81 chipset, not the bios?

damn i miss old times when ocing tahiti, what result stock r9 280x? tahiti easy to get 1200mhz but crazy sucking power
rx 480 8gb got 285 sol at stock clock/mem without asm, what speed under linux on asm mode?

Hey Guys,

I have an r7 370 that is not recognized anymore. The fans are spinning but Windows/Linux cannot see it

Since it has never happened to me before am i looking at a burnt card?

Since its a 370, you most likely still have warranty on it, send it to the manufacteur.

630 H/s in zec mining with 2 r9 280 x Claymore  11.1 bullshit - Grin Thanksss Claymore Team Good Job

It's amazing that it's always the noobs with 20 random comments that manage to get the best results.. what a coincidence

Yup. Utter BS.

Hi,

I have a couple rigs connected and my internet connection becomes very slow, any ideas? What can I do? What if I change difficulty or something?

Thanx a lot

I have a card that keeps dropping from windows 7 - well stops being recognized, yours sounds worse than that but I simply plug it into another slot and it shows up again after a second reboot. I have a feeling the card is about to die but I'll keep switching it until it does. just a thought

Had the same issue, its mostlikely dead, try it in another rig and if it still not working its most likely dead,
When you will try in the other rig, make sure its not on a riser, has to be on the MB slot.

Interesting fact: after modification timings Gigabyte HD7950 gives stable ~330H/s with 1% rejected. (1190/1470) - Pic 1

If increase mem frequency up to 1500, GPU gives ~361 H/s. But about 15% of rejected. In log file appears strings of buffer overflow. - Pic 2

What does this buffer overflow mean ? Obviously, hashrate indexes is not very accurate ?

No it doesn't. There is no way that a 7950 gives you that higher hash rate than a 280x AND a 7970..

Yes its possible with that crazy high engine core clock rate.

I seriously doubt it. Clock rate isn't going to magically disregard the narrow memory bandwidth, and make it run 100 h/s over a 7970.

What is a typical h/s rate for a single 7950 card?

240-250 h/s

Because that is about all you get by what you have done.  Did you make a special bios for each card?  Or are you using a mod'd bios that is stable and works on all your cards?  If so, can you share it?  I have played with the 24 Sapphire rx 480 8g cards I have for days, and they seem to be very touchy with any change to voltages.  I have done what you did using WattTool and got the same results.  If you want to increase your hash rate without raising your power consumption by much, increase your mem clock speed from 2000 Mhz t0 2200 Mhz (some will run there, some will need to be backed down a bit, every card is different) and you should get up to around 275 H/s per card. 

Now a question for those that know how to use WattTool and are experts at undervolting.  I have lowered the last two straps on the GPU mem to match the 5th strap and I was able to lower the power consumption for a 6 card rig by 130W down to about 1100W and sustain a total production rate of 1650 H/s by raising the mem clock speed to 2150 Mhz.  What other tricks are there to lower power consumption and still remain stable?  I don't really know what the other tricks are to getting my power down using this tool.  I can lower the mem voltage by 50 mV on most of my cards but I don't see much reduction in power consumption, however I do so an increase in errors and cards dropping off in the "Open CL" hang up.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Swiped,
I made a custom BIOS, all card are unique and wont take the same settings, unless you are very very lucky.
Most of them are mclock around 2130 for stability issues and power consumption.
I also reduce the voltage around 35 to 45, depending on the card.
Takes awhile to get the system stable, so you do it once card at a time.
PM me for more details
