Hi everyone!

Please help me with advise. Will it be enough to put 1000W PSU ( Chieftec APS-1000CB ) on 5*RX 470 4B with AMD FX-4330 CPU + 1 SSD ?

People say that this GPUs can draw up to 200W on some peak consumption. If it is so , then PSU is not enough for that RIG ?

At 5 x 150w + 95W + peripheral you should be fine. That said, I'd personally prob go for a 1200w PSU since the price diff isn't huge between 1000w->1200w

Can someone tell me the Max power draw for a stock Rx 480 4GB? Trying to figure out a PSU for a 6 x 480 rig.
Use nominal values from datasheet for this purpose (=150 W) and add proper headroom for overclock, spikes and working point at good efficiency.

So a gold rated 1200W PSU for 6 x 480 + MB with Celeron-CPU and risers/SATA should be just fine in other words. Even without undervolting.

It is better to make farm with a reserve power supply for future algorithms, which can be more demanding. This is usually done so, it is considered necessary power of consumers and mount a 20% of the stock. 6 cards x 150 = 900 + 100 (system)=1000 + 20%= 1200W will be good.

Ok, going for EVGA G2 1300W to be safe. Should set my mind to rest.

The 1300G2 is an amazing PSU but it only has 6 6+2 pin connectors and 2 6 pin connectors, if I remember correctly.


Correct (I have 20 of them). There are 6 PCI cables. All 6 have a 6+2 pin connector, 2 of those 6 *also* have another 6 pin connector.

I have an 850 G3 and 1000 G3 coming in on Thursday. I can report back on my experience pushing furys. You may be able to find a deal on 2 850s for close to the same price as a 1300 G2. Or pick up vga splitters.

Doesn't matter in my case since the 480s only require a single 8-pin (or 6+2)

Hello everybody
I just recently launched myself in zcash mining and I currently have a RIG with the following hardware:
 - 6 rx480 nitro oc 8gb from sapphire
- 1 mother card asrock b85 anniversary
- 1 psu Corsair CP-9020094-EU RMX Series RM1000X
- 1 ssd 120 go
- 1 2 + 1 gb ddr3 1333 (awaiting change for 8gb)

For now the bios of each graphics card is as follows: Anoraks_Sapphire RX480 8GB Samsung Rev53_original.rom (https://anorak.tech/uploads/default/original/1X/eab04521348d2a51fb89e0a1e634b038bed1e76c.rom)

After several tests and taking control of the tool Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v11.1, I have heated my settings of each graphics card (using trixx utility) to arrive at the final consumption at output of RIG at 780 watts with a total hashrate of ~ 1450 H / s. My total power limit is -50% and the gpu voltage is set to negative according to each graphics card according to the stability tests I have performed.
My question is the following :
Considering the time spent adjusting the parameters of the rx480 individually on trixx utillity and config.txt of claymore zcash miner, is there any software that could allow to combine incremental tests on the different possible settings of the graphics cards with the claymore tool And in combination with the maximum of automatically selected profotability?

. A kind of software that would do all this in an automatic and controlled manner (a kind of nice mining evolved)
If this software does not exist, you will be motivated to start this project.
I think that this will have a great interest for many people and will thus save a lot of time on the settings therefore of the stability system but also on the money earned.
I do not have much knowledge in programming language but I am ready to participate actively in the project.
What do you think ?

Thanks to you for the many informations that help me to start my first RIG.


What do you want the software to change? You want it to dynamically change the clockspeeds based on profitability? i dont think you want that. You always want cards to run as efficient as possible unless you dont have to pay for the power bill.

There is software that will switch mining algorithms based on profitability (like Nicehash). But you will still have to finetune the cards yourself. Every card is different. One card can do 1250 MHz on 1.0v a second one will do 1325 and a other card only 1175. AMD already does some voltage binning based on chip quality's

I have 480's with 1,075v stock and also cards with 1,106 and 1,150v.
It is precisely on this refining of the settings of each different graphics card that the tool could have a utility. It will make it possible, for example, to test, for each card, optimized settings with a tolerance greater or less for their stability and all this automatically with backup of the logs.

What are your clockspeeds? maybe the card is throtteling (check with GPU-Z)
You can also try higher core and memory clocks to get 260-270. With a bios mod with strapped timings / stilt timings you can get 280-290 maybe a bit more. But then you need to use older drivers.

Here's my GPU-Z
What is your suggested setup..

Thanks

AMD Crimson 17.1.1 can make a change for Polaris cards ? (In the next version CZM v12??)

Dont think so. Does not seem to be a very special driver. Just some bug fixes compared to 16.12.2 (game related + relive related)

Same for me 260-265 H/s stock no bios mod

Guys. how much H/s you get with your RX 480 8GB?

Latest version give me 260 H/s. Bios not modded.

That's the same H/s for my RX480s.

For ref. RX470 4GB, stock bios, -i 6, CZM 11.1, I got ~232-240H/s.

Sapphire Nitro R9 390


That's a realy nice number for a R9 390, always thought 390's are closer to 300sol/s than 400.

Quote from: fredeq

You are correct with the around 50% sweet spot, but the difference in the efficiency is so negligible that I wouldnt bother with it.
Personally I am fine with 90% load of the PSU.
You also need to remember that 1000 is the wattage PSU can dish out to PC, so 90% load will register as around 990W at the wall.

Every PSU with a certificate should be browseable on this site: (I am actually amazed how this site is not common-knowledge by now)
https://www.plugloadsolutions.com/80PlusPowerSuppliesDetail.aspx?id=25&type=2
This link will take you to corsair PSUs.

Now lets take a look at RM1000i efficiency curve: https://plugloadsolutions.com/psu_reports/CORSAIR_RPS0010%20(CP-9020084)%20(RM1000I)_1000W_ECOS%204336_Report.pdf



As you can see it stays pretty much constant.


Thanks for the site, I also did not know it yet!

But I would not say negligible.
For example: running a PSU at 88% efficiency instead of 94% sounds (and looks on a 0-100% diagram) not much different, but produces DOUBLE the losses and heat! Many people oversee that fact. You can also see similar on the input/output diagram on the left if you compare the values of 50% and 80%.
If it justifies the price difference for the larger PSU is another, individual story. That's why I personally don't like such monstrous single bricks. For the given case I for myself would select 2x 750-850W PSUs depending on the current market.

But we are too OT now. ;-)
