For anyone with Radeon 7950 / 7970 / 280X who wants more juice out of ZEC mining you can adjust your timings.

Mine went from 43 Sol/s --->  52 Sol/s. Running at 1100 / 1575

THIS IS ONLY FOR HYNIX MEMORY H5GQ2H24MFR . I will post Elpida and Samsung memory types later.



Thanks for sharing . Plz share info for Elpida memory 280xs as it appier. Ive got some of them.

I've modded some Elpida 280x before but I can't find them. If you search this forum, a few months ago someone made some optimized bioses for 380x and he posted the memory straps for the Elpida's. They are somewhere there.

my 280x hynix memory is H5GQ2H24AFR


how to identify memory code?  i have 3 sapphire 280x toxic with hynix memory

Looks like right now if you have any RX 470/480

ETC PROFITABILITY = ZEC PROFITABILITY


Still more profitable to mine ZEC on 280x however.

Going by Nicehash and Whattomine data

When I use a "config.txt" the gpu clock speeds do not show up on miner when it starts  does anyone else see this ?

gpu-z only shows draw from pcie, which I think for newer cards is mostly memory related

Even so, If I'm getting 35 sols drawing 40w and someone else is getting 50 sols drawing 100w how can that be irrelevant?

You do the math  Grin

PS: I pay for my electric bill!

It's not completely irrelevant. But you absolutely CANNOT accurately use GPUz power draw to compare different cards because they all have different power characteristics. It's only good for doing apples to apples comparisons.

For example, mining Ethereum, I have RX480s that say 70~75w in  GPUz but this relates to more like 120w from the wall. So a 50w difference.

But my 290x, say around 130w in GPUz, but 200w from the wall, that's a 70w difference.

Basically, you have almost no way of telling actual power draw from the wall with GPUz, it's just a guessing game. And power draw from the wall is what actually counts.

And why do you need 2 x 850w PSU to power 6 x RX480? Even mining Ethereum at 180mh/s my 6 x RX480 only pull 810w, from the wall. You certainly don't need it for ZCash, I'm not even pulling 600w from the wall.

Really 600w for 6 480s, thats crazy.....Would 470s be slightly lower?

Not necessarily, but I'd have thought 470 should pull a little less. It all depends on the voltage you supply the GPU.

can you share some details please?



Simply put, do what you can, use a BIOS mod, MSI AB or Wattman to drop GPU voltage as low as it'll go and remain stable. I find for mining Eth and ZCash I can drop GPU core voltage as low as 0.88v and still remain stable with 1125/2150 clock speeds. This gives 29.7mh/s in Eth and around 46~52 h/s for ZCash

Will give it a go, thank you.

IF anyone has any Cayman GPUs (6970,6990) you can mine with them on Claymore ETH miner however you need to start mining with another GPU that has at least has 3GB and then disable that GPU once mining starts. Since we can't use Cayman for ZEC currently.

Ok, I agree with you. I know it's not an accurate measurement. But it's a good indicator to compare different settings for the same cards.

The two 850 PSUs were a vital component when my rigs were a mix of 270x + 7850 +7970

Now they are quiet and cold...

But you are not getting 35 s/s from 40w, get a killawatt and you will see your card pull atleast double that from the wall.
Sure, you pay your own electric bill but dont fool people with completely wrong numbers.

I'm not trying to fool anyone! Just sharing my results and settings like so many others have done, ok?
Sure you can share what you want but expect people to point out when the numbers are wrong.

Basically you need to backup your BIOS ROM file with Atiwinflash and open with a HexEditor.

Here is the original bios strap for a Reference Radeon 7950.

Basically what this does is updates the higher memory frequencies with tighter straps.  For more info visit:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1554360/tahiti-memory-timings-patch-for-hynix-vram

This also makes ETH mining faster but only by 0.5MH/s but makes a huge difference with ZEC.

Hey bro, your settings are awesome....I cant hardly hear the gpus which is great but Im down around 10sol/s....How can I beef it up a little? core or mem speed?

Thanks

Honestly, for ZEC I don't know.

It took long hours of testing to reach this settings. They also work well for ETH.

Thanks for your help
