32MH/s is the limit however I never ran any of my GPUs at that speed because they required a reboot from time to time. If you are home all day its not an issue however they would eventually start to get hardware errors and either needed Claymore restarted or the entire OS.

Hence I just dialed down the clock a little and it was much stable and would mine for days without issues. You won't burn the card or anything. Mining uses less power than actual gaming. The worst is that you will just get a hang and it will be stuck until you manually restart the rig and configure the clocks again.

However 45MHs or so is just not possible with ETH, not even for 1 minute. 34MH/s I also dont think its possible to do long term, most likely it will run very unstable at that rate.

thanks hustleman.  I've been in IT for a number of years, but overclocking has always a little weird for me.  So taking me out of the comfort zone and learning about it all and wrapping my head around my limitations has been interesting these past few weeks.

And thanks, I'm glad to also understand where I sit with my GPU and mhs

and as for the GPU it's a version behind that.  I have the Radeon RX 570 Armor 8G, not the RX 580 Armor MK2 you're thinking of.

Right on.  I had both of MSI armors and MK2... My armors would only hash 31.xx mhs stable and the MK2 I would get 32.6 stable.  So figured you had the MK2 version.   But thats awesome you were able to get 32.xx out of the Armors.

32.xxmhs is really the limit of that card.  There is a prophet on this message board that posted he can obtain 34mhs "stable" with a 580 8gb but never showed proof, only showed the card hashing for 1 minute... which doesn't show longevity/stability.  Anyways you have reached the stable limit of those 570s.  So let them do their job in peace and leave them alone.  If I had to guess you have the MSI MK2 series?

New to mining and wondering how I understand what my limit is.

I have (12) MSI/AMD rx570 8GB cards

When I first started I was around 9mhs/card.  After some help and a little tweaking I've got it running at 32mhs/card and mine about 0.05eth a day.

What I'm curious is, is that the top for that card?  Is 32mhs great? or should I be attempting 45mhs.  Obviously don't want to burn out a card and now that it's stable I'm ok to leave it for now.  Not sure if there's something simple like a chart to say you use this card and you should expect 'X'mhs. 

Just trying to gauge what my limits are
