These rates are ok for samsung memory. The clocks are good to. Maybe cclock is a little to low. Did you put in some custom memory straps? Or a BIOS mod?

I bought some rx580 graphic cards from China for 120$ each and I successfully build my first rig, thanks to YouTube video it's not that hard like I've imagined, after placing the order my mind is plagued with thoughts of messing things up

https://i.imgur.com/dRvhrPN.jpeg

The only issue I am having now is the hashrate number, I am getting 27MH from the graphic cards each and a friend rx580 rig is getting 31MH, any ideas of what I can do next? I am running HiveOS.


I like the rig it will cool well. How are the temps? Do you stay at a good number for the cards.

What is the psu?

Could you screen shot hiveOS so we can see readout.

Can you show the mobo and psu.

Lastly how are you cooling room 8 cards are close to 1200 watts the room must be pretty warm.
1) My Temp never exceed 60°C in a very hot weather, I placed the mining rig very close to my window and there are trees in my compound with cool breeze doing it's thing. I have also managed to get 29MH+ after few trials.

2) I am using a B250 motherboard and a Daylead 1600 watt PSU

The temp isn't bad at all as there is good breeze in my compound, it do seize here and there but it helps and I make sure the rig is set close to window, no problem so far.

Why did I feel like 120$ per 580 is still high? Am I getting more greedy this days or just the right feeling? A rx580 gpu should be bought at 100$ or less, anything over 100$ is high but you did a great job building this rig yourself.

Congratulations on your first rig build as it looks like a great one!  You seem to have gotten a good deal on the hardware and got it running, so you're off to a great start.  I hope this sparks something in you to keep going.  If you can make it through the downturn as a miner, you will certainly emerge stronger on the other side.  Good luck with maintaining the heat!

Yes it varies per card. Some cards are worse memory and some GPUs have a worse ASIC quality % and they can't clock as high. You can try and force it to 31MH/s however you will run into hardware errors and it'll keep freezing on you. Eventually it'll freeze in the middle of the night and you will lose all profits on 8 GPUs just because you overclocked it too much.

Good quality looking rig, reminds me of my old RX 570 rigs. Those were the fun days.

Show your settings in Hive OS.
27 megahash is not a bad result for a beginner, because some of my rx580 video cards had problems with overclocking after 27 megahash, and the mining farm crashed.
You can try to flash the BIOS by changing some timings. There is a lot of information about this on YouTube or use the miner settings to increase the hashrate.

I remember my first rig, it was a frankestein rig hahaha, your rig is well organized.
I think you paid a reasonable price

About the hashrate, don't take too seriously about 31mhs or even 30mhs because it's not guaranteed to achieve.
Every card has their own hashrate, memory type, chiplet, brand, overclock...everything will influence the result.
But it's your first rig and you will probably refine your overclock with time, just watch some youtube videos, try little by little to increase clock, adjust the voltage and I'm sure you can extract the maximum of your cards.
If you have more questions about overclock you can ask here.

It all depends on your memory type. I have 140+ RX580 running right now. The micron are the best with 33,5MH. SK Hynix and Samsung are between 30 - 32MH. i don't have Elpida.
Check your memory straps. You can try using amdmemtweak --REF 20 in the advanced config box, try 20 or 30. Some cards accept up to 240. wich will increase your hashes significantly.
You can also play with the core and memory state to lower your power consumption a bit.

I have Hynix rx580 that give me 25MH out of the box but little OC brings me up to 30MH you should try lifting the mem clock a bit by bit to get 29MH or 30MH.

Not much you can do,it depends on the memory they have the cards,there are four types for this cards,Samsung which is the best and does easily that 31 Mhsh,than there is Micron,Elpida and Hynix which can or cannot do that,the most stubborn one is Hynix which is well known to not respond as better as Samsung memory to the overclocking and under-volt that we do.

In Windows you can see which type of memory you have by installing GPU-Z,of course Linux has its counterpart which is easily searched in google.I believe you to have the Hynix memory or not the best overclock and under-volt,check the most well known flight sheet that is widely used for your cards in HiveOS and use one of them,from the community I mean.
