At the moment I have a rig with a mix of Nitro+ RX570, RX580, 4GB and 8GB cards. Currently running at stock settings on EthOS.
I'd like to get the hash rates up a bit and power consumption down a bit. Do I need to mod the BIOS on the cards or can all the adjustments be made in SMOS?
Thank you for any suggestions!
Maybe my question about optimizing cards for lower power and higher hash on Simple Mining is too simple or obvious for experienced users?
I've watched many videos of people swapping timing straps that appear to not really know what they are doing. Then there are the long lengthy forum threads from true GPU mining geeks who clearly know what they're doing and have a high level of knowledge on the subject but these are very difficult to follow as a nube.
So just to get my rigs up and running quickly I'm using stock settings with ethOS which has many options that can be tweaked in the config file. I also see SimpleMiningOS has a nice control panel which seems to have all the same options if not more.
So my question is: To get optimal hash/electricity ratios can I simply tweak the settings in SimpleMiningOS alone or do I need to flash optimal mining timings and settings to the BIOS first and then further tweak them in SimpleMiningOS?
