Epoch 95 will be the last DAG 2GB cards can mine, I believe the current DAG is 35 for Music not sure what Expanse is currently at

My Asus RoG cards have one fan each and no addition power connector.

Are your 560's factory overclocks with increased voltage? sounds like it if they have dual fans and a power connector

Try lowering memory voltage to 850mV, memory actually spends lots of power on low end cards, and can cause problems
in cards with no power connector

I will try 850 this evening see what I get.

I just had sort of an epiphany. I am mining Expanse and music coin currently with very low DAG's mid 30's (I am mining these as Block Chain official + Claymore doesnt work in windows 7 and all my rigs have windows 7) Also these coins currently are more profitable.  Anyways I thought I would check online to see what 2GB 560's cost as those would work with these coins for close to another year. 4GB 560's here cost me close to $170cdn($145usd) However I can pick up @GB 560's OC'd daul fan models for $135cdn(108usd) and mine Music or Expanse, the ROI on them should be half decent if the value of these coins holds up. I am not sure what to do here. I would prefer 570s and 580s but the are super hard to come by and cost way to much now.


I'm even planing to check how rx550 2GBs work with ecpanse (mining that instead ETH, too)...only problem I live in small town in 3rd world country so even those are hard to find at decent prices

Bad straps? I have same card, Gigabyte with 2 fans and additional power connector, two are micron, two are hynix.

Gigabyte is cheating and put 6GHz memory factory overclocked to 7GHz on hynix based cards,
 while Micron ones got real 7GHz parts, hence better OC and hashing

I have tried the 1750 copy method for Micron
Factory Straps
and the one click optimal in polaris 1.6
Result if I clock 2000+ is the same a driver crash

My Asus RoG cards have one fan each and no addition power connector.


Gigabyte micron (disregard gpu speed and power consumption, this was just chasing the record Smiley ):

hi ı need help.ı have a gigabyte rx560 4gb hynix card.I modded the cards. but when you run it with Afterburner the computer turns off or error the global wattman. timing 1500> 2250. afterburner o.c. gpu: 1200; memory 1850; core voltage: -15
 what I do wrong. eth 12,500 mh/s. and it's not stable. I did not find a timig mode. please help me.

Try that editor that summersideguy recommended
thank you for helping. ı do this program.ı am happy Smiley

Also note, I would forget about AB for clock settings and voltage settings. use the command line options that come with claymore. I find if I use AB that once in a while it gets all screwed up and puts my memory clock a lot higher then it should be and crashes my system, but if I use the -cclock -mclock settings in Claymore they were ok no weird glitches. My settings for my 560's with microm memory are as follows   -cclock 1175 -mclock 1950 -cvddc 900 -mvddc 950

If my 560's had hynix memory I would go with 2050 for memory clocks but they have micron which is not as good as Hynix.  I am getting 13.3-13.5 per card  Ethash and 30-33 Lbr


Funny, my micron is ticking happily at 2240MHz and 15.8MH/s

I have 4 Asus Rog 560 4GB cards with micron, if I set any of them to 2000+ after a few minutes they crash the Radeon drivers then the system
I regret getting them, they were cheap and easily available at $160cdn. But My 570's and 580's perform so much better just hard to come by these days.

Also note I have tried leaving memory voltage at defaults and reducing with clocks at 2000 or higher and still get the same result, a crashed driver in the end

Some cards are just better then others even those of the same brand, it can be the luck of the draw. 3 of my 560s do 13.4 - 13.6 while the 4th with the same settings only get 12.9

I would like to mention I am currently not mining Ethereum as I dont feel like upgrading my rigs to windows 10 and the block chain driver + Claymore do not work under windows 7. So for me it was easier to mine Ethash coin that was on a lower DAG like Musicoin or Expanse.

For anyone asking for timing or Bios mods etc. There is a new version of Polaris Bios Editor out 1.64 which auto detects your cards memory and with the click of one button applies the optimal timings for that memory type.



It works, but "optimal"?

no Smiley

You could stick with the "Copy 1500 timings" advice if you want. The timings here are a lot better and it makes it a lot easier for those who are not sure what to do, and they dont have to worry about someone coming along asking for 0.1 eth to tune their card for them or give them a modded bios for a price.

I actually tried it for a few cards and got just copied straps, hence my comment...however, if for some cards and/or memory types it works
better than just copy/paste straps, I stand corrected

Thank you SummersideGuy,

Gonna try out immediately!

NP

here is the link, I had to go through some posts from a few days ago to track it down. I used it on my 570's 580's and 560's it gained me  between 0.2 - 0.5mhs on average per card over just coping timings from other memory clocks. I found it more stable for my 560's also
