Still trying to push my cards to the limit, one of my 2gb hynix rx560 really lucked out in the silicon lottery, now got it doing ~537 H/s stable @1292/2175 mhz
To hold this speed it needed a power limit increase to +35%, at 30% it would fluctuate and sometimes drop to 521 H/s.
Great cryptonight miner this little beast  Grin
Wish AMD didn't suck at equihash, would have more viable coins to mine now.

You should ask yourself if pushing extra ~25% watts in the gpu's is worth the 10% extra hashrate, or maybe you dont have to pay for your electric, then its different ofcourse.

I tried to run all my rx550's at 900mV, but i got early crash, trying 975mV now.

Just did some more extensive testing of every single mhz on the card and I get the most consistent hash at 1292/2166 mhz.
It does 534 H/s with no fluctuation at all. Going higher than 2166 on the mem is not worth it, it goes as high as 545 H/s but always fluctuates to a low of 514 H/s.
My msi rx560 card does not require additional power connector. Draws ~50W, stock cooler on msi is big and does nice job, temp is 65C max (not horrible as I live in South Florida) and the mem gets plenty of airflow from shroud design.
Got the card in January for 119 usd, best value I ever got from gpu.

Found the ceiling on hash rate, next is working on reducing power usage, will test with lower core clocks.



2166 memory is pretty crazy, i run my hynix at 1900 and my elpida's at 1850.
that 50 watts, is  that from gpu-z reading? because if so, thats a lot, the rx550's only do 20 watts on gpu-z.

This is making me nuts, i keep getting this stupid error:

ATIKMPAG.SYS FAILURE.

sometimes i have to reboot my rig 3 times b4 i can get into the amd settings again, i tried different drivers, tried stuff i found on google regarding this issue, its so annoying.
Try signing out and then signing in instead of rebooting. Might work this way.

I tried to run all my rx550's at 900mV, but i got early crash, trying 975mV now.
I'm running all my 550s and 560s at 0.875V, all 550s at 1150-1200 MHz and 560s at 1100 MHz. Didn't really test the core clocks thoroughly cause they don't seem to matter all that much for cryptonight (and don't matter at all for ETH). I wouldn't run any of these cards at voltages higher than 0.9V, their coolers are very bad and there's always a chance that there are some elements on the board that are 100°+. Memory chips aren't cooled at all on most of these, solid gpu rads just cover them (without touching obviously) and no air from the fan(s) makes it to the vram, so these chips could degrade pretty fast.

I tried running at 900mV but it crashes inmidiatly for me, have to try to find out wich ogpu is cuasing the crash,

I just orderd asus rx550 2gb, hope its not micron memory, all the msi rx550 2gb aero's are sold out or way overpriced ( 130 euro)

Yeah, I also got a few RX 550 Aero, and they all came with Hynix. Doing about 460-500 H/s with them, didn't have enough time to figure out the best settings/timings, all this amd stuff is weird, especially sgminer settings. RI 400 (or even up to 420) works with most cards, but then there's one card that would crash sgminer 5.5.5 on start. Yet it works fine with the nicehash sgminer (but the hashrate is a bit lower in that one).

Although I got sgminer-gm 5.5.5 to hash nearly as well as xmr-stak 2.2.0, I also experienced a lot of crashes. Once I figured out how to double the threads in xmr-stak (thanks to this thread), and dialed in the other settings, I got it to perform even better than sgminer and haven't looked back since. One weird thing is that the 1st and 4th cards hash at >500 H/s while the 2nd and 3rd are stubbornly stuck at 440 & 460 H/s, and all have Elpida memory. Even weirder is that when I switch over to Ethash in Claymore 11.2 it is the 1st and 2nd cards that perform better, at 14 MH/s, while the 3rd and 4th do 13 MH/s... I tell ya, AMD cards are f'ed up


P.S. - thanks for the merit in the Intensecoin thread!


Ya, sgminer kept crashing for me too, couldnt run it more then 6 hours without a crash, xrmstak works much better for me, altho i didnt got it to run over 24 hours without a crash yet, still a work in progress.

Ya, i think i am using your hynix timings, works well, now i feel like i also should get rid of the 550's with elpida ( got rid of micron) But the elpida's are pretty close to the hynix ones so ill let them be, since it seems like people here are hoarding on the rx550's, they are all sold out, feelsbadman.

I thought my aero 550's would be elpida cos i saw one guy in a youtube video with these cards, his were elpida.

Hi,

I also bought a few msi rx550 2gb aeros, and i saw a video on youtube for elpida timings for my gigabyte rx550's, and that guy used the msi 2 gb aeros, he had elpida on them, so i assumed mine would be elpida too, but  they are hynix.
Not that it matters a whole bunch, the elpida's also do 470 h/s, but yah, they hynix seems to be a little faster xD.
Now im wondering if all 4 of my msi's 550's have hynix, or will some have elpida too, i will know in a few hours im bios modding them atm.

This is crazy my msi 2gb hynix card is a lot better than I thought. Doing ~505h/s stable, never thought card could reach this.
Changes were decrease of intensity from 432 to 424 per gpu thread as I mentioned above, +30% power limit, oc to 2050 mhz memory, core clock was left at 1292 mhz
Amazing what a small tweak can accomplish.

Did some experimenting with the intensity in xmr-stak today. My rx560 cards have 2gb hynix.
Copied a popular config and I always had it on the recommended 432 intensity in 2 gpu threads.
Anything over 432 is unstable. Tried 416 but it decreases hash rate a bit. Tried 424 and it seems to be the sweet spot for my cards. Has the same max hash rate as 432 with less fluctuation, plus it allowed much higher OC.
Pushed my average from 460h/s to 474h/s. May be able to get higher but might have to increase power limit.
Looks like some cards do prefer a slightly lower intensity than the recommended.

Does Hynix suck for overclocking?
My pbe one click modded hynix starts getting unstable in windows benchmarks at only 1865 mhz
When in was unmodded it could overclock over 2000 mhz, is it normal to have a lower oc ceiling when timings are modded?

Most BIOS mods tighten the read/write timings of the VRAM and, yes, this does tend to lower the maximum stable clock frequency, but this is usually a good tradeoff to make as far as mining performance goes.



Cool, thanks for clarifying bro.
My hynixes are doing 460h/s each, not the worse though, my friend's microns only do 440h/s. Wish I had elpidas.
Mining the new TRIT coin now.

My hynix rx460 does 490 h/s, my elpida rx550's do about 470 h/s, microns worst, 420 hash ( rx550)

i cant get  a 5th GPU added to my  ASROCK Z77 EXTREME 9.
I tried all different combinations of slots, put bios settinngs on GEN1, GEN2, GEN3, didnt  solve it either.
it looks like it can only see GPU'S that i put in slot 1,4,5 and 6. Slot 2,3 and 7 don't work.
I know the board can do 6 gpu's because i found an older topic on bittalk regarding this board, and he got it fixed with 6 gpu's, but his fix was enabling GEN2 in the bios, wich i did too, but still cant get 5th gpu to work.
I think i do  see it in device manager, with an error code 31, i tried installing drivers in device manager, it looked like it installed them, screen flashed to black screen for a split second and came  back, so i had my hopes up it had of worked, but it didn't.
I also turned off all onboard devices, like usb 3.0 controller, onboard wifi, audio, everything.
i am using windows 10 and amd drivers 18.2.2 and rx550 gpu's.
Ive been struggling with this for the past 2 days and im really at a point where i've used all the inspiration i got from stuff i found on google regarding this topic, today 2 more rx550's arrived so theres now 3 gpu's doing nothing, i dont know what else to think of how to get this workin.

fixed it by using a 1pci-e---->4pci-e extender bord
