Since you didn't bother describing your config I'm going to assume that you've got AMD Polaris cards. If that's the case, then my guess is that the voltages you set in the BIOS aren't getting applied in SMOS. I don't think I've ever had a Polaris card that just worked the way I wanted by simply editing all the clocks and voltages in the BIOS. Yes, they do get saved there, but if I don't use some kind of extra software to control the clocks and voltages from the OS, the cards don't use the voltage from the BIOS anyway. They do run at the clocks set in BIOS, but the voltages still default to the stock values. So I have to use something like OverdriveNTool and set lower voltages with it.

If you're mining ETH with Claymore's miner, then you could probably control the voltages and clocks with it by setting -cclock, -mclock, -cvddc and -mvddc.

I have rx 570 cards many of them, all my set clocks and voltages working without any software in windows i just need to setup my wallet in claymore and thats all, it works on windows with 180mhs and 755 watt without a problem.. Ive tryed HiveOS, simpleOS, ethOS they all worked same 165 mhs and 950watt+ doesnt matter if i set voltages or clock in their settings all work same... Sad

I also tryed to use this https://github.com/matszpk/amdcovc and nothing helped clocks can be set but not voltage ;(

So installed that hiveOS and its same it does even mine with 20 mhs on all 6 cards and uses 1100watt i found the configuration edited, restarted miner nothing happened restarted pc nothing happened ;( checked videos did same and nothing =(

try using hiveos its better maybe clock that you're setting doesn't get applied in simple miner.
here https://hiveos.farm

Yeah I tho first that way, but clock are set in bios file also they are default for everything.

Okey never heard of that one, my ESET Security blocking the address, strange.. Thanks !

The harder your life is the more meaning it has.

Hello everyone, im trying to move to the linux but I noticed it uses a lot of wattage. On Win10 my rig uses 750 Watt on SMOS 900 Watt, why?

What I have done so far and it didnt helped.

1. Reduced GPU and Memory mV in BIOS (mW) from 1000 mV to 800 mV
2. Reduced Max Power Limit (W) from 148 Watt to 120 Watt same as TDP(W) now 120 Watt
3. Reduced Power Control Limit (%) from 50% to 0%

Nothing of above helped me to reduce Wattage.

I also used Overclock Settings by SMOS also like Powerstage tryed all of them didnt helped much.

Any ideas or tutorials or software how to do it on windows?

All this settings working on windows without any errors in HWINFO64 (GPU Memory Error).

Help!
