Hi everyone, I am mining eth solo with claymore 7.1 and I have OC my RX480 8 gb today.
Everything about the software looks fine, but I was wondering:
1) can I exit the test mode on win10 without causing any crash and how? (which command?)
2) what are the best settings in wattman to make sure that the cards have the lowest consumption possible and that they run as much stable as possible around the 31mh/s? Core, memory, fan, and temp? (at the moment they are varying between <24 and >30, which seems quite a lot)
this is the procedure I have followed to enable the test mode:
i) Press Windows Key + X to open Power User Menu. Select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
ii) Once the Command Prompt open, enter bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and press Enter. Then enter bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON and press Enter.
iii) Close Command Prompt and restart your PC.
and this is the mod. rom:

Test mode? No man, just use new drivers 16.9.1 to 16.10.2 - all are good and no need for test mode. Where were you past months?
Lol, I am relatively new to the all mining thing, so you mean, once I flashed the cards, I can just install one of the new drivers and exit the test mode now?
Or once I have complete flashing them (which I have) can I just exit the test mode anyway, using bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF, or can something wrong happen if I exit the test mode now that I have flashed the cards?
I am currently using crimson 16.7.3 minimal package because they appeared to be very stable.
What do you suggest? Thanks very much man
For the new drivers, there will be no signature verification. So you do not need to use the test mode anymore.
Just wipe old drivers ( uninstall,restart, than delete ATI folder), install new drivers, flash bioses and - go...
(get bioses with moded memory timings for your cards or mod yours with Polaris bios editor )
Should I exit the test mode before or after installing the new drivers?
In your experience which one is the most stable (new) driver for OC RX480?
Do I have to flash the cards again once I have installed the new drivers?
I have Polaris BIOS editor, but I have no idea of what memory timings would be good for me...do you know which config. is the best to eth solo mining?
Also I have copied in the drivers folder a modified Atikmdag.sys driver, should I delete it before going ahead with this new editing?
Sorry for the many questions, I am still learning, thank you very much for your help
