Thanks! Im gonna use mvddc and cvddc in Claymore miner.. I´ve already set both to 900 and its working fine. Thinking about lowering it to 875. Should I go for both @ 875 or just -mvddc? I heard that changing one (I dont know which one it was) of them can be dangerous in terms of damaging the gpu...

no problems, no risk of damage.

You can do both, I don't know how it could damage anything.
If it's too little voltage, miner will crash.
If that happens, just increase voltage a bit until you find a voltage where it runs stable.

Hey guys,

do you have any tipps which settings I could put into my Claymore Miner in order to reduce power cost?
For example reducing mvddc or cvddc? What would be a good setting for a 6x Sapphire 580 Nitro+ Rig?

Hi,
I am using both mvddc and cvddc in Claymore miner.
You should try -mvddc 900 -cvddc 900.
Let it run for a while, and if it's stable, then you can try lowering voltage, e.g. 875, until you find best settings.
You can also underclock each gpu seperate, e.g. -mvddc 900,880,910... -cvddc 875,890,910...
It doesn't mean that all gpu's are gonna run on same settings, even though it's the same brand and model.
I found this tutorial, it maybe helps you https://steemit.com/ethereummining/@nesahayward/eth-ethereum-mining-with-rx-580-8g-8gb-claymore-settings

You can also try OverdriveNtool for overclocking and undervolting.

I know, that you can do that using downvolt settings
But You can do that not at the miner settings, and at MSI afterburner.
