    @listman and @mayhemvlad - Are you guys saying that my 17.2.1 drivers are holding be back from the extra 2.5 hash mayhemvlad is getting? :( Isn't 16.6 what win10 installs by default?

    This is 5x 480 Gaming X 4GB running at 750 at the wall( 4 hynix, 2 samsung


    This is 3x Armor OC 4GB (waiting on a new board for the other 3) 540w at the wall (1 micron, 5 hynix)


    Any tips to get this up a tad? Hints work just as long as I dont brick the SOB. ;)

    Just to mention, i dont do dcr mining so i cant guarantee that you will get stable figures.

    Only ETH.

    Thanks,

    I want to thank Eonezzz for working on my two systems with XFX RADEON RX 480 8GB Custom Tuned OC Graphics Card w/ Backplate (RX480M8BFA6).

    He was able to get me going from 21-22 to 28-29 at a considerable power savings as well. I appreciate all the work and patience even with a little bit of driver / riser issues.

    If anyone needs someone with expertise in modding their cards for ETH; Eonezzz is the one!

    @Wolf0 yup, I was looking at the google doc for the register values: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WKZDKJlBvmRXwIKE5P-Shzu4iJ6YpuLRqYJr00gdeR0
    and realized that...

    Anyway, any changes to 8E seem to have no impact whatsoever to the card, even power usage is the same. So I'm guessing it's either hooked up to nothing(or more likely, something else), or something's limiting it. I was considering messing with the other ones (0x93/0x94 mainly) but now I'm away and can't boot windows to check for mem errors anyway sooooo yup.

    It's pretty odd.. my stock bios had none of these values at all until I added them. I'll dig around of the bioses of other cards and see what registers/values are (somewhat)safe to add, but it might be a crapshoot since they could be connected to different things on different cards ><.

    I still hate my shit hynix w/its 1900 clocks though. </p>

    No, more than likely it's not an IR3XXX compatible. I'd have to either look at the VBIOS or poke the card to be sure.

    I'm thanking Eonezzz for working on my 5 msi gaming x 4gb. I was having lots of trouble trying to mod it myself from guides. Legit service, he bumped my cards up to 28.5-29, they were at 22 before he worked on them.
  • Nigdean456Nigdean456 Member Posts: 5
    Eonezzz please contact me and get the cards stable

    seriously curious, at 28-29 what is your power usage for your rig. I can run for weeks at 27.7, no stability problems and a lot less power than trying to run at even 28.5, I have a 4 card system now at 555 watts - 5 card rig isnt tuned yet. Holy crap and my cards never get over 74, @overcon crank those fans up..

    in response to the response that got deleted lol - I'm running 470's and pay $0.27 for electricity, I try to get as low as I can with a reasonable stable rate. I can run about 28.3 pretty easy but what I pay to get that rate isn't worth it. I'm real close to getting solar and when that happens then yeah, I'll be happy to push each card to 150 watts. My 5 470's rig is now at 640watts with 27.6-27.8 mh/s for me thats not to bad

    That was me. I've got a bad habit I've carried from other forums with editing after I think my comment sounds idiotic. Hence...the deletion lol.

    Anyway, the price for power makes sense. That totally slipped my mind...in that case, thank god that post was deleted.
  • listmanlistman Member Posts: 51
    na your post was fine in response to my first post, you had no idea what card I had or what i paid for elec.
  • Nigdean456Nigdean456 Member Posts: 5
    Eonezzz got them to 29 at just over 100w a card.

    And I would love to see and try out Heliox bios for my hynix cards lol

    New Pandaminer B3's have 8x 470 4G with Hynix mem. Already got those over 30Mh and less consumption than they did before :)

    Simple copy paste method of the 1500 strap gives 28.5Mh.

    Greetings!
    Do you have a pandaminer b3? would like to hear your experience.

    Can anyone post what they are putting in Polaris Bios Editor to get 29 Mh/s on these MSI Rx480 4gb cards? I have 5 of them and I have all the software to flash the BIOS but I don't know what values to put in.
  • mattlefmattlef Member Posts: 2
    This may be a really dumb question - but has anyone attempted to flash a 580 down to a 480 to get those wall savings and 30+mh?

    Just wondering if its possible - have 3x 580s sitting here ready to get into a rig, but wanted to be sure before i did something and lit fire to $400CAD.
  • listmanlistman Member Posts: 51
    I flashed my 570 down to a 470, only gain was matching setting with my 470 cards and not having to set cards individually. runs perfectly fine but still uses more power.

    Pm me and use windows
  • listmanlistman Member Posts: 51
    @aaa you can get a better rate with windows and use less power. You should be able to get 30 mh/s with those cards if you mod the bios, its pretty simple.

    Thank you for this guide. Can anyone tell me what is best drivers to use for Sapphire Nitro rx 470 (no + version)?
