Maybe more like an online course...
Noob here. Can someone explain exactly what the bolded statement means? Is this referring to fields in polariseditor? What's a 1500 strap? I would love to get an extra 20% out of my msi rx480.
Thanks,
Sam
" I've also got the armor 4gb 480 hynix and it wont do more than 26/27. Im running 1275/1900 with 1500 strap. Mem can't go higher without errors, and I can push core but no point afaik. Also, the bios for these cards don't support undervolting
, so the only way to get it lower is to force it with wattman in windows

MSI RX480 4GB ARMOR OC GDDR5 Hynix - $380
Sapphire Radeon R9 Fury Nitro OC - $380
Z170A Gaming M5 Mobo for up to 7 GPU (way overkill) - $150
Celeron G3930 2.9GHz - $40
8Gb 2133 Ram - $25
NZXT S340 Case - $70
Sorry for details I'm a hardware engineer and I love to line itemize I guess.
I have to say that I'm super impressed by the Celeron. I have not tested the power draw personally but I've read enough other posts to know it just sips, around 20-27W, maybe lower dunno. Compared to the NHM Bloomfield it's replacing, it's about 20% of the NHM. Quite frankly since I'm using it for my regular desktop it's just not quite sharp enough, so I'm upgrading to an i3-7300 @ 4Ghz. Still same TDP of 51W, and with all the sophisticated power management they have on cores these days, CPU typical usage is really becoming completely negligible; even for a dedicated miner the top companies are doing a lot better job controlling leakage.
Cards are a ripoff I know, and I realize both nvidia and amd are coming out with mining specific cards probably later this year, but it's a project I wanted to start right away.
Anyway. I get 50-51 MHs, and just like everyone else I suppose I bricked the Rx480 a few times.
But I know there's a way to get more out of the RX480, and my suspicion is that I have to edit my Rom directly using polariseditor.
Can anyone enlighten me a bit (just high level) if I'm on the right track, it'll help narrow the searching down.
Hello, looks like this is a good forum. The largest?
Thanks
Sam
