Mining BIOS repository

Hi George,

Try these BIOS from just above your post and let us know. I have pasted at the bottom of this post as well. Ensure you are using mining driver also

Thanks,

Hi Tohuk,

Can you post your default BIOS flash files please?

Hi
After the firmware update they changed to RX 570 ....

Hi Tohuk,

Yes Nasha, this is my default (original) rom

Hi cdawall, here is my original bios

Thank You so much cdawall for support and help! THANK YOU!

I have here a bios from a MSI Armor OC 4GB with Samsung memory.

 

[cdawall]

Will tag it as soon as I have a chance. If you are playing with bios editors the timings I have listed for hynix 8gb cards and 2250mhz for me more clockspeed would get you over 30mh/s.

 

[phill]

I really need to do something about my cards lol

 

[moproblems99]

Well, first attempt at modding the BIOS is not going so well. Changed the straps. Flash seemed to be going ok but the desktop hung after the flash...

EDIT:

Hard Restart 20 minutes later seemed to do work out ok. Although, the has rate is still only at 22MH. I still can't run this on the Block Chain Driver either.

EDIT 2:

So I have tried several different strappings and cannot get the card over 22.5MH. I have a feeling that this is maybe related to not being able to use the Block Chain drivers. Perhaps I need to go back to an older driver. Also, flashing the original bios back allowed me to finish the bios flashing procedure normally. Perhaps I need to use the patcher as well. Even though I had to hard reset, the bios seemed to be flashed correctly.

 

[cdawall]

use the blockchain driver and use the patcher I linked on the first page.

I can't use the block chain driver. Video blacks out and crashes the system.

Then something is messed up with the card.

 

[moproblems99]

I don't seem to have an issue in linux with it but I don't get any mining benefit either.

Memory straps for different cards these are based off of older DAG's you may loose 1-2MH/s depending on current DAG

Samsung Revision B, this is my go to strap for any Samsung based card "b" or "c" revision, the B revision memory can normally do 2250-2275 with this strap and is good for 31+ on a 480/580 and 28-29+ on a 470/570

777000000000000022CC1C00106A6D4DD0571016B90D060C006AE70014051420FA8900A0030000001B11333DC0303A17

Elpida this is actually a strap for Hynix H5GC4H24AJ and Samsung rev C, but it yielded better performance than using the Elpida strap on multiple cards I tested with. I have had an occasional share drop with this strap and it is good for around 2050mhz and 28-29mh/s on a 470/570.

777000000000000022AA1C00315A6B3CA0550F15B68C1506006AE4007C041420CA8980A9020004C01712262B612B3715

IF that strap is unstable for your card this is the strap I used to use it is about .5-1mh/s slower

777000000000000022339D00CE516A3D9055111230CB4409004AE600740114206A8900A002003120150F292F94273116

Hynix this is another stolen strap, this is for Samsung rev C memory, it can normally equal if not best Samsung memory for performance. Clockspeed is good to around 2100mhz with this strap.

777000000000000022AA1C00B56A6D46C0551017BE8E060C006AE6000C081420EA8900AB030000001B162C31C0313F17

This is a 1500mhz strap for Hynix 4GB cards, the Samsung strap does not work well with ram part number H5GC4H24AJ, this is the same strap as some Elpida memory, this ram behaves a lot like Elpida.

777000000000000022339D00CE516A3D9055111230CB4409004AE600740114206A8900A002003120150F292F94273116

Micron these are a bit more of a pain to deal with...this is the 1750 strap and it can normally do 2050-2100 depending on card. It actually matches the Samsung rev C strap, I may have to dig into this more and see if the OEM hynix strap works better. I no longer have a Micron based card though so if you have one and would like to see it tweaked please send me the BIOS!

777000000000000022AA1C00B56A6D46C0551017BE8E060C006AE6000C081420EA8900AB030000001B162C31C0313F17

can u learn me of writing timing?
i donate you after learning

Hi cdawall,
Please help me with a bios mod for my cards: Asus RX580 8GB Dual with Hynix memory.
Many thanks, attached original bios

Hey Bro

Need your help, I have Sapphire (11265-07-20G) 4GB RX 580 NITRO OC PCI-E VGA Card

I have tired all the roms for 4GB Elpida in this post - non of them are stable. I can see GPU errors and then eventually crash. I got latest AMD Drivers which have compute option.

My BIO's Attached.

would really appreciate it if you can have a look and fix it for me.

thanks

I have two cards I copy 1:1500 and 2:1500 to all below but still my avg power draw is 133.6W i think thats to high.

Hi @cdawall awesome thread!

I've been messing around with my Sapphire RX 480 Reference card with no joy, I have tried manually editing with SRBPolaris Editor 3.2 and Polaris Editor 1.6.6 but everytime I flash a modded BIOS I get 0 GPU clocks in GPU-Z as per below and it mines at around 4mhz

I've checked to see that the checksum is correct and that the file is 512kb but still can't get it to take correctly.

I want to get about 29MHs out of it on low power, I tried copying the power and timings from this Boysie BIOS from ETH forum but cannot get it to stick due to above issues.

I also have a Gigabyte RX 480 Windforce 8G I want to do the same with, can you help? many thanks.

If you are getting the 0 clocks in GPU-z, you most probably have to run the atikmdag patcher after updating vBIOS (don't restart after updating, run patcher first.)

@cdawall , have you had any luck running the 1425mhz strap?

Those timings are pulled from OEM BIOS's, you would have to break out a hex editor to manually adjust timing by timing.

I have attached the BIOS based off of what you uploaded. It is orginally titled as a STRIX bios? I used that as the base, but changed naming to match the card you said.

Attached a BIOS for both. You need to run the ATikpatcher that is linked on the first page of the thread. Both cards list a BIOS for Samsung memory, both cards should do 30-31MH/s with the blockchain driver+patcher or new drivers with "compute mode" enabled.

Give the one attached a try if unstable underclock the memory to 1950. Elpida cards are a bit more trail and error to mod. The memory quality doesn't seem equal.

If you are getting the 0 clocks in GPU-z, you most probably have to run the atikmdag patcher after updating vBIOS (don't restart after updating, run patcher first.)

@cdawall , have you had any luck running the 1425mhz strap?

Depends on card...elpida I have started using the 1425 strap when they are being garbage. lol

 

[KC1911]

You're a true gent @cdawall thank you for your service

Not a problem let me know how they work. If they need anything changed I can mod them a bit more

Thanks for that.

Do you reduce the memory clock speeds to run 1425mhz timing or leave at 2000mhz or greater?

 

[cdawall]

Thanks for that.

I have one card that loves those timings at 1940 and some others that can push them to 2020

How are the results running 1940Mhz?

I'm get around 27MHs out of both of these, is there anyway to push these to around 29MHs do you think? Bear in mind my Sapphire is the original reference card with only a 6 pin power connector so that might slow it down.

Also I'm using Genoil Ethminer not Claymore, many thanks.

That's good for 28-29 on a 570

I don't know much about that miner. I can tweak more yes what clock speeds is it running under load?

Here is another set from a FB edit i did.
