Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[adaseb]

Can someone who has a Reference R9 290 factory stock run theirs at 1100/1450 and post their Sol/s.

I am wondering if the STILT BIOS mods make any difference, I am getting 169Sol/s. With Elpida

Reference R9 290 stock Elpida 1100/1250 147 Sol/s; 1100/1450 143 Sol/s
only a few sol. increase from stock settings (947/1250 141 Sol/s)

If you can please post bios rom for Reference R9 290. Thanks.

Maybe, but IF the difference is from the BIOS it is not much in that case.
My stock Sapphire (Hynix) is doing 158 Sol/s at these clocks. But the higher clock speeds do not make much sense - at 1050/1250 it is doing nearly the same: 151 Sol/h. Probably I could go even lower, but did not test it.

Claymore, it will be possible mining with dual (zcash + siacoin) ?

[adaseb]

Alright I included the links and instructions for the Stilt BIOS for the Reference R9 290 in my Bios hacking thread

https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=1676474

Try it and see if it makes a difference. They are all Stilt work that he made for Litecoin mining back in 2014.

Good Job Man!!!!!

How are you keeping your temps that low, my 390x sits at 93c

Well, it depends a lot about where you live. My cards are around 55°C mining ZCash, 60°C mining Ethereum, and I have set the thing so that for 1°C my fans go at 1%, so 55% and 60%.

[citronick]

Sampled v6 on my rigs:

290x at 166-168 H/s - speechless!

R9-390 at 177-180 H/s - OMG!

RX 480 at 140-142 H/s - best improvement since v5.

R9-Nano at 191-194 H/s  - OMG x 100 !

Bravo Claymore!

Those are very nice speeds. Compliments to you and Sir Claymore !!

RX470 OC 4GB - 148h/s to 150h/s modded bios and sweet spot settings

The 290x is with Stilt BIOS.

The rig has 2 x 290 and 1 x 290x - all flashed with Stilt BIOS.

After I achieved my power savings, I didn't bother with speed settings and just let it rip.

What GPU is that? I know its a 390X, but it must be aftermarket and not reference, shouldn't be running that fast.

Your 290x got Hynix? Can you try running at 1100/1475 and see your results?

[anticlimax]

I understand what you are saying but two days ago the diff was slightly over 200K, now its almost double.

Everyday the block reward only increases by around ~0.288 ZEC. So block reward increases by ~6% while difficulty increases by 100%.

Since the difficulty is increasing due to miner optimization, that's hardly accurate.

Hi,

Im new here but all i can say is you are insane Claymore.. Keep a good work  

Getting 140h/s on r9 290 and on rx 480 145 h/s

[adaseb]

If you got the Reference R9 290 you can always remove the backplate, for lower temps. Makes a huge difference for me, except hanging it later requires some zip ties.

thanks adaseb -- I am so going to do this. These cards runs hot and also loud, but they are as good as 390s (maybe because there same cards... LOL)

[Meech]

I'm at 170 with plain 480 8gb no overclock.  Try to fiddle with it.

Good to know..  Looks just like mine.  Still prefer reference cooler since fan lasts forever.

How can I let the claymore miner show on my nicehash stats ? Is it possible?

Like here for example (not my stats):

Hello everybody,
I just bought today 2 extra cards now i should have 5 cards in my rig but there is some problem with the instal off the 5th card, i've read some thing on the internet and try them out but still nothing is working
I use windows 8.1 and 4 cards are working
In the bios i see the 5 cards are pluged in but in the device manager i only see 4 cards and no errors..
I tried to switch them but still see 4 cards, i also tried other risers but still the 5th card isn't showing up. Changing in the bios from onboard modus to pcie express also isn't working. The cards are all new and works but not on the same time, i'm on a 1200w box think thats enough to load them up.my motherboard is assrock h97 anniversary. I read linux and windows 10 will works directly out the box with all cards but i will not chance to linux and i also have no windows 10 right now.. the links from litecoin en gobitgo i already have seen and youtube i'm not finding much.. somebody how nows this issue and maybe could give me some tips i  maybe also can try?
