or 2*380  it is 390, sry about the typo what numbers to set for "easy" OC that doesnt cut into card lifespan much? btw, I was thinking about getting another one, but my psu doesnt have anymore connectors. R9 390 uses 2x 8 pin. I believe my psu can handle the load, its 850W, but it doesnt have any more 8 pin connectors... Is there any adaptors molex-> 8pin? Or something like that?

Or something like that? yes but honestly it's not recommended at all, most 390s are 6+8, only some are 8+8. if it's 850w gold or platinum, with a slight undervolt and near stock clocks, then yeah it should be fine, but the molex isn't a good idea, maybe someone else can explain better than I can, but it comes down to amperage on the rail, in short, if the PSU only comes with 2 8 pins, it should only handle that many.

What is exact model of your PSU? You must have at least 2*6 pin and 2*8 pin PCI-E connectors.

XFX pro 850W 80+ bronze box says 2x 6/8 pin, 2x 6-pin, 24-pin mobo, 8-pin cpu along with abunch of molex and SATA connectors. so i got 2x 6 pin left to use, along with molex and sata connectors. So there is no room to add 1 more r9 390?

You can try to plug one 6-pin and one 8-pin plug to your card. Or you can look for PCI-E 6 to 8 pin adapter, like this one

I'm actually going to try stuffing 3 Hawaii cards into my M12II 850 after I build a new rig, albeit with some heavy undervolting.

EDIT: Check your 6-pin connectors and make sure they have all 6 pins. Most of them do but one of the 3 +12V pins is not actually required by PCI-E standard. If it only has 2 +12V pins I wouldn't try to adapt it into an 8 pin.

@Claymore,
I am trying to edit config.txt and epool.txt but I am unable to do it over lan. Is there any way to unlock the "read-only-mode" ? Thank you

For you Linux guys, Optiminer just posted v0.6.0 and claims 20-30% increase over v0.5.0

Semi-Unrelated post:  Anyone know how to run the second GPU without plugging a monitor in to it? I don't want to have to buy a dummy plug, but if i really need to... I have two MSI 480's in the rig, and the second one is disabled, and I'm pretty sure it's because of no monitor. I have a rig with 2 sapphire 480's, and it only has a monitor on the first card, and it runs fine.

you may have to disable UPLS (low power mode that disables 2nd gpu when not in use), you can do so in MSI afterburner or amd options i think. also disable crossfire.

I don't have the option for Crossfire, and "disable ULPS" is ticked in MSI AB.  It seems to be mining, but very slowly.  Edit: Both rigs are running win 10 x64, Crimson 16.6. I'll try installing 16.9.2. Edit #2: Updating drivers didn't change anything.

You need to use DDU and install 15.12 or the newest drivers if you have 4 series cards, be careful though sometimes using DDU before installing the newest drivers can cause small issues with card performance on old gen cards.

yeah DDU, its quick and simple, and get latest drivers on amd website, that should fix it. maybe snoop around in the bios and maybe there is an option somewhere. sometimes its the stupidest thing. good luck !
