Mining BIOS repository

[cdawall]

I have been testing quite a few different cards with different BIOS's I will go ahead and post each of them that I have with some instructions. If you have some tested BIOS's feel free to post them up and I will add them to the list!

Also if you are feeling nice you are welcome to donate to my btc address

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

EDIT ADDING ADDITIONAL BIOS's

 

[cdawall]

How to flash you card.

Download ATiWinflash link to here

Run ATiWinflash as Admin

Select the BIOS

Select program

In theory you should get this next

Reboot

Depending on which BIOS you are using you may have to run the ATi patcher for the BIOS signature. I have included that in here.

If everything went well GPUz should show your new clocks

And you should have better performance than your original BIOS.

This is a really cheap powercoler RX560 4GB I have been playing with, it is on a ZEC minded BIOS right now that doesn't really care about power consumption, more of a "I wonder".

Maybe start this thread with a warning? Looks like you put allot of work in

I assume if they have made it this far they understand the risks.

Download ATiWinflash link to here

Run ATiWinflash as Admin

1. That's an antiquated version of ATIWinflash you linked to there. There's really no reason not to use the latest version 2.77 here.

2. ATIWinflash doesn't "need" to be run as administrator. You can...but it's a waste of a mouse click. When all you need to do is left click once to run it.

 

[cdawall]

I just linked tpu. I could care less which version it is lol.

This is for new users you have to run it as an admin for it to work so that's why the instructions for people using it have that in it. I notice you didn't make a thread and aren't really being helpful. Got anything useful to post?

 

[cdawall]

I have some more BIOS's to upload, seeing if W1z can give me the ability to do more than 10 attachments per post for simplicity before adding them in. Please don't hesitate to post BIOS's to mod.

 

[technoob]

Hello, here is a XFX 4x 474 original rom , I don't know how to mod the bios.
Thank you if you can help me out

I can donate ETH for you if it works.
sorry that i do not have btc

 

[cdawall]

I'll throw my eth account up there and get it modded for you shortly watching the Astros play the world series right now

@technoob Bios is posted to the main part of the thread, that is using the modded hynix strap, fan speed is adjusted to allow the card to go all the way up to 100% and ram clock is set to 2050@1000mV. if that is unstable let me know that is the same setup I use for my elpida cards that does 28-29mh/s

 

[technoob]

@cdawall hey dude , It is not work for me. When I turn on the miner , blue screen show up immediately.
The attachment is my original rom and Gpu-z information for my xfx card. (The rom gave to you yesterday from internet.)
my ram is Samsung but not Elpida or Hynix, I don't know is it matters.
Can you take a look again

Yes will do

@technoob

Here these are modded for hynix, strap set uses a samsung strap and matches my other hynix cards these normally pull of 27-30mh/s depending on DAG and driver used. Same bump in fan speed so it will go all the way to 100%. I have linked three bios's in this zip file let me know which works for you and I will toss them in the main post. There is a 2000, 2050 and 2100mhz one.

Hey its Cobb thanks for all the patience and help. This revision may help me understand better

 

[cdawall]

here @Prophetmgs88 give this one a shot

Just to confirm, I can use samsung straps copy it to my hynix rx 580 sapphire nitro+ OC?? on which memory should i paste it?

Samsung straps for Hynix? I don't think so. Your GPU would crash. IMO

Correct that is the strap I use for all of my Hynix bios's and is why I have several labeled Hynix/Samsung. You would paste that strap over everything 1750 and higher. Typically Hynix based cards will do 2050-2100mhz with that strap and Samsung cards will do 2250. You can also drop the ram voltage down to 950mV.

what msi or trixx settings should i use with this? i am using nicehash atm.
power is through the roof.

this is a moded bios (not yours). the 24mh/s card is a 570

Please post Bios links below or inbox Me Msi Radeon RX580 GAMING X 8gb Hynix


I have tried two so far and still not reached 30 hash, also using a lot of power. I have over clocked in ethos as seen below.

Post the original and I'll mod it for you. You can save it in a zip file and upload it straight to this thread

[Tornador]

I think my RX 580s 4GB/8GB with 256kb rom are drawing a bit too much power. I have been running them on Anorak's PowerSave roms, but they still are drawing a bit much and they are sometimes unstable above 2000/2100 RAM / 1125/1150 GPU / - 96mv in MSI AB. Any help much appreciated

Edit: added the modded bioses I have been experimenting with (from Anorak.tech)
