AMD FirePro W7100 8GB. .... Hidden GEM 42MH

Glad to help!!

I’ve got nine S9150s altogether (I had 10 but one’s memory power regulator exploded rather unexpectedly) all hashing away nicely.

Total cost for all ten cards was $1156 and the nine left are hashing at 233 Mh/s at about 1500 watts.

At current prices, I’m making about $600-650 a month after my power costs. They paid themselves off a couple weeks ago, so it’s all profit now.

Thanks for the w7100 Dell bios!

Running that with with a 700 core, DPM 3 , 600/675 100% fan I got the temp steady at 77, 88W, 29Mhs at the pool ( showing 51 in phoenix miner)

I’m going to let it run for the night and see what she pays before I look at picking up a few more.

Feel free to share that " more refined version bios " if it gets the temp down a bit. :wink:

Thanks
Dave

@ stryfe024 could you post that bios, I tried the 2 that are still available and wasn’t able to flash. TY

I had to force security settings and reboot to get the BIOS to stick…even then, Im not sure they make much difference. I have to hand it to Farkeytron for his insight on the mem logjam. He nailed the actual hash rate on these w7100s. While not horrible, they roughly push 20 mhs after comparing them to other cards side by side as far as payout. I got two of them. Side by side, theyre getting less shares than the RX570 I recently got running at 27… and I have no idea why one runs super hot and has to be at DPM3. Im thinking of dropping them both down to 1 and giving it a day to see if it at least chews up less watts and kills the heat. The 2nd one I acquired at the top had an extra steel backplate extending off of it from the same vendor on amazon…then the price went up 200$…then sold out. lol Im going to try giving the hot boi a re-paste.

@stryfe024 after a few tweaks with editing the bios, my card is getting the highest hashrate (22ish +/- 2) at 800 on the core.



It is running super hot, but is stable, I’m going to apply new thermal paste to see if that helps too.

I’ll see if I can tweak a little more, but the overclocking settings don’t seem to do anything with the w7100, except change the DPM, which obviously you need to do in the bios editor to find your cards most efficient setting for mining.

Here is my current bios tweaks, running DPM 4 stable:

Using: TongaBiosReader/TongaBiosReader_v1511181344.exe at master · Hedzin/TongaBiosReader · GitHub
to tweak the bios.

im a tad afraid of the tonga just yet. Thanks though! I derped out. The hot card was one i was using the Bios from Mike on. I applied to both and theyre both beasting out…on the backend anyway. When I applied the factory BIOS to both they chill out. The BIOS is the one posted by Mistokes18 on Feb 25th on this thread. Im a total noob to github.

So Im one day away from getting my 1st payout from 2miners from this thing! yeeet! haah Is this a normal mining graph or are these w7100s hodling and skeeting since they have the mem bandwidth logjam as Farkeytron mentioned? No invalid shares at least.I get 2miners uses shares as an avg hash rate. Should I expect a better payout or a more steady poolside hashrate from like ethermine? Im going to try the latter now that my hashrate is up a bit and I cant get the w7100s to handle KAPOW for Raven. Think HiveOS pool will give me the full 146.2 mhs it says Im mining at if i eat their fee? :blush: This is literally my 1st foray into GPU mining since I gave up my CPU mining of Doge in 2014. uggh. Happy Birthday. lol


What editor is this? I have Tonga Bios Reader 2.0.5888.24717. This is way better. Please share! :slight_smile: Thankl you!

I just got my hands on a W9100. Can the OC settings be input in the HiveOS OC entry box rather than flashing a customized bios or is the customized bios required? Can you share your settings?

I believe the W9100 is locked. You can certainly try using HiveOS to change the clocks.

If it fails to work, you’ll need to use a BIOS mod

Thank you. Can you share the clocks you are using?

hi what do you use to flash?
i’ve treid ATIflash 293 and amdvnflash 3.15 and getting " error reading from rom" when i try to program.

how did you flash?

amdvbflash should work just fine, I believe it has to be 3.04+ to work correctly.

i was able to successfully flash bios, but W7100 no longer reconige :confused:

do i need to uninstall AMD pro software and re install?

run amdvbflash -i and see if the program is recognizing any gpu connected.

looks all normal but something is wrong.
i think my GPU is semi bricked :sob:

hmm, is it throwing any error when you mine with it or use it? I’d try reinstalling the drivers because the bios test passed so it shouldn’t be bricked, If that doesn’t work try re-flashing the bios using atiflash 3.04+ I know that that version has some features that work better with flashing vs other version’s. make sure its the “+” version and not the regular 3.04. I’m not sure if 3.15 has the same features as 3.04+ so that could be the issue.

Windows will screw up with modded BIOSes with AMD cards.

Try HiveOS on a USB stick on your PC and see if it works.

The alternative is to use a Windows driver patcher to bypass the driver check in Windows.

i brought back from the dead!
i kept getting failed with flashing from back up (made from GPU-Z), but no luck.
i grabbed another w7100 and backup bios with “amdvbflash” and flash with that bios worked!
looks like Bios part number is different with Modded version.
my cards are Legacy BIOS Part Number 113-C7670400-103
and modded bios is Legacy BIOS Part Number 113-C7670400-102
not sure this has to do with modded bios flash failure.
