Hey, you need to add the memory timings in your OCs, and are you using TRM for the miner?
I got a new Arez Strix Vega 56 with samsung chips in. I done some testing and unfortunately it’s not a great performer. Reducing mem clock from 960 to 900 gave an extra 2 Mhs. I’m using the standard samsung straps posted earlier in this thread.
On the plus side it seems to use less power per vddc and runs very cool on tjunction.
@ss-silver Thank you for the useful information. I am getting 187 Mhz Now.
But don’t you think the temperature is too high?
Yes that’s high but not crazy, I lower OCs if core temp gets over 65 or mem temp over 85.
But first turn the fans way up, I run mine at 90% when I have the hash rate turned way up, that Airboost model has good cooling, should get temps down, might be able to lower VDD as well that should help a little.
If temps are still too high try backing off the OCs like 1400 / 912 / 930 or 1300 / 850 / 847
Nice those temps look better, ERG at high hashrates generates alot of heat. I guess I should say my cut off temps are 65/85. I dont like to run them over 60/80 for extended periods.
Where I live its 33c today so I’m running a bit less aggressive setting until the temps drop tonight.
can i know how you setup an ergo wallet?
do you use an exchange or an ios app?
i want to start minting ergo, thanks
I use Coinex it works, ive gotten payouts and they have alot of other coins I might mine some day. Plus you can convert ERG to USDT there when you want to sell. My last wallet I had to convert to BTC first so thats a plus.
i see, thanks for the reply. yeah, maybe ill do half of ergo and eth while it’s still mineable.
I also use CoinEx. I recently started converting ERG > USDT and send it to Binance for 1 USDT txn fee via Binance Smart Chain. Sending it to a regular USDT wallet cost 5 USDT.

I got another Vega, this time a vanilla Sapphire Vega 64 blow style, with samsung chips. The default Sapphire Vega 64 bios was trash, I went from 148 to 177 Mhs with just a bios flash to Vega 56. I’m so glad to finally break 200 Mhs.
The Arez Strix samsung did not benefit at all from mem clock.
The ROG Strix hynix at 1400 core didn’t get much benefit from mem clock. But at 1440 core it would start to see increases from mem clock. Or maybe it was because I bumped VDDC from 875 to 900?
hey Silver. iv been tuning my 5xx cards for ERG. Whats the latest on vega s with Ergo, have u found any good improvements since we last compared results.? Im running my 580-90 rig with ERG and my small 570 test rig allso… so i have 5xx Settings good enought for post eth… still need to adjust my oc template for vega rig, so if u have some good pointers for that, i would apreciate all tips. thanks ! btw… A bit ot… sorry… looks like rx570 strix performs better than PowerColor 590 with micron with ERG… can u imagine! Cant find any way to top 570 with that 590…
xfx 590 micron is great shy -73mh. good card.
I bought a new rig yesterday but the setup has some heat issues so I have had to turn several of those cards way down, still struggling with temps on the new rig but for low power settings I’ve been liking 1275 / 818 / 847 for 175 Mh

nice.so a bit lower than the max that we were after
… good, Im looking to setup so that its a good compromise between performance and stability… maybe leaning more to stability… its been quite a struggle to keep rigs temps down, we have had allso like cloce to 30c, room with mining rigs was 35c…i had to get a new fan, moving out that hot air 350m3 /hour… not super efficient, but quiet and suits to the room i use, its our living area anyways 
Got rid of several degs, well… after summer we can really turn those clocks up! thanks for sharing, will use these as reference to my template.
Hi
Do you use same timings for your Vega 64 with 56bios?
And did somebody tried RadeonVII with ETH timings and ETH overclock settings for Ergo?
yes. Cant say about Radeon VII
for the 64s flashed to 56 I had to change RC from 36 to 37. My 64s throw invalids with RC 36 on ERG.
Yeah, I’ve been struggling with temps too. It’s summer here and all my cards are churning out some serious heat hahaha
I was on the 1225/837/847 mode and tried the 1275/818 on the VDD but as you can see from the shell ss, my VDD won’t go lower than 837. Don’t know how to force it to go lower through the settings.
