Yep, I have used wattman but switchs to overdriventool for AMD overclocks. The issue is it doesn’t allow for setting the memory voltage, just the core voltage. This limits the max memory clock in my case to around 930-965mhz.
those are some settings ive optimized for eth. Shows samsung 5700 and vega cards. Hoping that helps you. Most good brand vega samsung can hit 57 mhs. Reason why im not a huge fan anymore of 5700. And are far more stable

Youre not the only one! Look at my last post. Those hynix are very poor at ETH but both hit 200 in ergo. I wish i could use two different TRM as vega literally cant use any other one. What do you mean you are hitting power limits on vega for ergo btw? Havent had that happen so curious
Ive found windows to be AWFUL gor vega’s. The software is unstable and unreliable. Hiveos much better for vega. 5700 or nvidia windows is fine
Thanks for the settings, I will play around with them although without being able to raise the memory voltage I am betting that I will be limited in what I can do.
Yep, any other miner is horrible for vega/polaris cards, they can work ok for the newer cards but those are the ones I am not worried about lol. I tried to create a custom miner by coping TRM and renaming it but for some reason it was not detected in hive and I gave up and just moved it to windows.
On my windows machine I have TRM running ETH, ERGO and RVN all at the same time in some cases. Just using old left over cards from when I upgraded so a VERY mixed rig.
In hive no matter what I did the vegas were limited to 160-165w and it would throttle the core if it went above that tanking ergo hashrate. I need around 930mv to keep them stable at ~195mh and that putts the power at ~170-175w IIRC.
Have not really had any stability issues on windows once I got the overclock dialed in so it was not crashing but also can’t get eth hashrate nearly as high. ERGO could do better on windows due to raising the power limit.
Very interesting - never had that issue mining Ergo in HiveOS. We all fiund out what works best for our system! How are they connected to PSU? My highest required 160W software and all are 190+, with a couple above 200.
Not sure what the power is at the wall for the vega indivdually but guessing around 200w. That is not an issue, it is the reported power that is the issue, the power limit is stuck at 160w and if it tries to go over that, the clocks are throttled.
In windows it needs ~175w reported which requires raising the power limit but the power limit does not seem to work for vegas in hive.
In my testing Navi GPUs (5000 and 6000 series) under-report total board power by 21%. While Vegas under-report by 31%. Unless you manage to find a Gigabyte Gaming OC Vega then you’ll get the full power draw of like 170W+, while all other Vegas are in the 120s. Then on top of that you have to add the efficiency of the PSU, which is generally 85-90%.
Micron 5700 can go up to 950Mhz for 58+ MHs but use up to 150W (real) to get there. Samsungs rarely do over 910Mhz so cannot break 56 MHs, but the big benefit is they do it with much lower power of ~110W. So for example if you had a 1000W PSU you could have 6 Microns @ 348 MHs, or 7 Samsungs at 385 MHs.

Anyone can help me to touch stable 180 mh+ ? i got 30 mh when i increase above 900 memclock or GPU dead when i decrease rcdrd under 16.
can someone give me better tweak ?
i already tried to increase CC etc and still capped at 175mh max
Raise the voltage, I need 930mv or more to reach 190mh+ BUT in hive it would limit my max power to ~165w and that would limit the hashrate to around 180mh.
Hey try dropping mem to 846, remove the SOC, then increase core to 1300
but my red devil cant RCDRD under 18. it will detected instadead
yes | rocm-smi -d 0 --setpoweroverdrive 245
This will take care of your 165w problem 
i’ve gotten 220mh/s from my vega but i need my waterblock to get here before i can push it for 24/7 or even try to get more out of it 
You are the first person to even know that this is an issue lol.
Where do I enter that command though?
The sad part is that it is looking like I will have to setup proxmox and run hive as a VM in order to actually use it since for some silly reason it can’t run 2 instances of the same miner.
I can’t even get TRM setup as a custom miner so I can run it separately. I need TRM x3 for ETH, ERGO and RVN.

That’s an interesting setup, never had to do it even though i’m pretty sure i will have to once i put most of my cards on one rig… My 5700XT sucks for ergo but my vega should be better of mining ergo at 220mh/s than eth at 58… I’m interested on what you find about the matter… Feel free to ask on TRM discord channel As to where you should put the command, you will either have to press the command button that looks like this >_ or start hive shell and type it there… Don’t forget to replace the 0 with the number of your card though… I can tell you right now that it’s not difficult to reach that 245 limit though I wish there was a way to fully unlock it for ergo mining… Pretty sure that once you go full waterblock you should be able to max the card… Whereas on Eth you are limited to 58mh/s since changing your memory from 1060 and up won’t affect the hashrate for some reason
I asked about making a custom miner “copy” of TRM in the discord but the only person that replied didn’t even know custom miners were a thing. That would still be the easiest option by far. It is possible, I just have no idea how to actually do it.
I gave it my best shot but could not get the custom miner to show up in hive and when I did it said the miner was already running, even if there was no miner running at all.
Someone that knows what they are doing should be able to rename TRM and create a copy of it so it can run officially I would think.
Proxmox adds a lot of unnecessary complication but is the only real option I can think of. I have an old server board that should be able to handle a lot of GPU’s (56 PCIe lanes?) and due to space constraints it would be a lot easier to run them all off a single system.
Is there no startup script for running commands at boot automatically?
There is a startup script but i don’t know how to use it… I’ve googled it before but it seemed like too much hassle… Ergo mining is pretty stable and if you use the command button on hiveos interface you actually have a history of previous used commands so it’s not that big of a deal… By the way i’m about to open a ticket about hiveos having problems while running multiple miners… I have 2 rigs that both show weird behavior at times… Like if i check my hashrate on the pool, sometimes one of the 2 miners has stopped reporting hashrate even though on hiveos it’s mining normally… This is a huge deal cause hashrate is effectively going to waste… I have a rig that runs a 390X on phoenixminer and a vega on TRM… Sometimes the vega hashrate is missing and sometimes the 390X is missing… Same with another rig that has a 5700xt on TRM and 2x3080tis on Nbminer… Though most of the time its the TRM that’s not reporting the hashrate on the pool… Really frustrated about why is that and what i should do about it… I think i will rename the worker name on the miners so i get 2 different hashrates on the pool instead of a combined one…
yeah, seems really odd when there is only one truly viable miner for AMD cards that they would not be able to handle multiple miners better. I tried all the others when trying to make a mixed rig work but they all had noticeably less hashrate if they worked at all.

I know right? Not only that but some cards are different than others… In my TRM tuning settings i have different modes for the vega and 5700xt…If i was to put them all in the same rig i’d have trouble setting the b-mode right for both… Not only that but the 8.6 version of TRM affects stability on vegas for some reason… It really made me think my vega has degraded or something… Havent tested the 8.6.2 update but if the 8.5 works fine why bother with the 8.6.2?
