New to Mining with RX 580 4Gb

Install the card directly on Pci-e 16x slot (the big slot). Because the DAG file is bigger than 4Gbytes you can not have the normal hashrate on those cards. lolminer works on zombie-mode with 4GB cards but gives higher hash only if you use the cards on the 16x or 8x slot without extenders. Ofcoures use the other cards with extenders. Or better with 6 4gb cards mine something else like Raven coin.

When I try to mine ravecon, my rig constantly reboots and losses connection. Can you give me config for RVN please? I mean how to set it up and other…

I am using the latest ver of Lolminer. But I think that the ver of Hiveos makes a difference because I have used a different ver of hive and got worst results. I am working on it and will let you know what version works.

Thanks man

Actually, I got 24 MH with 570 4G card with Lolminer. But the card has to be installed in the 16 PCIE slot. would you please let me know how to join your discord channel? I am new to discord and still find it difficult to deal with :slight_smile:

I have the card working with Hive ver 0.6-190@210106, 23.5 MH now.

I am having problems with my other card on the other rig though. I can not get more than 18MH now!!

still working on the other card. I used to get 24MH.

I wish you good luck and I will be very greatful if you share later what is going on with your second one, because I work on 18.6Mh (HiveOs 0.6-190@210218, lolminer 1.22)

Well, I got the other one working at 24 also.
I have an H110 D3a gigabyte board.
I had to set the default, mining setup advised by Gigabyte, Enable GEN2
Hiveos version 0.6-200@210302.
Good luck to you.

I use normal bios mode on the motherboard, Do you think that I have to enable the integrated VGA on the board. I did not try this yet. I have also mining mode in the BIOS , and I think that this what exactly do.

Because you have PCI Express X16 Gen3 which has higher bandwidth than PCI Express X16 Gen 2 (8GT/s vs 5GT/s). On PCI Express x16 Gen2 I did 19,5/20Mh

i am using GEN2 on the H110, and the other board is a very old regular HP pc.

Any modifications? Can you show what OC parameters you have and what parameters on lolMiner?

No

modifications.

Hello mates, I just set up my motherboard BIOS on mining mode. I use lolminer 1.24a and I have a little bit increase of the hash rate - 21,4Mh. But now my GPU works on PCI-e 16x gen2 instead of gen3 how it was before. I think that if I was gen3 I would have more hashrate.
Lolminer at auto settings - that give me best result.
Any ideas?
wkholl - I would advice you to use REF 30 instead 20 it has matter for me.

I can’t pass ~18MH, any ideas? I put cards to PCI-e x16 Gen2 slots, but Link width has changed to x8 - is it lowering hashrate? Any more ideas? (I changed alloc size to 4078)

Usually when you have 2 pci-e 16x slots and use them both one of them is 16x other is 8x. Could you check in the Motherboard bios for some settings for those slots. I am also curios how my pci-e work on gen3 and when I activated mining mode it goes on gen2.
Your pci-e link width x8 is twice less speed than x16.
GEN2 x8 =4GB/s
GEN2 x16 = 8GB/s = GEN3 x8
GEN3 x16 = 16GB/s


make one of them x16 and your hash will be better.

Im an old overclocker so I know something about motherboard bioses (forgot maybe a little bit but … :stuck_out_tongue: ). There is no option to force on my motherboard pci-e x16 on first slot, and pci-e x8 on second slot. Yesterday I put only one RX570 to first slot with x16 and hashrate was ~19,5Mh. So I still don’t know whats going on. Maybe there is an issue with gen2 x16 and gen3 x16 pci-e or something in lolminer settings?

Today I forced my PCI-e to work on gen3 x16, but instead to increase hashrate it drops from 21,4 to 20Mh? Any suggestions? Everything is the same except pci-e x16 generation.

Hi guys.

  1. In order to get maximum speed you have to be on a PCIEx16 slot (gen 2 or 3). Look also at lolMiner -

Me I get 20.5 at it with my RX570 4GB. In the second PCIEx16 my Ashrovk B250 Pro it is probably x8 and I get 13.3-14Mh. In the PCIEx1 with a riser I get 7.5Mh. Any way to get the first to 24 and second near to 20?

  1. Other issue. On the second slot, speed is degrading with rising eras. In the first solid as a rock. Any ideas there?
