I just got a couple of MSI 5700 XT Mechs for free and put them to work. Does anyone else have experience with these? They don’t seem to want to go below 120 W. I’ve modded the bios and they both sit at around the numbers shown in the figure below.
I can bump the Mem up to 950 and it will top out at around 58 MH and 129W. If anyone has been able to get these to run at lower power please share your settings.
how did you mod the bios of your Gigabyte cards?
You need to load an unsigned version of the bios from Sep 2019.
I documented the process at https://www.igorslab.de/community/threads/gigabyte-5700-xt-bios-mod-fails.3304/
I agree with you totally. What’s your OC setting to get below 100W?
I concluded that getting under 100W depends on the GPU. GPUs with Samsung memory tend to run at lower power. I believe that expensive GPU, like the Sapphire Nitro+, will have a better power consumption.
The only card that I was able to achive below 100W is AMD 5700XT Reference card with Samsung memory. All other GPUs with Micron are running between 109 to 114W.
AlleyCat, I just want to say thank you. I have been struggling with these cards until now. While I could not get the core clock to be stable at 1460, your numbers are fantastic. I will take a little lower hash rate for 101-111 watts and these temperatures are incredible. I shaved over 50 watts off each card and again, those low temps rock. Running 3 1/2 hours not a glitch. I created a forum account just to say - Thank you so much for sharing.
I tested the settings with a power meter at the wall, and I found that the numbers in HiveOS could be very wrong. I am still investigating these issues because I don’t know precisely where the power is getting lost. Some cards that report 96W in HiveOS take about 150W on the wall. My testing methods at this time are limited to remove a card and subtract the total system power. I don’t know how much is lost due to the GPU, the riser, or the USB port.
I am telling you, so you are not dependent on the numbers reported by HiveOs.
HiveOS says only GPU power. Dont include riser. These new GPUs needs more power from risers. Also 3 fans + lights + memory of the GPU. Check my info about Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700 XR series in bitcointalk.org
You can find detailed informaiton. But remember you can reduce power by using proper VDD and VDDCI values.

The system with 12 GPU eats 1520W-1580W and gives 670 MH/s – 676 MH/s. (Samsung RAM)
The system at the same parts with Micron memory eats 1850W-1950W and gives 700 MH/s – 704 MH/s.
TOP MEMORY VALUES:
Micron goes to 930-950
Samsung goes to 885-915
how can I proof if a card has micron or samsung memory if I want to buy some new ones?
You cannot know. You have to open the box and plugthe GPU and run the HiveOS.
HERE IS TO SAVE 30W FOR 12 GPU RIGS !!!
You can save 30W for 12 GPU rigs by turning off the lights.
YES, it is possible on HiveOS.
Great information. Thank you.
How do you turn off the LEDs on the GPU using HiveOS?
that´s 30w per gpu, not 30w per 12 gpu…that´s a huge difference.
to turn off the gpu led´s i pulled the cables on every card
Hello @igotek
I’m running 6 rx5700xt cards with micron memory. Can you please share your bios? The best result i could achieve is 56mh with 120w on each card.
I’m also running MSI 5700xt Mech on my rigs. Getting about pretty much the same results. Already bios modded but haven’t tried with morepowertools yet.
Hello,
I use 5700 xt pulse, I changed the straps but I get 57 mh with 105 / 108w.
1380/775/775/920 mem
do you have time for me? what should I do?
thank you
Hello Everyone … well being a relative newcomer to the HiveOS family. I had already built a Hackintosh and decided to expand to Bitcoin mining. Currently I am running a B250 LGA 1511 Mining Expert, with 16 gb Ram and a Intel® Celeron® CPU G3930 @ 2.90GHz. I tried valiantly to add HiveOS to my SSD drive but alas I loaded HiveOS onto a ADATA UV128/32GB USB 3,0 stick. I currently have the following GPU’s (2) MSI Radeon RX 580 DirectX 12 RX 580 ARMOR 8G and (3) PowerColor RED DEVIL Radeon RX 5700 XT DirectX 12 AXRX 5700 XT 8GBD6-3DHE/OC 8GB. I additional have an EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2 120-G2-1600-X1 80+ GOLD 1600W Fully Modular PSU all loaded into a Rosewill RSV-L4000C - 4U Rackmount Server Case / Chassis for AI / Bitcoin Mining Machine. Now down to loading HiveOS. I have 2 machines, 1 Windows and 1 Linux so I used Etcher to load [email protected] onto the USB stick. I then plugged in the USB to my Mining rig and powered up under Linux. I was able to login to HiveOS and setup my farm and then simply downloaded the rig.conf and then copied to HiveOS. Then I did a Linux sudo cp from the main HIveOS (got address from properties) and then got the address of the [HIVE Root - Hive-Conf] folder and copied to the Hive-Conf folder. The issue from a previous load using just the regular GPU download was corrected by the BETA version so that both RX 580 and RX 5700 XT GPUs were visible on startup of HiveOS. I simply pointed to the USB in my BIOS and voila I was able to start HiveOS miner. Now as an added feature I have 4 of the 5 GPU’s watercooled and I should have the 5th recently added GPU Powercolor watercooled in the next 5 days. I am running only 1 fan and the RX 580’s are set at Core 1150 DPM 5 VDD 900 and MEM 2100/2150 the RX 5700 XT’s are set at CORE 1430 DPM 5 VDD 775 VDDC 775 MVDD 1350 and MEM 950 … please see my results in the attached photos
Cheers to All and Happy Thanksgiving … if you need information just ping me and thanks to the HiveOS author and creator for this forum30W for 12 GPU.
Hi Igotek, tx for your work.
I start mining on RTX 5700 XT Saphire Samsung RAM.
Could you modify bios for me ? how can I send you the original one. ?
tx. vlado.
