Did not find a switch on the Vega 56 gigabyte and tested the strap with no luck, GPU appeared dead
With these settings it will run, but I get invalid shares and will crash every 10 minutes or so
How do I change the DPM settings I cannot find it anywhere even with a google search.
I am by no means an expert or guru, but from what I noticed, TRM chooses the config mode intensity based on current “parameters” such as OC settings, temperatures etc.
And also, higher conf number doesn’t necessarily mean more hashrate. Each card has a “sweetspot” I think, and by running the auto-config and taking note of what TRM has chosen each time and then noticing the hashrate and general stability of the cards, I have personally ended up with a “cheat sheet” for all my AMD cards with different eth_config numbers. Using these has never failed me so far, even when I moved cards around between rigs etc. Once you get this “sweetspot” number for each card, then it’s always a 100% consistent result.
Regarding the two cards that can’t run on B-mode, I wouldn’t hassle too much about it, sometimes it is what it is. I have one RX 580 that doesn’t like B-mode, just like your two vegas it crashes when I use it. I even tried switching to B-mode after finding the “sweetspot” number for it (going from A288 to B288). It seemed to work but I got worse hashrate and it would still crash randomly every now and then, so it’s back to A mode. Works like a charm for weeks, so I really don’t bother much.
@ss-silver You made me wanna try and fiddle with the core voltage these days. This is what I achieved with my Sapphire Vega 56 with Hynix memories. I really don’t know how in the past this card could not go with lower than 850 mV.
Now it is stable at 780 mV and only 99W in the software (I assume around 125W at the wall).
@aminer haha nice! Ya im trying to figure out why some cards are able to go so much lower. Maybe TRM 0.8.3 had something that helped, I dont remember reading it in the release notes but ya I am now able to run some of these cards 50mv lower than before and looks very stable to me, 31 hrs with thes vvd settings so far and still running at 100%
@Austbost that’s strange
My next thought is to try increasing rcdrd with:
amdmemtweak --RCDRD 15
It will drop hash but if it fixes the invalids you could try adding --RC 37 --REF 65535, which should bring the hashrare back up a bit.
The little blue circle in the image above the individual OC setting buttons is how you can change DMP state for all cards.
Thank you vsimovic
Am sharing my results as well. I have one Asus Vega 56 with Hynix and a Vega 64 with Samsung. Both are on stock bios. Using TRM with --eth_config=B

Gigabyte Gaming OC indeed have no switch so no backup bios so be carefull if you flash to pick the correct bios from the first time!
I have no idea why, but in my experience, Gygabyte Gaming OC Hynix and Reference Card Hynix need different straps, for me at least. I have these set:
Gigabyte Hynix:
amdmemtweak --CL 20 --RC 36 --RP 11 --WR 14 --CWL 8 --FAW 12 --RAS 22 --REF 65535 --RFC 239 --RTP 5 --RRDL 6 --RRDS 3 --WTRL 9 --WTRS 4 --RCDRD 12 --RCDWR 12
Reference Hynix:

(if lots of invalids; increase RCDRD; if non, try to lower it step by step until you see invalids popping up)
PS: Not my straps; all credits go to @ss-silver and @Smining570 ; they’re the gods of straps 
Thanks, I’ll take more notes and find the sweetspot!
It wouldn’t bother me if they wouldn’t run a few °C hotter than the other ones, and I’m trying to get their temps down so they can keep running until higher ambient temperature.
I have now 3 templates with different straps and OC’s; and these templates keep the HBM’s to max 70°C. Lower straps/OC’s mean lower hashrate, but if the longevity of the gpu’s is better than I’m glad to sacrifice some MH/s.
On my 13GPU Vega rig (5x Hynix, 6x Samsung 56, 2x Samsung 64>56) this gives about the following results:
T<23°C A-mode Hash 703MH/s HiveOS 1762W Wall 2430W
T<23°C B-mode Hash 702MH/s HiveOS 1675W Wall 2330W
T<27°C B-mode Hash 674MH/s HiveOS 1535W Wall 2140W
T<31°C B-mode Hash 658MH/s HiveOS 1480W Wall 2080W
The difference in hashrate between the last 2 is negligible, so I’m usually skipping the <27 one and use the <31 more often.
And I lack time to play with it lately, so I’m sure I can do better finetuning than it is right now, but it’s satisfying for the current temperatures. If summer hits >31°C I’ll start sweating again, but not for ambient temps but for downtuning he rig again…
The straps and OC’s are from @ss-silver
<27 straps and OC’s Core 1010 Mem 960
<31 straps and OC’s Core 960 Mem 900
I think that’s a bug in HiveOS; if you have ever had other gpu like rx580 in the same rig and had set DPM state for that one, then replaced the gpu by a Vega, the DPM state is still there.
You can do 2 things:
Restore that other gpu and remove it’s DPM setting, and restore the Vega afterward.
Or more easy, note down all your other OC’s (you have a print screen here already), then go to the Overclocking TAB and click the Reset All button. This will remove all OC’s so also the DPM state. After that, just enter the OC’s again which you have noted or print-screened.
Holy *** that’s a nice finding!
I truly love your experiments!
Yes, that is indeed pretty straight forward; but what makes decide TRM to choose e.g. 448 one time, and next time 472 or 592 as the gpu straps and oc’s didn’t change. @aminer also mentioned temperature; but it would still be interesting to know what influences it as the temperature is the only thing I can’t control (entirely).
haha I am just glad someone enjoys all the pictures I post
Working on my “worst Samsung vega” today, and found something interesting…
GPU 3 here has been throwing invalids with every strap i’ve tried and all the way down to 960 mem, went back to the strap from the TRM guide and hit 24 hours with no invalids at 960. Slowly started changing each setting from the TRM strap to the levels I run on my best cards, and found what was causing the invalids was the RRDL?!
Stock Samsungs have a RRDL value of 5, TRM guide suggest turning it down to 4 but most straps have it set to 6 since setting this value to 6 increases hash by about 0.1- 0.2Mh
after 12 hours at 100%, changed RRDL from 4 to 6 and got 2 invalids in 90 minutes, using this
amdmemtweak --RC 37 --RAS 20 --REF 65535 --RRDL 6 --RRDS 3 --RCDRD 12
stress testing that value by only changing RRDL in my normal strap and pushing mem to 1027, 3 hrs so far at 100%
amdmemtweak --CL 20 --RC 37 --RP 11 --WR 14 --CWL 8 --FAW 12 --RAS 20 --REF 65535 --RFC 248 --RTP 5 --RRDL 4 --RRDS 3 --WTRL 9 --WTRS 4 --RCDRD 12 --RCDWR 12
Hello guys!
This is my AMD rig:
GPU 0 - Reference Vega 64
GPU 1 - Asus Vega 64
GPU 2&3 - Gainward Vega 64
GPU 4 - Gigabyte Vega 56
I’m ending the set up of the straps, so I dont post them yet, but there’s nothing special, just step by step and slow work. RRDL at 5 for all cards up to now.
I’m really enjoying this kind of job, Nvidia 3000s are more much boring! lol
But the only I don’t understand, its why there’s that big difference of temperature between both gainward cards, similar power consumption, and new thermal pads for both… 11 celcius is a world!
Any idea?
And then there’s the ICU…
This card is not working fine, so it was mining @ 44MH/s with no straps for the moment. With ss-silver straps now it’s mining @ 49MH/s and still stable.
amdmemtweak --RC 38 --RAS 26 --REF 21000 --RRDL 4 --RRDS 3 --RCDRD 12
It’s a reference GB Vega 56, and fan won’t work over 40%, so it gets so hot. I think I will try to connect the fan to the motherboard or molex, because with better temps i would probably be able to put decent straps.
This is happening since i clean up this oxide:
Hope dont go worse.
So thanks for the straps =D
i have on my 3 ref 56 same oc on all, with proper cooling i can run them mem1020 vdd815 core 1100

These gives around 55.4mh
Did one new ref card´s paste, i didnt had in hand any pads, only 1,5mm pad for the small chip that is a bit low on the board.
Show us your rig or rig´s! 
Thanks again for this great finding!
For the purpose of testing, this morning I also lowered it to 4 on my 2 Vega’s that kept crashing in B-mode and you know what? Now already 4h30 up and counting!!
After 24h test I’ll start lowering their clocks and mems too so their temps decrease to the same level as the others 
Must test that 1027 too one of these days 
Nice!
I’d rather not post on YouTube myself, but maybe we could start a thread somewhere in the hive forums if it doesn’t exist yet?
Also curious about all your setups
When repasting the GPU/HBM I have noticed that when remounting the cooler, you have to really really tighten the screws or there can indeed be a big difference. I haven’t had as high as 11°C though, but had up to 6 to 7°C in the past which disappeared after repasting again and tightening.
Don’t know if your issues are related, but might be worth investigating.
First rig in video, dungeon´s is 6x rx570 ±180mh. PSU 850W.
Second rig is 7x vega´s 56/64 ± 430mh. 1600W + 750W.
Small on the floor is new, bought used mb for 60eur had all other components with 1x rx580 and bought 1xref vega56…that is still not ready. ±83mh 750W.
Fourth rig is 4x rx590 + 3x rx580 ± 220mh. 1350W.
When normal temps these produce about 930mh.
On vega and 5xx rigs there is H110 pro btc MB´s. 6x570 have some older asrock and "new"one is Asus something with 4x pcie without splitters.
Total from the wall is around 3,5kW.
Yeah, i understand youtube etc, thats fine, maybe just a photo would be good if someone want to share , it goes on the side with some random post 
You sure? That’s about 61.4MH/s per Vega. Then you’ve found some amazing straps that you haven’t told us yet 
I’ll see what I can do
right…8x vega´s on that one 
@Smining570 thats sick
I just got these two little guys, the custom server box one looks cooler but runs cards about 2-3 c hotter due to limited spacing between the cards.
wery clean, i love the box fans, havent found right size so ordered one floor fan for hot days. So in server box they run hotter, those are delta fans,right? must be really good rig that one, wouldnt mind to get one really nice
