I can't remember what site it was (maybe a German one?) that tested the IPC of Fiji vs Vega and it was virtually the same take or add a few %.

That is quite sad really, I had high hopes for Vega.

GamersNexus did, however their testing was flawed. Vega likes to be clocked in steps, outside of those steps performance is significantly worse. Example at a core clock of 1200MHz, I was getting 28-31Mh/s, at 852MHz I was getting 36. I'm getting 42 right now at 1137MHz, 1100MHz HBC2 and hbcc segmentation enabled.

I'm sure this has been asked before but can't find any post about it, so here goes..

I've not been messing with the voltages on my GPUs until now, and am trying to use Wattman to adjust the voltages but they don't look like they are changing (or at least not past a certain voltage as I do see a drop in the rig Wattage use).

When monitoring with GPU-Z (or HWinfo) the voltages do not change (I see a dip then it jumps back up) - I have a Windows 7 x64 setup running the 17.7.1 drivers and the volages do change on that setup (as seen in Afterburner & GPU-Z).

Is it not possible to change the GPU voltages with the new AMD blockchain drivers ?



I've changed to mining Monero (with the Claymore XMR miner) so do I really need the new blockchain drivers for Monero and if not can I re-install the 17.7.1 drivers to enable voltage changing - I hate changing the drivers as something always gets screwed up ?

Thanks.

Yes, that's why I'm curious. It'd have been fine if it was 50 Watts increase in power, but jumping from 450 Watts to 600 Watts is really ridiculous, specially for a new bronze Corsair power supply.



I'm going to open up my PSU, GPU's, whole system and suck some dust through the stuff through a light vacuum cleaner. Let's see what happens.



just did the exactly same operation yesterday

cleaned all radiators form my watercooling system

as result my temps dropped about 10 celius, that is a huge drop for me

now it is much better and quiter

just did the exactly same operation yesterdaycleaned all radiators form my watercooling systemas result my temps dropped about 10 celius, that is a huge drop for menow it is much better and quiter

Guys, I'm really going to suck the dust through vacuum cleaner and going to apply the thermal paste.



But I'm going to totally open the GPU for the first time, don't have much of idea. Have few questions regarding the thermal paste.



1. Could putting thermal paste damage the GPU in any way? Is there any chance of getting it damaged?

2. Is it safe if I put some excessive thermal paste on the GPU?

3. If there's any factory-applied thermal paste on the GPU, can I remove it using a cotton/tissue and then apply the new thermal paste?



Any answer would be appreciated.

Unfortunately you are not going to be the first man attempting this task.

This thread is for Claymore miner. You are better off copying your questions and pasting it into Google search.

You will see answers right away.

That should have been your first thought and taking into account that you did not do that I would strongly advise you not to touch your cards at all.

choose new Kernel and its done!
