I did everything I could think of formatted pc, DDU driver, different versions of driver, riser change, HDD change, PCI slot change. NOTHING fixes this problem. I am using MSI rx 480 8gb. ASIC value is at 70% and above.
Try to Run your cards at factory settings, that means flashing back stock BIOS, and reverting to stock clocks. If the cards are stable, theres your problem. its usually high overclocks or tooo tight timings in the BIOS mod.
If that doesent work, replace the card, then replace the riser. If neither of those work, switch around the risers on the PCIe slots to see if a particular PCIe slot is causing the failure, which could mean a faulty PCIe slot on the motherboard.
Also, change your attitude, if you whine about the community being unhelpful, its a self fulfilling prophecy. Your EXACT problem has been encountered and reported by no less than a 100 people here, and NOTHING that I or anyone else will share now has not been said before ... if only every new poster could bother to spend the time needed to look for solutions already posted.
Question for the experienced manipulator of GPU card parameters. I want to retain my ETH mining rate on my Sapphire rx 470 8g cards but lower the power. I have played with the voltages on the memory and GPU and figured out where they run stable. My question is around the GPU clock and memory clock settings. I have the GPU set at 1150 based on some posts I read, but am I trying to get it as low as possible to reduce power? My memory is set at 2050 and should I being trying to raise that up as much as possible? Won't that elevate my power consumption? I have a Mod'd bios on my cards to reduce overall power use. But I am wanting to more fully understand the objective around changing the clock speeds. Any insight would be appreciated.
Seems like you already have found stable voltages for Core and Memory. I am assuming this was at stock clocks? I am also assuming you ahve modded your bios memory timings already. I recommend having core and memory both set at the lowest volts that you can get your memory to work on (because they will each use the higher of the two anyways).
Then you reduced core and increased memory, are those stable at the voltages you figured out earlier? Did the power draw now go up or down?
The next step would be to introduce a voltage offset for the core in a tool like watttool Because you increased Memory clocks you can not reduce the volts to it, infact you may need to increase them if higher memory clocks arent stable. Then because you lowered core, do not change the core volts but put in an offset, lets say -50mv (directly changing core volts to below memory volts will make no difference) and see if that is stable. Repeat with a lower value till you hit the lowest stable setting.
Remember, with every change in clocks the volts needed for it to be stable would also change so its a hit and try to find the perfect balance.
