Question GIGABYTE 5700 XT Bios mod fails

[AlleyCat]

Hi,
I am failing to update Gigabyte 5700 XT. The same procedure updates the BIOS on MSI cards with no problem. I follow the instructions on Igors Lab.

The sign of having trouble with the card bios flash shows in GPU-Z. After flash using amdvbflash the values of GPU and memory frequencies is empty. With stock bios there are Mhz frequencies.

Is there any known problems with flashing Gigabyte cards?
Any suggestions on what other forums I may ask for assistance?
Is it possible that the OEM bios is signed, and any modified bios will be rejected?
If the bios is signed, any tools to resign, or would I need to buy a card from a different vendor?

Thanks,

Alley Cat

This is the final power table locked at 124 watt for any card as below,

- Under Features tab enable all the overdive features,

- Under Overdrive Limits tab, set:
GFX Maximum Clock 1440 MHz
Memory Maximum Clock 960 MHz
Under Power and Voltages, set:
Maximum Voltage GFX 800 mv
Maximum Voltage SoC 1200 mv
Minimum Voltage GFX 750 mv
Minimum Voltage SoC 750 mv
Power Limit GPU 124 W
TDC Limit GFX 137 A
TDC Limit SoC 12 A
Zero RPM Control 1

- Under Frequency tap, set:
GFX Maximum 1440 MHz
Memory DPM 3 - 950 MHz

- Under Fan tab, set:
Fan Target Temperature 88° C
Zero RPM Enable - YES
Stop Temperature 60° C
Start Temperature 70° C

Down here is the recommended fan speed for the cards model belw,
~ MSI Gaming:
Fan Acoustic Limit 1500 RPM
Fan Throttling Limit 2000 RPM
~ Gigabyte Gaming:
Fan Acoustic Limit 2400 RPM
Fan Throttling Limit 2400 RPM
~ Sapphire Pulse:
Fan Acoustic Limit 1550 RPM
Fan Throttling Limit 3200 RPM

HiveOS stable settings are below, you can choose the one that you see fit, any decreasing yield to instability for the long run, the chip quality still play a role here, you can increase the voltages values by 5 mv in case the chip quality is average and a crash happened at the long,

Core Clock @ VDD
1440 MHz @ 800 mv,
1430 MHz @ 790 mv,
1400 MHz @ 770 mv,
1370 MHz @ 750 mv,

Memory Clock @ VDDCI & MVDD
960 MHz @ 800 mv & 1350 mv,
950 MHz @ 790 mv & 1340 mv,
935 MHz @ 780 mv & 1315 mv,
930 MHz @ 775 mv & 1310 mv,
925 MHz @ 775 mv & 1305 mv,
920 MHz @ 770 mv & 1295 mv,
915 MHz @ 765 mv & 1290 mv
910 MHz @ 760 mv & 1280 mv,
900 MHz @ 750 mv & 1270 mv,

Fan 50% or AutoFan Mode.

The card keeps crashing when using the Power table above.

The card keeps crashing when using the Power table above.

I updated it now to 130 watt, please check it.

 

[Mini_Me]

The card keeps crashing when using the Power table above.

It seems that the card with blower fan consumes less power which proofs that cards with more cooling fans needs more power,

each fan needs 0.2 A and 12 v
Power (Watt) = Current (Ampere) * Voltage (Volt)
0.2 A * 12 V = 2.4 Watt
2 fans: 2.4 * 2 = 4.8 Watt plus Led lighting,
then approximately 5 Watts extra is needed and already added,

plus 2 Watt for each vram, total of 8 = 16 Watt,

In addition to that the main reason for the previous power table failure seems due to the gap between the minimum and maximum values of the core clock they forced it to be at least 100 mv, I was trying to force changing the power curve however unfortunately it seems not possible.

Now the updated power table should work fine.

 

[AlleyCat]

The card keeps crashing, even at 130W max.

 

[Mini_Me]

The card keeps crashing, even at 130W max.

Alright, I returned it to 140 watt, please read the parameters again as a couple of changes were made as well in addition to the increased power.

 

[Mini_Me]

The card keeps crashing, even at 130W max.

Is the 140 watt power table working fine now?

 

[AlleyCat]

The card is working with the latest Power Table but I am getting an errors. The new table returns different performance than the table I used for testing.

Here are the values for the table that I tested. Let's make incremental changes only to values that you think are important to change.


- Under Overdrive Limits tab, set:
GFX Maximum Clock 1600 MHz
Memory Maximum Clock 1000 MHz

- Under Power and Voltages, set:
Maximum Voltage GFX 900 mv
Maximum Voltage SoC 1200 mv
Minimum Voltage GFX 650 mv
Minimum Voltage SoC 750 mv
Power Limit GPU 140 W
TDC Limit GFX 140 A
TDC Limit SoC 12 A
Zero RPM Control 1

- Under Frequency tap, set:
GFX Maximum 1200 MHz
SoC Maximum (MHz) 1150
SoC Minimum (MHz) 550
Memory DPM 3 - 950 MHz

- Under Fan tab, set:
Fan Target Temperature 87° C
Zero RPM Enable - YES
Stop Temperature 70° C
Start Temperature 80° C

Down here is the recommended fan speed for the cards model belw,
~ MSI Gaming:
Fan Acoustic Limit 1500 RPM
Fan Throttling Limit 2000 RPM
~ Gigabyte Gaming:

This is the error message I am getting now consistently with the MSI GPU.

Please check it in windows as well, if it working fine then perhaps the kernel of the HiveOS needs an update.

And let us revert the Zero RPM Control to 0 as it is not working is HiveOS.

I believe the Zero RPM Control is the reason for this message as it seems is not supported in HiveOS.

The latest power table was good, the only thing to change is to revert the Zero RPM Control to the default 0.

Hello,
I own sapphire 5700 XT nitro+ (not sure what memory type, I have both options K4Z80325BC and MT61K256M32)
I am using windows 10 and not HiveOs since its a gaming pc (I game on performance bios and mine in the silent one).
I read all 18 pages of the discussion and tried to apply the apple memory tweaks (without mpt).
trying to mine using these settings crashed after about 15 mins (using claymore)

I should mention I also tried copying 1550Mhz timings to 1750Mhz/1800Mhz etc. and was able to gain stability around 53.9Mh/s.
core clock - 1450Mhz, voltage - 850mV, memory clock - 1796Mhz, power consumption 105W

I hope the card could perform better. any suggestions ?

Hello,

I will update you whenever it is possible, when mining in windows is different from mining in HiveOS, you can not use the same settings of HiveOS in windows,

Regards

 

[Mini_Me]

I am getting errors even after turning the Zero RPM Control to 0.

If the errors still exist, reflash the original vbios and check the card again in HiveOS, if HiveOS still report errors then check the card with the original vbios in windows 10.

 

[AlleyCat]

Very well, How about the settings from before below,

For Msi card only, reflash the original bios first and after that only apply the below,

- Under Overdrive Limits tab, set:
GFX Maximum Clock 1600 MHz
Memory Maximum Clock 1000 MHz

- Under Power and Voltages, set:
Maximum Voltage GFX 900 mv
Maximum Voltage SoC 1200 mv
Minimum Voltage GFX 750 mv
Minimum Voltage SoC 750 mv
Power Limit GPU 140 W
TDC Limit GFX 140 A
TDC Limit SoC 12 A

- Under Frequency tap, set:
GFX Maximum 1200 MHz
Memory DPM 3 - 950 MHz

Apple straps for vram timings.

This Power table for the MSI works well. The card is responsive to changes of parameters, and it works steady.

What is the difference between the MSI card and other cards?
