System doesn't properly start with modded AMD BIOS

AMD Cards
#1

Hi,

i have rx570 cards in my system with a modded BIOS, HIVEOS doesn’t start on this rigs, any idea ?

this is what i see in the kernel log :

This difficult to say anything without additional info
First at all flash stock BIOS then try boot Hive

Also you can get help here - http://forum.hiveos.farm/discussion/390/proshivka-bios-amd

#3

with the stock bios : rig01-6-RadeonRX570-4G-Samsung_K4G41325FE-113-D0003400_100.rom

everything worked correct, only after is flashed this one : Powercolor.RX570.4096.170330.rom

it doesn’t come up anymore

#4

just flashed back the stock ROM and it comes back up normal, so its clearly caused by the other ROM

#5

the reason i started flashing the ROM is because i get very bad hashrate, just ~20 . can somebody share a ROM that is known to work with this card ?

#6

i give you link where can help you, see above

#7

i don’t speak russian unfortunate and while there are many links i can’t see one that is for this card :

Radeon RX 570 4096M
Samsung K4G41325FE, 113-D0003400_100

i would appreciate a link to the file if you have one.

thanks

#8

attach your stock BIOS

#9

#11

~30mh/s

#12

i got 29, much better than before thanks.
could you share what exactly you changed in the rom and what version of SW you used to do that so i can do this for my remaining cards (2 models of 580’s) .

thanks

#13

if you can’t share how you did that, can you please fix these 2 other roms too :

rx580 type 1: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jU8dN0M75BtNkZZBQYsSVrBmIFb7obEN
rx580 type 2 : https://drive.google.com/open?id=10bz_cZ3YKGFNgzeAp0KaNvvoc9TTBdgw

thanks a lot for your help

@oehmes:

  1. Increase max memory clock to 2350MHz
  2. Decrease memory voltage to 875 and set core voltage on P6 and P7 equal to P5’s 65286
  3. Apply the timings found in PBE 1.6.7
#15

that was very helpful , i was able to change all the settings. any specific settings i need to still put into the AMD OC fields, or do i leave all that empty ?

thx

#16

@brnfex since flashing the 580’s the rig reboots every 2-3 hours , could it be that the settings are to aggressive ? what would you change and on which of the 2 models ?

#17

You need to tweak your memory overclock and core voltage. There is no universal solution to this.

#18

@brnfex sorry for all the questions i only started recently with all this. when you way play with overclock and core voltage, is that something i would adjust in the bios or is this just setting the upper limits and i would use the HIVE AMD OC Panel to then adjust max per CPU ?

thx. Sven

#19

On BIOS level you only need a timings mod, nothing else. Since Hive 0.5-54 you can adjust all clocks and voltages without having to hardcode them onto your bios. Good starting point would be 1150MHz core, 2000MHz memory and 950mV voltage. Work your way up or down on memory depending on stability, after 2-3 days when you are 100% stable - start lowering the voltage.

#20

i didn’t have any settings in the AMD OC page i guess thats why it was unstable, the temperature was very high as was the fan speed. i just reduced the voltage now and everything is cooler and less fan speed. i will monitor this now and follow your advice.

thanks a lot !
