How to find a GPU physically on the ring

@AIVAVIA is right, set up GPU fan speed individually within your HIVE OS settings and put one at 100%, that way you can physically look at each fan and see which one is ‘buzzing it’s nuts off’ and that way you will know the physical location. Do yourself a favour, when you find out which is which, print out labels saying Hive OS 00 = 01 RX580 and HIVE OS 01 = 02 RX580 and so on. Cut out and stick on GPU card with sallotape. That way in future you know which is which without having to repeat the fan test. I did this with a Dymo Labeller and now it acts as a reference for what backup Bios and what position in HIVE OS my GPU is.

Hi, I wanted to follow up on the fan trick to identify which GPU on the rig. Is this method safe? I meant when in the middle of mining, is changing all the fan down to 50 (except for 1) safe to perform?

" gpu-fans-find — spin GPU fans from the first card to the last to make it easier to find the required GPU. You can specify the card number, then the fans will start on it. If the worker starts up correctly, it’s quite easy to track which card corresponds to which bus. For example, if the GPU0 card has a 01:00.0 bus and you want to find it, use the command gpu-fans-find 0. This command will spin up the fans only on this card for a while. And so on, following the example. "
