Any more tips. I’m running the above setup with the given strap. I’m running 4 vega 56s on trm getting 49mh. I changed the memory clock to 935 as 950 rebooted. It ran for 7 hours before a reboot so I’m guessing I’m nearly there with it? Any help would be appreciated.
this is super helpful been looking for solution for my vega 56 for about a week now and i found this. just follow the instruction and BOOM! stable all the way
So, I’m going to try and note all the problems I had with the rig onwards. Maybe some will find that instructive.
My GPU 4 is problematic. Sometimes TRM will show its dead and restart. Thats not a problem. Maybe 2 minute of mining time lost. But what is a problem is that sometimes it will get: “Autofan: GPU temperature 511 is unreal, driver error” error which will force a restart and it will not show up. I’ll have to manually restart a few times for it to show up.
possible solution: I’ve downgraded the BIOS to an older version. Same MH/s, same OC, same straps. 24h for now and ZERO problems.
Hello and thank you for posting this information, it’s helped me set up my vega and get it stable.
I am also running into " GPU 0: detected DEAD (03:00.0), will execute restart script watchdog.sh" from Team RedMiner. Do you know if there is a way to correct this or we just have to live with it?
I am completely new to mining and HiveOS, but if the rig reboots, do you need to reapply the flight sheet or overclock settings? I think mine is holding the configs but it is hard for me to tell if it is active.
If you are only running 1 GPU, do you still need straps? or would that only need applied if you add a second card?
You can easily do it under Overclocking in your Rig menu its pretty self explainatory once you are there
however for me nothing of the above works i have a few ellesmere cards on the same rig and no matter what i do i get 00MHS on the Vega and the miner crashes,
i applied the straps i flashed it to 56 but doesnt do anything…
I wanted to give my thanks to all who have provided great information in this thread. I was able to get one of my old Vega 56 mining rigs up and running with incredible output.
I can probably pull some more power from the card but I’m happy with the output, and the current rate of ETH outweighs cost of power (minimal, thanks to solar array).
I have 2 more Vega 56 running with same ROM, same straps and similar OC settings using TeamRedMiner on a liquid-cooled Windows rig. Currently hashing at 56 Mh/s on both cards. This setup is temporary until I can get a new GPU as this is my primary gaming rig. The pair of Vega 56s on the gaming rig aren’t doing it for us.
In a few weeks, I’ll be setting up a new mining area in my house where I can bring all 3 of my rigs together (Vega 56 rig, Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 rig, and an EVGA 1080 Ti rig). Should see some good results here soon.
