    Sapphire R9 390 8GB Hawaii

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 01:12 AM PDT

    Hey guys, have this card, had it for gaming but it went bad - still able to mine with it.

    Noticed Anorak site is down? Maybe I'm wrong.

    This card draws a lot of power. Afterburner and trixx can't reduce voltage. They locked?

    Thanks

    Strange 1070 issue switching from mboard to riser

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 05:33 PM PDT

    So I've been hobby mining and gaming with this setup since Feb. 2018.

    gigabyte 990fxaud3 am3+ mobo

    phenom 2 x4 965 black edition

    16 gb ddr3 ram

    evga 1070 superclocked edition

    evga 1060 3gb superclocked edition

    3x gigabyte windforce oc 1060 3gb

    win7 sp1

    5 cards total with the 1070 plugged direct onto mboard and other 4 running off risers. Everything runs perfect in this format but heres the issue:

    I use awesome miner to deactivate the 1070 when I get home and want to game. I game while 1060s are hashin away but I decided I dont need the 1070 for gaming when a 1060 will do me just fine so when I try to swap the 1070 for a 1060, everything still runs perfect with the exception that windows cant "see" the 1070 which is now on a riser. I switch it back and windows sees the 1070 fine as long as its plugged direct into mboard.

    (the 1070 basically hashes as much as 2 of the 1060s so I'm anxious to make this work)

    I've quadruple checked all risers and cards. All work as they should. Could it be a driver issue if the 1070 games and mines flawless as soon as its plugged back into mboard?

    suggestions?

    EDIT: evga 850 watt psu

    MSI ab: usually on rvn so no overclock, just 80% power and 75% fan for cooling

    EDIT 2: Solved! It was a riser but the 1060's ran perfect on same riser. 1st batch of risers was Volador brand, came in sketchy pkg and 1 was failed with brown gunk in power plugin right outta the box. I had another box unopened, brand is Bermunavy, was saving to eventually build out my Asus B250. The Bermunavy risers were pristinely packed with a card welcoming amazon comments and were gleaming shiny relative to the sketchy Voladors so I thought what the hell, gave one a try and bingo. So theres something I've neither seen or heard throughout a year of mining...a cheap riser may be able to run a 1060 but not a 1070.

    Why do I need atikmdag even after restoring to original (saved) bios?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 10:01 AM PDT

    I have some cards (RX 480 8GB, RX 570 4GB and RX 580 4GB) that I mined with for a few months, and now want to revert them for gaming. I had flashed modded bios onto them for mining so the first thing I did was restore the original saved bios to all the cards. I did a fresh Windows install and installed the latest (19.4.3) AMD drivers, but the cards aren't recognized properly unless I use atikmdag-patcher (i.e. Windows reverts to the basic driver same as when I've got the modded bios).

    I understand that the AMD drivers check the bios and if it detects that there was a bios mod it won't let me use the card. However, why would this still be the case after restoring the original bios? Is there some 'no going back' flag that's set when a bios is flashed/restored that the driver can still detect? Is there a way to get the cards working without having to resort to atikmdag? I mean, the cards work fine but updates are a pain in the butt, and I'm also just really curious as to what's happening under the hood.
