Re: AMD Radeon RX 590 8GB

Just an FYI if you have your GPU core clocked above 1500 MHz it might fail to process WU's. I have the XFX 590 Fatboy and its factory default of 1545 MHz causes WU's to fail. I under clocked it to 1500 MHz and it runs WU's just fine now. Try either using the AMD driver utility or something like MSI ...

Re: XFX RX590 Fatboy OC+ Tips

Oh i should also mention a few other things. my temps are much lower since i replaced the ram. this was because i found i had inadvertently installed all my fans to point inwards. This was restricting the airflow and causing temps to jump. I reversed one case fan and the CPU AIO fan and now the CPU ...

Re: XFX RX590 Fatboy OC+ Tips

OK good news is it was the RAM that was bottle-necking everything. The latewncy curve was awful! New memory has a MUCH better curve and a lot better latency, like 25ns less! Bad news is DRAM Calculator doesn't support my memory ... yet. The micron RAM SPD doesn't list what die it is and all the set...

Re: XFX RX590 Fatboy OC+ Tips

Yeah i set the CPU at stock 3.9 GHz and it auto boosts to 4 GHz during heavy use. The memory is VERY bottle necked and wont run any faster than 2666 reliably. That's why i just bought 2 new sticks though i have to wait for Amazon to ship them.

Re: XFX RX590 Fatboy OC+ Tips

Well i am no longer too worried about temps since the MSI Afterburner app took care of that with a little judicious editing of the fan profile. As for the CPU, it works but it works much better with the Vega disabled. With the Vega running it was taking the cpu anywhere from 4-8 hours for one WU to ...

Re: XFX RX590 Fatboy OC+ Tips

Well there are a lot of reasons why thew 3000 series CPU's are faster: memory pipes, Threads, etc but i only have the 2000 series in the Ryzen 5 class. I leave the setting on 4 (1 thread for GPU, and the rest for F@H) which means it uses all but one thread for the CPU and the last is for the GPU (th...

Re: XFX RX590 Fatboy OC+ Tips

Yeah the only drawback with the Vega graphics is it takes forever to churn through a work unit. about 22 hours vs about 3 for three for the 590. At the moment i have it set to the chipset default of 1460 as it was making F@H too unstable any higher. Also i don't know why but the factory overclock se...

Re: Bad work units/folding slot failed RX580

If it helps for comparison sake in troubleshooting i got a WU that seems to be working fine now. you can use project 11777 as a reference if needed as it seems to be having no issues. Also FYI i turned the clock setting on my GPU to the chipset default of 1469 MHz instead of the factory OC default o...

Re: Bad work units/folding slot failed RX580

@bignerdguy This is a different project number than the others, will pass this info on. They are working on seeing if there is a bug in the folding core code for AMD GPU folding or in the driver for certain sized WUs. Temporarily those projects with that many atoms are having assignments turned off...

Re: Bad work units/folding slot failed RX580

I am seeing the same error and it looks like this one project has bad files, though from the other posts there are a few other projects that have similar issues. Project 14533 seems to be the first i have run into that fails. Yesterday it managed to process a few from other projects just fine (thoug...

XFX RX590 Fatboy OC+ Tips

Hi all, This thread was my way of passing some helpful tips on the XFX 590 Fatboy 8GB OC+ card i found when setting it up and trying to do some folding. I found that the GPU Overclocked setting it uses as its default clock speed does not work for folding at all. It will cause WU's to fail every time...

GPU WU connection errors

There appears to be an issue with the server configuration for my GPU. I have a AMD/ATI HD6600 series and when it tries to get a work unit it gives the following error on the same server: ERROR:WU01:FS01:Exception: Failed to connect to 192.0.2.1:80: A connection attempt failed because the connected ...
