An Optimized Crypto Coin Mining System

Abstract

In this study, we will explain what settings the RX580 4GB AMD graphics card should be operated for in order to be able to perform Ethereum and Monero mining at high speed and with less energy consumption. Core and memory undervolting, core underclocking, memory overclocking and tightening memory timings are the techniques which are applied to the card. With the adjustments made, approximately 30 percent savings were achieved in electrical energy spent in Ethereum and Monero mining. Also, the mining speed increased by approximately 20 percent. It was measured that the temperature of the graphics card decreased by 10 degrees due to the decrease of the power drawn.
