I just switched my latest Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB to ZCash rig to mine ZCash, as i said in one of my post that you should consider to switch to ZCash because it is very profitable, for now.
ethOS released an update with silentarmy miner that will increase your hashing speed twice faster, read more here
Curious about the results? Check this 2 screenshots, one is with the profit while mining Etherem (ETH) and the second one is for ZCash (ZEC)
So if you decide to upgrade your ethOS to mine ZCash at full speed follow the instructions in this tutorial
Here is my configuration file:
maxgputemp 85
stratumproxy enabled
proxywallet yourwalletkey
proxypool1 eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333
proxypool2 us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333
flags –cl-global-work 16384 –farm-recheck 200
globalpowertune 4
globaldriver amdgpu
custompanel mypanemypass
autoreboot true
globalminer zcash-miner
mem rigid 2200 2200 2200 2200 2200 2200
fan rigid 35 35 35 35 35 35
You can try mem to 2225 but mine wasn’t that stable there so i wen down a bit.

Good luck!
UPDATE: November 19, 2016
New ethOS update, increase your 480s rig with 180+ H/s per GPU! Around 780 H/s – 800 H/s per 6x rig.
- Update ethOS by typing this command in terminal: sudo repair-ethos-update && sudo ethos-update && sleep 5 && r
- Access “nano local.conf“
- Replace “globalminer zcash-miner” with “globalminer optiminer-zcash“
- reboot
- That’s it!
UPDATE: January 8, 2017
Update now to the latest ethOS version 1.1.8, this will increase hashing power from 800 H/s to 1300+ H/s.
Also there was a major change, they have added claymore as global miner, after the update you can replace “globalminer optiminer-zcash” with “globalminer claymore-zcash”
- Update ethOS by typing this command in terminal: sudo repair-ethos-update && sudo ethos-update && sleep 5 && r
- Access “nano local.conf“
- Replace “globalminer optiminer-zcash” with “globalminer claymore-zcash“
- reboot
- That’s it!
UPDATE: January 25, 2017
New with ethOS 1.1.9:
- Updated claymore-zcash to 11.1, resulting in faster zcash hashrates
- Updated optiminer-zcash to 1.4.0, resulting in faster zcash hashrates
- Updated sgminer to 5.5.5, resulting in better stability for XMR mining
To update to the latest version type in terminal the following command: “sudo repair-ethos-update && sudo ethos-update && sleep 5 && r”
Ill recommend to use Claymore miner, i had the best results with it from all of my tests.
Previous hashrate: 1,300 H/s
Current hashrate: 1,550-+ H/s
You will get somewhere around 255 – 275 , depends what manufacturer you have!
i will be back with more details soon.
I updated my ethOS distro to mine zcash but one or two of my cards will start hashing and then after about 10 minutes the average drops to zero.
Any ideas?
Hi Gary,
What cards you have? Have you overclocked? try with stock settings first..
2 MSI RX 480 8GB Armor OC
2 XFX RX 480 8GB XXX
Was worse at stock level. The only thing that kept 2 cards up was the line globalmem 2150
Hmm.. Maybe there is a riser problem ? Is one particular card that keeps crashing every time ?
As you can see i was able to overclock to maximum 2200 (on ETH), but there was one card (4th) that was unstable as hell, i fixed it by changing the mem to 2100, now i have:
Ethereum
mem 89d8ee 2200 2200 2200 2100 2200 2200
ZCash
mem 89d8ee 2225 2225 2225 2225 2225 2225
I recommend you to test it again with stock settings and if crashes again try different risers. If stable try increasing the mem ONLY to 2100, if stable for 6 hours then try 2150, 2200,2250 etc.. (if a card is crashing lower mem for that card only,if you have a mem 2150 to all cards then change back to 2100 for the failure card only)
What MB,PSU do you have?
Any update on this just looking for how many hashs a rx 480 gets as of now
Hi, one RX 480 can have 300 – 350 h/s, depends on overclock and if modded bios.
Really that’s it cause my asus r9 280x get 299/h mining Zcash
Yes, and after a quick research an RX 480 8Gb can hit
R9 280x isn’t as efficient (watts per hashes) as the RX 480, though.
Hi, very helpfull your site!
Is there any difference in terms of hash rate between rx 480 8G and 4G?
Hi, yes it can be a difference but minimal..
I have some problem.. i use saphire nitro + rx 480 8gb. And i have follow all instruction to mod bios. And i use crimson 16.9.1 if im not wrong. And if i use andrenaline 18.1.1 with compute. All of bios cant detect my vga. Any help? Using standart bios only get 24 mhz. Thnx before
Have you also tried the drivers for blockchain compute ?

Awesome! Thank you for the guide!
