rx 580 4gb elpida Bios Mod for Mining

[Newbie0]

Hi everyone,

 

A few days back I got 2 Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 4gb (elpida) GPU. I've seen many people on internet modding their bios & getting a better hashrate than before. As I'm new to bios modding, I tried to download some modded bios. But, it seemed the SKU value is different in all cases. For my model the SKU is-11265-07-41G. Rather than having this SKU value I've found 11265-07-20G in all modded bios on the internet. The fun fact is when I click LOOKUP in GPU-Z it refers me to a web page of 11265-07-20G SKU number.

 

Would this be a problem if I apply those modded bios?

 

I've also found different bios for different Algo. Such as, for ETH there's a different bios & for XMR their is a different bios.

I'll mine with Nicehash. Currently Nicehash has selected DaggerHashimoto for my card. It(the algo) may change overtime.

 

So, how can I tell which bios mod is best suitable for different types of algo?

 

I'll play games in my desktop. So, it would be better to have a non-aggressive modded bios.(Can I really play games using modded bios?)

 

Is there any good Tutorial regarding bios modding  & is there any chance that the GPU may degrade in time(3-4 years)? Some redditor claimed that their GPU degraded in a few weeks.

 

 

Thank you All.
