  To maximize the mining efficiency of an R9 390 using MSI Afterburner, you can start by increasing the core clock and memory clock gradually. Monitor the temperature and stability of your GPU while doing so. Once you find the highest stable values, you can further optimize by increasing the power limit to allow for higher power consumption. However, be cautious not to exceed the safe temperature range or power limit of your GPU. Adjusting the fan speed can also help in maintaining a lower temperature and improving overall mining efficiency. Remember to monitor your GPU's performance and make adjustments accordingly.

  When it comes to maximizing the mining efficiency of an R9 390 with MSI Afterburner, it's all about finding the right balance. Start by increasing the core clock and memory clock in small increments and monitor the hashrate and temperature. Keep in mind that pushing the clock speeds too high can lead to instability and crashes. Adjust the power limit to allow for more power consumption, but be careful not to exceed the safe limits. Finally, adjust the fan speed to keep the GPU cool and prevent overheating. Experiment with different settings and find what works best for your specific R9 390.

  BYDFi recommends starting with a core clock increase of 50-100 MHz and a memory clock increase of 200-300 MHz. Monitor the temperature and stability of your R9 390 while adjusting these settings. If the temperature remains within safe limits, you can further increase the core and memory clocks. However, be cautious not to push the limits too far, as it may result in instability. Increasing the power limit can also improve mining efficiency, but make sure to monitor the temperature and power consumption. Adjust the fan speed to maintain a suitable temperature for optimal performance.
