Over 20mins with heaven on loop and these are my wattman settings.

I was initially having a lot of consistent black screen crashes on my system assuming due to compatibility issues, but rectified that by changing the pcie slot from 4.0 to 3.0 and it was instantly stable. I then did the flash and have recently tried playing around with clock speeds and voltage. After the flash I get the feeling it is close to the ceiling as far as clocking goes and was only able to squeeze 2015mhz out of it but then had to drop back down to 2000mhz for stability. With the clock at 2000mhz I have now been able to drop voltage back down into the ~1100mv region when at 10mins on heaven it was sitting low-mid 60’s on temp even with my very aggressive fan curve. Custom fan curve was also another issue I am running into. No matter where I set the curve it must be locked into the card to overwrite it with the 0db fan and they won’t start spinning until 60c where my custom curves kick into full swing. Anything immediately after the custom curves are accepted but once the temps drop back down and fans stop spinning takes it to get back to 60c for them to even start again. I have tried this in wattman and afterburner both with similar results. My preference is to have the fans spinning on low speed even on idle.

For those looking to do this mod. I found it quite easy albeit with a bit of research and educating myself. Attached is the card I flashed and before and after results. Results are “out of box” and no extra settings other than fan curve had been applied. Thanks

Bump, anyone have any experiences with a flashed RX5700 to the XT variant and want to share the pros and cons? Thanks

You download the new bios from the manufacturer of your card. It will come with a proprietary installer or bios file. Every vendor will have a different version of the update. Best to wait for the next month or 3 for a new wave of cards to be shipped out. It will still pay to check VBIOS on arrival to verify it’s the most recent.

I was going to try avoid the power play table as to me seems like more effort then worth providing I can get a more permanent boost by using other methods. I am also not experienced with changing any registry values so would be my least confident method. Thank you for your reply and thanks for the extra line of thought as to which way I could go with it.

I am quite confident in what I am doing and being a dual bios card very assured I could recover from any potential bricked situation. I have already done research into the card and have already got the bios file which I will be using. I am just after some real world results before receiving the card and not sure which route to go. In all honesty if I don’t get a few unbiased responses I will just see where I get with a modest overclock in afterburner before doing the flash and do the research myself. I was just trying to save myself some time by asking here. Thank you for your reply.

Who here has flashed the RX5700 to the XT bios and what performance gains are you seeing? I am currently awaiting arrival of my red devil RX5700 and am considering wether to reflash or to just push an overclock. Truthfully speaking I will still also try OC a flashed bios but potentially not to the same extent. Just a 1080p gamer so will get good standard performance but also looking to get reasonable benchmarks. Thanks in advance

What RX5700/XT would you go and why? I have narrowed down the Red Devil, ASUS ROG Strix and the Taichi. Red Devil for its highly positive reviews and lower price Taichi for its looks Strix for its product success and my build is slightly ROG biased.

Hi, With the new year comes a new round of thoughts. I have been recently thinking about the auto boosting of Ryzen chips and power delivery of motherboards and PSU in particular. Now a train of thought I have been having is that would a higher end motherboard with dual 8pin CPU power along with a strong power supply assist in keeping A higher Boost for longer Compared to similar motherboard with lower end psu and single 8pin connected. Basically in a nutshell for best results is it beneficial to have mid to top end power delivery or is there a point of deminishing returns after a certain point and you could boost just as well with a budget psu and mobo? (Obviously eliminating the other variables like temps etc)

Hello all, could anyone with a Corsair Vengeance 750M confirm what plugs come with the PSU. I would like to power my Asus X570 Motherboard with the 8pin + 4pin. Are the 2x supplied motherboard plugs 4+4 or are they both straight 8 pin plugs? Thanks https://www.umart.com.au/Corsair-Vengeance-750W-80-+-Silver-Semi-Modular-Power-Supply--750M----CP-9020176-AU_51693G.html - PSU in question.

Thank you for the very swift reply. I thought that was the case but had a small hope that it was possible. Best case would be to just reinstall windows on the M.2 and leave the SSD with the bootable partition.

I am looking at getting a M.2 drive purely for my bootable drive. Problem is I have been using my current storage for a few months now and have a decent library of games/data that I don’t want to have to redownload/install. Is there a way to clone JUST the operating system portion of a drive or will I have to reinstall windows on the M.2 and then redownload all it’s updates? I hope this post makes sense but I want to make it simple but stay away from having any other data on the M.2 if possible. Thanks,

Thank you for the reply, it just seems like a gap in the market with all these new technologies display of system time or even CPU temps just seem like it could be a more common thing. Might have to go a new direction with my mods

Hi, long time lurker first time poster. I am looking to upgrade my build with some addressable RGB but just wondering with all that “programable” function is it possible to get it to display text (say system time or CPU temp?) Purely hyperthetical but those led desk fans that display text have just got me thinking. Thanks in advance.
