i was trying to unlock the SP and found a guide on the internet but i forgot to take the backup of the original bios cause i'm an idiot and when i flashed the new bios and restarted the pc it didn't boot not even posting, i don't have on-board graphic so i can't flash it, i found a 2nd hand gtx1060 so i'm using it now but i wanted to bring that rx 460 back to life cause i'm trying to build a 2nd system using secondhand parts

 

thanks in advance and i'm not very smart when it comes to pc so please don't be mean

1060 is significantly better than the RX 460, why would you want to get it back?

well do you have a motherboard with two slots for GPUs?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Your best hopes are to use a Freedos USB and find the bios for it with ATIFLASH. If you can't do this, you maybe toast.

Perfect. Plug in the second PCI your rx 460. Then you will be able to flash it back.

That should work. Just find the original bios (if your lucky enough).
