R7 240 bios mod/overclocking

Go to solution Solved by 79 Potatoes,

Hello, I have an r7 240 2gb laying around and i decided to see how much I can overclock it just for fun. I am using msi afterburner in unofficial overclocking mode and am now stuck on the core clock, as you can see in the image I posted.

My memory is as far as it can go before it causes instability. I cannot get the voltage unlocked.

I have dumped the bios and it is a256kb file. RBE cannot open it, as it says it is an incompatible BIOS.

 

I was wondering if anybody could tell me if there is anothe BIOS mod tool for this card?

VBE7 for those cards. It will let you change the GPU voltage too.

atiflash to apply the rom, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP

 

If you manage to get around 1250 MHz on the core you'll reach similar performance to a R7 250 :P

you have to specify -6 (thats for nvflash tho) or whatever flag that tells the tool to force update

I haven't tried to flash it yet- I just want to open the .rom file to view it. it wont even open the file for modification or viewing.
