Also there are ready BIOS for most popular AMD models. But it should remember You will do this by your own risk. Although the most of RX gpus have dual bios so modding primary without modding secondary is enough safe
Title: Re: Why should I do bios modding to my gpu? Post by: xxcsu on December 22, 2017, 05:24:51 PM would not suggest to use any modded bios you can download from the internet , the main reason for this bc for the same card with the same model number can have 5-6 different bios version ...
exception if you know your bios version number, and the modded bios version exactly the same !!! When ppl doing this mistake , they coming back to this forum and keep asking why my rig froze up all the time , why my cards hashing speed going down , why my pool side reporting is much lower than what my mining software telling me ... What are the advantages of doing it? There is a lot of advantage to modding ur bios , but you need to know what you doing , most ppl calling bios mod , when they changing mem straps in any bios editor software :) thats not the real bios modding ;) Advantage with a properly modded bios , fine tuned cards : - Much less power consuption - Much higher hash rate - lower gpu temperature - lower card temerature , slower fan speed , quieter rig - less heat on components - longer hardware life :) Disadvatge : - you can say good bye to your warranty ;) |
