Title: Brand New MSI Vega 56 - Hynix Memory - Need Help modding
Post by: kenbeannet on January 25, 2018, 11:04:44 PM
The long theory that Vega was switching from Samsung to Hynix to speed up production of the cards is true.  

With that said, I wanted to see if anyone else is able to help mod the bios.

BIOS Download : https://ufile.io/lroyy (https://ufile.io/lroyy)

I tried installing the base BIOS with Adrenline drivers and got about 512h/sec per thread for a total of 1020H/sec.  Switch to Blockchain drivers and it dropped to 480h/sec per thread (960H/sec Total)

I tried using the BIOSes from PCTuneUp but they are all Samsung Memory and hence bricked the card.

I tried OC the clocks and didn't get any speed increase in doing so.

I am only going to keep this card for 5 days unless I can get the speed up, but I am all ears until then!

Thanks!

Have you found a BIOS for the Hynix 56 yet?
I got the MSI Airboost OC V56 and I'm barely able to stabilize at 930mhz mem. It'll run for a few hours and then will hang.
40Mh/s @ 140W

The V64s that I got have Samsung memory(reference model and Sapphire Nitro+) pulling 44.3Mh/s @ 170W and 45.5Mh/s @ 180W
might have to start avoiding V56s if all we are getting for the custom coolers right now are Hynix memories
