Alright, I'm continuing from this topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1882656.msg20441853#msg20441853), as I don't want to cloud that topic with my noob questions :p I have read a lot of posts, and am hoping to put some things together that actually make sense..
Now, I did an i2cdump from aida64 (afterburner came up with nothing?) :

Looking here (http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=399542) I think I can verify that I have an NCP81022 controller on device 25 right? Looking through some other posts I think that translates to 0010 0101, and with a 0 bit to the left that would become 010 01010, which would then be 4A in the bios for the VoltageControlAddress in the voltage object?

VoltageRegulatorID = 10
VoltageControlI2cLine = 96
VoltageControlAddress = 4A
VoltageControlOffset = 00
I'm not sure about VoltageControlI2cLine and VoltageControlOffset, how can I check this?
Now, looking at the register map from the controller (https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/ON%20Semiconductor%20PDFs/NCP81022.pdf) I saw that there were some possible registers for the offset:
0x39 R/W 0x0000 Iout Offset
0xD5 R/W 0x02 Vout Trim 1 Programmable Offset Voltage.
0xD7 R/W 0x00 Initial offset
0xE6 R/W 0x00 Special purpose offset
Googling these registers further looks to point to register E6 for the one to use (http://www.overclock.net/t/1561372/hawaii-bios-editing-290-290x-295x2-390-390x/3150).
Don't worry about it - we're all beginners sometime. First, don't look for that hex sequence... or ANY hex sequence... to ID a specific table. Parsing out the ROM header and following the pointer from the table list is a fuck of a lot safer - because what if, on the off chance, your magic hex sequence shows up in a command table, or some other table's data by sheer dumb luck?
That I did actually, made a paint image to color all the parts in the rom header to identify them :P
Now, I could point you where to go for RT8894A, but that would be pointless, because you do not have one. You have an NCP81022. Furthermore, the stock VBIOS shipped by Sapphire lies in that voltage object. It's a rather transparent lie, however, because the fact that it's an NCP81022 makes one of the other bits of info an impossibility... it will not function unless remedied.
did you mean the lie regarding the VoltageControlAddress? Else I have no idea ..
So, from the original voltage object:
42 00 03 01 01 03 0E 00 10 96 20 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00 01 07 0C 00 0E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 24 00 00 04 00 00 02 80 10 00 00 00 10 00 52 03 02 00 00 00 84 03 02 00 10 00 B6 03 00 80 10 00 E8 03
To the new one:
46 00 03 01 01 03 12 00 10 96 4A 00 00 00 00 00 E6 00 F4 00 FF 00 01 07 0C 00 0E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 24 00 00 04 00 00 02 80 10 00 00 00 10 00 52 03 02 00 00 00 84 03 02 00 10 00 B6 03 00 80 10 00 E8 03
Does this look better? ( and is it safe to flash ? :P )
ps, I'm still struggling with all the acronyms used everywhere regarding bios programming, are there some entry level reads to get some more background information on the whole?
