BIOS MOD for RX 480 Armor 4GB (very simple and easy!)

[exmoex]

Hi guys!

This post is only for MSI RX 480 Armor 4G OC #912-V341-028 with Hynix memory!
If you buy one, the normal MH/s on ETH mining is about 21...frustrating if you compare with the Gaming X (that is about 28/29 MH/s).

Then, you have to MOD your Armor:

1) Install the latest drivers from official site (i use Radeon 17.4.4): http://support.amd.com/en-us/download then restart normally

2) Download the ATI Flash utility: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/
2.1) Start it using right clic and "run as administrator" (if not you will be notified)
2.2) Clic on SAVE, to SAVE your actual STOCK ROM as a backup (very important!)
2.3) Clic on LOAD, and LOAD this modded ROM: https://mega.nz/#!vAs3TDQJ!W2HPI70RY1TO5J65_VRj7iKTIElDv6nIzQb6AeUii3w
2.4) Clic on PROGRAM to FLASH your Card
2.5) DO NOT RESTART!!!!!!

3) The actual Radeon drivers check for the cards signatures, then, you will need to patch the system drivers, for that, download and execute this patcher called atikmdag-patcher: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher

DONE!, then, restart your PC and check that the system starts normally (with the driver at full resolution). Now you will get About 26-27 MH/s on ETH mining....



P.D: if the system does not load the driver after the reboot, then something was wrong, then, go to ATI Flash, LOAD and PROGRAM your Stock pre-Backuped ROM, and contact me throught this threat

So you just copied 1750MHz strap to 2000MHz strap? That's not good way.
Isn't this one of Anoraks bios?

Not sure about it, is a mod that i take from a site, and im using it with real good results.

My intension only was to share an easy steps to do it, im not an expert modding BIOS.
