Hi, I have two Vega 64 cards with a R9 290.  I was using the blockchain drivers previously and was obtaining 44Mhash/card at 130w by applying a registry tweak and OverdriveNT to lower the vcore of each card to 0.8125v.  I just updated the driver to 17.10.2, and while I can easily obtain 44Mhash/card, I cannot get the voltage back down to that level. 

I have fiddled around in Wattman.  I have lowered the core clock from 1000mhz all the way down to 870 without getting the lower voltages.  I have tried autovoltage and manual voltage combinations.  For the manual voltage combinations I have tried changing the vcore voltage and the HBM voltage in many combinations, such as vcore/HBM 850/800, 800/850, 950/900, 900/950, etc.  I have tried lowering the power limit.  I have tried combinations of these changes and the best I can get is with lowering the power limit and vcore, I can get to 0.92vcore.

The registry tweak I used before makes my computer not boot into windows.

Anyone have any idea how to undervolt Vega64 to 0.8125v using the 17.10.2 drivers?

what too are u using to check if the voltages are correct ?

I have three vega 56 with 64 bios

seems they can do 1105 mem and 38 eth and 150 lbr or 40 eth solo

the core voltage says .91-.96 in GPUZ , you were getting lower voltages ? I have the same drivers as you.

Also on two cards only half the red lights are lit up but on the other one all the lights are lit up ? wtf ?
