I ended up buying a mixture of 390 cards a while back, only to realize it seems none of them support undervolting (Tried MSI Afterburner and Trixx)
I have an old R9 290X Reference card back when Litecoin mining was hot on them.  It can undervolt -100 and works amazing, in this heat it's as good as my 390.
What cards do you use that you can undervolt?  Is there a custom bios for the 390s that allow this?  I'm also interested in the 400 series, seems they all can be undervolted?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Is there a list or a way to tell if an AMD card can be undervolted before buying it?

no but  you could buy mine


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1579698.0


all are the same and they all under volt.


and you  could get then new from best buy


http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-amd-radeon-r9-390-8gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card-black-gray/8278117.p?id=1219690434699&skuId=8278117


if you use  amd 16.7.2  and claymore miner they  will do 27-30 mh with undervolt.

the amd settings have overdrive  for r9's and wattman for rx 480s
