hi guys that is my first time midding gpu on my own my cards are up and going for walks solid at stock config now subsequent step for me its alter bios in view that i dont need to mess with straps and many others...

Where can I download original Polaris Bios Editor?
This link https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor - not work.
Tried to google it... but found this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4630337
So I'm afraid to download it from not official site...

Do you need 1.6.7? Otherwise just check out 1.4.1:
https://github.com/tpruvot/PolarisBiosEditor/releases/tag/1.4.1

For some reason the Github repository of the 'jaschaknack' PolarisBiosEditor was deleted some time ago. I guess the only way you will get a copy is from someone who has a copy - with all the associated risks involved.
Another version of PBE is available here, https://github.com/vvaske/PolarisBiosEditor/releases

I've uploaded changed version of the PBE 3 PRO it is based on the 1.6.7 and 1.7.0 with the original timings used in this thread and later in PBE 1.6.x.
https://github.com/IndeedMiners/PolarisBiosEditor/releases Also included in first post now.
Nobody knows why it was delete, but some of the 1.6.7 was build with trojans so it might be something in common. I've checked this version and it should be fine it only connect to Github to check version, but somebody might take an advantage of that connection and infect the PC. I might later delete that function.

I can only assure you that PBE 3 is with no viruses, some antivirus report false positive alerts, but only connection it does is to license server and it's via SSL.

Testing PBE 3.0 , seems to have a issue after clicking on Timing Patch with RX550 card or this is normal?

Screenshot for RX550 Gigabyte Hynix:

Same for RX550 Sapphire Pulse but with a bonus message:

Thank you in advance.

Next time pls write to my e-mail. You will get faster answers and this is not meant as thread for my PBE it is for free bios modding. If you are in hurry and got big problem also Telegram.
It is normal for lot of cards it lower voltages. Power saving option is better since it also tweak clocks.
That is not a bonus msg   It is timing pick, not sure if the first one will work with 550, but try it, if you answer no you will get other one that should work.
RX550 aren't very compatible with this PBE for now, I rework it for RX560 and RX550 will be hopefully soon too.
BTW that's not Hynix, but Elpida (right upper corner).

Sorry about the screenshot, I was so tired with my work, I have make a test with gigabyte hynix , no more change, Baffin models this is very nice (500H/s without OC) but not keep this hashrate for a long time hashrate drop to 300H/s, same for lexa models. For now I keep my bios (reach 480H/s no drop), waiting a update for rx550 models

Too high memory clocks, it is nothing uncommon with Elpida. 480H/s is still awesome result for RX550.

Yes , the memory clocks from the screenshot is set automaticaly by the PBE v3.0 , can you provide in private message your telegram?

Thank you in advance

PBE v3 is Great really fine tuned my bios, thank you for your work Matthew! my Only question is When Vega?

Thx. You can write review here https://mining-bios.eu/product/polaris-bios-editor-3-pro-pbe-3-pro-performance-timings/#tab-reviews 
I don't have any Vega, my friend is developing Vega bios editor, but he is stuck and probably won't be able to decode the timings. From what I know even Wolf0 and Eliovp weren't able to do it.
There might be support for RX500x series if it ever will come out not just OEM and we will see what RX600 series will be. RX650/660 or so might still be Polaris but high ends will probably use GDDR6 instead of GDDR5.

[laik2]

Both Wolf0 and ElioVP have decoded the timings
Editing bios is near impossible because it needs to be signed, good luck with that.

I have nothing to do with that 
Nice to hear they did it.

AMD will probably deny bios edition in newer editions.

Was exactly thinking the same for the past months it was a backport pain probably for them all the returns with messy bios and dead/abused cards. However, they had an advantage with this, would have never bought a single nvidia during this one year crypto boom.

I have PBE 3 license from your online shop. I used it for modding bios. Yes i get higher hashrate for cryptonight. Now, it is the time to be more professional. i have never checked GPU memory errors. i think it is time to learn something new.

Here is my setup:

Code:

Motherboard: Biostar TB250-BTC PRO
RAM: 8GB DDR4 RAM
CPU:  Intel Pentium G4400 3.30 GHz 2 Core
OS:Win 10 x64
Driver: 1268 CORE 950MV
PSU: 2 x Everest 1650W

Code:

12 x RX570 4GB - MSI Armor OC (one click XMR bios settings by using PBE 3.)
1268 CORE 950MV
2050 MEMORY 900MV
Total Power Consumption: 1390W

Code:

SRBMiner v1.6.7 - DEFAULT 56 intensity (i know i can get highwer hashrate if i change the intensity. But i do my all test in default intensity.)
Each GPU 955-956 h/s for cryptonight-v7
Total: 11460 h/s for cryptonight-v7

Everything is ok. There is no problem on mining. But...
I saw some errors when i check GPU memory errors. A few GPU has some errors, a few GPU has no any errors. i think it is strange.

Code:

0 errors
1201 errors
5 errors
103 errors
109 errors.

What should i do now ? is memory clock too high ?

Those errors are pretty low, how long take to have them? If it's after an hour or so, lower memory clocks a bit, it should be enough lower memory clocks by 1 - 10 MHz to lower them or even stop. Also make sure you cool the memory enough, if I remember right, the MSI Armor doesn't have memory heatsink. Check those errors with intensity you use also-

Hi Matt,

Just wanted to say thank you for creating this comprehensive guide! This is my first AMD card and I modded the bios with polaris one-click. Nice and easy and now over 1k on my 580!

Thanks again

i see PBE 3 not support RX550
i have Sapphire and Gigabyte and Asus RX550 2GB.
if you can prepare  RX550 support in PBE 3, i want to buy licence.
i can help you to make test on my rigs.
