Hello,

I have done research but still have couple questions about flashing gpu.
I do not have integrated graphics on motherboard is it okay to use RX580 with monitor during BIOS flash?

1. Clean W10 1607 64bit RX580 is already installed during Windows installation and monitor is using that card aswell
2. After W10 installation download latest http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064 driver​ and install
3. Restart
4. Download and install ATI Flash tool https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/
5. Save Default bios to Desktop with ATI Flash
6. Open Default bios file from Desktop with Polaris Bios editor and change timing straps (not sure what timings i have to replace)
7. Save modified Bios to Desktop? In some videos people save modified bios file to the same folder where is ATI Flash Tool. Is it required?
8. Open ATI Flash tool. Load edited Bios file and then program.
9. Install patch
10. Restart computer and card should be flashed.

I do not have to uninstall anything between flashing cards? After first one just shutdown computer, take second, save bios, edit and program?
Any suggestions? What timings I have to replace on Sapphire RX580 8GB Pulse?
Do I miss any step?

well you are right but after you flashed you need to patch the driver otherwise you get yellow error in device manager you can find the patch easily by google if you are not sure about the timings you can ask https://anorak.tech so you understand whats the best timing for your graphic card.

I'm just flashing cards as preparation until mining motherboard arrives next week.  But I will use patch because want to see how much MH/s each card can do after flash. If i patch and restart after first card flash then I can just take another card from package and I don't have to uninstall anything to flash it?   Thank you.


Anybody know what memory timings I have to replace? 1750 mhz memory timings to 2000 Mhz and thats all? Or it depends on memory manufacturer??
