Radeon™ RX 560 Gaming OC 4G (rev. 1.0) 16.3MH/s bios

[Branko]

Someone asked so here it is...this BIOS is for this card only (not v2, which is worse, but you can probably try same strap
with lower hashrate)

Your result may vary (silicon lottery, worse cooling - because I replaced thermal paste with Arctic Cooling MX3, as
original one is not good at all, etc)

I played a bit more and managed to get hashrate to flow between 16.5 and 17.1 in Phoenixminer, but with
some memory errors in HWinfo , so I consider this the best I managed to get)

Thanks a lot, Branko.
Could you upload the original bios as well, please?

Sure, its here

thanx, will try the mem strap with my microns

Very kind of you Branko, considering how people have been trying to sell these Bios. Now if only I had some of these cards. Huge value for money!

[Branko]

Anyone can share results, I'm specially interested about cryptonight, as there are a lot of mining programs, and
various configurations (and I don't have enough time to test all)

Hi Branko! I was using your old Micron strap in my Powercolor RX460 (with RX560 bios) with GatelessGate Sharp with 49/8/2 and performance is good. I'll try your newer bios, but I have issues with capacitors and my RX460/560 boots at 20% starts, so I have to fix it before.

It's really impressive what you reached. 16MH/s+ in a cheap board like this is awesome.

30-45W, depending on algorithm...I have efficient platinum PSU, so a bit more if you use bronze, silver or gold

Hi Branko,

I've tested the strap on 2 GPUs:
1. Gigabyte GV-RX560OC-4GD - ETH 15.6MHz@2125 and hang@2150
2. MSI RX560 AERO ITX 4G OC - works unstable even at 1950MHz

Branko, any idea, why power consumption of my GPU is higher than yours one, please?

thanks

Hi Branko, thanks for this awesome post.
I may need some help tho, is your GPU a gigabyte version? My MSI rx 560 keeps crashing whenever i go beyond 15mh.

[metalo]

thanks a lot!

Great stuff here, credit to the OP. Somewhere else people have to spend money for this.

Is the BIOS only works for certain type of memory? or it will work on any other?

Its Micron only, it should work for other micron based cards, too
(strap at 2000MHz)

Thats pretty crazy, I can't think about any other reason but bug in HWinfo, or
AMD driver giving wrong info in either your or my case
Interesting to note that your card has both bigger average fan speed, and whole
7C bigger average temperature...is it GB rx560 Rev1 with 2 fans and additional
PCI-E power conenctor?

I guess memory cooling is super important, judging from this...memory chips seem to draw a lot of power too
(about 50% of overall consumption in RX560 cards, I estimate, less for stronger rx570/580 GPUs),
and if you look at picture I took before I put cooling paste, its obvious even memory package suffers from heat:

Those are impressive numbers. So the micron strap is at 2000 in your BIOS?
I see you're running 1180mhz/890 mv core. Memory is at 2140mhz but what volts are you giving to it?
I think I have an RX 460 lying around, ill see how high it goes with this strap ...

I change 2000MHz on micron and 2000+2250 on hynix, because theres no point changing
lower straps...if for some reason default 1750MHz strap doesn't work, you have bricked card
that won't even boot...same goes for changing default frequencies in BIOS...if card won't work,
you'll get bricked card that you have to spend time to get back to working condition

Both memory and core are set to 875mV in BIOS (but memory is actually working at 2240 in my case  )

It's GV-RX560OC-4GD GPU (not sure is that rev1 or rev2, with 1 fan and no additional power connector):
Adapter  1 (BN=03, DN=00, FN=00, PCIID=00001002, SSID=0000230A)
    Asic Family     :  Polaris11      
    Flash Type      :  GD25Q41B    (512 KB)
    Product Name is :  GV-RX560OC-4GD/F60/0696
    Bios Config File:  RX560O4.F60    
    Bios P/N        :  P/N Not Available
    Bios Version    :  015.050.002.001.000000
    Bios Date is    :  10/31/17 03:57  

Also, I'm using the latest version of HWinfo and blockchain edition of the amd drivers.
The fan speed is bigger because I use AB software fan control with custom fan speed curve.

PS. Today I'm going to test the strap on another GV-RX560 edition GPU. Will let you know the results later.

That one is rev.2, its worse than rev 1, but interesting that it actually draws more power...maybe
hwinfo actually measures only power drawn over pci-e slot, and don't add power drawn over additional connector?
Although that doesn't make much sense when you look at stronger cards that draw most of power
from additional connectors

Thank you for the clarification. Now I'm going to give it a try. Hopefully what I just ordered come with the Microns.
