hello everyone i just wanted to share with you my custom bios for sapphire r9 290 that gives 980-990kh/s

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ke6xprinltfmrnh/bios%20r9%20290%20for%20990kh.zip

remember that these cards goes crazy hot if its not custom, so make sure to add a fan near them !
any tip is welcome thanks

dunno i run them on standard R9 290
to be more specific it's this one
http://www.lesnumeriques.com/carte-graphique/amd-radeon-r9-290-4-go-p17329/test.html
i guess it's possible to load it on custom, i never tried it
to load it, the only way i know is this one
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?pid=2044#
download their bios zipped file
you'll find the instruction how to update any bios the file is in power point format
and the utility is named flash.exe

but i am sure there is other way to load new bios on your GPU
perhps someone from the forum could guide you better for that
anyway i use the software given by sapphire to load bios

I have six of these cards and they certainly run much hotter than the 280x cards I have.

This custom BIOS can you please tell us what you did? Memory timings? Undervolt?

What temps are you running mining scrypt?

It looks like a repackaged version of The Stilt BIOS.
