ASUS Strix RX460 XOC

[elmor]

WARNING: The GPU fan is not working with this BIOS. Temperature readout is also not working. It's easy to fry your GPU if not taking care when using it. Flash at your own risk.

 

• GPU Voltage up to 1.6V in GPUTweakII
  
• "Cold slow" problem solved
  
• Always using 3D clocks
  
• Always using PCIE 3.0
  
• TDC = 75A, TDP = 72W (highest possible from BIOS side)
  

 

Hopefully there will be a solution to get higher TDP limits soon.

 

update:

 

TPD limit solved by The Stilt, run RX460_XOC.exe on your system to apply below changes.

 

• "Cold slow" problem solved
  
• Always using 3D clocks
  
• Always using PCIE 3.0
  
• TDC = 500A, TDP = 1000W
  

 

Note that this also kills the fan on your card, so once again, use with caution! You also don't get the increased voltage limits with this so ideally use both BIOS and The Stilt's fix. If you have problems with it reporting no adapters found you need to clean out any lingering driver entries by DDU: Official Display Driver Uninstaller DDU Download

Thanks!

 

Works for both normal Strix and Strix OC?

Much appreciated - thanks for sharing

[gavbon]

Am I right in thinking this card is custom PCB?

[Strong Island]

Thanks so much for this

[elmor]

Thanks!

Yes it should, I'm not able to verify however.

Thanks to @The Stilt we've got a TDP solution, see first post.

Great! I have ordered the strix OC since the non OC is not available here. Will test.

 

Is the stilts exe a run once or we need to run it every reboot?

Run once and then it should stick (after reboot).

Thank you Elmor!

 

Now to work out which part of the card needs de-soldering

[Splave]

This looks fun in for one!

[flanker]

yes, the same could be for 480 Strix and 470 Strix (after uplaod the LN2 BIOS the TDP limit seems still the same)

[Alex@ro]

Does the utility for 460 work on rx 480 strix too? I mean having higher TDP limit?

So has anyone worked out any modifications for this card yet?

[Splave]

any chance we can get eVC support for this mine will be here friday thanks for posting the tools Elmor and Stilt

Question about XOCing this card

 

I have 3 pots here - A fat, a slim and a stubby, but the mounting on them doesn't fit the RX 460 STRIX

 

How have you all mounted them and it's like the copper from the block is actually covering the holes...is there a method that I'm oblivious to here?

I havent mounted my card yet, but I had to use a clamp for my gt 710. Sometimes you can take off mounting hardware and build a platform on the mobo and then actually place the pot against gpu, so it pushes a little and try and reinforce behind gpu, not great for mobo slot though. it's worked for me before. Maybe zip ties to tighten a bit.

 

Did you try the g92 mounting holes, gotta look at my card when get home, havent taken out of box yet.

Thanks mate

 

Pot only came with 1 bracket, so guess I'm screwed on that front! I have made a fix though, so hopefully it will work

[MetalRacer]

This one looks like it will take the small bracket an probably a slim pot.

well I mean the brkt has different holes that you can change the screws to, so that you make it smaller. I totally forgot it came with another brkt.

Anyone got the stock BIOS or the script to flash the original BIOS handy? I seem to have misplaced mine

[Strong Island]

 

 

 

 

does anyone know how to do that aux mod manually or a .95v mod to help with the black screens

[Splave]

Boost the vddci?

I should have ordered a evc when I had the chance, that was dumb of me, going to try and figure out how to hard mod it.
