I picked up My Sapphire NITRO+ RX VEGA64 (Non LE) a couple of months ago it seems to run fine at the settings but i worry about the wattage do you guys think its safe in the long run I ran my Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x at 1100/5600 from day one and its still fine.. but didnt up the wattage on it as it was capable of staying at 1100 without it https://i.**********/8PmscfFH/4.png https://i.**********/mLn9W9M1/1.png https://i.**********/k4RBgj86/3.png
Yes Hot spot will be the factor that will say if you can oc more or not. Just be carefull not to toast the inside ofn the gpu core. Also look at vrm temps 100c+ it will trottle.
Mine does the same they can use some power when we oc really hard. I can do even 1.3v and it goes over 250w 100c on the vrm lol
Yeah i want all the performance i can get. 1500mhz -1.2v here around 220W but i keep vrm temps at 80c with a little agressive fan speed.
The Rx480 does not scale that well and I have a crap silicon, but I have to get all I can from the hardware.
How about them apples https://i.**********/4yLbqSXn/Untitled.png https://www.twitch.tv/videos/450130691 My Board is the Non LE Nitro+ with 12 Phase vrm's it has a 210w bios and 240w when i flash the Nitro + LE 14 Phase vrm bios with 263w limit = no boot The Power Color Red Devil is also 12 Phase so tried flashing it earlier as it has a 260w limit the bios seems legit better for overclocking i noticed that its closer 1.2v alot more than the Nitro+ bios e.g. 1.184 etc where as the Nitro+ bios is at say 1.14 or 1.12 when under load alot of the time also the vrm temps show in gpu-z now where as they didnt with the stock bios also 1682 1045 50% Power Limit was the max with the Nitro+ Bios been at 1702 1045 50% Power Limit for last 3 hours and havnt crashed yet
