So, I bought a RX 560 Sapphire Pulse 4GB edition. I thought it was a damn 1024 version since it has a 6-pin connector. Now it turns out, it is a damn cut version of 896 named Baffin.
Downloaded the Sapphire BIOS from this site, flashed it. Everything went great, GPU-z shows 1024 processors, the clock speeds went from 1226 Mhz/1500mHz to 1300/1750mHz.
BUT,
the voltage went to 1143 volts on the MAX 7th step. So far it's been 2 days, and everything is working fine while gaming for hours. The card uses arround 60 W, temps are arround 68-73 celsius.
My SKU is 11267-18-20G.
Should I leave this like it is since it's pretty damn more stable then default BIOS, or should I reflash my old BIOS. I'm scared of frying my card since the voltage increase. How much can the PCB take? Is this even a locked chip?
Edit: I also like the fact that the card is at 66-68 celsius while gaming for hours but on the default bios its arround 74-76. How is that even possible? Did the BIOS change the temp chip reading?
Also, my RX has no 0 RPM fan option, but the newly flashed BIOS turns off the fan when idle or low usage.
Im jus trying to figure out if this BIOS would damage my card in the long run. Seems to be working fine TBH
