Vega owners club

Time to share this, finally fix my gpu (vega 56) temps some days ago, max is 60c in heavy demands, vrm hmm 60, 65c, room temp 25c, non-use gpu temp 27c.

pd: cooler model is coolmoon t500.

happy with these temps, 45c max omg (room temp 19c), im using the stock bios, stock clocks, 150w limit.
It is a little difficult but not impossible to adapt a CPU cooler to GPU.

this thing was burning months ago, like 86c.

Nice pc, thats demand a big gpu, you can upgrade the psu using a pico psu plus a server dps delta psu.

Impressive score for stock if you have not touch anything. But show us what it can do with undervolt/higher clock speed.

Thank you for the advice, but I am just goofing around. I have 2 Cooler Master NR200 series for small and powerful gaming boxes. This old SFF HTPC case isn't designed for a GPU. I could probably put my tiny XFX 6400 where the PSU is by using a PICO like you pointed out. Or my ITX ARC A380 if I cut out an area on the top so its fan can breath. But it would kill the sleeper vibe. The cooler already has all it can handle with the 5700G, even though I manually entered ECO settings for it. Don't need any more heat sources in this tiny case. Though I was thinking I could add a couple of those little Noctua fans on the sides where the vents are. Intake by the PSU exhaust by the cooler.
 
I know this isn't really the thread, but does anyone please have any idea what these are called? (pictured)

I have the ROG Strix 64 and 2/3 of the strip has died and refuses to light. I have removed the shroud and the PCB (LEDs work fine) and these just receive the light from the LED, as you all know

The problem is, I have no idea what they are called... I have given the bay a whirl, but had no luck

Anyone know?

I will try to see what results I get with the bios of a Vega 64 plus oc, probably 4300 in superposition, I hope the power supply works well.

She purdy. Gonna be doing some OC testing and stuff.
 
RN-RAD-WIN-24-1-1-POLARIS-VEGA <-- New drivers are out.
 
Switching to windows 10 has now begun to show the true speed of my modded Vega 56 Nano. Im still going to hold claim this is the worlds fastest Vega Nano "on air". I should really explain what's going on under the shroud, because there's a lot more going on, but it's boing stuff, but its working.

Yesterday I got an Email from Techpowerup.com saying there were new post and a new driver? I haven't been on the Vega owners club in two years. I broke a VRM module and glued it back together. It worked but the temps soared up to 80c+ And I couldn't bring it back down. The grief of it all.
I retired it to the closet and pulled out a Gigabyte 2080S I canabalized from a used build I bought and slotted it in. Phifft! The graphics were drained, faded and grainy. Sure it was fast and sutter-free but it look like an old color TV. Perhaps a '70's Admiral, Emerson but no better that a Zenith or Sony. I sent the 2080 to friend who installed it on his server (as if it was a useful idea). And I bought a 3080ti.. . which was no fun at all. I clocked it up to stable numbers and the DP ports kacked. Just didn't run the monitor except in HDMI @ 120hz. *&#%^!!! thing made me mad and I last December I replaced it with a PowerColor Hellhound RX 7900 XT (started coming into budget problem so I couldn't buy the XTX). This XT is an amazing card. It's a very good card but it's a ready-to-eat intem out of the box. What I mean is I didn't have to do a lot of tweaking. It took the wind outta of personalizing the performance. Boost clocks @2500mhz. Where am I going in a hurry?
I'm really miss teaking the Vega84. Getting to run stable 1780mhz+ was a real chore but it ran cool @ 45/50c. I see it when I open the closet and it looks back at me with a tear in it's DP port. It breaks my heart to see it. It kept me interested computer graphics.
The cooler is a Rajintek Morpheus Vega cooler with two 120mm BeQuiet fans.

Late to the party, but bought my 2xVega56/2xVega64/Radeon vii/Radeon pro vii (new)/Instinct MI50 (Chinese model) only recently on ebay for prime PRP proving with gpuowl. So no display is connected to any of those GPUs. The four Vega10 GPUs are on open mining rig with old ASUS-P6T7 mainboard, 2000W PSU (1700W used if all run full power). The MI50 in right PC (the MI50 old works in PC with x16 4.0 PCIE slot after I flashed MI50 bios, it came with Radeon pro vii bios) did need a cooling solution, so I 3Dprinted one and posted on printables.com (attribution only license, even commercial use is allowed):

It is really efficient (temperatures 14°C lower than with same BBQ blower fan U-turn shroud), but very loud.
No problem since all my GPUs are in basement computing center:

Really late to the party here... got a Vega 64 LC in good condition for about 23 USD.

I have a 550W PSU and my main load on the card is gonna be gaming, what can I do to maximize performance? My experimentation hasn't been able to hit the sweet spot of performance and power consumption. The card is extremely cool, even under load.

Also, which tool is recommended? Is there a way to apply the overdriven/adrenaline profile at every boot?

Thanks in advance guys!

I find that undervolting the Vega 64 will result in the card being in higher power states for longer. You could start by undervolting the GPU at all power states by -50mv and drop the core clock to the closest 100mhz increment as a starting point. So if your top power state is 1680mhz @ 1200mV, drop it to 1600 @ 1150mv, then do this with all your power states. I find that this, in combination with increased power limit will get me a constant 1600Mhz on the core at around 250-280w draw under load.

I will warn you that 550W is pretty small for a GPU like this, because you have to account for the load on the entire system and as I mentioned, the GPU alone will consume around 250-280w with an upper limit at around 330w if I recall correctly.

These settings result in a variable 1460-1600MHz on the core. Using 330W, ~150 FPS in Furmark 1080p.

Am I doing something wrong?
 
It's hitting 330w because of that top power state most likely. 1.2v at any core clock is usually going to make the card throttle pretty hard, even with the 330w limit. If the card is stable with these settings, perhaps try lowing P7 to 1650Mhz and 1150mV and see what happens. FWIW, my card is configured a bit more conservatively with P7 being at 1600Mhz @ 1150mV if I recall correctly. I have not tested how low I can go before it becomes unstable.

To be clear, the goal is to make it so the GPU is not hitting the power limit so we can maintain the top power state. Feeding this card too much voltage is counter-productive because we hit the power limit more easily, even without an overclock.
