Very nice temps and clocks, sir.

As for me, I think I finally found the sweet spot with my 56. Basically running everything at 1 volt too, check this out. My temps vary according to ambient temps; when my living room is 25.5C my top temp on the Vega will be 80C, but when I have it cooler at night I saw that drop to 76C.

why are you down clocking the core?

I'm running 1.000v and 0% core with Power set to +50 and HBM stock 945mhz with my fan curve set to 1000rpm min and the max slider to it's max

and can game, bench or whatever and hit 68c max with substained clocks from 1601 to 1595Mhz

Nothing performance related, but I always expected the final Vega cards to have the Vega logo somewhere (non limited edition models that is). So I had some stickers made:

Large version

That's great and looks awesome!

Got the molder package chip in both my Vega's

Pulled the card apart yesterday and removed the stock tar like thermal paste AMD used..

I was able to remove the void if removed sticker and what did I find?
The MSI sticker on top and the AMD sticker below it. I betcha for a lot of ya, it's been a long time seeing one of those stickers hey

I replaced with Grizzly paste and it sure brought the temps down. Also a lot less aggressive fan curve now. Well worth the time invested doing it and Id recommend it to all with an Air cooled card.

And BTW the Black Cover on the cards are not plastic as rumor has it, their metal

 

[kurosagi01]

I'm too scared to attempt to change the thermal paste on the Vega 64 haha..maybe when its out of warranty LOL.
Anyone using latest crimson drivers? Is it any better in terms of saving wattman profile?

 

[fullinfusion]

Don't know, using non public beta ATM. But that problem has been fixed.

After seeing the paste AMD used I honestly don't think it'll make it through warranty.

mine was already 50% dried out if not more. If you worried about the stickers just OC the card and leaf the fan on default and run Heaven bench in a loop and the card will heat right up.

When its running and gets very hot use a small razor blade to lift the sticker and then use tweezers to slowly lift it off with light rocking movements to let the adhesive release..

It's easy as can be to re-paste. To take the X bracket off loosen in a criss cross pattern and when coming close to the end of the screws thread place your finger in the X part your going to take the screw out or it'll pop out as its got a hell of a lot of tention within the Bracket. Remove the 4 screws and just gently rock the cooler off... Thant all you need to get it off.

When placing the cooler back on be sure the coolers posts are protruding through the pcb and all will be ok

Looking at this video i'm guessing i don't need go as far as removing the led wiring and the other black plastic shrouding?

 

[fullinfusion]

Nope, the led plate can flip over and lay beside the card. And the black shrouding stays.. that's the way I did mine. I used thermal grizzly and spread it over the entire package with the included spatchla

Six screws, 3 on each side and then when they're screwed out then the back of the card you lift it high enough and also pull it towards the rear. The cards shroud actually is tucked under the front of the card where are your inputs are so when you're assembling it just be sure to stick it under the lip and then just lay the top back down and once everything's lined up put the screws in and Away you go.

Maybe i'll attempt it when i have some backup cash for another one if i kill it by accident lol.

I see a Vega 64 nitro on the way.

If it is true and it requires 3 8pin PCIE connector i'd probably reconsider by then

 

[kurosagi01]

Has anyone enabled HBBC? I have no idea what i'm meant to do when its enabled. What sort of speed am i meant to dial it to lol

HBCC isn't working right now on current driver. Only the public FCU beta driver will work. Sometimes it needs to be toggled twice to enable or twice to disable. If you run superstition 1080p extreme with HBCC off run the bench and see what you get for a store. Then enable HBCC and you'll know that it's enabled because your screen will go all Goofy for a Split Second then run the same benchmark and your store should go up.

AMD thought HBCC was working all along but us over at Vanguard proved differently. Hbcc should scale according to system memory and I would just leave it at default. There's a fix coming on the next public beta if not this one the next one for sure.

Can I join?

He'll Ya!! Nice find man.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Can I join?

Course you can is that a frontier edition. Nice

Was out at pub or you would already be joined.

Should be more fun than the 56/64's I played with at my old job. We will see about to do a comparison with the 1080Ti FE just because I am curious.

Of course I would end up with the ridiculous version of vega. It is an FE, but not the water cooled one lol

I don't think any differ bar shroud and memory config , it's well worth waterblocking (to game on or use as weird room heater/asset)but only to then keep for a year or two.
Should be productive though mine is

I traded some cards I got for free for it, so this is just a play thing. I will see what it does and probably do the unthinkable with it. It will probably get tossed out in the garage to mine with, or put in my HTPC, because why not.

 

[cdawall]

Man it is hard to be a fan of team red right now...

 

[fullinfusion]

Whql or Vanguard special? Remember that's a pro card to right and they don't drop too many beta drivers for that card just because it's a professional series and that's a high price tag fuck up if things go wrong

Whql 17q4 which appears to be 17.9.1 I'll run it again later with the later driver I finally figured out how to install.

@cdawall what is the power draw on that vega you have? good enough to heat up your room? Can't believe you going back in to camp red.

I have it tuned down to like 120-130w for my current use it's in my rig with 3 1080ti's
