how can i overrclock my rx 580 further ?

the max is 1480 , the stress test crashes at 1485

the voltage goes up to 1,25 under load
 
keep at 1460 or there abouts for 24/7 gaming clocks, you have reached your max OC without hardware modding or extreme cooling it's the silicone lottery
 
ok
 
My old 4GB 580 with 1750mhz vram used to do nearly 1550mhz clocks, the vram would only do 2050/2100, hence it's the silicone lottery what you will get, YMMV
 
what brand was it ?
 
Sapphire Nitro +
 
mine is just a cheap 200$ one
 
Run it at 1460-1480 and call it, you may need to change the gpu thermal compound and possibly water chill the card.

I wonder what @Bones and what @Mr.Scott Thinks
 
I agree, a repasting combined with chilling the card on water should let it go a little faster.
 
ok yks
 
Hi,
even though this Threat is outdated i came here via google :D
And i have some basic questions.

i do also have a rx580 red dragon.
within my package there is an automatic overclocking option using radeon adrenalin.
it overclocks the CPU to 1420mhz but the fan is at 100% nearly the whole time.
so i figured that this would be a rather safe overclocking value (which it totally is).
The GPU temperatures are at 50C° all the time so i used MSI Afterburner to replicate the 1420Mhz With 2200Mhz memory clock but with way less fan speed. (41 %) and it really works well.
GPU temp is never above 75C°

so far so good, here comes the question part:
i also tried to OC a bit more as there is more room temperature wise...
while testing i had 1500Mhz GPU and 2250 Mhz memory clock, but i had WAY less FPS when i tested the stability with Heaven.
Why is that? Do i have to chose values that are kinda related to eachother or sth?

and... how could i figure out a higher GPU clock + memory thats as smooth as the one i got right now?
 
Welcome ......…. Often it can mean you are at the limit with either the GPU or memory clock (voltage related), in this case, at a guess memory, try dialling the memory back to 2200mhz and give it another run to isolate each of the 2 clocks. If it is the same result, then drop the GPU 50mhz try another run and adjust from there.
 
I've stopped overclocking since it started overheating, but thanks for the advice
 
Point of diminishing returns at play here.
 
I mean it overheats even at stock clocks so

Stable at unigine superposition benchmark 8k optimized.
Get rekt.

And there's the prime example of silicon lottery.
 
Well whats soo hard to get a good oc.
Just edit the bios of the card and increase the power limit, and switch the thermal paste, you can get a good oc. I'm thinking about water cooling this card to get more out of it.

And oh yea, one 8 pin power.

Editing bios is how you brick it. Literally using Afterburner does just as good of a job and much safer.

Is that the XFX GTS Black? Those have the default GPU clock at 1405 Mhz, which are one of the highest and I thought those had the highest stock clocks!
