RX 580 Bios - Please help me find out what happend

[lasanchi]

Hey guys,

i recently bought this "Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Nitro+ 8GB Special Edition".
The seller told me 100% that he did not modify anything at this card. I checked the clocks and it said "1200MHz / 2200 MHz" both switches wont anything with these clocks.

This BIOS must have been modified right? Is there any way to check? How can i restore the original BIOS?
Is it possible that he just switched the cooler from another card?

BIOS dump can be found here: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/208224/208224
Shouldnt the Special Edition be XTR instead of XTX?

I'm really confused by all this... please help me

[lasanchi]

did i miss any? I found this one. Thanks for your help guys!

Let me look at SKU

This is your card right here.

Does the card work when the monitor is hooked up to it?

So you know yes that card has been mined with.

Do not flash any bios till I find the correct one.

These are 1430/2100

Yes, it does work - thanks for your help and support i will wait.
Is it possible that the seller modified the cooler so that the sticker wont fit to the gpu?

Erm no, that is the right cooler, backplate and SKU sticker, you also have Micron ram. Now if it was Elpidia ram that would be a fake Special Edition card, but you have a real Special Edition Card.

All he did was flash a mining bios which is found in the database.

Give me some time to find 1411/2000 bios.

Dont abandon these forums.

It will take me some time.
So relax.

I will tag you in and even send you a private message when I am all done, so we will get you fixed up alright

There isn't a single RX580 with base clock at 1200 and memory clock at 2200. And considering base clock is lower than default and memory clock higher than the highest model on the market, the card was definitely used for mining.

Yup because those files are found in our database.

Ok so i dont have to fear of bricking the card if i flash the original bios right?

You are going to flash it to only one bios, so if something does happen, you'll still be able to go the mining one.

Just remember to wait, don't do anything or try to flash it till eidairaman1 says so,

Good, glad you're listening, so many don't listen and rush off and brick their cards etc.

Disable any antivirus or anti-malware software

Open AMD Flash, if possible preferably with administrative rights

Follow the directions of the tool find the file that you downloaded and use that for the installation.

Restart when prompted.

Here are two videos for assistance

Once you're done let us know if it worked or not

Ok while waiting I will try to get you the 1411/2000 bios so the card is stock (no more mining bios)
So your card will be 1411/2000 stock and 1430/2100 Boost

Warning: for the 1411/2000 bios there may be none for the Special Edition Card how ever I will be posting several files that match up to your card per memory device ID and subsystem ID considering your card is a Nitro plus, if I find one specifically for your card I will let you know.

Im glad the first one worked
Sorry I was asleep

@lasanchi

Flip the dual bios switch to the incorrect mining bios

Do a restart

Then flash this file using the procedures as before

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/206175/206175

Let us know.

If it failed, just shut down, flip bios switch to working bios, power it on boot up then flip switch to non working bios and try another file.
