As the title says. Can't upload photo in PM to eidairaman1 or original thread I posted in, so here is a new thread. GPUZ screenshot to follow shortly.

I have seen it & it seems to match. It's a pain to get it all setup again to get GPUZ screenshot as the card does not fit in my main computer, it's too long. I will update this thread at some point with GPUZ screenshot.
Most likely you wont need it as it appears as powercolor are the only 1s to have made this gpu
And you can't modify Fury/Vega/VII card bios, only crossflash which isn't guaranteed to work.
I would find a washer mod and a high quality thermal compound/pads for the gpu and vrm circuits.

I'd use kryonaut over liquid metal but that is just me. @buildzoid does hard mods as well, check out actually hardcore overclocking on youtubeI do all my modifications in hardware ie, power/voltage mod is done around the controller by changing the resistors. I already have most of the upgraded parts already here resistors, capacitors, Liquid Metal compound, 17W m/k Thermal Pads.
You will see something different on this card & it will be the first GFX card in the world to have it, but the new hardware part will not be here until May this year as it's a new manufactured part for the year 2020.

A Nano is too large?

That's correct.
The Vega Nano is too long when compared to the R9 Nano as the card hits the southbridge heatsink. The Vega Nano backend will be cut off so that it will fit into my normal ultra tight fitting case. Currently to test the Vega Nano, it has to be done on an open bench.

Lordy, what case is this?
It be be easier to cut the chipset heatsink.
No worry of delaminating the pcb, cracking it or breaking traces

It's not the case really, it's the custom heatsink that is sitting on the southbridge which is a rare Noctua NC-U6.
The heatsink/shroud will be cut off to the same size as the R9 Nano. Then thermal pad is placed between the heatsink & shroud utilizing the shroud as a heatsink. This method is already been used on my R9 Nano & is more or less invisible as it's internal & can't be seen from the outside. You need to take the card apart to see the internal changes/location of the extra thermal pads.
That's the advantage of having a "metal shroud" & works brilliantly to great effect on the R9 Nano & I expect the Vega Nano to also take advantage of this. The only downside is the shroud get's really hot under extreme loads where you can't touch it as it's far too hot. This shows this modification does work.
Makes sense but shouldnt be touching parts while energized anyway lol.
Good mod then, go for it.

The internal/bracket plate is normally used to cool the MOSFETS & the shroud is connected to this. The shroud does not get hot enough because it has very poor contact to the bracket which is normally held by four screws. You can tell if the shroud is working hard enough by first stressing the GPU before the mod, then checking how hot the shroud gets after mod. There's a huge massive difference between the two temperature.
After extreme stressing the GPU & then turning off the PC, even after 3 mins has passed you still can't hold the card, far too hot. This modification has been working on the R9 Nano for over 10 months now & will be passed onto this new card.
NOTE: For the R9 Nano you can pick what you want to cool. It's either the GPU or the MOSFETS not both together. For Vega Nano card it looks like GPU only.
Sounds like major mods are needed, weird how on r9 fury nano you can't cool both.
