Hello everyone. I'm a beginner in overclocking. I just buyed an used R9 270x and managed to oc it (with afterburner) from 1050/1400 to 1205/1745 with power limit +20% and 1225mv voltage. Since the temps aren't a problem yet (82° with 30 minutes of The Witcher 3 and 100% gpu usage) I want to increase further the voltage, but 1225mv is the maximum that afterburner lets me. Also I tried other oc softwares with no success. Searching on the internet I found that I need to modify the bios of the graphic card. I would love if someone helps me to do that. Is that dangerous?

I hope that my english is understandable.

Your temps are high even though not at the point it will throttle but you don't have much headway left, you might get another 2-3 fps out of it by trying to max it out, in short it's not worth the extra heat and voltage to try and push it any further, as when you do the extra voltage will likely lead it to throttle down cause of increased temps making it pointless. FYI mine never even sees 70c while gaming and it's overclocked and bios modded so 82c is still fairly high

Is that extra 50mhz or w/e worth it?

I don't care if it's only 2-3 fps but I want to enjoy my graphic card at it's full potential. The maximum temp that I can accept is 90-95°.

I think what NDMK is also saying is that your GPU will start to throttle at around 90C and that is probably one small hike in voltage, for 2-3FPS the risk of both finding a matching bios with the same memory, voltage regulator and PCB that has a higher voltage cap and successfully flashing that new bios when you have never done it before is in his (and my) opinion too risky, if you get it wrong you have a dead card.

Edit: Maybe start by setting up a custom fan profile in Afterburner (for example) to see if you can keep it cooler, if you can reduce temps sufficiently it may make the risk a little more worthwhile.

I have to change the thermal paste (I haven't got now but I will have soon) and also I will buy some case fans (two blowing away the hot air). And after many benchmarks and gaming, I can say that it starts throttling at about 100 degrees, never less.
What I'm saying is that I'm not worried at all with the current temps. Probably when I change the paste and add the fans the temps will drop below 70 degrees.

More air being exchanged will definitely help and so will new Thermal paste but probably not that drastically.
Maybe a 10° difference where you were hitting 100°.
I still don't think you're gonna get more than 2fps from where you are.

OK there's a limit on ab for a reason but if you want to disregard that then go and Google how to remove the voltage limits on the card though so so at your own risk

OP.....Take a look here, your card is compatible, I have used it many times in the past to mod existing Bioses, have a read through, if you feel confident you can download VBE7 from there (it's very small), dump your existing bios using GPU-Z and mod it, if you are not confident you can message me, you will need to zip your bios ROM and let me have it in a private message, I will unzip, edit re-zip and give it you back, you of course still do so at your own risk :) You would then need to download Winflash and give it a go...…. if you really think it is worth it, I still don't but I would rather you didn't stumble blindly through an unknown process and end up with no card.

OK, back here from PM's...…………. You were right, looking at the voltages in VBE7 they are locked in the maximum ranges, that either means that at the hardware level your card has a non programmable voltage regulator/controller or the cards existing Bios has a software lock on it that cannot be unlocked by VBE7.

Now there is another option to try, again I am not recommending it, this is simply for the sake of information so you know your options and the risks involved. I downloaded a copy of the Rom file from our database for the DD Black edition of XFX's R9 270X, it has the same Device ID as your card, the memory matches also. Doing a like for like comparison of the ROM files, the only differences I can see are the identification of the VRM's (your Bios states unknown) and the ability to increase the upper level of the voltages.

So attached as requested is a Modded DD Black Rom file, in there I have increased the performance max voltage to 1.275v, I have also increased the TDP limit and the Powerplay upper limit to 60% and added a slightly more aggressive fan profile.

Again I stress that I have done this because this is the ONLY way I think you will have the slightest chance of increasing your cards performance, however the risk is high, at best 50/50, if your voltage controller is locked then the flash will fail, the outcome of that fail will be either......

1. The flash will not hold and your existing Bios will not change and the card may be OK.
2. The flash does hold but your voltage controller can't give what the Bios is demanding and the card does not boot = Brick!

If it's not the voltage controller stopping the increase but a Bios lock then your chances increase from 50% to maybe 60%. Provided you have dumped a copy of your existing Bios I am not saying that you cannot recover the card and force flash your old Bios back, there are a couple of guys here better placed than me to help you with that.

So the choice is yours ……. if it were me I would say Don't do it.

You accept ? it's not up to you , it's the GPU the one who'll not accept , your temps are already high , you can't overclock and especially you can't increase voltage , GPU temps will go even higher , no worthy difference and kill the GPU faster.
Clean the GPU and case fans (if there is any , if not i highly recommend you to install at least one 120mm exhaust fan on the back of the case) from dust , change the thermal paste on the GPU , cable manage your PC if you didn't , this should cool down your R9 270X.

Well I flashed the bios with ATIflash. Now it doesn't show video. I made a bootable usb with a compatible version of ATIflash and my original bios with rufus and I followed up this video:
(minute 6:00) when I write "atiflash -f -p 0 bios.rom" it shows up ERROR 0FL01 Adapter not found. Obviously the graphic card was installed with the 2 pci express wires. Also the two fans were spinning. What do I have to do?

reflash back to previous bios and call it a day. Or buy a new gpu.

He can't reflash it with ATIFlash if that error is present. So he needs to resolve that first. If he can't then he'll need a CH431A(or similar) at that point. Regardless, it can be fixed one way or another.


Lesson to be learned: ALWAYS mod the original BIOS. NEVER flash a BIOS from a different card(some exceptions apply...but as a general rule of thumb...DON'T DO IT!!!).

Well i don't know why but tried the same again and it worked. The graphic card works like before. Since MrGenius says that I should use the same graphic card bios, how can I unlock the voltage? Maybe if I update it to the newest version?

Edit: I downloaded the last version of my graphic card's bios. In VBE07 I can raise the voltage up to 1400mv (pretty much no limit, because that voltage is overkill). I can try with 1275 first. Where I have to edit?

That's some conflicting information there? You said -- "I can raise it up to 1400mv" -- yet at the same time you're asking where the setting in VBE07 is?

How would you know the maximum is 1400mv without knowing where the setting is in VBE07?

Either way, I downloaded the editor and a bios from TPU for the 270X-DD and opened it up in VBE07, it's in the performance state 1 table under the powerplay tab. If you're going to try to get those extra couple fps then it's worth upping the TDP limits (TDP% and TDPW) a little in the Overdrive tab, and also setting a manual TDP in the same tab - I'd also make sure to set a much more aggressive fan profile as 90C isn't really going to be good for a 24/7 overclock. TBH, it's probably better to sit where you are already as you're not going to get much more out of that card.

this is teh most ridiculous thread I have ever read
literally dozen of warnings that flashing bios may brick the card, and proceed to flash and brick his card anyway

I tried flashing all the versions available of my graphic card bios and the only one that works is the stock one. And with the stock one I cannot increase voltage.

Like I said earlier, call it a day you cannot go any further and will brick your card if you keep f'ing with it.

You want more performance then go buy a better card.

If you are saying that this "last version" of your graphics card's bios means that you got it from XFX and the upper voltage limit now editable, if you can see it will increase to 1.4 then that's obviously where you change it, presumably that is the performance 3D clock but for god sake do not set that high if you are again going to try it, remember, you only have 5-10 degrees to play with, I would suggest that if you intend to try it sort out that thermal paste and get some more fans in that case otherwise you will be in trouble.

Not one to gloat but you were told, but hey, you know best right. You seem determined to brick your card for good. News flash, its a 270, there's only so much performance in the thing regardless of what you do. Do yourself a favour and leave it alone and be happy with the ab oc.

Attach a copy of it here(put it in a zipped folder and attach it to a post) and I'll make you some overvolted versions of it to try. Or maybe just show you where to manually hex edit it. Because VBE7 is actually sort of broken when it comes to overvolting. It might work...but it's not the correct way to do it.

Like I said, I tried flashing all the bios versions available in the database of my Double D 2GB (without modding at all) with ATIflash and it always says successful, but after restarting it doesn't give video signal. The only one that it worked was the stock one. Maybe if I try again it would work. I think anything is possible, since the first time I tried re-flashing it gave me error 0fl01.

Like I said, I tried flashing all the bios versions available in the database of my Double D 2GB (without modding at all) with ATIflash and it always says successful, but after restarting it doesn't give video signal. The only one that it worked was the stock one. Maybe if I try again it would work. I think anything is possible, since the first time I tried re-flashing it gave me error 0fl01.

Although if you have a non programmable voltage controller then irrespective of what we/you do with the Bios in reality you are not getting any more voltage.

Here ya go. If the overvolted ones don't work, you'll have to settle for the Stock Max Power version.

Thank u very much. All of them work. I'm currently with the 1425mV one. But I'm not able to raise up the gpu and vram frequencies (fur mark closes). I cannot raise anything at all above the values that I had with 1225mV (which is strange). I suspect that is because of the power limit. Without using afterburner or radeon overdrive, the frequencies go up to 1050/1400 (stock value), so I have to use one to raise them, and in the two softwares the power limit is up to +20%. I also tried to mod the already moded bios with VBE7 to set the frequencies to something like 1250/1750 with no sucess. In gpuz, when I stress test the gpu, it says that my gpu is at 1425mV. Also, in gpuz says that the values that I set in the bios mod are the default ones.
