if gpu bricked after updating the bios, can I reflash the bios again?
@@shawn2071 it depends. If your GPU has dual bios, and one of those is working, you should be able to recover it.
Also, if you have an iGPU, you might be able to save it again.
Yo! Thank very much I fixed my pre-mined card! Thank God that it had dual bios! Don't stop making technical video's man you are very good at explaining!
I am glad you solved it 😀
And thanks for your appreciation.
Great video, First, how would i know if i have a modified GPU bios ?!
2nd, did you experienced any issues when you paired the RX 580 with the B550 ?! because i heard many people saying they got black screen..
Cuz i have an RX 580 and I'm about to buy the rest parts, same like yours (B550 + R5600) so i just want to avoid issues.
One more thing, did you faced any problems when you installed Win 11 ?
Thanks in advance.
1st Q:
It is a bit hard to tell if it is 100% the original bios on it. But usually, I am looking for the GPU Core Clock and Mem Clock in GPU-Z software and then I compare the clocks to the ones that are listed on manufacturer website or Techpowerup spec page of that GPU.
Also, when you go on Advanced tab on GPU-Z you will havedrop-downown menu‚ there you have to go to AMD Bios.
And here you will have a Part # from what I've seen with recent GPUs from Sapphire‚ that doesn't match with the one that is labled on the GPU's shroud sticker.
But you might check that one too‚ if they match and the clocks matched with the ones specified by the manufacturer it is 100% the OG bios. If the clocks match but the Part # doesn't it might be a different one or not (as in case of Sapphire's more recent GPUs).
2nd Q:
With my Ryzen 5 5600g I haven't encountered any compatibility problem when pairing it with RX 580 and my B550 motherboard (at least not while using the standard bios/quiet bios‚ with performance bios I had some weird problems and I am not sure if it is caused by my B550 motherboard or some weird mismatch with the Performance bios that I have flashed). Also, in some cases it might happen that some motherboards would not fall back to PCI-e Gen 3‚ and could cause a handshake problem with the GPU. In my case this doesn't happen as 5600g doesn't support PCI-e Gen 4.
3rd Q: With Windows 11 I have a mix experience. But While using RX 580 + 5600g I haven't encountered problems. Except in 2022's winter when there was a weird problem with Windows Updates forcing a certain AMD Driver that wasn't compatible with Radeon Software that was installed with the Drivers I have installed from amd.com. And a few months ago when I have used it for the last time‚ it worked perfectly fine with the latest driver from AMD website‚ and Windows didn't force a different driver on it.
Also, when installing Windows 11 (if you don't use certain tricks to configure it without an online account)‚ setup with your Microsoft account‚ do the basic preference settings. And then when you get for the first time to the desktop‚ go to Windows updates and check for new updates (or it will check automatically). It should find some AMD drivers also. Let them install and after that restart your PC and go to amd.com and from here download AMD chipset drivers and AMD Graphics drivers. Install firstly the Chipset Drivers‚ restart PC‚ install RX 580 drivers‚ restart PC. And from here you'll have to install the rest of the things you need and want.
My gpu is comsuming 100% in low games and heat up quickly what to do
Do you have a flashed bios on it, or is it stock?
FYI, latest version of amdvbflash cannot detect the sapphire 4gb version.
Interesting. Mine is 8GB and somehow it did work with the version I have used in the video.
Hey, I have RX 580 and I do this on my card but when I restart my pc it dont come up and I dont had screen... so I shutdown pc using power button and switch my card bios (it is xfx rx 580 8 gb with dual bios) and system come up. but problem is I donno how I can flash that bios again without flash this switched bios because if I lose this bios too I cant do any thing. plz help me.
anyway my problem is when I buy card I find out a minig bios is installed on both card bios and I cant install any version of AMD adrenaline driver so I see ur solution and do it.
To flash the bricked bios‚ you either have to use an iGPU (if your CPU has any) or as you said‚ power on with the "working" bios and while booting flip the switch on the broken bios.
Before flashing make sure to check your exact model of RX 580. I know there are some different models of XFX. You can add me on discord and I am gonna try my best to help you.

My nickname is Onlione and I have a pfp with one of those black guys that was doing the coffin dance.
I got an error 43 with my XFX RX580 2048SP 8GB. Maybe it was because the only BIOS on techpowerup was unverified?
It could be. However, try to search on the techpowerup forum, probably someone had the same problem before.
Good video thank you!
I am glad that it helped you :)
Hey with a dual bios switch does it matter which mode it is set to when you do this? I have a sapphire rx590 GME I bought used with a janky bios and an almost impossible part number to find the right bios but I did and this worked perfectly, before I had tons of black screens off and on, now it's better but still...once in a while it still does it, but much much less, card is much more stable any experience with that?@@MirelRC
Eureka! AMD black screen issues solved. Making a custom resolution and just matching it to whatever your monitor is, mine was just set already properly, and CHANGING that 'CVT' to reduced buffering totally cleared up my problem, 0 black screens. th-cam.com/video/TzHBc10F_fU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you bro ❤❤
You're welcome. ❤️
Hello everyone
I bought mined xfx rx580 it's already have mining bios..
when I run furmark at 1380x720 the temperature is rising to 85c° it's normal ?
if i change thermal paste it's gonna be ok ?
It is ok. It's a safe temperature. Usually, XFX RX 580s tend to go with higher temps. You could try to replace the thermal paste. Make sure to measure the pads that are on the memory‚ in case if they will break‚ you'll have to replace them. Also. What clocks do you have on your XFX?
@@MirelRC core clock 1366 to 2000
memory clock 1366 to 2000
texture fillrate 196.7 GTexel/s
it's good ?
@@UltraNoob_06 did you flashed a "stock" bios? Those are stock values.
@@UltraNoob_06 yes. If drivers work without problems. This should be a stock bios. You could check the second bios if your model has dual bios. maybe it was flashed only one bios.
is there any way to check what bios version do you currently have? i bought a used rtx 580 that turned out to have been used for mining but im not sure that i should be taking the risk (because there always is some) of flashing a new bios. besides, my model (sapphire nitro +) has dual bios, presumably at least one slot would be left untouched?
You can check the clocks with GPU-z. The bios version seems to be the same between different versions of Sapphire Nitro+ (even though some might have 4 or 8 GB or higher clocks).
One bios would have a silent profile and the other will have a performance profile (or OC profile; each manufacturer calls it a bit different). But in case of Sapphire‚ the Performance bios is the one that has the higher boost clock that is marketed on their spec page. So, for an RX 580 Nitro+ the performance bios should have a boost of 1411 MHz and the Silent bios should have a boost of 1340 MHz.
Before flashing anything, I recommend you to make a backup to the bios you want to overwrite (to flash over the new bios).
If the other bios is untouched by the guy that used it for mining‚ use that other bios as there isn't a big difference between them.
To switch between bioses you can flick that small switch in the opposite direction.
Nice video bro btw i need help I just flash my rx470 mining. The display just show 20sec after it bootup to window then it just go black screen what should i do ?
Hmm what model of RX 470 is that?
I have same problem with my Asus RX 580 8GB mining edition with only DVi display port, it turns off display and the GPU fans stops while the CPU fan is still running….. I don’t know if I flash a new bios it will solve the problem
Well, I don't have any experience with those Mining Edition. But before doing anything with it‚ back-up your BIOS‚ you have many ways of doing that. I would suggest to make 2 or 3 back-ups‚ one with GPU-Z and one with amdvbflash software.
Then you have to watch for the specs of your GPU in GPU-Z. The most important being the Memory vendor and Shader count.
If you have an iGPU in your PC it would be even more helpful in case the thing will not gonna display.
After that you'll have to find a bios for Asus RX 580 GPUs with the same Shader count and same memory vendor.
I hope it will not gonna be a hustle to do that‚ as some Mining GPUs have some "protections".
I would suggest making a post on techpowerup forum. There are some awesome guys that know more than me and they have more experience with those mining GPUs.
@@MirelRC thanks I’ll try if I can get it to work
Thank you
You're welcome
Hey guys I don't know why but my hackintosh doesn't see my used GPU that I've buyed from an used store, the card was from a miner I think because on windows works fine but on hackintosh not.
The Rx 580 is a compatible 100% hardware for hackintosh build.
I think there is a custom Bios on it which it may the reason why on macOS the card won't work and I get black screen or freezed, this video can go back to original stock BIOS of the sapphire RX 580 8GB?
Help
It is a Sapphire nitro? If yes can you try by using the secondary bios? Some miners just flashed only the performance bios. Also‚ you can use GPU-Z to watch what frequency you have for GPU and VRAM.
www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
@@MirelRC Hi thanks for responding and yes it's Sapphire nitro 8GB model so I need to click there my GPU model to know the info?
@@manueldeangelis161 with GPU-z you can see some info of your GPU if you press on Lookup button it can send you to a techpowerup page with specs of your GPU. If the page says something like unknown model or something like that 100% there is a custom bios flashed. And default clocks for OC'ed bios (or performance bios) should be 1411 for core clock and 2000 for mem clock. On silent bios core clock should be 1340 and 2000 for mem clock.
so my 1070 when idle memory core going 4004mhz in powertech say 2002mhz? in my cpu 2002mhz that normal or ex mining?
If you idle, the core clock and mem clock will get lower to save power.
When it is in use, the mem clock should be 2002, and the core clock will depend exactly on your model's capabilities.
I get when doing -fp "SSID mismatch ERROR 0FL01"
What model is yours, did you bought from it from China?
Can you try to save your present bios and try to flash it to see if it says the same error?
I buy an rx580 4GB(sapphire nitro) on e bay , all work (video streaming,browser)but when i run game pc freeze and black/green/etc screen. Windows does not detect any errors on the video card but I noticed that on the AMD program if I go to GPU tuning the maximum frequency is set to 1100 (approximately). Could this be a sign that the card has been flashed in a mining bios? Thanks if you answer
Pretty much. OC or Performance bios should reach around 1411 MHz while boosting. The base clock is 1257 MHz. I am not sure if the 4GB model has dual bios, but you can try the other one if it has a bios swith, maybe it has the second bios untouched.
@@MirelRC i have the switch button,but I was afraid of doing damage by moving it? Do you think that would solve the problem?
@@SanderSonic Well, if the second bios isn't modified, it could be an easy "fix".

@@MirelRC ok man,tomorrow i try and i update my situation..thanks for tips
So i have a XFX rx 580 2048SP 8GB, i suspect before i bought it, it used for mining
For some reason the display is not quite right, it has random tiny green dots showing up but popping out randomly like tv noise when not picking signal right and quite a lot, not obvious because its so small, but when the screen show darker image its much more noticeable
Is it on the mining bios possibly? Should i reflash it?
I am not 100% sure in this case. Sometimes‚ wrong frequency can make the GPU show artifacts. Sometimes it could be a sign of its end being closer. Though could you tell me what clocks do you have on this GPU?
@@MirelRC i think its on 1286mhz, memory clock is 1750mhz
I cant recheck it because i'm on a business trip right now
Is it possibly a dying vram too?
The only problem i have when gaming right know is when its playing mh rise, first loading cache make it flickering black like crazy and For now i'm just suspecting its not on the original bios
How do you know if its not on the right bios?

Ok, i'll try it when i get home,
Thank you
Bro i bought a asus strix 1070 . But its rgb lights not tuning on . I think it used for mining and all lights turned off by miner because heat problems . Can i fix this flashing my gpu bios
Firstly you can check if your VGA bios is flashed. Get GPU-z to check the clocks:
-gpu clock (base) should be for you 1506 MHz
-boost clock should be 1683 MHz
-mem clock should be 2002 MHz (8Gbps effective speed)
And you can press on the lookup button on top right. If that button sends you to the right page of your GPU‚ it should be alright.
BTW try to check the RGB connectors to see if there is any cable disconnected. If not I recommend you to try to use SignalRGB‚ as with Asus software I've had badluck until now.
@@MirelRC 🌼💙
@@gamerzone_lk is your GPU alright?
hello. and why does it say error if the model absolutely same? like i chose exactly my model sapphire rx 580 pulse 8 gb
It might be an S/N mismatch. Or something else isn't working correctly. I can recommend you go on the techpowerup forum on the AMD/ATI section. Some cool guys could help you furthermore.
@@MirelRC Thank you!
Hello Mirel, thanks for the video
I have a question, i saw a similar video where someone force flashes an rx 5700 with a rx 5700 xt in a similar way, but they use -unlockrom 0 before running the flash to force flash it, instead of using -fp like here, do both methods work or should i use the one here since the video is more recent?
To be fair‚ I am not really sure‚ I always used -fp for R9 380x and RX 400/500 GPUs. Probably with Navi GPUs they changed the commands for flash tool.
Hi i got a question i got an rx 580 sapphire nitro + 8gb am i broke the bios switch and now its stuck on the normal bios, and i want to flash the bios to the 1411mhz like the other bios, you think this is a good ideea?
It should work but in case of instabilities, or even flashing the wrong BIOS, I recommend you to have an iGPU or a secondary GPU to be able to flashback your RX 580 in case you get no output from it.
Don't forget to make a backup to your present stock BIOS.
Also, if you're skilled at soldering, try to replace the switch.
I'd suggest using the 2.93 version, since the rx 580 is an old card. I force flashed mine using it, now It's working great. If you're not having any issues with the quiet bios then I wouldn't recommend flashing them to the performance ones since there's not much of a difference.
How to check if my second hand gpu use for minimg?
The only way I know is to use GPU-Z.
There are 2 ways of telling that.
One by looking at clocks:
GPU clock
Memory
Boost
All 3 should match what the values your model has specified by the manufacturer.
And a second thing would be by pressing on "Lookup" button on top right in GPU-z.
Also, I think that there could be another way of checking if the GPU has S/N or P/N written on it and then check the S/N or P/N with amdvbflash GUI tool.
so i think i got this problem however on my new pc with i5-12400f it does work to enter bios and windows but on windows the fans stop spinning (in bios they spin and works to move around there, motherboard ASUS PRIME H610M-K D4) and i can only move the mouse around the desktop nothing works do you know what do i need to do? i had the f90 bios and i installed the f93 from the gigabyte site (with the f90 it didnt even boot) as my gpu is rx 580 8gd-mi ver 1.1 do you know which version should i install ? There is F3.F83,F93 and FZ3 version which should i choose
Frate sti cum sa rezolv?
@@Davidut366 you gotta check what memories your GPU has. For REV 1.1 there are Micron and SkHynix.
For the Micron version, I see that there are 2 versions FZ3 and F93. Theoretically, if your GPU had F90 - F92, you have to use the F93, for FZ0 - FZ2, you have to use FZ3. Also, after BIOS flash, you have to use the atikmdag-patcher (specifically if your GPU isn't detected). The flash utility and patcher are available on the Gigabyte page of that GPU.

I am so sorry, but right now I don't have an RX 580 or similar GPU from that generation. It will be easier for you to search on the techpowerup forum, or even post there.
Hi, how do i know if i have mining or gaming bios on my gpu
Try to use GPU-Z from techpowerup. Then press on lookup button. In theory, it should send you to an official specs page from techpowerup for your GPU. And at the same time, GPU clock and GPU mem clock should match the ones specified by your vendor.
I still get the same error doing -fp

I want you to check 2 things. What VRAM manufacturer do you have on your RX 580, and tell me if you were trying to flash the bios on silent mode or OC mode.
Silent mode means that the bios switch is towards GPU I/O.
OC mode means that the bios switch is in the opposite direction of I/O.

Hey, I got my hands on 2 AliExpress branded 2048 SP cards.
Both started to black screen after booting onto Window. But both displayed video property with default VGA basic drivers.
After installing the official AMD 580 drivers is when they started to black screen.
Would this be a good indicator of a minig BIOS?
@@KSword007 could be a mining BIOS or just a bad BIOS the guys have flashed onto that GPU. You could try to search on techpowerup for such situations, some guys succeeded in fixing those GPUs, and some didn't.
It could work to flash an RX 570 BIOS (usually you have to find a GPU that could match the Outputs of your RX 580 2048sp), but it isn't guaranteed.
@@MirelRC The cards DO work, as even when they black screen, Windows boots properly and I hear the startup chime.
@@KSword007 yeah. I know, the problem is if it doesn't have the correct vBIOS, it will not output the image after installing AMD's official drivers, some will not output even without drivers.
When I flashed the first time the GPU I used in this video, I used the wrong BIOS, and it was not outputting the image with AMD's drivers installed.
Also, if you will flash a new BIOS on those 2048sp GPUs, you have to match the memory vendor too, so you will have to disassemble the cooler if you want to be 100% sure what Memory vendor the GPU has. You'll have to do that for both.
And in case you have an iGPU on your PC, you could use the iGPU to output in case the flashed BIOS can't display images even without Drivers.
Your Bios, Vram or BGA is going bad. The cards are garbage. You can try to blast them with some heat, but just because you hear the windows chime dont mean shit, you can boot windows 10 without a gpu and get the same result. The cards will black screen when you load up drivers? The Vram is bad, the bios chip is bad or the cold solder behind the GPU has broken off due to constant heat and re-heat cycles. You might be able to blast it with some heat, like throw it in a oven and fix the borken cold solder. Works about 50% of the time. Keep in mind in the future, when a GPU behaves like this, it is no longer going to work properly. The GPU is in "limp mode" like a car with the check engine light.
