I have seen this with the 6 pin models of the 480 cards it will pull in too much power have seen 4 of them spark and red smoke come out of 1 of the cards that have had the 580 bios put on them. I have not seen it with the 8 pin models. Before the Bios the cards ran just fine.
I have seen this in my RMA lab on some 480 cards that have come in as an RMA and 1 cards I flashed and tested myself. Now all of them sparked and produce smoke but it was something we saw with a few of the cards after the Bios update I am requesting pictures of the PCB board to see if there was visual burning or marking on the PCB itself.
I just saw your video on this before seeing the comments. I was about to link your own video in this thread haha. Thanks again for uploading that video, even though I don't have a 6 pin. It's interesting, and I'm still holding off flashing my Powercolor rx 480 8gb Red Devil even though people seem to have good results on it.
I really don't get it why people are going crazy about flashing an RX 480 to an RX 580. It's literally a slightly overclocked RX 480. It's much safer to just overclock the card rather than try to flash it to RX 580. You can also get better performance by overclocking - my RX 480 reached 1465/2265 stable with +100mV, which is higher than any 580.
actually XTX usually get nearly 1500 MHz from what I've saw and XTR versions can get between 1500-1550 (its a 1500 Mhz guaranteed clock...not like the XTX. and all that while remaining on about )
I think you should mention that the Flash from a Rx480 to a Rx580 is pretty dangerous. Especially because the VRMs on the 480s are most of the time simply not strong enough for the high 580 Bioses. You can easily end up burning your VRMs and therefore destroying your GPU! Also, Many 480s cannot run the high frequencies stable and you could end up with a GPU which is not able to boot, because when you boot your PC up, the GPU runs at full speed and if it crashes then, you end up crashing your system as it is not able to load properly into Windows. Remember that your PCB and your Silicon (and many GPU chips are binned for the high Freq. cards) can limit you the hard way. If you flash your Red Devil 480 to a 580, you most probably will blow up your VRMs. just as a Reminder.
that being said, some of the better 480s like sapphire and HIS have double bios, if they run cool you could do it by having the fans work harder when you turn it to a 580. with a dual bios 480 its less dangerous, but you have been warned!
Deeveeaar it's not about heat. it is about the VRMs not capable of delivering the current the card demands. On some cards with crappy VRMs, this will definitely lead to a broken VRM resulting in a broken card. and there will be no warranty service
Wtf? Even reference rx 480's have a vrm setup with better quality fets than a 1080. Is this a joke? Don't spread misinformation if you don't know shit please. edit: 6 phases for core high side mdu1514 rated for 40A 125*c www.magnachip.com/userfiles/PowerSolutions/MDU1514.pdf low side mdu1511 rated for 100A 25*c docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/13d2/0900766b813d20bf.pdf The only problem you would have flashing to rx 580 is probably the removal of the driver fix that stops and rx 480 from pulling power from your pcie bracket. An rx 580 doesn't pull any power for its memory or core from the pcie so if your driver thinks your card is a rx 580 instead of a 480 then you would undo whatever fix they put in place. So the only danger to flashing an rx 480 to 580 is your piece of shit motherboard pcie not being able to handle enough current. Use a decent motherboard and it won't be a problem.
Pat that is the reference card? power color says that you should NOT run FurMark with their RX 480 RedDevil because this can lead to a blown up VRM. Several PCBs got beefed up VRMs for the 580 Chips/Bios, and there are quite many some VRMs which are simply not capable of delivering the power needed. Gigabyte's VRM is nearly 25% percent weaker on the RX 480 than the reference VRM. the reference card has very, very good components on it. so please stop talking stuff. if that what you said woul be true,no manufacturer would even think of a new PCB with new VRM, but they did.
IMO the 480/470 is a very power efficient card if you undervolt it. I have mine at -96mv 1266mhz and it only draws about 100 watts in afterburner(you can probably add about 20+ watts for fan so estimate 120watts). If I were set on buying a more powerful AMD card I would get a cheap Fury, things a beast 10% or so below a 1070/980TI. Otherwise just wait for Vega, 580 is really just an overclocked 480 with better power delivery and cooling.
I'm sure there is some improvements and binning is bound to be better with Polaris being around a while, reminds me of 290/390. I think its a shame AMD didn't go for faster Ram though, Polaris really benefits from faster RAM and Nvidia are going for it with their 1060 refresh. Either way Vega cannot come soon enough, I hope it fixes the weaknesses of the Fiji I want that gaming and compute power for both mining and gaming.. Don't think it will beat 1080TI but you never know!
I dunno bout that price, its a bigger die than 1080TI and 8gb HBM2 aint cheap. If it doesn't at least come close to 1080TI performance AMD are definitely going to struggle with Vega.
Son of a Tech please telll me the noob sapphire rx 480 8gb cant update bios of sapphire rx 580 it says systemid not match... the best in the world msi and xfx achieved it but noob sapphire mom dies if it achieve anything in this world except money eating
Thanks for the video. I think the main benefit of flashing RX580 bios is the lower power consumption in IDLE state and Video playback, but I can't find any proof of this anywhere. I hope AMD can roll out newer BIOS for the RX400 users, instead of letting them take this unnecessary risk.
Amd didnt tell any one to do it , how are they letting people do it . It is not there intention that 480 owners get the 580 bios and flash it to the wrong card. they just expect people to have more sense
My card definitely did use less power while idle or watching videos with the 580 BIOS than my stock XFX GTR-S Black BIOS... With the stock BIOS while watching 4k TH-cam, it would spike up to ~40W occasionally (usually sat around 15-25W, though... With the 580 BIOS, it sat around 7-11W and very rarely spiked to 20-30W... I started getting random crashes while gaming, though, so flashed it back to a 480, but not my stock 480 BIOS... I used the Sapphire Nitro+ OC (clock speed of 1342MHz) BIOS and while it does use a bit more power than the 580 BIOS, it's still lower than my stock BIOS and is much more stable than the 580 with nearly the same performance and much lower peak power consumption (even runs ~30W lower than my stock BIOS)... I'd suggest to avoid the 580 BIOS and use the best 480 BIOS with a decent overclock, if needed... And as far as I can tell, the Sapphire BIOS is the best for the 480...
Don't pay attention to the sweaty nerds calling you out because they're too impatient to watch a few minutes of a very good and useful video. Keep it up, appreciate this.
OK some clarifications: 480 and 580 have exactly same voltage limits. 580 IS improved silicon and on average it works at same clocks with lower voltage (i have both 480 and 580) You can increase voltage limits on 480.....since august with afterburner and trixx already. There are cards with locked voltages and power limits....BUT....you could already remove those by flashing another 480 bios that doesnt have them. Asus cards (480 AND 580) have very low power limit...for reason only known to Asus...but as i said...another 480 bios would have already removed those limits. Another issue is which VRM power regulator chip your card actually has...most have the same, but some have different ones and generally you will brick your card if you mismatch. On issue of removing power limits, most people that did it just hit another wall: thermal throttling.....because (except on top Asus cards)...power limit was there for a reason and coolers are just not beefy enough. You could squeezze out a bit more OC out of it...but if card is already on limit. What should work more is flashing bios of some 580 with lower clocks....but whats the point as you could have already hit those clocks on 480. Or if you have good OC 480...but again....you can easily increase voltage in Afterburner and Trixx...whats the point really. Much more success i see on 470 -> 570....but none of those are clocked very high to start with. Both Polaris 10 and Polaris 20 have range of quality for chips. And while best Polaris 10 can match mid Polaris 20 chips....top Polaris 10 chips are not on top Polaris 20 level. Its not revolutionary, but it significant and measurable improvement. Personally i dont see much point from flashing 580 bios on 480, all you can end up is card that cant boot or is unstable on new "stock" and if you have a card with low power limit or voltage just flash another 480 bios that doesnt have them. But no, bios wont make you silicon better in any way. Those who knew about those limits ans wanted to remove them hd flashed their 480s long time ago. Those who didnt know....IMO shouldnt try to flash their cards.
No problem, i just see a lot of missinformation floating around "net"....again "just flash your 480 and you have 580". While that might be true for SOME 480....definitely not true for at least top models like Gamnig X, Nitro+... .... ...But essentially AMD didnt "just raise voltages" and bios wont fix bad OC card if you were unlucky. This is my MSI 580 Gaming X+ on same voltage i managed 1425 MHz on 480 Gaming X....and....and least from afterburner/GPU-z readings 580 uses less power. Probably because more efficient VRM. www.3dmark.com/fs/12406077
Very informative and interesting. Just out of curiosity though: What's with all the cuts? Seemed like you were cutting about every 30 seconds at some points, making the video feel a little jumpy and odd...
Deep man i dont think a lot of people would even try this. Its interesting b.c it shows that the RX 580 is just a hair more then a simple re-branding. Out of the 2 rx 480s i have only one uses the 8 pin power connection the other uses 6.
stock vs stock around 10~15%, thermal increase by 3~5 solved it by a custom fan curve using sapphire trixx, & relive is much better than the 480 ver. i had an issue with it.
@@SonofaTech ohhh I just flashed from rx 470 to rx 570 and had some issue regarding with the new adrenaline 2019 edition software. Had to re-install windows and now it's working like a charm. Getting to 1400mhz/2000mhz stable though can't adjust manually just using the slider frequency and voltage on auto. Memory can be adjusted manually with +100mv
I might give it a go some time in the future or maybe not at all. All i need to do is set my clock to 1.4ghz in Strixx and done. Plus i'm not 100% on what software i'd need to flash the Sapphire Nitro OC + 8gb i have. Not sure about how far the ram will go. Haven't really messed around with it much.
I tried flashing my gpu on my xfx rx 480 4gb rs to fix it. Failed. My card crashes no matter what. Anyone else experiencing this problem with this card? Seemed unstable out of the box.
+Sunny Nath I have the same exact card and I can hit 1420-1440mhz and run benchmarks without crashing. I have to really ramp up the fans to keep it from throttling though at that frequency.
Hey can post a screen of your afterburner settings? I was thinking about flashing but it may be Im not giving enough +V, and also trying too high of memory freq. I am short on cash currently and dont want to blow up my card with a questionable flash.
i have this card as well and got 1450 on the core stable and that's with the 480 bios I'm sure xfx overbuilt the chokes and mosfets so I'm betting it can take a 580 bios flash better than most aftermarket 480s
could U please make a list of all RX 480 4gb that can be flashed to 8gb. Please I bought already 3 for nothing just to see that those were not able to be flashed to 8GB So I need someone with 100% sure infos. THX 4 all
Hi people, i have this lovely card but does anyone can tell me how can i get rid of this message because gives me red led at cpu and have to restart all the time...defalut radeon settings have been restored due to a sistem failure? Please help?
... you realise that the GPU core performance on the 580 is better, not by much. ontop of a higher core speed compared to the 480. this includes about 11 mPixels/s. 110 mHash/s. ... in general retrospec. if we use ocean surface as a testing example. the 580 would have a 60% performance increase in all fields compared to the 480... but this is an AMD chip so... saying 60% isnt getting very far.
Well... If are there really people out there with rx 480 that wanna "upgrade" to rx 580? And besides, you CAN actually end up frying your card with a flash. Just OC it as much as you can, if you wan't better performance. The BIOS itself will not deliver higher OC capability of the card, it is just stupid to believe so.
Thanks for the reply, as I am more interested in reducing power requirements while watching YT than gaining a few % in games. And 580 has improved these figures. I'd be glad if they added the features to the 480 series retrospectively.
I just finished flashing it, and I wanted to see how much of a performance boost I achieved. I got on, and played for about a minute, then skyrim crashed. I wasn't able to get back on. When ever I try to get into the map, it wont load.
Lol talking about 6950 i just changed mine for a 480 4gb. I flashed my refference 6950 to 6970 but though it worked fine i didnt like the overvolt thingso i stayed on the stock bios and then unlocked the shaders when it became an option. As for the card i has served me well and so ill place it back into its original box, with all its accessories, as a trophy
Hi I've got the same card in March little bummed cuz i bought it so soon but still a great card, how is the performance boost when you flashed it? is worth it?
hello man. please i have question ryzen 1700 with single slot 8gb ram will work fine? because i have problem every time i plug any USB device into my motherboard gaming pro carbon x370 msi the system is frozen and needed to restart and some times he gives me this massage (clock watchdog time out) and restart please help
Ziad Ch did you Oc your memory? is your memory on the QVL of the Motherboard? Do you have the newest Bios installed? did you install your RAM in the right slot?(second slot from your CPU)
yes everything in the right place no oc anything i have the latest bios update i changed the ram and the hdd and the graphic card and motherboard and the OS the problem same. cpu problem :(
Ziad Ch try to underclock your RAM or try to give your CPU_NB a bit more voltage. maximum voltage is 1.2V for the NB. try with 0.975 and 1 volt. if that doesn't solve the problem, contact your retailer and ask for help/switching CPU
Did flashing to the 580 give you access to ICE and would it have been possible to revert all the clock changes manually (for stability) once flashed so that you could essentially just be flashing to the 580 for the 500 series features (mainly ICE)?
Like he said, this is for people who want to do this for fun while knowing it could brick and void the warranty. And if you're afraid, then just let it be like you said
Flashing a AMD model can and has caused cards to catch fire. That is something important to mention.

i have this card as well and got 1450 on the core stable and that's with the 480 bios I'm sure xfx overbuilt the chokes and mosfets so I'm betting it can take a 580 bios flash better than most aftermarket 480s
How the hell do you flash the bios?
could U please make a list of all RX 480 4gb that can be flashed to 8gb. Please I bought already 3 for nothing just to see that those were not able to be flashed to 8GB
So I need someone with 100% sure infos. THX 4 all
Hi people, i have this lovely card but does anyone can tell me how can i get rid of this message because gives me red led at cpu and have to restart all the time...defalut radeon settings have been restored due to a sistem failure? Please help?
... you realise that the GPU core performance on the 580 is better, not by much. ontop of a higher core speed compared to the 480.
this includes about 11 mPixels/s. 110 mHash/s. ... in general retrospec. if we use ocean surface as a testing example. the 580 would have a 60% performance increase in all fields compared to the 480... but this is an AMD chip so... saying 60% isnt getting very far.
Well if u are going to upgrade to a 580 why not try to flash ur 480 it could work and u can save money
Well... If are there really people out there with rx 480 that wanna "upgrade" to rx 580? And besides, you CAN actually end up frying your card with a flash. Just OC it as much as you can, if you wan't better performance. The BIOS itself will not deliver higher OC capability of the card, it is just stupid to believe so.
Ciao ma è fattibile il cambio BIOS dalla 580 sulla 480 gamming x? Potrebbe avere problemi di incompatibilità? Grazie della risposta :-)
Could you give me the tools you used to flash the graph
Would it be ok to Flash RX480 4gb to 8gb, then flash it from RX480 to RX580
Even though this is 11 months ago did you give it a go? I am sure it will work.
@@lowread9 it didn’t work on my card - I had to revert back to 480 4gb - anything else and the card wouldn’t post
Does the 580 bios enable the low-power states in idle?
Thanks for the reply, as I am more interested in reducing power requirements while watching YT than gaining a few % in games. And 580 has improved these figures. I'd be glad if they added the features to the 480 series retrospectively.
why flash when it decreases performance? is it ok if youre going to flash its bios several times?
thanks for the info
my 480 msi gamingx gets to 1360/2100 on stock voltage 1.15 so probably won't flash lol, but interesting
Can you please send me the link to the bios which you flashed?
thanks!
I did this, and it worked, but fucked up my skyrim.
I just finished flashing it, and I wanted to see how much of a performance boost I achieved. I got on, and played for about a minute, then skyrim crashed. I wasn't able to get back on. When ever I try to get into the map, it wont load.
does your MSI 480 has coil whine ? because Mine had
Son of a Tech What psu do You have -.-
wich card you would recommend? 580 4g or 480 8g? i dont want to flash the 480
thx
visiontek rx 480 8gb is good?
i can buy an asus strix for something like 330usd vs a visiontek for 270usd, wich card you recommend and why? (thx for the help :D!)
Lol watch this on 1.25x speed
Lol last time i flashed my hd6950 it got bricked.
Lol talking about 6950 i just changed mine for a 480 4gb.
I flashed my refference 6950 to 6970 but though it worked fine i didnt like the overvolt thingso i stayed on the stock bios and then unlocked the shaders when it became an option.
As for the card i has served me well and so ill place it back into its original box, with all its accessories, as a trophy
my card can't even go 1350 smh
can you do some quick rundown on ocing the card for me ty
that sucks man....my sapphire 480 nitro+ was at 1346 out of the box and I have it at 1460 on stock voltage.
well i seem to not do it right and i can do 1375 now
stock voltage on 1460 is op
I got 1400/2265 @ stock and 1465/2265 @ +100mV
So i got Asus strix 480 with 3 fan ... Its safe to flash 580 bios right ? :)
Barış Utaş Umm...
ı just made it and its cool : )
overclock it, don't flash it. you can get even higher clocks by overclocking instead of flashing to rx 580 bios.
I flashed it + already overclocked it :) results awasome !!
Hi I've got the same card in March little bummed cuz i bought it so soon but still a great card, how is the performance boost when you flashed it? is worth it?
Not convenient. Gainance is too little. Custom 580 comes with better thermal solutions.
the rx 580 is literally an overclocked 480 lel. you can get even better performance with an overclocked 480.
Not better, since 580 has better and bigger cooler
Stop saying son.. otherwise good show!
Will this improve mining performance tho?
+Juan Pablo Herrera you'll want a custom Rom with 1500 mem timings.
Son of a Tech I already have one flashed to my 470, but thank you.
hello man. please i have question ryzen 1700 with single slot 8gb ram will work fine? because i have problem every time i plug any USB device into my motherboard gaming pro carbon x370 msi the system is frozen and needed to restart and some times he gives me this massage (clock watchdog time out) and restart please help
Ziad Ch did you Oc your memory? is your memory on the QVL of the Motherboard? Do you have the newest Bios installed? did you install your RAM in the right slot?(second slot from your CPU)
yes everything in the right place no oc anything i have the latest bios update i changed the ram and the hdd and the graphic card and motherboard and the OS the problem same. cpu problem :(
Ziad Ch try to underclock your RAM or try to give your CPU_NB a bit more voltage. maximum voltage is 1.2V for the NB. try with 0.975 and 1 volt. if that doesn't solve the problem, contact your retailer and ask for help/switching CPU
Son of a Tech yes slot number 2 if you change the ram slot the pc not running at all
BeaterBurito the nb voltage was a 0.8 i changed to 0.9 seem is working now a will Mike more testing thank you
Anyone has the Bios of the msi rx 580 4gb?
Did flashing to the 580 give you access to ICE and would it have been possible to revert all the clock changes manually (for stability) once flashed so that you could essentially just be flashing to the 580 for the 500 series features (mainly ICE)?
I like your videos but those cuts every 3 seconds are annoying af.
There is an unverified MSI RX580 Gaming X 8GB BIOS on TPU www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/191334/191334 so maybe give that a try?
Dont. Might as well just overclock it because the upgrade is hardly a noticeable difference.
hi dad!
Interesting
This is stupid. For examle rx 480 flashed to 1080ti (joke). It will be just worse. There is no purpose for flashing. Just let the card be yourself
Like he said, this is for people who want to do this for fun while knowing it could brick and void the warranty. And if you're afraid, then just let it be like you said
