Radeon VII in the OC-Test: With new driver at over 2 GHz

Been testing this and mine will do 2000/1200 without much issue but it needs a few volts to get there. I settled for now on 1900/1200 with an undervolt and that is perfect for every day use :)
 
So what do these do for fan noise? The junction temp is meant to be the fan controller so if this went from 100c+ to 80c odds then the fans must not be spooling up to 3k rpm?

Mine at the above clocks is around 2k rpm which in my case is ok to my ears, might be just a tad noisy but if i dropped the hbm clock a tad it would drop more I am sure. I recon at 1900/1150 ish with an undervolt you are looking at around 1800 rpm which would be nice in terms of acoustics.

But right now the general consensus among reviewers is the card runs loud and doesn't overclock. Amd torpedoing their own launch with shoddy drivers ffs.

From a users perspective since yesterdays drivers dropped it's a huge amount better. Mind you i didn't have any gripes at stock with an undervolt on the previous drivers.
 
Some interesting stuff there, Cheers for linking it. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for ways to watercool my VII.

I've been testing clocks with the Metro Exodus benchmark today but didn't mess around with the actual core clock, Changing it did very little with the 19.2.1 driver & even had a negative effect at times,
I've done a video where I'm testing for thermal throttling and any other negatives by doing an 8 run bench of Metro Exodus with a stock core clock, 1002mv, 1200mhz memory, the power limit at 20% and the fan speed limited to 50% in Wattman.
At the moment there appears to be some microstutter when recording the benchmark with Relive, Hopefully it'll be sorted in the next driver update.



EDIT: I just tried some core overclocks and with it undervolted 1850mhz is as good as it gets for me, That was the only setting I changed from those up above, In the Exodux benchmark it gave me core clocks in the low 1800's or high 1700's. I upped the voltage and tried a 1900mhz core overclock and it gave me a high 1800's clock speed during the Exodus benchmark which only added a couple of extra frames to the averages, I could push further but I'm going to wait until I can watercool it so for now I'll do in game testing with it at 1850.
