Is anyone able to explain how the min acoustic level and the minimum fan speed play nicely together in WattMan?

If I set the minimum fan to 1000rpm, does that mean I have to set the min acoustic level below that? Or doesn't it make a blind bit of difference?

JoeF1 · 18 Aug 2016 at 19:15

I set my acoustic 10 more than my state 1 figure, so it will always be silent until i game.

Anyone using a Powercolor RX Devil 480? You might want to update the bios.

My Nitro Crossfire System most times crashes in 3D Mark Benchens, only the benchmark not the whole system

Games and all other stuff run very well without any problems. tried 16.8.1 and 16.8.2.. Any suggestions or others are running in same troubles ?

There's some pretty odd things in that thread. Can anyone with a Powercolor Devil confirm that power limit bug? Also, why were reviewers able to up it to 50%, were they running a different bios?

Agreed. I don't know if it is valid as i don't have one of those cards to test, but thought it might be worth sharing incase anyone has issues.

I've got one on order, so I'll return with info... whenever it arrives.

I have it, can only set +/-5% in wattmann. I'm a bit sceptical of flashing using a bios from reddit being hosted on google so will wait for something official.

I was thinking the same. I've contacted Powercolor support, I'll post an update when I get a response.

I used there support once for bios update and powercolor were very helpfull, they emailed the bios and flashing software with full instructions how to flash

benjii · 19 Aug 2016 at 19:00

I just received two emails back from Powercolor (read bottom to top)

AMDMatt, what do you think?

Hmm, not sure. I would probably side with Powercolor if they say that the post is not from them. I would test the card when you get it, the bug (as it is described) should be easy to reproduce.

benjii · 19 Aug 2016 at 19:15

miller745 (few posts above) said he had it. Is it an issue AMD are aware of?

miller745 · 19 Aug 2016 at 19:37

Here's what wattman displays for me
