should also consume less power and produce less heat which should be a bit quieter , the case you've gone for, you know they do a Tempered glass version (which cuts down sound better then metal ) with sound dampening inside i believe...

No I don't understand either

If you know your way around hardware, the Vega 56 and be flashed to a Vega 64

WCCFTech reports that this is not really true.

Well, sadly, I’m here to tell you that flashing your Vega 56 with a Vega 64 vBIOS won’t unlock any additional hardware in the chip. Even if GPU-Z is telling you otherwise. All it does is boost the core and HBM clock speeds. Which is why many users have reported noticing performance gains after having flashed their GPUs. GPU-Z has also been updated, it will now report the correct number of shaders and TMUs no matter what BIOS version you have.

i never said it unlocks the full core, i said it can match the performance almost exactly

*or maybe i didn't word it clearly enough- in that case i do apologise **

ah WCCFT...

Thasnk for all the help and advice (much needed) and patience.
@Plec Thanks again for being just around the corner (so to speak) whenever I post a query...

Pleasure - hope the build goes smoothly - your daughter must be thrilled with the end result.

Post back if you run into problems - one of us is usually lurking.

I will, although she will have to clean her room/den/pit beforehand

You will have ultimate power over her for a full 24 hours

sure mentioning how "dust can void all warranties and make it break " might hold up for a further week haha
