AMD Radeon R9 295X2 Owners Thread

reckon its worth investing in a better fan for the r9? From what I can tell ab says it's hitting 70c tops after 1 hour of valley .Ab is running at 1000ms settings. Every now and then the gpus drop to 50 percent for a few secs when the temp is reading 68 then they jump upto 90+.

They keeps fluxing every every 5-6 seconds so I guess my case is just not getting the air out fast enough.

Initially you said the 4770K is running at 4.4Ghz. Unfortunately is running at 3.5Ghz according to the Valley screenshot,hence the low scores also.

Nice, what're you temps like?

Sync, that looks great, love the colour scheme on that. If I had spare money I'd love to chuck that on mine.

Thanks, typical red and black theme for AMD :)

Around 50c. Disabling ULPS allowed me to push it to 1190, before that I couldn't get above 1110.

Mate, I am very jealous. :o

I have to wait for December to sort out my watercooling. :(

Please, try to put it to 1200 and put your name on the leaderboards for Valley and Heaven also :D

You should be very close to Kaapstad at 1200 oc.

Btw do you use the Sapphire old Bios? If so, where can i find it?
(someone else did but no link to get it.....)

I'm using the stock bios at the moment, Ati (1002). I managed to find the sapphire oc bios on another forum for the master and slave core but not tried it yet. As it should allow me to increase memory above 1625. I'm not sure it will allow me to push the cores any further though.

Few pages back someone under water, had the card to 1200/1650 with that old bios and was going to push more.

But we haven't heard since. Probably managed to hit 1300 and had a heart attack from the sheer shock of extra POWERRRRR. (or too addicted to the extra power and cannot bother to give us an update, I know happens :D)
 
I might give it a go tonight with the Sapphire OC bios. Will let you know findings if I do.

Do these cards have a dual bios? As in 2 per core, because I read you need to flash a the Master core then the Slave core. Just wondering if that switch on the side allows you to switch bios's.

There is a switch on the board to switch the Bios. Try it first

how did someone get beyond 1100mhz without running out of power from the two 8pin plugs?

I got to 1135 and heat is my limit with just 50% PL over stock (0mV).
And fails at scene 8 on Valley at 1190 with +10mV due to heat. (basically it starts throttling and I just stop it).

Also with most of us running them at -70mV, (some lucky one at -100), means they are the best of the best 290X chips ever came out of production.

See my score on Valley. At 1135/1625, I am far higher than many who have clocked their 290X CF at 1250!!!!, and have far superior CPUs.
