R9 290X Owners Thread

The cooler is a beast. 67c @ 1.5v

Don't be afraid to rag it. just make sure you set the fan speed.

1285 core, but scoring less. Needs a cool down ;)
 
But of course :)



For Lightning it's: /wi6,32,8d, 10-20-30 and so on.

Guys its easy to give more volts on msi.

Just use /wi4,30,8d,10 for 100mv. The offset is 6.25 mv in hexademical. So on decimal is :16*6.25=100 mv. For 50mv you need 8. For 200mv you need 20( 20=32 on dec. So 32 * 6.25=200mv)

The easy way to do changes:

Create a txt on desktop. Write
CD C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner
MSIAfterburner.exe /wi4,30,8d,10

and then save as .bat file. Eveyrtime you start this bat file msi will start with +100mv

For 50mv: 8
For 100mv:10
For 125mv:14
For 150mv:18
For 175mv:1C
For 200mv:20

I wouldn't go over this point because
1)You are close to leave the sweet spot of the ref pcb vrms efficiency
2)These commands add 200mv on top of the 100mv offset through AB gui.That means 300mv

By default /wi command apply to current gpu only. So if you have 2 or more gpus you must use /sg command. That means the command line is something like that
ex:MsiAfterburner.exe /sg0 /wi4,30,8d,10 /sg1 /wi4,30,8d,10

Except the command is 'wi6' now, not 'wi4' used in that thread.

+150mv=

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.exe" /wi6,30,8d,18

+200mv=

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.exe" /wi6,30,8d,25

If you don't make batch files, you need to exit AB, click the shortcut with added voltage(nothing happens) then launch your normal AB shortcut.

Red screen of death FTW.

my physics score in FS is messed up. Used to get 60fps @ 4.8 now I'm only getting 40. That's a known bug with 290s though is not with FS?

Yeah pal it is, to cure it, I had to- in afterburner, settings, unofficial overclocking-select without powerplay support, apply, put in your overclock settings, make sure powerlimit is maxed-apply.

Go to ccc, overdrive enable overclocking, put powerlimit to 50%. Apply.

Try that, worked for me, why changing this affects the cpu scores is beyond me.
But it does and this is the only way I could fix it.

What should happen is your clocks should now stay locked to whatever you have them overclocked to, regardless of temps, it won't throttle.

Tip, always check ccc after applying any overclocks in either ab or gpu tweak, as applying an overclock seem to reset the powerlimit in ccc, check it last before you run a benchmark.
