The R9 Nano Fiji Owners Thread

Panos said:
Try the settings I proposed few posts ago. Also raise the memory to 550 with those. You will see that any coil whine will disappear, the card also runs cooler, and is more stable with the overclock.

The above settings eliminated completely the issue I had with DX9 games (WOT/WOWS) also. (never had issues with DX10/11/Mantle games)

Just applied the settings, gonna do a farcry primal run. What fan profile do you use?

So left it running at 100% load on the GPU (Aida64) no glitches or hitches or those weird squares. GPU temp sat steady at 84 degree.
Went for my dinner, card cooled to 43 degree (i turned off Aida) but those weird square anomalies were on my second monitor this time. Started up farcry and the game itself on my main monitor was fine but the squares were flashing on the second monitor. Got about 4 minutes of gameplay before the game froze and then both monitors lost signal. Rebooted PC and now those weird squares are on both monitors. Flashing on my main monitor and just constantly on half my second monitor.


I've returned to stock clock and the squares have now gone. Would like to overclock but just stuck with where to start or go.

Those artifacts at idle are a known issue, under investigation. We hope to have a fix soon.

Release Notes

  • Core clocks may not maintain sustained clock speeds resulting in choppy performance and or screen corruption

Regarding the game freeze, stick voltage up a notch or two or lower the core clock 5-10Mhz. Keeping the temperature of the GPU lower will increase stability and may reduce the voltage required to sustain stability at a set clock speed.

Interesting stuff.

Problem is the game crashed when i was running negative voltage (as per others telling me in this thread) and they report even higher core clocks too. Maybe I've got a less overclockable card (or just a slightly duff one hence the artifacts at idle) so do i reduce the core clock? or go to a positive voltage increase?

I've tried figuring a price to setup a watercool loop including nano waterblock and its all coming out at over £50.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £383.38
(includes shipping: £11.70)

AMDMatt, is there anything you can recommend re: how hot and/or noisy the card gets?

I mean I'm aware I don't have the best case in the world but surely what a GTX970 can do, a Nano should be able to at least match?

Can you compare a GTX970 with a FuryX?

That loop looks ok to me although I wonder whether the one radiator would be enough? Anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply, I wondered that too. here's my second attempt to reduce cost.

I could add a third 140 radiator to the front at another £27

280mm would be okay for temps, but fans would need to remain medium-high. I run the Nano and 4690k on slim radiator and fans do need to be ramped up somewhat. Being a thicker rad and 280 mm should prove useful, but more radiator capacity would have course be ideal.

This one is a better list then your second attempt to reduce cost with the 2 x 140mm radiators. Just means you need more fittings and kind of awkward as you will be taking up more radiator locations. What case do you have?

Xigmatek aquila. Its alright. I found a nice looking build online where he used two 120/140 rads. In the top instead of one long one.

I'm still get those annoying squares at idle too, even with stock clock. Hopefully fix comes soon.

Undervolting.

My lowest Fury X was stable at 1050/545Mhz at -0.036v and my best is stable at -0.048v at stock clocks. This lowers temps a 3-4C on water and likely more on air. If you are happy with 1000 as your maximum clock speed you should be able to go to around -0.066v to 0.078v or thereabouts. Your mileage may vary.

I find the stock Nano fan reasonably bearable up to around 55% but of course it's all subjective. As far as comparing to a 970 the power usage would be comparable with the 970 but the GTX970 reference has a larger heatsink area to help dissipate that heat and custom AIB 970s have 2x or 3x fans.

What you doing with power limit when going lower on voltage?

Any news on getting rid of the artifacts at idle? Is ti worth returning my card and trying another one or are they all affected?

+50% always, no reason to lower it.

Wait for a driver update to resolve that issue. Or (unofficial hat on) use Clock blocker to lock 3D clocks at idle.
 
What app do you recommend to undervolt? MSI AB?

I assume it can't be done using the standard AMD settings?

I use MSI Afterburner and 2D/3D profiles to undervolt. No need to mess about with anything, it's applied automatically.

Voltage control will never be added to Overdrive.
