Been a higher mid range card adding a block isn't really worth it. The slider maxes at 2950mhz with a 1200mv out of the box core. I've run 2900mhz set with ease. Fingers crossed you get a nice piece of silicon too!
@Chud_Jenny the water block its just because of noise, and because well, there are three 360mm rads in the case.. Leaving just the cpu is weird. Probably I won't get any good overclocker, I never do haha
@Jesaul yeah I agree.. but in my case that will be 20-25fps more without going into too much trouble, like selling in ebay to get a good money out of it, then looking for a new gpu, that would be a week without pc..

Lol your pc is as bonkers as mine then. I've got three 360's and a 120 for good measure.
@Chud_Jenny hehehehe! I just did not slap any other rad because I used the back grill of the o11d to place two noctuas 80x80 fan in there, otherwise I'd put a 120 rad in that place 
I'll go out on a limb and say its you that posted in the AMD subreddit ?
Personally I wouldn't as the VII is a still a capable card , on compute its a bit of a of a wolf in sheep's clothing. AM guessing the guy is a miner as that's why he's after it. In which case it's worth more than that.

Im in the same boat, a little bit of me is tempted by a new card but the VII is such a great all round piece of kit I just keep having the feeling I will kick myself. The only price/peformance ratio point for me would be a 3070 and I genuinely don't know what benefits I would see at my res. etc
I have a Freesync 75 1440p panel and it just smashes through everything without a second thought. undervolted it is pretty much silent 90% of the time too

Are radeon vii's prone to dying the same way every time? A lot of months back ebay was literally flooded with broken cards that all had the same symptoms, they would power on, fans spin up, logo illuminate but never any output. Always found it a bit strange that so many were doing the rounds with the same issue, like it was a failed bios update in a lot of cases.

You love your card, you are the last person wh should be buying anything new is these crazy times.
I'd buy a 3090fe then sell the Vii for £1500
