Don't think so, it's at the buyer's risk.

The million $ question is, will these blocks allow for the use of the AMD reference back plate like with there Vega blocks!?

It would be very stupid of them to not make it compatible with their blocks.

True but its another £30-40 in there pockets if they don't!

Just got around to updating my bios again!
No issues just ran the exe and was done in a matter of seconds again. Quick restart and done.

Old bios:


New bios:

Flashed new bios, nothing different. Same level of uv and oc achieved.

Same I thought it changed something but if anything it made the huge overclockers less stable and the lower ones more so at lower mv

@Vince my 64 custom loop was the best thing ever never above 60.c , can't wait to do the same to this monster

Hopefully alphacool will do a block aswell. The one I have on my 64 is fab

I think who ever gets to market first with a full cover block will have a lot of sales.

Got a nice under volt now at stock MHZ 1800 920mv with memory at 1150 1 hours gaming on Doom.



These cards get better and better.

Fixed Issues

• Battlefield™ V players may experience character outlines stuck on screen after being revived.
• Fan speeds may remain elevated for longer periods than expected when using Tuning Control Auto Overclock or manual fan curve in Radeon WattMan on AMD Radeon VII.
• ReLive wireless VR may experience an application crash or hang during extended periods of play.
• Zero RPM will correctly disable in Radeon WattMan on available system configurations when manual fan curve is enabled.
• A loss of video may be intermittently experienced when launching a fullscreen player application with Radeon FreeSync enabled.

Known Issues

• Mouse lag or system slowdown is observed for extended periods of time with two or more displays connected and one display switched off.
• Changes made in Radeon WattMan settings via Radeon Overlay may sometimes not save or take effect once Radeon Overlay is closed.

Great fix for these - the BFV thing was annoying!

New Drivers 19.2.3

• Battlefield™ V players may experience character outlines stuck on screen after being revived.
• Fan speeds may remain elevated for longer periods than expected when using Tuning Control Auto Overclock or manual fan curve in Radeon WattMan on AMD Radeon VII.

Hopefully the other known issues mean the FPS overlay will work correctly as well soon.

Where are we sitting vs 1080ti's with big water clocks on these? Might be tempted if they have spare performance under the hood if you can keep them cool enough.

Someone really needs to try a vega water block on these

Steve @ Gamers Nenus is planning to have the part 2 up in the next day or so with the alphacool chop job. Should give an idea of what you can expect.


The vega block looks like this, its the one i currently use. The layout is quite different.
