Do you mean your getting 1600mhz in actual use while your running something, or do you mean its the setting you got it at?

I was just saying that as a rough guide. My actual current settings are 1632mhz with 1050mV set in wattman which tends to boost between 1600 and 1625mhz depending on game.

Oh ok, is it stable with a stress test like the one with 3d mark?
Soldato
yeah I've tested with the firestrike stress test and got 99.7% and not had any issues in games. I'm using vega 64 bios and card has an EK full cover block on it. Checking max temps lastnight with gpuz after playing PUBG for about 1 hour Core was 43c and HBM and hotspot both 50c.
HMB at 1100mhz and core boost was between 1615 and 1625mhz

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your Vega 56.

what's up with images? The usual BB code isn't working.

I don't recall the other numbers but graphics score looks right

That's some nice temps you got there.

Hello Geck0
I had to add ".jpg" at the end of the link to get it to load properly for me.
I'm really interested in doing a mod like your G10 AIO mod to your Vega 56. But unsure about the mounting holes on the backplate and the retention bracket - how much did you have to modify yourself?
this might be able to help

I tried both ways to link it and it didn't work. Guess I don't get on the roll LOL.
Best way to mod the G10 is to use the "spider plate" from the stock card, the little spring plate from the back of the GPU to make a template to drill the holes in the back plate of the G10 (the small plate). Or you can template off the copper cooler legs in this case, it's probably better. Once you have that sorted mount the screws to the plate and fit the assembly on the card with the screws pointing up. Use white paint pen dots on the retention screw ends while lowering the main plate centered as best you can see - your eyes are remarkably accurate and i refer to this as the "eyeometer". drill the holes in the main plate and widen them with a small rat tail file if required or drill them larger. Careful drilling.
As long as you have the system reasonably centered it's not critical, just ensure that the coldplate clears the VRM and covers the GPU & HBM. You (very important) seat it firm with your hand, then while applying pressure hand tighten the screws to just seat, not tight. rough measure the screw length and make sure the coldplate is level as can be, then tension each corner in an opposing pattern like wheel nuts but only 1 turn to start then .5 turn then .45 until you think you will break something, then give it a little more, it has to be F*kin tight or you waste the cooling potential. These AIO coldplates are convex and need a bit of tension to flatten out.
Sounds scary but really not that bad. Be careful and think your next step and you will ace it. Be an architect, not a bricklayer and you will be fine.
Thank you both, really good advice! I'm looking at ordering a G10/12, but wanted to check if there was a more expansive list of compatible AIO coolers other than the ones listed already on NZXT's site?
Also, has anyone had any success using copper shim(s) to bridge the gap in using the stock cooling frame (front plate) and mounting a modified AIO cooler?
Interesting find: Raijintek Morpheus II custom heatsink cooler designed for R9 Fury (and other cards) but works with Vega cards thanks to 64mm by 64mm mounting bracket and backplate. Looks like a handful are in stock too: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/raij...on-high-performance-vga-cooler-hs-028-rt.html

I reused the Kraken X41 as it's (for me) the best compromise between trying to shoehorn a 240mm rad in and the 120 being inadequate in my opinion. a 140mm rad that is nice & thick will perform almost as well as a thin 240 anyway. 5yr warranty on NZXT AIO's too.

Is there an AIO cooler for the vega 56 ?
Associate
alphacool have one if they ever get it into stock
Soldato
I realllllllllllly need one, where else can i buy one?
I got so very lucky on the silicon lottery I will post my scores and undervolt/overclocking here soon once i join the club with my vega pictures.
Im getting a 24,000+ graphics score on firestrike with standard 56 bios (overall score let down by my physics score of 9000 - i5 6600k)
I have had one on order for ages. I also did well on silicon lottery and am wondering what this fella can do. I've ordered alphacool eiswolf 240 but we are looking at another couple of weeks for stock.
