Anyone found the best noise to performance overclock?

SHOGUNXSHINOBI · 20 Sep 2017 at 22:25

My temps are around 75c out of the box on a heaven benchmark run and it hits around 85c when I upped the power limit +50, is this normal?

Yes unless you undervolt or up the fan speed it'll throttle.

Ok, I got a bit worried there, it does get bit toasty doesn't it!

SHOGUNXSHINOBI · 20 Sep 2017 at 23:08

Lol, I just upped the fans to full blast and it gave me a little shock but now it keeps it around 65c.

It's loud, properly loud at full wack.

Yep sure is, it gave me a little jump lol, I weren't ready for it.

I have mine in a cupboard, cant hear the 6 fans on the rad, 3 case fans and the cards... going to change the tim though as it might be a while before i get an AIO for it as there is nowt good out yet.
New PB on overclock earlier, 7180 Graphics for timespy and a 22742 graphics for firestrike - all only at 1000mhz ram, i know it will do 1100 so there is more to come.

Vince · 21 Sep 2017 at 00:23

I can hear mine from almost every room in the house if I put it up full wack. Did make me smile, sounds like a jet engine somewhere in the house

Best settings for noise, performance and temp:

PL: +50
HBM: 900
P6: 990
P7: 1000
Frequency: change to numbers and leave the default values
Fan: default
Temp: default

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.

Fan is off during idle

Well finally decided to buy Vega 56.

Set power to +45%, set both P6 and P7 to 1025 and OC memory to 900 (there was barely any difference from 950). Firestrike graphics score of 22k. Temps on the run are around 74c whilst hot spot is around 85 (should I look at main temps or hot spot?).

Whilst playing Divinity 2 (great game) the fan is a bit of an odd one, it is silent but then ramps up for a minute and then quiets down again, as if temps are no stable and sometimes the fan needs high RPMs to control and sometimes not :confused:

Also, you guys know what that red blue on off thing all about? It doesn't light up for me?

I decided to plot the release cadence of AMD drivers since 17.1.1 and this is what I got:

Since 17.9.1 was released on 8th Sept, we should be due another one anytime soon.

Though, the data isn't quite normal:

sideways14a · 21 Sep 2017 at 10:16

If you can - get the ram speed up to at least 1000 as it does give a good increase in overall speed while not contributing to heat or power usage much. You will likely need the 64 bios for this.

There was a bug that if you set both p6 and p7 to the same clocks it wouldn't go higher than p5. Dunno if they fixed that.

The fan thing is kinda normal. Different scenes will load the card more and cause it to heat up.
