Tried undervolting? Less heat and potentially higher sustained boost clocks.
Voltage controls are not working, you can change them but they have no effect. I tried both Wattman and WattTool. I tested by getting the GPU core clock, temps stable under a set fan speed. Once I had the GPU stable I began adjusting voltages but at no point when adjusting then down (or up) did the GPU temps change.
This behaviour seems to be confirmed by AMDMatt

Any idea of Vega 56 stock date?
When can I pre order?

Comes out on the 28th at special pre-order price of £450, if you do not pre-order in the first 5 minutes, price will jump up to £500+!

Launch price will most likely be £349 (since its $399 + VAT) - how long that lasts for is anyones guess. Gibbo is strongly telling AMD that it needs to be that price - permanently.
I was being a little sarcastic with pricing. It seems Vega costs AMD a lot to make, so they may have no option but to charge £400-450 for Vega 56 for a few months at least.

No-one said this, the price is much more likely to be £400 for a limited quantity then up to £500 after.
Maybe you missed the post just above?
:/ unfortunate as it seems effective if you can. GamersNexus had some success with undervolting the V56 but doesn't go into detail about how to overcome any hurdles they might have found.

edit: When you say coreclock and temps stable, have those setting been manually adjusted? Have you tried leaving those at stock default and just adjusting voltage down a tad for for the top power states. Let the dynamic boost control clocks.

What made me cross is the lack of information regarding the back orders. To honour the price those cards were oversold on Monday, relies at the good will from Sapphire.

All I'm going to say is at least my current game is Monkey Island 2. My 4k dreams will just have to wait... or console.

I already confirmed this, all those who ordered a card at £449 will get one at £449, simples. AMD agreed to extend our rebate cap to cover all the orders we took at the reduced launch price promotion.

Don't worry, it needs to be that price for OCUK to make a small profit.

Yes I tried leaving everything at stock and it always throttles to 1401 which is the third state from top. Even adjusting voltage at this point has zero effect on fan speed or temps.
