    PowerColor Red Devil RX480 overclocking woes

    Hey guyz, long time no see! Alot has changed around these parts. Anyway lets get to my problem:

    Picked up a PowerColor Red Devil RX480 as an RMA replacement for a defective 390. Happy about the free-ish upgrade, but not happy about it's potential. Found out the power limit was locked @ 5%. Flashed to the "unlocked Bios" offered by PowerColor.

    After swapping out Tim's, figured I'd like to see what it's got under the hood.

    Stock is 1330 core / 2000 mem.

    Tried a modest clock of 1350/2200 with stock voltage and was greeted by a blackscreen.

    Raise powerlimit to 25% and try again with same results. Raise voltage 25%, still nogo

    Raise powerlimit to 50% and raise voltage to 25% and finally was able to boot to desktop
    Tried Firestrike and this time was greeted by a white screen.

    Temps kept in check with fanspeed @ 75%.

    Unsure what to think about this card.

    Yea this isn't really the page for that particular card. They are a little more active when you strap a pot to the card.
