Hi all
I recently got some cheap cards for mining - Sapphire Nitro+ with 4GB of Elpida memory which was originally clocked at 1750MHz.
As Polaris Editor doesn't work with Elpida cards, i started fiddling around with the Hexeditor and managed to copy the 1500MHz memory timing straps to the higher ones.
it flashed with no problems - command line:
> atiwinflash -f -p 0 almarley.rom
My test card was first running smoothly @ 29+MH/s while drawing only 77 Watts over the PCIe lines while clocking @ 1145/2050MHz with WattTool.
Funny thing is, that after a few hours it even speeded up to 34MH/s all by itself!! idk how that happened? Any ideas??
Unfortunately Claymore was then also throwing "incorrect shares due to overclocking" messages![:(]( ":(")
Feel free to test my BIOS at your own risk.
All modding was done with switch on "silent mode" (towards the connector plate).
My card has PN: 299-2E347-100SA
MD5 of my rom is: 1f9e665e790df58349786a7db641ffb9 for checking
I'm on Win10x64 with Crimson-16.10.1 drivers. No further patching needed.

have fun
