I want to share my MODS for RX 480 Armor OC 4G (4GB).
22MH/S Stock
27MH/S Modded
29.3MH/S Tuned with afterburner (-50mv, core 1140Mhz, mem 2130Mhz)

There are Mods and Stocks for Samsung and for Hynix memory types.

P.D: Dont forget to monit your GPUs temps, dont be higher than 75°, i recommend to use a manual fan speed from afterburner (start afterburner with the system and keep it open).

I just got a couple of MSI Armor rx480 4GB cards (https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-480-ARMOR-4G-OC.html)
I've been staring at the exact same card for the past week not knowing whether i should go for it or get a slightly more expensive Sapphire Pulse Rx 580 4gb..

Do you guys think a 580 Pulse is worth some extra 20 bucks?

How do you know he has all Hynix cards? I can smell the softbricked cards Cheesy
I made an easy tutorial, it's in my signature if the OP want make bios for each card.
That's why I included every possible shred of info about where the BIOS came from Smiley
If someone's flashing this onto anything other than a MSI RX 480 Armor 4G OC model #912-V341-028 with Hynix memory they are gonna have a bad time.
MSI has a habit of producing multiple hardware revisions within a single Model/SKU, hence the box code # which identifies the specific variant.

Nice guide, very straightforward.
Thx, yeah those are just the basics.

Hey, did the bios mod work? Also, the link provided isn't working, sadly. I have this card too and am interested in modding mine Smiley

Yes, this is a working BIOS for MSI RX 480 4GB with Hynix, box code #912-V341-028

It's not the most "modern" timing mod (it's not taking advantage of the latest understanding/decoding of timing straps) but it does give ~28mh
The link is functional, but it has to be copied & pasted.

https://mega.nz/#!vAs3TDQJ!W2HPI70RY1TO5J65_VRj7iKTIElDv6nIzQb6AeUii3w

Currently getting ~27.9mh running at 1125mhz core 1940mhz memory, undervolted to 950mV
Some will not clock quite that high without memory errors, I would start at 1850mhz and check using hwinfo64 sensors mode to find a sweet spot.

You need to flash them with a compatible BIOS using ATIFlash. pretty simple to do but make sure to follow all the steps in flashing guides.

I was actually unable to find a BIOS for this particular card. I don't think other RX 480 BIOSes would work, but they might but you'll probably have some issues with monitoring the fans and temps.

What hashrate are you getting with ETH?


I was hoping that someone can provide me with a compatible BIOS for this card! I got these cards at an awesome deal ($150) and I need to use them at their full potential.

Mining ETH at 22.5mh/s with stock bios/settings.

I wouldn't go ahead and try a random BIOS, probably won't work with your cards. start mining ZEC in the meanwhile until you can find a BIOS or find someone to mod one for you.

I have a bunch of MSI Gaming RX470 4gb's that I'm going to be modding this week, dunno what memory type they have yet but I just did my 480 8gb's over the weekend for a few of my rigs.

You need to download the stock bios and upload it somewhere for someone to be able to take a look at it.

I just got a couple of MSI Armor rx480 4GB cards (https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-480-ARMOR-4G-OC.html)

I need help in reaching the best speed on both ETH/zCash with these GPUs at the lowest possible power. The memory type is Hynix

I have searched the forum here for help and even Google but it seems that there is no reliable/helpful advice with this card in particular.

0.5 reward to the person that helps the most
