Curiously, how well do custom timings play with other algos? Is this just a Ethereum only thing (or dual mining)?
What happens if you try to run cards with custom timings on something like Equihash?

That is fair enough.. 2100 is low enough to potentially work on most gpus and be stable. and with the custom mod tool it gives great mhs anyway so all is well. Thanks for the answers!
On another note I used to use 1500 strap with hynix (and now using the 1500 strap custom modded) but am now testing hynix mem with the
custom modded 1625 mem strap as it seems it may be slightly better mhs (figuring in 1625 mem strap can work with mem clocked a bit higher than 1500) What do you all think?

It's because the tool is meant to change only "some" values that can give you what you see, to do more others must be adjusted properly, and that my friend is not that easy and is related to many tests and on particular GPU, because not all are the same.0150E2A3186272E16">http://doreymills.ca/cgi-bin/strapmod?555000000000000022CC1C00AD515A3EC0570E142D4A64080049C700030114207A8900A00300000 0150E2A3186272E16

And if your RAM isn't cooled, you can start getting errors due to overheating rather than overclocking.

For the lazy fools out there, I whipped up a cgi version of my strap mod utility.
Code:
http://doreymills.ca/cgi-bin/strapmod?555000000000000022CC1C00AD515A3EC0570E142D4A64080048C700030114207A8900A003000000150E2A3186272E16
Well it works, got my hynix cards up-to 28.3MH ETH and my samsung cards up-to 31.5MH Eth all 4GB powercolor cards.
Also to all the people making tools for us here it would be nice to have donation addresses so that we can send you some tips.
Are you using the 1500 strap for hynix and 1750 for samsung? and what mem clocks did you use to get those (specifically the samsung)?
For me I use the above straps and clock hynix at 1900-1925 (1950 if its stable) and 2050-2100 for samsung (although Im wondering if i can go higher than 2100 on some samsung chips)
MY samsungs are running at 2120-2160 mem set per card for stability.

Can someone explain me something about usVddcOffsets ?
Reading hex from .rom must be done in little endian, so i find a vddc offset, lets say ffe6, that is 65510 in decimal. Well ok, that is not -26 that i taught it should be.
But ffe6 in big endian INT16 is -26.
If that is so, it means data in .rom is mixed, so how can i know which data is in little endian, which one is in big ?
Or am i even getting this right ?

I get 28.2-28.3 with sgminer (kernel 4.10.5/AMDGPU-Pro 16.60). With Claymore ~28.9Mh. Sgminer should be just as fast once I finish tuning it (or worst case wait for Wolf's Polaris-tuned ethash kernel).
With the ref-style Sapphire should should be able to get over 2000, maybe even 2100 if you mod the 1500 strap.
Thanx again! It seems to work 2140/2025 (0.9v/0.95v), gives 29mhs on claymore and some mem errors in hwinfo64 ((With the ref-style Sapphire should should be able to get over 2000, maybe even 2100 if you mod the 1500 strap.

Also, you might want to be careful about zeroing tFAW and tFAW32 - MOST GPUs are fine with it. The shittiest ones (XFX non-ref, specifically the RS ones) may hate it, though.

Tried 1200/2100 on my Samsung 480 - 30.47MH/s; doesn't matter if I use 4.10 or 4.11rc3.
Thanks for the info; saved me the trouble of testing 4.11.
As for the speed, is that with your Polaris-tuned kernel or stock sgminer-gm 5.5.5? I still can't get over 29.3 at 1212/2100 (same speed as 1167/2100).
The card is capable of >30, since I get ~30.1 from Claymore 8.1 (1167/2100).
Does over 30 on both. Timings are pretty good, though.
I'm using worksize 192, gpu-threads 2, and xi1024. You using anything different?
I used the same for the test - except worksize was 128 for the stock kernel test, and 64 for mine.

With the first 1625 strap you posted a few days ago, I get 29.7 core1150/mem1950 on rx480 4g hynix.
the strange thing, is this number don't change if I change memclock up to 2100... It's like the memclock is bloqued on 2050 and what's showed on screen is a lie!

If it's the tightest one that will run stable at that speed, yes. For Polaris BIOS modding 101 try this forum thread:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1604567/polaris-bios-editing-rx480-rx470-rx460
It's probably better to leave this thread for nerdralph, Wolf0, and the others for their technical discussions. I'm going to take my own advice too and revert to lurking now
EDIT: Ahhh I'm not well-versed in Polaris BIOS modding butif it's anything like Hawaii, the 2000 field applies to mem clocks between 1875 and 2000. You would want to apply to the 2125 field (if there even is one) for clocks between 2000 and 2125. yes the 2000 field (40 0D 03) applies to any clocks above 1751. Anyhow all that info can be found in the link.

total newb question. when i first started playing with straps the common standard mod was to take the 1500 strap and apply it to 1625, 1750, and 2000. when you take and edit the 1625 strap, do you apply it to only 1625, to 1625, 1750, and 2000, or do you apply it to all of them, 1500, 1625, 1750, and 2000?
That should depend on what mem clock you can achieve. You basically want the tightest timings that will still work at the highest mem clock. If your mem can do 2100 and the 1500 strap will only let you get to 1900...well you might want to use the 1625 strap instead. As always trial and error and performance/stability testing will find out what works best for your hardware. Every card is different.
You only really need to apply a strap to the one frequency you will actually be using. Applying it to multiple ones will just give you some lower clocks to fall back on if a higher clock fails.
so i should be applying the custom 1625 strap to the 2000 field because im shooting for above 2000 mem clock?
