The bios for R9 290 requires 2 conditions (if I remember correctly):

1. HynixMFR or Elpida
2. Under 70% ASIC

If you got HynixAFR and are above 70% ASIC than there's no point doing so.

It was written somewhere here: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12830.0 if you care to read through all the pages Smiley

Thanks for your support again. I totally missed that ASIC% part, i have "Hynix" and look like ASIC is 79.8%... look like i'm screwed but this is annoying. I get performance losses at anything other than 1250 and 1500 memclock(and 1500&+ is innately unstable).

I was also hoping i could improve stability and power efficiency by changing Voltage.

-Are there other optimized Bioses out there?

P.S.: (I solved my 1 hour stability by unbolting the video card, i think the bolt pulled the card away from the socket and the plastic pin holding it isint too good. So i think that high fan speed vibration might cause the card to be slightly unproperly connected at time causing the flickers, now the card just wont accept any kind of core OC for more than 20 minutes, maybe i'll try to re-oc it with lower optimized xitensity )

Anyways if you still run 290s you might wanna give my TC a shot :3.

I'm asking cuz some people says he closed his thread and i've tried the links he has for 290s but they dont work. They flash okay and then it boot but as soon as amd drivers are loaded, i get BSOD.

For example i can boot in safe mode, but not regular mode.

I get SSID error if i try to flash in bios with -p i need to add -f. Report says flash successful 10000/10000, shouldnt it says 20000/20000?

What should i try? Find an app to properly clean amd drivers and try again or i missed something?
