CF RX 480

I just installed the new AMD drivers with Relive and Chill and noticed an anomaly. When I have CF enabled in the software, the Chill feature and option to enable does NOT appear in either wattman tab for card 1 or 2. When I disable the CF designation BOTH wattman tabs have the Chill feature available to turn on.

I already filled out an AMD survey reporting this.

The Chill feature fascinates me especially with a CF rig. I hope it works in CF mode.

I didn't play yet with ReLive.

Yea seems it doesnt work with CF as of now. Thanks for the feedup quskline
 
I installed the new 16.12.2 drivers in the RX480 CF rig below and BF1 plays well but Chill is still not supported. I can live that.
 
Went back to the Radeon 16.11.5 drivers and not much difference. Vega is quite a way off so the 2 RX480s in CF have to uphold AMD's "honor" in the higher end vs my GTX1080 and GTX 980TI SC.

A fun rig. Awaiting the release of Ryzen so I can move the 2 RX480s to it and have a fairly new ALL AMD rig to compare to my 5960x/GTX1080 combo.
 
Updating this thread to note that the 2 RX480s in CF now reside in "harmony" with an AMD Ryzen 7-1800x @4ghz on my Asus C6H mb.

My goal was to have an all AMD build (cpu/gpu) that competed with my 5960x@4.4Ghz/GTX1080 build.

CPU-wise I'm a lot closer now. The Ryzen 7 1800x is a solid 8C/16T chip which matches up nicely to the 5960x. Both are OC'd to stable speeds (1800x-4Ghz;5960x-4.4Ghz) and they now trade blows with most benchmark scores.

As fara as gpus, the twin RX480s are fun and give me very good synthetic benchmark scores BUT Vega needs to appear soon to stay up with the GTX1080. I can only imagine how fast a GTX1080TI is. The newest Titan Xp is too expensive to be talked about.

So, right now would I recommend 2 RX480s in CF? Not unless you want to stay all AMD. I would wait for Vega.
 
Very nice setup, guskline!

Did the Crosshair VI Hero actually provide better overclocking than your B350 board? The C6H sample I received had a failed DIMM channel, so I switched it out for a Gigabyte B350 board.

AMD has provided competitive options with Ryzen, and hopefully Vega will also succeed in the marketplace.
 
Termie, My C6H is rock solid. Came from the factory with the 902 BIOS. Updated to the 1002 release and then 2 days ago updated to the Beta 081 which "might" be the next official release BIOS. My FlareX ram runs native at 3200 (had to set the D.O.C.P. parameters to standard) and my 1800x is running smooth OC'd to 4 Ghz. I used Vcore offset mode with +offset .06825 and ram set at 1.39v with SOC at 1.15. Passed all stress tests with flying colors.
