Awaiting a RMA # from ASrock support. It is being shipped back.Ouch, that's a lot of reboots. I get Wattman crashes @ idle every 2-3 days but nothing like that.
Been using the Radeon VII today since my 2080 Ti decided to go Space Invaders on me.
At 970mV with a -20 power limit I'm still hitting around 1800MHz core in gaming and it stays pretty quiet. I'm also having a hard time noticing much difference in performance, surprisingly.
Alphacool Eiswolf for Radeon VII Released!
Nope. Just like when I bought an Eiswolf for my Vega 56, it was so early, I was kind of flying into uncharted territory. I just knew it couldn't be any worse than the stock reference cooler. My overclocked Vega 56 rarely exceeded 55°C while drawing ~280W. And that was with the radiator at the top of the case, sucking in hot air from other components, and only two fans in a push configuration. So I'm expecting 60-65°C core temp under load because I'll be overclocking the card passed 2000 MHz. As long as Junction temps stay way down I'll be happy. Not to mention a quieter experience.AMD needed that from the get-go. Wonder how well it'll stack up against the stock cooler. Seen any benchmarks yet?

Good news. Hope it doesn't cause reboot problems like the last one.
Wow, that core/hotspot delta is huge. 43C? At least it keeps the beast in check (below 100C hotspot) but still. Ouch. Nice OC though.
On unrelated news, have any of you tried out your free The Division 2 code yet? I finally broke down and did it (Uplay ugh, it's still a buggy mess), and I noticed the other day with my 1940 MHz overclock on air that the GPU temporarily boosted to over 2050 MHz during gameplay, multiple times. Hotspot temps never got over 98C. This was in 1440p with max quality settings.
I'm not too familiar with the X399 platform and don't have much experience with Threadripper in general, but my gut tells me to perhaps check your PCI-E Link speed and ensure it's at 3.0 and 16x. Perhaps some kind of weird lane sharing issue? Mind downloading Superposition Benchmark and seeing what score you get in 4K Optimized? Userbench is weird on this card and my previous Vega and I've found in the past that I've had to create a Wattman profile to force the maximum power state on the core and memory to get a decent score.Newbie here at building a newer desktop. Put together an ASRock x399, TR1950x, Radeon VII, DDR4 2400, 500g sata ssd for CAD/CAM and video editing apps. Solidworks, Surfcam and Vegas Pro 16
Seems to be running nicely, but Userbenchmark.com shows the GPU running at only 130% vs what should be 145% for this card. Cinebench only gets 84 to 89 fps in OpenGL tests. Vegas Pro 16 is rendering the vegas red car test in HD AMD VCE at over twice the time of OC'd 1950x Vega 10 FE machine (34 seconds vs 14 seconds).
Only one little piece of the UserBenchmark test even hits the video card hard. GPU 1987 MHz, Memory 801MHz, Temp 52 C, Fan 1055rpm, Jct Temp 94c with auto gpu overclocking in wattman.
Any suggestions on where to look for issues with drivers (AMD 19.4.3) or windows 10 pieces parts that might not be up to snuff? Either have a dud of a card or I'm missing a driver somewhere. All the other tests of parts in the machine are testing very well in UserBenchmark. Memory shows in the 99th percentile at 149% ???
Been an interesting read of all your guys overclocking setups. Definitely been a useful thread to browse through, just no one else with a stable R VII that seems to be under performing.
Cheers, Pete

Hmmm. That is pretty low. Seems like ~7900 should be what you're getting with stock settings. The only other thing I can think of doing at this point is updating the VBIOS on your card if you haven't already. I'm not sure if more recently manufactured cards have the updated VBIOS, I'm assuming they do, but it's worth checking. The current BIOS is V106 which can be found here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/radeonvii-vbios-eula -- AMD made a quick little flashing utility. GPU-Z, in the Advanced Tab > AMD BIOS (in the dropdown menu) lists the following:Thanks for getting back to me!
It shows PCI Express 3.0 x16 in Radeon settings
I loaded the Superposition 4K benchmark and got 7523 in directX and 6093 in OpenGL I think that's the second lowest score for R VII cards. The highest being 9500 compared to the Titan GTX top score of 16,000 !!!
Not sure where to look from here.
