Title says it all. I snagged a Vega 56 from newegg (stupid bundle but I was planning on buying Wolfenstein anyways so I only overpaid $40). I usually don't "early adopt" but in this case I wanted to before they "patched" the 56 to 64 BIOS flash.

That being said, I can't find a damn guide anywhere on how to do it safely. I know there are 2 bios's on the card so it should be pretty fail-safe, but still...would like confirmation before I brick my card.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hopefully they don't patch this for first wave of non-reference cards, could be a sweet deal, personally I just don't fancy stock fan solution.

I will be doing this as soon as my 56 from NE arrives as well. Has anyone had any luck getting a brand other then the Power Color? I have always used Sapphire branded cards since I went to watercooling. MSI cards did me well when I was still on air, but I could not get either one so I had to get the Power Color. Hopefully it is well built.

My 390 I'm rocking for the past 2 years is a powercolor. No issues. Haven't had to RMA anything, so no idea how they do there.

I wouldn't worry about this being patched, it's essentially just overclocking the card and adjusting power limits. It's not like you are unlocking shaders or anything fancy.

You are also upping the HBM2 voltage, which you would not be able to do in either Wattwan or power table.
