So my Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 Limited Edition cards came in today, so I ran some benchmarks.
I first tried to find the highest error free memory clock for each memory strap and chose one that performs the best.
I followed this up by downclocking the core until the mining performance was noticeably affected if I'd gone further.
I then proceeded to reduce voltages as much as possible.
The trials and results can be found here:

After 1 hour, the card remained at 42 Celsius in a 72 Fahrenheit ambient room using only 40% fan speed. If power isnt an issue, the 1450 stock clock at 1.125V which can go higher would do great for dual-mining.

which bios editor you used??, I used polaris bios editor 1.4.1 but it can't read memory strap entries for my Sapphire RX570 4G Nitro+
