I dont understand the bios modding. What am I to be changing on my Polaris cards I am only get roughly 20mh/s out of them on ETH.

When i load the bios following instructions, they say change timing, the timings are all kinds of crazy hex numbers.

I also get an error about my bois being too small



You cannot use GPU-Z to save the BIOS as it only saves half of modern bioses. You must use ati flash to save the bios. You are copying the memory straps from either 1500 (hynix, micron and elpida) or 1750 (samsung) and pasting it to all memory straps higher than it, such as 1650, 1700, etc up to 2000 or higher. This makes the memory run with tighter memory settings so hashes more. But it can also make the card unstable and/or crash.

How do I tell memory brand... also I am using ATI flash to pull them. They appear to already read as 2000 as thier default memory speed?
When you start GPU-Z, it reports the memory brand. Also use the following article for BIOS flashing as it tells you the correct Polaris BIOS editor version to use in order to get rid of the craxy hex numbers you're seeing:

Okay all m y cards are hynix so I can OC them a bit? My screen for timing looks nothing like his.



You are using outdated version of PBE. Find a good step by step instruction with the links to the 1.4.1 version

The most current version of PBE is v1.6. It now includes 'one click' bundled performance timings. Very easy to use. Just save your original Bios using Atiwinflash and open it in PBE. The 'one click' option automatically applies the bundled performance timings and then save the Bios and flash it using Atiwinflash.
