to add my experience with polaris. if you don't edit the bios, no matter what voltage you put, it doesn't fall below a certain value. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's usually 937 mv. also the polaris do not separate the voltage between the gpu and the vram. whatever voltage you put in each will work with the biggest one you put in both, and if the voltage is not enough for it to work, the card will crash.
if it doesn't craση after lowering the mv, it means that it works with high voltages. Windows software cannot reduce temperatures and consumption unless the bios is changed. in hive os it shows the values that the user has set and not the real ones that the card works on.
I have made a guide for polaris bios that can reduce consumption if anyone is interested. the card with lower clocks never gets stuck.
