Problems modding Sapphire Nitro+ 580 4gb ( Hynix memory )

Bought 6x Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 4gb ( all with Hynix memory ). Out of the box, they are hashing at ~24Mh/s, which is great. However, after modding the bios, there was absolutely no change in hash rates, and furthermore, Trixx or Afterburner are useless in trying to overclock them. Neither of the software is aplying the changes. Using Claymore 9.3 and trying to OC them with it didnt help either. Its like cards are refusing to accept any kind of changes at all. I'll try to describe as detailed as i can what we did with the cards bellow, really could use some help here, im running out of ideas.

1. Saved the original BIOS.
2. Modded it by copying values from 1:1500 onto 1:1650, 1:1750 and 1:2000.
3.Programmed the modded BIOS onto the card.
4. No change.

We were using 17.2.2 drivers first time ( patched them with pixel patcher ), tried the combined driver from Cryptomined after that, no change whatsoever.

If i can provide more info i would be more than happy to. Frankly, im a bit pissed off, cos i know they are working, and that they can do better, but i just cant do shit about it with the knowledge that i have. I'd be really gratefull for any kind of help.

Guys i have 4 x Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 4Gb Hynix. I have modded them and it had minimal influence on mining (from 24.6 to 24.9 w/CLaymore). It's now time to overclock  to get between 27 and 30 however gpuz, trixx and MSI Afterburner do not work or better, they don't detect temperature, clock and memory. Tried to uninstall all drivers with DDU, tried multiple driver version 17.x...nothing.

Any suggestion?


Thanks



I have the exact same cards, and exactly the same problem...Not even sure if flashing worked, since there was no change hashrate whatsoever. Tried getting bioses from Anorak, no change. Its as if the cards refuse to be changed. Im thinking it might be the signature check in the drivers, preventing modded stats taking effect, but i did patch the drivers, so...

You need to plug hdmi into card and restart.

OR

buy HDMI dummy

What will that do ? Sorry, but i am kinda newbie to all of this.
