I will be working on a tutorial after I get my RX 480 working if you want to wait. You should be basically doing this tutorial, but with Gerald's files. 

 

[STYXMHE]

I try to do it but I can not download the file package, and it seems to me that AWDFLASH which I found did not work properly or its wrong version

Spoiler

 

thats step by step what I get

Update on the RX 480 DONT BUY THE REFERENCE MODEL AS IT WONT WORK FOR THIS ADAPTOR. It works in the adapter and everything until the card goes under load and dies because it cannot get enough power through the PCI-E slot (you can google for more info on this issue). I'm going to be returning my reference card and wait for an aftermarket version with two 6 pins or one 8 pin so the power draw  through the PCI-E is less. 

 

@STYXMHE I guess wait a week until you get promoted to a user and can download those files or look through the posts and see if there is an alternate download. I should have a tutorial put together by then.

Thanks for the notice. I was going to order 480.

[STYXMHE]

maybe someone could try downloading it for me and send me to my e-mail? Please

[ManyStrongWords]

Sapphire RX480 Nitro is what i will probably be picking up as it has an 8 pin connector. AMD said they are releasing a fix for the power issue on the 5th, but I think i'd still rather have the non-reference version.

MAJOR CHANGE to setup: Just Run the 2.07 EXE 

MAKE SURE ALL USB AND ETHERNET CABLES ARE UNPLUGGED

MAKE SURE BACKFLASHING IS ENABLED IN THE BIOS

MUST HAVE WINDOWS 10

Extra: Also make sure to uninstall drivers for video cards as you switch them them out. Not the 750m drives but I went from a 6670 to the RX 480 and needed to wipe them.

 

Gerald you can remove your uploaded bios as I was just trying 2.07 with Windows 7 which does not work. I just now tried 2.07 with Windows 10 and it works with the setup for 2.07 being much easier.

I have grabbed two old graphic cards from a friend (MSI GT430 4GB) and GT520 just for testing.

Getting a black screen on both of them. and laptop keeps rebooting every ~30secs

Tried with (BIOS 2.04 EC 3.05) and (2.07EC/BIOS).

the result is the same. Does it have anything to do with the fact i have Windows 10 UEFI? do I have to install it as legacy?

[ManyStrongWords]

Maybe, I have Legacy and so does Gerald. Do you no longer get the startup sound with the GPU installed? I got the sound and had to let it sit for about 5 min then the laptop screen comes up and you can install drivers.

[gerald]

Have you checked the BIOS settings?

I have uploaded them a few comments before.

 

ManyStrongWords got the adapter under Win10 running. No idea if UEFI or not. But I guess this is not the reason for your issue.

 

[Tesla]

i matched the bios and the settings, windows doesnt seem to boot at all with those gpus. and yes no startup sounds :/

It could be bcoz of those gpus are old and they use pcie 2.0 interface, or it has to do with UEFI(but i doubt it).

im gonna try couple more scenarios and let you guys know.

[STYXMHE]

Tesla I have exactly the same reboot every 30 seconds and a black screen

[Tesla]

What gpu are you using?

and your win10 is a UEFI?

[STYXMHE]

Msi gtx 1070 gaming x and win10 is UEFI

[Tesla]

it must be the uefi then, ill try to install win10 on a spare hdd and see how it goes

[STYXMHE]

But Gerald also has win 10 UEFI?

[Tesla]

no both Gerald and ManyStrongWords

[STYXMHE]

Tesla how to check if the win10 is UEFI or not?

Edited July 2, 2016 by STYXMHE

[ManyStrongWords]

It is in your BIOS under the BOOT tab. Boot Mode as legacy

[STYXMHE]

then I have a legacy

[Tesla]

i have tried to boot using another hdd with win10(legacy) and it gave me the same symptoms. so we can safely conclude that UEFI has nothing to do with it.
