Those issues should appear in Event Viewer—they’re hardware faults, after all.
Memory @2200mhz, @1100mv
I believe you should boost the power. I’ve noticed several instances where memory improves without higher voltage, which causes immediate problems.
Unfortunately, there’s no known method to raise the voltage of the VRAM on this card. You can adjust core voltage and memory controller settings, but not the actual VRAM voltage. I’ve experimented with overvolting and undervolting the controller, yet error readings persist at 2024MHz. I’ll review Event Viewer later tonight.
You’re free to use the OC tool from your card manufacturer’s support.
Additionally, you might try tools from other companies that make these cards—XFX, EVGA, MSI, etc.—their software often offers more customization options.
I’ve used MSI Afterburner, Asus Tweak, and Wattman before, but none include VRAM voltage control. I’ll explore alternatives.
AMD’s WattMan continues to offer detailed management of the RX 480’s internal memory, allowing adjustments such as increasing the voltage by up to 150 mVs and boosting clock speeds from 2,000MHz to 2,250MHz. We successfully achieved a stable overclock reaching 2,200MHz or a 10 percent boost after manually setting the voltage to 1,150 mV.
