Just tried to flash my brand new RX470 with atiwinflash and it shows me adapter not found error for some reason. It's in my 6th pcie slot so I put 5 after -p (but I only have 3 cards).Something I'm doing wrong ?

Here are the step you would take if you didn't flash your card already. I hope you saved your original bios, if you didn't use gpuz https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ to see what kind of memory your cards have. If it's hynix i can send it to you.
1, open atiflash, MUST RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR
2, click on save to save the original bios, save it as RX470ogBIOS.ROM (for convenience)
3, open polaris bios editor
4, open the OG bios you just saved
5, edit the timings according to your cards memory
6, click save, save it as RX470modBIOS.ROM
7, open atiflash again, MUST RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR
8, at the top select the card you want to flash
9.click load image at the bottom left
10, search for the modded bios you just saved
11, click program
12...wait a minute to finish, when its done it'll say to restart...if you're done click yes, if you have more cards to flash click no and repeat steps 8-12 until you're done.
Also, when selecting cards to flash, it will only show 3 cards, so only have 3 cards connected to the motherboard at a time, flash the cards, restart, make sure it worked, shutdown, switch cards and repeat. And then make sure you have the right driver installed
Sounds odd the BIOS you made didn't work. You copied the 1750 strap to 2000 and didn't change anything else?
i always use atiflash from admin cmd prompt in windows tho, call me daring
when there u just do
atiflash -i
that gives info on cards
compare order with something like gpu-z or afterburner
and when i flash i always use
atiflash -p -f adapter# rom.name
-f is for forcing the flash, this shouldnt make a huge diff but wont hurt, think its for when something like UAC is on
atiflash -h
gives all commands i think
i also only ever flash 1 card at a time
make sure gpu-z and afterburner and radeon settings are not open
pretty much anything showing info from gpu sensors
and if possible sometimes its best to flash while only 1 card is in the system but totally not a req ofc
all the litecoin miners who taught me wouldnt even flash in windows
they would boot up a USB dos just to flash
so many things can happen in windows u have no control over especially win 10
other than gpu-z or afterburner open during flashing, every person ive talked to who "bricked" their cards was using the atiwinflash GUI
atiwinflash is the same thing as atiflash from command line
atiwinflash is the GUI version of atiflash
How to set the core MHz to 1145 cuz in wattman there is alot of values for the core MHz not only one
And why would a card hangs up in open CL
While another one with the same values working nicely?
