I Turned MY RX 6900 XT Into a 6950 XT... And YOU CAN TOO (Maybe)

Stuff you'll need: A compatible RX 6900 XT A USB stick (32 GB or larger) A phone We'll use Hive OS for the BIOS flashing process: https://the.hiveos.farm AMD RX 6900 XT MBA LC BIOS: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/2... Igor'sLAB MorePowerTool (MPT): https://www.igorslab.de/en/download-a... !!IMPORTANT!! The MBA LC BIOS has a hotspot temperature limit of 95°C, while standard RX 6900 XT and RX 6950 XT BIOSes allow up to 110°C. In temperature-limited scenarios, this BIOS may actually reduce performance. If that happens, try undervolting your card. Unfortunately, there is no way to change this limit because AMD encrypts its BIOS. The only workaround is to disable hotspot throttling entirely with MorePowerTool. Go to More then Throttler and disable Hotspot. This is not recommended for daily use. If the hotspot reaches the hardware thermal shutdown temperature of 116°C, the system will shut down immediately. Use this at your own risk and only in situations where temperatures are predictable, such as benchmarking.
