Return to Stock and Try MSI Afterburner. Bear in mind after a certain clock speed ram timings will need to be loosened.

Get a gpu-z screenshot please, also a white sticker picture from card back.

What you do with a RX580 is you get MSI afterburner (much better than AMD settings), HWINFO and Ungine Heaven.

Put the clocks to stock, put max power limit/temp limit, fans at so the card is <75c and then increase the memory clocks to +50mhz (In Ungine Heaven) and when they crash go back and find the spot it crashes on/Memory errors on HWINFO. Then move back the clock to around 25-30mhz and then you'll be stable (Don't care about "fast timings" in AMD settings it just makes it really unstable it's much better just to have a higher mhz). After than you can overclock it or undervolt it

I got 2250mhz (the max) on my RX580 8GB (Golden sample basically) :D

i tried 1411 1095 not stable
1366 1050 not stable
1450 1200 not stable
1430 1200 not stable
i am stable with 1257 953 and stock setting idk what try
in memory i am stable at 975 2150
930 2000 and i have problems with memory timing setting
i dont want to go far in oc i dont support high noise with fan speed more than 75%

Im thinking volts and timings need adjustment for higher clock speeds

Unless you are going for a max OC there's not much point to tune every little thing so I would just open msi afterburner and move some sliders around and call it a day :toast:

Overclocking is finding out what your parts will do with higher frequencies and different volt levels, so try it, lower the gpu volts first only and test, once you are unstable then you bump it back up 1 or 2 ticks till you are stable again, same for ram.

i tryed to reduct core voltage by 10mv but i had some graphics bug so i reset the voltage at 1150
i am going to try incrassying memory speed with stock voltege

There you go,try 5 mv instead of 10
