It's an rx 580 **2048sp**. Meaning that it's actually just an rx 570 with a small overclock. You can try the rx 570 drivers, or flashing the normal rx 570 BIOS onto it. EDIT: Forgot they used the same drivers for all polaris cards. Try flashing the normal 570 bios, and install drivers again. Could also be that windows tries and install older drivers.

[@abhimaanmayadam5713]

My bet is that windows installed old amd drivers and overwrote the ones Dawid installed. That seems to happen with the older amd cards.

[@olnnn]

There aren't separate drivers for the 570 and 580, they use the same ones that are used for all amd polaris cards. It's possible the china specials like the rx 580 2048sp aren't supported properly in all standard drivers though idk

[@steph_on_yt]

The Adrenalin drivers are the same. My best guess is that MLLSE harvested the GPU core or memory from a card that had little-to-no life left to begin with and the symptoms of GPU death only began manifesting now. Dawid can test this by underclocking the core or memory. If it's stable at lower clocks, then the recycled components are just too degraded to run at stock settings.

[@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716]

Typical AMD bad gpu drivers yet again

I think i can explain the GPU shipping price, i live in brazil and here any itens bought that has a price higher than 50 dollars USD is taxed in 92% of the value, making us pay basically double the price. Some vendors noticed that and started putting some of the itens cost on the shipping, because the shipping isnt taxed

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

Woah! That’s very interesting. Thanks for that insight. 👍

[@GenilsonSA]

[@connorwinter9257]

It's so stupid too because the idea is to drive local economy by having things made in Brazil but NO ONE WANTS TO BUILD GRAPHICS CARDS IN BRAZIL

Haha same, I live in Turkey We had a 10€ tax-free limit but now the limit is gone and tariff rates are indiscriminately high At least you can pay less taxes with the shipping price

[@The_10th_Man]

Wow that must by why Brazil is so prosperous. We should tax things at 92% too and then we’re sure to have a great economy. Blue no matter who.

[@Stilkdog]

That 580 2048sp if I remember is a Chinese market mining card. It's just a 570 rebadged, more than likely you could look at replacing the bios on the card with a actual 570 and I'm sure it will work. Worth a shot.

[@steph_on_yt]

AMD's Adrenalin drivers officially recognize the card. Look at 14:13. I think the GPU hardware itself (which is definitely harvested from a dead 580) has just degraded to the point of not being able to run at stock clocks.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

@@steph_on_yt Of course they do. They check the vBIOS and the card tells you what it is, even if it's wrong. This is a known scam Chinese sellers play. They take older cards, modify the bios so the system sees it as a different card and even installs the correct drivers, but then you run into weird issues like system crashes, gpu crashes when you want to use all the VRAM, etc.

[@bluedinnerbox1370]

It is not a mining GPU, just a special SKU for Chinese market. However, almost all the RX 5X0 card you can find in market are used for mining for extend period of time so probably the card is simply broken

[@steph_on_yt]

@@BrunodeSouzaLino but this isn't a scam card. The RX 580 2048SP is an official China-only SKU quietly launched by AMD in 2018, a year after the vanilla 570/580. It's the same as the 7900 GRE (before it launched globally) and the very 7500F shown in this video. Hell, even intel made a bunch of weird China-exclusive SKUs like the i5-12490F "Black Edition" which is basically an overclocked 12400F with more L3 cache. These one-off SKUs usually don't come in retail packaging and are destined for internet cafes.

[@outtheredude]

Could be worse. If it was an nVidia card, it would probably turn out to be something like a 9500GT, Biosed to be an RTX 2080.

But at time I bought that one nothing similar was available for that money, today you can get decent air cooler everywhere for similar money so I don't see point of getting them from AE anymore. But I saw $10 4 heatpipes cooler from time to time, I'll probably get one just to see how it handle 65W TDP CPUs, they still can be decent replacement for box coolers.

Too often I have burnt my nerves after updating AMD drivers from AMD site, only Windows do a Windows thing and "updating" AMD drivers to WHQL Certified ones from Windows Updates.And those are ages old, and Adrenalin AMD Software will not work with them, due version mismatch. You need matching version of Adrenalin software - good luck to find it. :D And WHQL package doesn't contain AMD Software. I expect that el-cheapo AMD card to be some OEM version based and due that Windows like to be "helpful" and making your life fun...

[@crusifficadus]

it can disabled through windows advanced system settings > hardware > device installation settings > no

[@delancre5858]

​​@@crusifficadus it may not work in this scenario: 1. Driver already was preloaded. 2. Gpu was crashing with reboot. So, after reboot, windows will totaly ignore "not install" setting and install older driver anyway. Or not. It's totally random. I found that most reliable way is thru DDU "prevent windows driver update" setting.

[@chainsaw2010]

Use Device manager to roll back to the new driver you just installed. It will do more then just roll back it will also mark the driver from window update to not be installed again preventing the issue from happing again.

I had an RX 580 2048SP as well, and it was odd. Overall it was an okay GPU, except that the latest drivers straight up made all VR games crash in less than an hour of playing them. Reverting back to drivers from 2020 helped me, apparently some more recent ones were also fine. Probably not your problem, but sometimes those things are a bit weird. Replaced it with an Intel Arc A580 and had to struggle there with needing a new CPU with ReBAR as well, otherwise the performance was horrible. I'm just unlucky lol

[@HIKKG]

Hm... it's a pity you didn't try the "RdN,ID" community drivers for RX 580 2048SP, it would most likely solve the problem with VR games. It's also a shame you didn't try the open source project called "ReBarUEFI", which allows you to enable Resizable BAR on older PCs (even those with 2nd generation Intel Core CPUs - which is a 2011 CPU for a minute!)

As for the ram, its very likely the system was doing memory training and you shut it down in the middle of doing that, luckily it didnt brick your motherboard or anything else but it would explain the memory failure.

My 6700XT also used to do the driver corruption thing (unless I restarted the system within seconds of the signal loss) but instead of it happening under load it would just do it randomly (and much less frequently tbf), often after alt tabbing and such. After some windows reinstalls and ram swaps it works completely fine (aside from weird flickering issues while playing media with hardware acceleration turned on), so it might be some kind of AMD bug that's just rare enough not to be caught by their driver team.

[@caerxm]

i thought i was the only one with this problem because i searched for this problem and it seems no one has it. i really thought my 6700xt was going bad. after countless of hours and days of testing and finding the culprit, i narrowed down to 2 problems. first is the pcie power cable is loose (because i noticed a bit of burnt marks on the pin) or my psu decided to went into fail safe mode. second is overheating. even though my gpu temp is at 78C and hotspot at 100C. my vram is going way above 110C. so i had to re paste and replace thermal pads. right now it works again without crashing. tl;dr : sometimes after a crash, a popup always shows there is a problem with a driver even though the driver is fine.

[@g2fiora]

@@caerxm I don't think I've seen burn marks on the pins even if they did come slightly loose at times but I only have a 550W PSU so it might have to do something with that. Well, it might or it might not, since in my case it never just happened mid game regardless of how much power the CPU/GPU pulled, and I always had to either click on something in on the desktop or often simply alt+tab out of the game/some window to crash the system. My GPU temps also used to be very high (105+ degrees on the hotspot) because at first I only looked at the main temp reading which never even went above 80-ish, so I thought I could adjust the fan curve to make the card even more quiet. Since then I've tweaked that a bit and now my hotspot rarely even hits 90+ degrees and I also haven't had any crashes in a while so that might also be related, but again wouldn't it make sense then for the system to crash mid game while the temps were at their highest? Idk, I'm really not sure what's going on, but I'm not too bothered since it seems to be mostly okay for now.

I compared your bios (which you showed in the video 17:36) to the supposed bios you should have and they look like they are the same version, however there could be a missing digital signature in the VBIOS since it is an off brand version of the rx 580 2048sp, so I could suggest to flash the bios into an official one and try if that works out. Nice video!

[@nsovomabasa5014]

Now, that's a sleek PC. I'd love to look at it at my desk everyday. We must appreciate the little things Dawid

[@GoetheNorris]

My favourite Dawid-ism is the "Thiddy" percent cpu utilisation

[@machinainc5812]

I got a similar 580 from Ali. Mine is the white ELSA ones they were selling a couple months ago. The cooler looks exactly the same but mine is white. Thankfully my card seems to be working fine

[@RossClarke0]

My kids brand new 5600g/rx 6600 combo used to require AMD driver installs for almost every crash. He used to kick his cable out the PSU often and the sad part is how long it took to diagnose the crashing since it never happened when I was there not kicking the PSU.

[@brianmillington5024]

Iv had 2 of these cards from Ali express. If you uninstall the drivers and let windows update install one, it works

[@reyalPRON]

my sarcasm meter is off the charts and i love it ) u are amusing sir.

[@MrBalrogos]

2:10 it is u can buy it in almost every shop, just checked its in the biggest PC online shops and its avaiable, 4 months ago i made pc for someone with this CPU and cheap am5 gigabyte mobo.

[@mukkah]

3:46 wolf head image looks the same as one on my china glass bong. Wonder if it's from the same image file lmfao ^_^ ~a random canadian subscriber dude

[@mongoosemcmongoose2786]

how did i miss this!? now i need to stay up past my bedtime!!

[@Entity8473]

That power supply mounting bracket looks like it can have the fan mounted to the front.

[@caboosemusic123]

You could have mounted the PSU flipped, with its fan pulling air from the case vent and into the case. At least that would be my first thought.

[@TronixGuy93]

Connect the ram and gpu to another system. If they work there, then the auto settings in bios may pre-set incompatibly. You may need to bios change up or down or set it manually to get it to work, stock. Assembling thousands of PC's in my life has proven to me that there are sometimes strange unexplainable, intermittent even, incompatibilities between seemingly random components that should prima facie, just work out of the box.

[@GeeRommers]

You can find some more specialized reviews out there, but there's no chance you can find funnier ones. Dawid is the Emperor of funny reviews. Your scripts are hilarious. Congrats.

[@allenellisdewitt]

10:25 I was NOT expecting the case to be the worst part of this build.

[@user-pj6ec7zk5b]

3:40 you want to catch fire

[@dabombinablemi6188]

TBH I'd always be more worried about the heatpipes being soldered than how many there are. Quite a few large coolers from the early 2000's with a lot of heatpipes suck because they aren't (aka a waste of aluminium)

[@kaofeiwei84]

I believe front intake vent of the case is for the power supply

[@flygger6250]

I ran in to the same problems with ram from aliexpress. I bet you they are only really compatible with intel. Maybe you should try it Dawid?

[@aaronring4704]

I was dubious when I bought it, but I’ve had a KingSpec SSD running like a champ in my recycle bin MacBook Pro for nearly 18 months. I go Samsung for projects for other people, but I’m perfectly fine using KingSpec for my own computers!

[@peterhallbus1114]

The same cpu cooler can be found with 4 heatpipes for $5 more and it is pretty good, running a 120w cpu at full with better temps then what Dawid got here.

[@joggabonkers6380]

you can buy the 7500f in the western market. I can buy it here in Norway

[@iitzfizz]

It's a good day when Dawid blesses us with a video

[@hi-friaudioman]

Those coolers are actually pretty decent! I have the same cooler cooling a 105w intel xeon E5 2650v4 and it maintains a brisk 55/65° under 100% load.

[@aldenp547]

Great video, can’t be a Dawid video without something going wrong 😂

[@TrusteftTech]

I don't know if it is just me, but the way that the PSU blocks the ventilation and the way the power cable is in the way...I wouldn't be able to do it. I would physically not be able to complete the process as something in my brain would say "NO!". Not talking about any safety issues etc. Just something else I can't pinpoint. So...I assume free shipping return of the GPU and replacement by the seller with another one? Right? Right?

[@dmagik8]

another good good dawid video. Love this guy

[@kiteracing999]

ngl, that case is dope

[@Deybis]

I have the same psu it's still kicking today but I recently replaced it with a MWE Gold 850 V2 because I got a 7800xt now, before I was only running on an apu (5600g)

[@lokigem5226]

You think it could be a mining card with video output? I recently bought one and I believe it’s a mining card due to being 100 percent utilization when just loading up windows and fans are at 100 percent the entire time even when not doing anything. Plus it doesn’t even let me download drivers.

[@bfbunny]

The fact that it is a 580 2048sp shouldn't be the main issue here. I had my 580 2048sp a few years back and had no big issues with it. What I think is happening is that the aliexpress RX580 was a retired mining card, which silicon had degraded enough for it to no longer be stable at stock clock speeds.

[@VanadiumMC]

Your hair is looking phenomenal as usual Dawid, keep up the awesome videos

[@ffnbbq]

For anyone interested, this motherboard has a rather basic 5+2+2 VRM, so it's likely not able to be the backbone of say, a super budget 7950x or 7800x3D build. You're better off with the popular budget king Asrock B650M HDV/M.2, which seems able to handle just about any currently available AM5 processor.

[@JuiceboxDesmond]

Bunch of new music in this one. Nice.

[@charleshines2142]

I bought a Gigabyte motherboard and it also came with the IO shield already attached. It is a different model board. In a way I like the shield already being on it. That should minimize the chance of them having to replace a lot of shields that were either the wrong one accidentally put in the box or the chances of one that was cut wrong and doesn't fit or shorts things. We all know how disappointing that will be to plug it in and have it be dead from the start because of such a defect.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

The case could benefit from some bottom intake fans and if there's room some on the top to push warm air out.

[@thecodex0994]

Wow this first time catching a dawid video when its just been hatched in the world.

[@norysstories6275]

I have that gigabyte board, it has yet to ignite my house yet but I still eagly await the time it does.

[@mikkelbreiler8916]

12:27 yup plug the connector in so it blocks the other socket....

[@AllanBorch]

I really wanted to know what was wrong with the Gpu and Ram. Damn my curiosity... I'll be thinking of this all night, and not get any sleep!😆
