    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Unable to activate Windows after SSD change

    I recently had my SSD replaced by my PC manufacturer (Alienware) after it failed. I have reinstalled Windows 10 onto the new SSD however Windows will not activate. So far technical support at Alienware have been unable to fix the issue and have suggested
    reaching out for help here. The motherboard has not been changed. Windows was installed via USB using the most up to date version of Windows. I have removed all other devices from my Microsoft account. Using the 'I changed my hardware' option on the Activation
    troubleshooter will not work.

    Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
     
  4. Activation after SSD change

    Activation problems after hardware changes and reinstallations.

    Hi Meli,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    I do appreciate your efforts and time.

    Was Windows 10 activated before re-installing it?

    Along with the suggestions provided by Greg, you can also refer the steps below.



    The only hardware changes that can negatively impact activation status once you upgrade to free version are the changes to the:

    • CPU
    • TPM
    • Motherboard replacement
    The following changes are examples of hardware changes that will NOT impact the activation status:

    • HDD/SSD
    • Video card
    • Adding extra memory
    If you replace the CPU, TPM, or Motherboard you may have to re-activate but this will not require a purchase of Windows 10.
