Well, got my card.
Wattman / drivers are in a total state though.
Did a clean install of latest drivers.
No HBCC on/off toggle (assume they removed it with latest driver update?).
HBM overclocking is just a jumbled mess of numbers in Wattman (-52900Mhz and always reverts to this as soon as you press Enter).
Power limit I can set between a brilliant -1%, 0% and +1%.
Enabling GPU voltage control automatically makes HBM voltage manual too, and sets it to the same value as what you set for GPU. Just total facepalm.
Unfortunately you can't adjust ANYTHING on power saver / balanced / turbo - not even fan profile. Since you can't adjust other values properly in custom mode currently, it's a mess.
Latest beta of Afterburner can't do anything yet. Not even fan profiles.
As of now, you need to use external tools.
Two positives.
1) My card seems to be a decent bin, as it's happy on 1040mV running AoTS built in benchmark on Crazy presets. But I need to increase the power limit (can't in Wattman) to stop it throttling. As there was zero instability and it was still momentarily peaking at 1600Mhz, I suspect it might be happy as low as 1000mV. Even at 1040mV on the HBM it's still fine - which it forces if I put it on the GPU.
2) The default fan settings on Balanced are heavily geared towards silence. On all stock settings it thermal throttles as it gets above 80C. At max fan (which is very loud but unlike most cards has almost zero motor / bearing whine) and undervolted it remains below 60C, but is throttling because it needs higher power limit. 75% fan which if wearing headphones you certainly won't hear over in-game audio gets to 70-72C. Turbo mode heavily thermal throttles as it stays at 85C because, again, fan profile remains below 50%.
P.S. Absolutely ZERO buzz / hiss / whine from the card, even with your ear right next to it, at full load, with fans low. Probably the first graphics card I've had where the board itself is completely silent.
P.P.S. Individual game profile settings do absolutely nothing, in Radeon Settings.
