R9 290 > R9 290X unlock

[Axzevos]

So I was wondering if I should make my R9 290's to a R9 290X's. But I read that I need RA1: F8000005 and not F8010005 what I got. Does that mean I can't make my R9 290's into a R9 290X? I got two sapphire one.
RA1: F8010005 RA2: 00000000
RB1: F8010005 RB2: 00000000
RC1: F8010005 RC2: 00000000
RD1: F8010005 RD2: 00000000

I figured out that I can't do that? Can someone tell me why I can't do this, and why is that code so important? Has AMD fixed this?

i have seen people do that....but be careful.

anything wrong and you will brick your card forever, and also void the warranty.

choice is yours

Well, I prob won't do it. Seems like it only works for XFX and maybe another brand. I still get an amazing FPS on every games out there .
