Problem description

Fixing a rare issue with the XFX RX 580 where Vcore/VDDCI are missing but EN and VCC are present. This particular issue is concerned with low 5V voltage.

5V LDO (LM1117-AD) on XFX RX 580 (Figure 1)

Symptoms

  • Missing VDDCI/Vcore
  • Core not heating up/detected
  • Less than 4.7V on 5V rail

Solution

Diagnostic Steps

  • Measure the voltage present at the 5V Rail
    • Voltage less than 4.75V will let other rails rise but not VCore Rail, as the NCP81022 requires at least 4.75V on its VCC pin. Refer to the repair steps below.
  • If you measure 5V at the 5V rail, and EN voltage is around 3V and still no output on Vcore, you have another issue.

Repair Steps

  • If you're measuring less than 4.75V on 5V rail, simply replace the 5V controller (Figure 1) on this card. It is the LM1117 LDO.
  • This will enable the Vcore controller to work, verify by measuring Vcore, should be around 0.8V.
    • If not, check other repair guides on the card's device page. You have another issue.
  • If that's the case, assemble the card and stress test.
