While there have been reports that some sites managed to raise the clock of High Bandwidth Memory on the Radeon R9 Fury X, the memory frequency is hardware locked and can't be changed via software, at least according AMD.

While it appears that UK.Hardware.info site actually managed to raise the frequency of HBM by 20 percent, from 500MHz to 600MHz, which was confirmed by GPU-Z, apparently it is just for show. To make thing even more weird, reviewer managed to raise the clock via AMD Catalyst Control Center, which, according to AMD's review guide, should not have that slider.

Review Koen Crijns from UK.Hardware.info did note that memory overclocking slider randomly appears after every few reboots, but according to AMD's technical PR lead, Robert Hallock, the reported raised frequency in GPU-Z is false and that frequency can't be raised via software, since it is determined in hardware.

According to the same report from Wccftech.com, R9 Fury X might soon get over-volting setting as some users already managed to unlock the voltage control. We will soon hear more about this but for now, it appears that High Bandwidth Memory is locked and will not get any overclocking settings anytime soon, at least not until we see some custom versions based on the same Fiji GPU.

Custom versions based on the Fiji GPU should launch on 14th of July as Radeon R9 Fury and we are certainly looking forward to it.
