Hi, i have a iMac 21,5 2011 Model and i installed a RX 560 (TYPE A) from a Sonnet Breakaway Puck. Now it boots with a black screen. External Monitor connected over Thunderbolt works fine. Is there a custom bios wich would work for this card?

Hi, please forgive me if this post doesn't belong here. I have a 2009 Imac 27" i7-860. I upgraded the graphics card to an RX480.
I flashed the EG vBIOS for the graphics card, and it works flawlessly, including the brightness control.
!!!But after the upgrade, a CPU issue developed: the i7-860 runs at 1197 MHz (minimum 9x multiplier) instead of 2800 MHz.

During the Valley test, the CPU and GPU don't even get warm. And the test results are even lower than with the original HD 5750 GPU.
The issue is definitely related to the graphics card upgrade; all temperature sensors are connected correctly. I tried restoring everything to its original state (returning the original graphics card), and after that, the processor runs at its normal frequency (2800 MHz).
Any ideas?

Some news about my "so called" RX560 4gb MXM Type A Card...

1. on the Chip in the middle: 215 090 8018 - from what i found its a RX550?
2. Vram: Micron D9VVQ
3. i tried some ROMs from @Ausdauersportler but they all have 512kb and my dump has 256kb so i can´t flash any of them.

Thank you very much Mario! I flashed your edited ROM and the result is the same. External Monitor works, internal is Black
