🔧 Step 1: Physical Installation
⚠️ Safety First: Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cable before installing any hardware components.
1.1 Preparation
Power Down System
Completely shut down your computer and unplug all cables. Press the power button for 5 seconds to discharge any remaining power.
Remove Side Panel
Remove the left side panel of your computer case (when looking from the front). Most modern cases use thumb screws or a tool-less design.
Locate PCIe Slot
Find the top PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard (usually the longest slot closest to the CPU). Remove any existing graphics card if present.
1.2 Installing the AISURIX RX 580
Remove Slot Covers
Remove 1-2 expansion slot covers from the back of your case (depending on your card's size). Keep the screws for later use.
Insert Graphics Card
Carefully align the AISURIX RX 580 with the PCIe slot. Press down firmly until you hear a click and the retention clip engages.
Secure with Screws
Use the screws you removed earlier to secure the graphics card bracket to the case. Ensure the card is firmly seated and level.
Connect Power Cable
Connect the 8-pin PCIe power cable from your PSU to the power connector on the AISURIX RX 580. The connector only fits one way.

🖥️ Step 2: First Boot & Driver Installation
2.1 Initial System Boot
Connect Display Cable
Connect your monitor to the AISURIX RX 580 (NOT the motherboard ports). Use HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI as needed.
Power On System
Reconnect power cables and turn on your computer. Windows should detect the new hardware and install basic drivers automatically.
2.2 AMD Software Installation
Download AMD Software
Visit AMD.com/support and download the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition for RX 580.
Run Installation
Run the downloaded installer and follow the setup wizard. Choose "Express Installation" for automatic configuration or "Custom" for advanced options.
Restart System
After installation completes, restart your computer to ensure all drivers are properly loaded and configured.
⚙️ Step 3: AMD Software Configuration
3.1 Initial Configuration
Once AMD Software is installed, you can access advanced graphics settings and optimizations.
Open AMD Software
Right-click on your desktop and select "AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition" or find it in your system tray.
Gaming Tab Settings
- Anti-Aliasing: Set to "Use application settings"
- Anisotropic Filtering: 16x for best quality
- Tessellation: AMD Optimized
- Surface Format Optimization: Enabled
Display Settings
- GPU Scaling: Enabled (maintains aspect ratio)
- Color Depth: 10 bpc (if supported by monitor)
- Pixel Format: RGB 4:4:4
3.2 Gaming Optimizations
🎮 Performance Settings
Radeon Anti-Lag: Enabled (reduces input lag)
Radeon Boost: Enabled (dynamic resolution)
Image Sharpening: 80% (enhances visual quality)
Enhanced Sync: Enabled (if no FreeSync)
🌡️ Thermal Settings
Fan Curve: Aggressive (better cooling)
Temperature Target: 75°C max
Zero RPM: Enabled (silent at idle)
Power Limit: +20% (if stable)
🚀 Step 4: Performance Tuning & Overclocking
⚠️ Overclocking Warning: Overclocking can void warranty and potentially damage hardware. Proceed with caution and monitor temperatures.
4.1 Safe Overclocking Steps
Access Performance Tuning
In AMD Software, go to Performance → Tuning → Manual tuning. Accept the warning and enable manual control.
Start with Memory
Increase memory clock by +100 MHz increments. Test stability with gaming or stress testing between increases.
Tune Core Clock
Increase GPU clock by +25 MHz increments. Monitor for artifacts or crashes. Typical safe range is +50-100 MHz.
Stability Testing
Run Unigine Heaven or FurMark for 30+ minutes to verify stability. Monitor temperatures (should stay under 85°C).
4.2 Recommended Settings
| Setting | Conservative | Moderate | Aggressive |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPU Clock | +25 MHz | +50 MHz | +75 MHz |
| Memory Clock | +100 MHz | +200 MHz | +300 MHz |
| Power Limit | +10% | +20% | +50% |
| Fan Speed | Auto | Aggressive | Manual 100% |
🔧 Troubleshooting Common Issues
❌ No Display Signal
Cause: Cable connected to wrong port
Solution: Connect monitor to GPU ports, not motherboard
Check: Ensure card is fully seated in PCIe slot
🔥 High Temperatures
Cause: Poor case ventilation or dust buildup
Solution: Clean GPU fans, improve case airflow
Settings: Increase fan curves, reduce overclocks
⚡ System Crashes
Cause: Insufficient power or unstable overclock
Solution: Check PSU capacity, reduce overclock settings
