can this tool change the voltages on ati 3870x2 cards?
I have one of those ASUS EAH 3870/G (not the top!) with Hynix memories, combined with a Connect3d! The crossfire is working fine, but ...:
This ASUS has a two wire fan (called Glaciator) and this fan is always running 100%.
I also noticed that RBE shows that the PWM ramp is ON!
Question:
-Is it normal to have a PWM ramp ON with a 2 wires fan?
-Will the fan regulate if I change the setting from all-the-time-100% to different values according to the temp?
Thanks in advance for your answers
Edit: I have tried different bios from different manufacturer, but it always comes out with bugs! I guess it is because of the hynix memories chips!
If the hardware supports it, yes. Unfortunately, I suppose your card (i.e. its voltage transformer) does not support higher or even freely programmed voltages at all. Therefore, I think you have to pencil- or hardmod to gain more voltage.

The fan controller is built into the GPU. So even your card has one, and it can be programmed by the BIOS. Therefore, it can be programmed to use PWM ramp or not. However, your card does not use its fan controller for it uses a two-wired power connected fan only. There's no way to do something about it on software level, sorry.

Forgive me for being out of loop (if I am), but by "fixed some issues with 3600 cards" does that mean that we can flash our cards now without having to reinstall our drivers? Or does that still need to be done afterwards?
Hey bagzzlash, I've notice everytime i open a my bios "2900GT" it doesn't show up in the Video Card Section, like the rest do.

It should mean that exactly, thank you for asking this!
Yeah, this should work now. It's not tested though 'cause I don't have a 3600. Would you give it a shot and keep me updated?
You got it, Judge Fudge.

Sorry, I can't listen. I'm far too busy - being delicious!
But seriously: It worked without reinstalling, right?

Sure did! Do the new clocks not show up in GPU-Z, though? Flashed the defaults on my 3600 to 820/940, but the defaults still show up as 725/800.

Hi there BAGZZlash, I would love to use the RBE to mod my 4850's but it seems the clockspeeds don't change after flashing. even though I changed all of the 3-d speeds it will still show 625 when re-booted by both CCC and GPU-Z. any help is appreciated. In my case it flashes fine and says it is successful but the speeds are the same as before? When I tried to set bios higher than 700 i had to re-load drivers, but it still didn't show the increase and benches are the same score.

I think increasing the voltage within the bios isn't possible, you must do a voltmod to get more mhz.Im sort of disappointed in my Visiontek 4850(s) I have 2 of them in CrossfireX and figured with the core being the same as the 4870 that it would go to the 700mhz no problems, but while 3dmark06 stable I crash out of Crysis & Grid, lowering it down to 675 has been stable. I figure the major difference has to be the voltage.
So has anybody tried to increase the voltage via bios for the 4850's and see how it works?
Also I am totally new to RBE, is there any extra step or process I should be aware of since I have two video cards? Well actually that would be a question for the bios rip/flash utility not RBE. Right now I have issues with that as ATI Winflash will not run in Vista x64 for me. Just acts like its going to load but never does.
I think increasing the voltage within the bios isn't possible, you must do a voltmod to get more mhz.
For flashing I suggest that you use a bootable usb stick. How to make one? Click HERE

The maximum voltage for 4850 cards reachable using BIOS modding seems to be 1.20 to 1.21 volts. For more, you need to do a hardmod.
To gain maximum via BIOS modding, simply set a value silghtly above this 1.20V (e.g. 1.3 volts) to be sure to reach max.

For doing that, would I change the volts that are being displayed as "---"? Check pics if I am unclear.

I know what it mean, I was asking if those were the correct ones to change.
Hi!
I figured what may be part of the problem finding appropriate slots to overclock 48x0 cards. As you know, some clock info settings of RBE are locked by default. As this was helpful for 3xx0 cards, it might be disturbing for 4xx0 cards, which is why from RBE v1.12 on, it will be turned off by default.
In RBE v1.11, it's on by default and so, it kicks in: RBE loads the BIOS and displays the clocks, but due to the lock, all locked clocks are the same. Again, for 3xx0 cards, these clocks really were the same, but not for 4xx0 cards.
Even when you unlock after loading the BIOS, the information is gone. So, I made a screenshot with lock turned off by default and RBE shows this:
So maybe you should consider changing clock info 3 to 9 for overclocking (at least 3 and 7 to 9, for I'm pretty sure 4 to 6 are used in UVD mode only), clock info 1 for 2D mode and clock info 2 for low 3D mode (i.e. Vista aero).
A 4870 BIOS I loaded had "high" clocks at 3 and 9 only (besides 4 to 6 for UVD), so maybe this may be enough for overclocking. Clock info 8 is medium performance setting (i.e. for Vista aero) for state 3 then. See:
Furthermore, clock info 7 may be the 2D setting if the card is at powerplay state 3.
Long story short - You maybe want to use this as a basis:
I entered a GPU clock of 710 and a memory clock of 1030 MHz to denote "overclock here". Enter the values of your choice.
I'd be glad if anyone gave me an update about whether this was useful.
