You probably got it like that, when you installed VLC, and left it at the default (aka. recommended settings) and quickly went through with the installation without checking the file associate types.

You can add the chip entry bytes to the configuration file and that would work fine if the chip is supported (haven't seen one fail with this yet).

@Stranger, Just to add in, I also get temps of 55c average (max) in a game on a custom fan curve that does not exceed 60%. I idle on 35c average. Something must be restricting the airflow within your case.

DJ... You don't need a Furmark Extreme heating to test if your card is "stable". It's not like any games with extend over that threshold or lengths. Simply not needed. Basically, if it passes benchmarks, it's fine. -protip

Got the same scenario as you. Reverted back for now...

You are probably changing it incorrectly according to your posts.

No. It's not safe, do not change VID1 or VID2.

You do mean the 6950/6970???

Yes, that's why I mentioned "using a 3rd-party app that is causing that". And well, yes it can. Try not using any 3rd-party apps, uninstall them all, reboot, and then use CCC's Power Control. And his was set at 20% any way, and it doesn't seem like he was running any 3rd-party apps.

Yes, you can do that. If you want your actual "original" BIOS, you can always switch to the "2" position, which is the read-only BIOS, and when you boot up, save that BIOS on your computer. Then prepare the flashing tools and what not and use the BIOS you had just saved, but don't flash it just...

Yes, that is why it is not throttling back to lower clocks. Well, you do not NEED to, it only serves the purpose of maximizing your performance with benchmarks. Read it properly next time or research.

Constantly? Then that means it isn't throttling and lets say you've either set CCC's Power Control at 20% or using a 3rd-party app that is causing that.

Funny saying, cause I re-read it all over 4 times so far. Although, I'm going to stop lurking now for awhile. Cya.

No, Trixx works fine. It doesn't disable PowerPlay for me.

Just make sure you're following this correctly and WITH the position on "1". No point attempting it on the "2", as that is the read-only BIOS. How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 695...
