    Undervolt Powercolor 6850 SCS3

    Hi dejjin If I interpret your post correctly, I already did what you suggested: I tried this: 1) uninstalled driver 2) changed voltage in 6850 bios 3) reboot - no BSOD 4) installed driver - reboot - BSOD According to powercolors tech support, AMD drivers check if the clock...

    Undervolt Powercolor 6850 SCS3

    I found a way to change both clocks and vCore: "Ati Tray Tools". After uninstalling CCC (and deactivating AMD polling), I was able to set the low power state 150MHz/300MHz/0.95V as well as the standard-clocks at reduced vCore: 775/1000/0.95V. It is stable and considerably reduces the heat...

    Undervolt Powercolor 6850 SCS3

    Update: Changing bios settings without a driver being installed does not seem to change the clock/voltage settings. Here is what I did: 1) Uninstalled drivers (system settings - express uninstall) 2) Changed bios settings: clock info 01 (100MHz/150MHz/0.95V) to (200MHz/300MHz/1.1V). This...

    Undervolt Powercolor 6850 SCS3

    Update: Changing any of the clock settings via RBE results in BSOD when booting windows (i guess that is to be expected due to AMD drivers). Changing voltage settings via RBE results in BSOD. I can change the fan settings via RBE without triggering BSOD => modifying the bios and flashing...

    Undervolt Powercolor 6850 SCS3

    Dear Experts! For the passively cooled 6850 SCS3 it would be most desirable to undervolt. But when I change any voltage via RBE1.28, I get BSOD after reboot. So far I found no tool to undervolt this card, but TRIXX can overvolt it so it might by possible. Is this problem caused by this...
