Or if you mean heatsink, why anything other than reference would have a problem when "coming out of 3D clocks". When you leave an application where the 3D clocks are used, the card would only COOL DOWN since it would then be in 2D mode... It's not so much what you are talking about that is confusing me, but how you are saying things. I understand everything individually, but when you put them together like that it just isn't coherent (again at least to me it isn't heh). |
I see, you don't understand my post but that didn't stop you from saying that information is incorrect? This is rich indeed, thanks for the laugh. As for the "source", it was already provided. Just scroll up a bit.

I don't think we need to argue here. The response is still fitting.

The truth of the matter remains the same, it was done for a dual card according to what he provided.

So far the only program I found that offered it was ATi Tray Tools, but it seemed to be having problems with changing clocks on both cards and it was freezing the PC when I clicked apply :\

If you are not able to find it why are you arguing with me? You don't know what the metal plate on the card is nor can you find voltage, gpu/memory information in the xml file.
I believe you are only frustrating yourself here as your knowledge on what was provided does show to be limited I'm afraid.
Edit:
I'll try to explain it a bit more.
The card I have comes with a metal plate that cools the vregs/mosfets, ram, etc. That plate IMO isn't the best for cooling. Because of that when returning back from 3D overclocks (which CCC allows) I don't see the card getting cooled when at 400/1200. This is in part do to the higher voltages at 400/1200. When it down clocked at 157/300 temps would always go back to normal in part do to the lower voltages needed at 157/300 (got it?). Now per catalystmaker's tweet he said that the increase in 2D clocks was the direct result for dual card. After looking into this a bit more I found a post by Spyre (an Admin at AMD forum) stating that it was also for 120Hz monitors. Which is included in the release notes of Cat 10.5 (IE: support for 120Hz monitors, etc).
Now here's the problem. I (as well as others) do not have any issues using the original 2D clocks but do have problems with the higher 2D clocks (IE: higher temps, possible throttling, etc). So it only makes sense that we are given the option to return back to 157/300. For those that need the higher 2D clock rate give them the option as well.
So in the end there is really nothing to argue about. If you are not effected by either case then you really aren't making much of a point.
