It may take me some time because; a) I don't own a multimeter yet b) I don't like screwing with my pc with the power on c) It would require removing the Arctic Cooling heatsink/fan and probably putting the old cooler back on :twitch: One thing I will be doing is reflashing the bios with the...

Where do I see where my volts are at? I might go the pencil mod when the time for an update looms, otherwise, too risky. I may as well throw in some other settings just in case they mean something: ATi Tool reports: 16 pipelines active Mem settings: MEM_TRCDRD: 7 MEM_TRCDWR: 4 MEM_TRP: 5...
