I flashed the ASUS Top bios again on my Club3D 4870. After a real power off it didn't boot again just like the first time. I had to flash the card with a 2nd card in my pc again. I will now use my own custom bios again (allready running now). I didn't get to much comments the 1st time but the...

I use Cat3.7 (not beta). In other programs I get 1100, just RBE.

Yesterday I flashed the asus top bios and it worked fine. I rebooted a few times and so, it still worked fine. Today I had some bas news when I woke up my pc. My display was black and stayed this way! After putting my good old 6600 from my 3rd pc into the machine it booted fine, but not the...

I noticed that auto tune gave me 790/990 or so before, it now gives me 860/960!! On the same card.

The ASUS gives 1200 max in RBE for me.

I flashed the Asus as well (also Club3D). It's running at 820/1000 for now. I didn't change the bios (or should I say I didn't load the changed bios ;) ). I don't run the memory over 1000 because I get some (but not much) Artifacts over this setting and 1 is 1 to many for me. I recommend...

Thanks, good to know. I have one too. I will flash it later today.

Room temp: 26C Card temp max: 60C Fan settings: Custom fan settings Clock: 850 / 1090 Voltage GPU: Default GPU clock on 860MHz runs as well, I'll test it later. I will try to give more juice to it in a copple of weeks.

Oh wait a sec. I didn't watercool the 4870 if that was what you were thinking. It's the standard cooling solution (for now).

Thanks, Ambient was 22.5C. I was using default cooling and stock voltages. Oh and on the photo you can see my 7600GS with Zalman cooler. I now have another 12cm fan (one behind and one after my HD case) to cool the GFX card.

I made an attempt to overclock my HD4870 as well. I have much experience with cpu overclocking but not with this (did test with my 7600 and flashed it). Let's see how this goes. The 1st thing I did was alter my bios because of the high temps. I am now beneath 50-55C at all times (as you can see...
