Arrrgghhh. I'm getting a headache from trying to read all the info on over-clocking 4850 cards, so i thought it might just be easier to ask.
I currently have a gigabyte 4850 card. It will overclock to 710 very stably in games and the max temp is only 63 degrees. so i feel i can get more out of the card.
Right here come the questions.
Gigabyes gaming HUD register the card already being at 1.24v (although this changes) what other app to people use to check their voltage.
My card isn't the standard one (in the volt-mod guide) so i can't do a pencil mod right?
If i flash the bios will i be able to get upto 1.3v?

On a sidenote - I changed the HSF on my board to a Coolermaster viva pro and the temps went up 5C! Is the zelman standard fan that comes with this card pure copper on anodized aluminum?

I think I remember reading somewhere that 710MHz GPU usually seems to be the limit for 4850 chips no matter what you do.
