hello.
im a noob so please bear with me. i am trying to run 2 hd5870's in crossfire. i have a daimond hd5870 flashed to msi and it works fine and can even overclock it . i also have a sapphire hd5870 and its been having probs. if i over clock it it random crashes and clocks rest to 850 mhz/1200 (mem) mhz and has iffy proformemce with or with out crossfire. it has already been rma'd and crashes happen less now but only in pci-e slot 1. is does pci-e 16 and pci-e 8 that important? both slots clock down to pci-e x8 in crossfire but google says thats not a biggie.
i would like to flash the bios of the shappire card to something else (msi) to see if that makes it more stable but i think its on a custom pcb , so i have no clue what bios would be safe for shappire. what should i use? thanks.
phenom x4 9750 (iknow , i know)
8gigs ram
1000watt psu (coolermaster)
gigabyte ma790gp-ud4h
win7 64
sapphire radeon hd5870 1gig
daimond radeon hd5870 1gig (msi bios from techpowerup)
