Thanks for that info. I did not know that. Here is a link of the new arctic cooler i was talking about. It should be out soon and will come with the fans already.

just flashed mine, will see how it goes
Looking at that picture, there is no change in the voltage ... 1.2625v, same as any other HD4870

Agreed, ive flashed back to the asus mod bios now, voltage still 1.26
Nice cooling Will but that is one ugly MF of a card.
I thought it looked quite cool
Nah, Rev 2 + some decent 92mm fans is good, 2x 120mm fans would be better tho, might try that.

Yea I thought that, but am deffo more stable and get higher clocks with the BIOS.
Sounds like an idea to me. I may just do that. 2 x 120 mm, wonder how that would look!
Maybe I should stick on 2 of these?

Haha, gotcha! Yeah i know. Check this out:
On a real note, I was think of 2 of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-000-XI
Good price for performance I would say, and the colours would go nice with the graphics card

So far 10 people have downloaded the BIOS. Could you guys share with us your results? Was you able to get more of an OC from this BIOS? Any stablity issues?
For me they have been rock solid. Only had a problem when I overclocked too much once, thats it.

Hi Everyone,
Didn't really want to start a new thread for this, but does anyone know of a good Overclocking and fan control utility that works on vista 64 apart from CCC?
ATT needs too much messing about for my liking, and i get the "display driver not responding" agro when using CCC.
Can't wait for riva tuner!
Any help would be appreciated

Hi guys, I know this is a bit off topic but I was just thinking, is there any drawbacks to running the card at lower clock speeds then default? For example, right now I have set the defaults on my card to be 500 core and 550 memory. Anything wrong with doing this at all? The advantage I would say is less power draw when idle and it seems to be a little bit cooler also.
Thanks.
Thanks.
The only thing I know about is the AMD tool, or thats what i remember it being called. I have not used it though. I say just wait for Riva Tuner
