Best BIOS for 3870?

[Monkeynut]

Hi there,

Have a Sapphire 3870 (the older dual-slot one) and the bios won't let me further than 850. What's the best BIOS that removes this limit? And can you increase the voltage via the BIOS and does it provide any appreciable benefit?

Thanks.

Look for the latest sapphire bios with reference clocks here

Should have the limit removed. If not try a different board partner. I think 1.327v is the highest voltage via bios which actually increases the real voltage.

Cheers, how do I go about increasing the voltage?

Ignore the pencil modding parts.

I can only assume that the bioses he's posted have the lock removed and have 1.327v selected.
