Hey guys,

Ive had my 6950 for a while now and currently have it at stock Core and memory freq...i do however have the shaders unlock only bios installed with stock 6950 voltages.

So im wanting to overclock,If i go to 940/1450 i dont see any artifacts or anything in Furmark stability tests,although if i run Heaven Benchmark it crashes my system stright away and i just get a black screen until i force restart.

I think its because it needs more juice?...what sort of voltage you guys recommend i try? stock gpu coltages according to Sapphire trixx is -1100.

Bth ive got a new cooler comming in a few days which should help with keeping her cool. (Gelid Solutions Icy Vision Rev.2)

Appreciate any help.
 
Bump the voltage up to 1.175v as that the 6970 voltage.

Had mine at about 1.25v for benching but bottled it after that.

Seen some run at 1.3v.

What are your temps like?
