*** Official OMG I've finally got my 5850 thread **

Well 1050/1300 is my max overclock, here's the lastest vantage score :D

I thought you were stuck at 950 or something. What vcore has it needed to go over 1000?

Not quite the same without you 260 in there though. Did I see you sell it in the MM, I thought you'd keep it?

Shows what happens if you get up early and do these things, i just flashed mine by mistake with the 5870 bios now i doing that FurMark on stability and the temps are at 68c fan speed on 62% are those temps to high or should i re-flash with a 5850 bios ?

I've removed the links to 5870 bios' now from the OP as this is a thread about 5850s.
 
EK full waterblock. Need 1.25v for 1000 stability. Max clock so far now is 1070/1300.

You bought one then. Nice :cool:. Any pics/temps for us?

I thought you might get better clocks once the core temp came down with water cooling. What voltage are you on now for 1070?
 
Wrong thread mate. Try this one.

This card, or possibly it's drivers, is borked for me when it comes to standby/hibernation. It works but it doesn't seem to initialise the HDCP or something as I get no display but my amp shows that the HDMI connection is active.

It's not the first time I've seen this kind of thing with desktop components, sleep states are often a PITA. What I don't get is why it's still a problem after all these years when every laptop I've had (and that's quite a few) have worked flawlessly.
 
Blimey Loadsa, sounds like a right blonde day. :D

That was like listening to one of Mrs W's 'You wouldn't believe the day I've had' stories! :p
 
GPUZ 0.3.6 now supports more sensors on the 5850 :)

All a bit strange. Fornowagain was convinced that it was limited by hardware.

You've definitely proved there that it will go to 1.5v.
 
Day 6 of Loadsamoney's log..............the screen looks like a gingham shirt! :D

Seriously though, I read today that the yields are really low for these cards. Maybe that's why some are giving a bit of trouble?
 
Not sure, I will have to check. I know when I was trying to find the max of my card with the MSI bios and 1.35v the VDDC maxxed out at 50C though ;)

Nice. I'm still hoping the EK block will come down a little in price?

I noticed last night that a benchmark run of Furmark pushed the VDDCs to 60C, whereas a full benchmark run of the unigine DX11 engine only peaked em at 50C which I would think is more realistic.

I'll try it tonight with some lengthy gaming. :)
 
im getting more and more blank screens causing the pc to freeze, this happend before my flash so im sure its not that,think its gonna have to be reflashed and sent back :( psu should be more than good enough as I had a 285 before its on a clean install so i can only think the card is faulty or its the damn cat drivers

I went back to WHQL ones last night as I was having problems with the beta ones.
 
It must be something to do with Win7 and the drivers then, except this long start up thing which I guess can't be.

Having said that, is anyone that's had the long start up thing actually running Vista or XP, I'm not and I've not had it.
