Are you sure you want to flash it's bios? That kinda stuff scares me a little! I have a connect 3d x850xt with an arctic cooler on board and it's presently runninig happily at 619mhz on the core and 1192mhz on the memory. Doesn't go over 60 degrees C playing oblivion!
Surely that's way fast enough and for the risk of a flash i'd stick with it's standard xt bios.
Your call though!
Thats a hell of a clock on the core. Im unsure on mine as i have taken core up to 570 and then 3d06 locked at firefly sceen. Weird thing was i didnt see any artifacts or anything prior to this. Load temps dont go above 50 with the zalman. Im not sure if its to do with using a 24" at 1920 x 1200?
My load temps are 54. Just looked at 3d settings and resolution is set to 1024 x768. ati tool locked up at 571 on core. Currently just running 3d05 with 520,605.
spec is: fx60@ 2.9ghz

shouldnt be psu problem or heat as in ecipse 62 and my temps r good.
have tried putting pci express freq up to 110 but doesnt seem to have helped. chipset is at 1.5v, ldt 1.2v
3d05 just crashed at 520,610 - no sign of artifacts before thou

No am on 6.4 drivers after getting random loack ups in windows using 6.3. 6.4 seems to have fixed that. 3d 05 just crashes 3d05 rather than whole comp. Think i'll just settle on pe speeds and flash it to them
By the way what does pci express freq do?

went over to 3d05 as welshtoms suggestion - 3d06 locked whole comp - at least 3d05 just crashes its own program
Just looked on sapphire website for x850xt pe bios - the files are winflash for motherboards and a bios for one of their boards. Just downloaded the atiflash on the x850xt and bios from techpowerup

Update: Had to use atiflash from techpowerup as that was able to force bios. Did this and then rebooted - was then at xt pe speed but the catalyst control panel didnt recognise the card so have had to flash back. Will see if any other sites have original xt pe bios or if anyone on here has xtpe bios that i could use
