Morning all,

Either I am going mad or Solar posted a link to a 5870 not a 7000 series GPU, I am right in thinking we were looking for the max temps of the 7000 series not the old 5000 series right?

Yeah but they all use the same make type so it applies to all anything after 95 c is a killer I seen my Gpu's reach 89c so im sure it's right on

 

[paulpicks21]

I figure the 5000 series uses 40nm, the new 7000 series run 28nm, surely this means the maximum safe temps would be different?

I don't know much about this but I figured it was totally different technology so they should run cooler, much like the change from say the core2quad cpu's to say sandybridge.

Everyone I see on these forums about temps are asking is 78c too much

I still think that is where the line is drawn only way to find out for sure is to contact AMD on this but at the same time this would probably be refrence card temps vs all the moded cards that are out right now

I have 2 refrence cards vs your 7970 ed which has a much different cooling solution

Changing the Bios to the Ghz ed hooked me up

Nice 1 chap

Nice one Solar, I just checked back several pages to see your previous score. Looks like you bagged a 169 point increase on Heaven after the bios change. Good work

I was scared to do it fear of bricking but what the hell right I have two bios has to be good for something

Yes mate, and sounds like it has worked out nice, have your temps increased much since the change?

Not at all with the new Bios it is like the Ghz.ed with the same specs and low voltage runs cool and temps are the same also using 13.3 beta drivers I think those helped too

Nice score dude

I can't remember what I scored on the new Heaven 4.0, I know its a lot more demanding than the previous version.

Thanks Paul, yes it is a lot more demanding. I'm playing with OCing my card now. I used the zotac firestorm since its the same brand. I'm going to download Precision now, I heard great things about it. I do like the colors of firestorm black and gold but the interface is kinda ugly. Heres a picl

Yeah Precision X is a nice bit of software, I hope you have more luck with your card than I had with my old 660ti, I managed a measly +18 on the core, the memory was very overclockable though and I got +600 but the memory didn't make much difference in anything.

Let us know how it goes.

Will do, that screenshot I posted is with +80 Core and +120 memory Had the core 10 higher but crashed on the 3rd heaven run so dropped it 10. Havent tried raising the memory more yet.

Well I am glad you got more than me Dude, I tell ya even if I set it to +20Mhz on the core it would crash on Heaven, it annoyed me so much as I like overclocking I sold the card in the end and bought the 7970, the stock is 1050mhz, I can run 1230mhz all day long and temps are great. But I usually leave it stock as it runs fine.

 

[Dude]

Got it to run with +90 on the core and +200 memory. Had to give a small bump in the mV, it ran five passes of heaven, so if it doesn't crash when gaming I'll see if the boost is worth it.

 

[Dude]

Well it passed heaven fine but BF3 didn't like it at all. I switched it back to stock settings. I'm checking something else now but will start another thread.

Yup Bf3 always shows if a cpu is unstable for me. I can pass IBT and other tests then fail after 10 mins of BF.
I hope you find its sweet spot or are you leaving it stock now?
