Radeon HD 6950 2GB Flash Mod
So, I've got the first interface design Radeon HD 6950, and I can flash it to a 6970. But, apparently if you don't do it the right way, after a week or so you'll get artifacts. This is caused by the RAM which in the 6970 is set to a different voltage. I'm using an XFX card, which according to the graphs on TechPowerUp, has a high success rate.
I just wanted to know: Would it matter if I used the .zip or followed the instructions?
Also, it says after you flash it and set the PowerTune to +20%, your card will consume 252W and reach 92°C. My card has only ever reached 78°C so far. Is 92°C OK and is 252W OK considering I have a 650W?
