Because every chip is different, one can run hotter and yet run at higher clocks. Just look at the difference between the C0 and D0 I7 920.
Hey guys. One question. I have an 5770 Vapor-X, I save the bios with GPU-Z, imported in Radeon Bios Editor 1.22 and modified some settings for max occ. using clock tuning wizard (1050 GPU/ 1300 RAM/ 1.272 voltage). I also used, in "Additional features" - "Method 2 - No hash" for upper limit GPU 1200Mhz\ Upper limit RAM 1500Mhz. Please tell me if is possible to flash the bios using the current settings. I heard and also read in here that there might be some problems with the RBE and to kill my card. Thank you in advance for advices.
this will not work you wont be able to load any catalyst driver for the card because you have moved the upper limit for ccc overdrive your self then the driver say it is a no go
OK, so if I leave unaltered the upper limits in "Additional features", and only modify the voltage and frequency for the GPU/RAM, should I be ok? :confused:Quote:

I tried this bios on a Club3D 5770 V2. Stock volts 950-1350 possible. But voltage adjustment with afterburner is not working. I used a multimeter but its still stock 1.14-1.16v load while i did set 1.2v.
Anyone here that has succes with afterburner and a V2 ?
try asus smart doctorQuote:

Hey, i bought two HIS 5770's but these seems to be with HIS's own PCB and ofcourse, these are CCC-limited and Asus bios wont work with these.
If i try to oc with MSI Afterburner (EnableUnofficialOverclocking =1) my system freezes if i raise gpu clocks. So that wont work either.
AMD GPU Clock Tool wont even recognise my cards. This is very disappointing cause i can hit 960MHz with stock volts which are also bigger than
normally, stock volt for these are 1.2v. Any ideas how to achieve more clocks to these? And these have only one Crossfire connecter also!;)

snoro, if you have this card you might have same problem as i have, that's with different pcb also..

no i have a v1 xfx card.
edit, did a bit more searching and found that you can enable unofficial overclocking in msi afterburner that go past the bios limit. I am now running at 1ghz core 1.35 ghz memory at 1.25v with only 2c more of max temp at full load.
You just have to open the config file of arterburner and change the unofficial overclocking value from 0 to 1 and you are good. Dont need to flash the bios.
the only drawback is you lose powerplay and that mean it never get into its idle mode so if you bought it for the power saving, the afterburner unofficial trick is not a good idea for you.
No, that's not working with my cards. Instant freeze when i try to overclock with unofficial enabled.
maybe you try a bit too much ? i was able to get 1050 core and 1400 memory with no problem at 1.25v with no error in furmark stability test and temp never higher than 60c. pvhk and bhavy could help you a bit more for crossfire overclocking. Have you tried asus smart doctor ? it could be more easy with that.
No matter how much i oc with Afterburner when unofficial overclocking is enabled, it freezes system anyway, even when downclocking.
With unofficial disabled i can oc core's to 960 (limit) without problem.
use the amdgputool
AMD Gpu Clock Toop didnt work either, but i solved my problem! Cause of that was 9.12 Hotfix drivers and ULPS.
When i chanced "EnableULPS" register from "1" to "0" with regedit and rebooted, now i can overclock these cards over the CCC-limits
with MSI Afterburner!:) Second cards fancontrol didnt work either, but no it does! Perhaps this could help someone else also!
That's with Windows 7. Good luck guys!
So, i got overclocked these cards but when i tested these with 1.27v, another cards temps raised 80c under unigine heaven!!
So i desided to reseat coolers and added new pastes for both, also inserted heatsinks to mems.
Temps dropped more than 25c!!! Here some results with 1.3v/980MHz! Unigine really stresses gpu's to their limit!
http://www.aijaa.com/img/b/00415/5448900.png
It was GPU2 which had over 80c temps, and reason was cause HIS was inserted way too much thermalpaste!
Cooler didnt even touch the chip it self. So this "modding" was absolutely worth it!:)
Here pics from my cards with memsinks.

good to know since i might be thinking of getting a asus v1 card and do crossfire in maybe 1 or 2 month when i have finished paying everything on credit card that i bought for the computer or christmas.
I just ordered 2 sapphire 5770 cards and 2 EK fullcoverblocks to keep them cool. :)
I'd like to know if i need to flash this bios on the Sapphire cards (V1 cooler) or is the Sapphire bios good enough for 1200 CCC limit?
just change the enableunofficialoverclocking value from 0 to 1 and get the 9.12 hot fix for crossfire and you should be good
Thanks, just changed the value already and am now at 1200 limit for my current 4870.
Can't wait for the 5770's. :)

heres a good guide for flashing using atiflash
edit: apparently not me haha :p
so im having trouble flashing my 5770
so i fallowed the above link directions ( http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=57750 ) formatted the usb stick and put the atiflash 3.79, and asusunlockedbios.bin on it.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2684/...618cf978_o.png
then i boot from sub stick and at the command i type
c>atiflash -p 0 asusunlockedbios.bin
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2694/...c9b38677e9.jpg
what am i doing wrong?
You have to force the flash with this command
-f -p 0 asusunlockedbios.bin
ok i formated usb stick again using just FAT not FAT32 and unchecked quick format...
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2715/...243e3ee5_o.png
then typed atiflash -f -p 0 asusunlockedbios.bin
nothing...im assuming im supposed to have the spaces and use "zero" correct?
i will recheck boot files....

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2798/...67b63640_b.jpg
CCC showing limits of 1200/1445 now
ok now i can go on to testing ;p
ok passed furmark and ran heaven benchmark @ 1000/1200 @ 1.2v
setup a fan profile so temps dont go past 70-71c
sweet!

ok just a quick review/heads up....
download boot files for usb stick from here:

Right, flashed this bios this afternoon on both my Sapphire HD 5770's --flawless!
Finally got rid of a multitude of aggravating problems AfterBurner gave me after i changed "EnableUnofficialOverclocking" to "1" in the cfg file.
Problems like system hanging after making changes in AB, resetting only one card to default values or only applying settings to 1 card, etc.
The cards now clock over the 960 limit without a hicup. :)
I flashed the cards in crossfire config like this:
atifflash -f -p 0 unlock.bin then reboot with ctrl+alt+del, boot into windows, new device found. :) Checking with GPU-Z, yes, Asus bios.
Back into dos, typing this command: atiflash -f -p 1 unlock.bin , reboot, same thing...done!
Change the biosname to something short, "asus unlock bios.bin" was too long and not recognized by Atiflash. I named it "unlock.bin"
I ran 3 dm 06 at 1070/1350 this afternoon with 1.35V on both cards, watercooled. :cool:
My cards have Samsung memorychips, they max around 1350-1360MHz, i think the Hynix is much better.
what does "EnableUnofficialOverclocking" changed from "0" to "1" do?
ah ok i get it, i flashed my bios so i dont need to do this.Quote:

but when i overclock in MSI afterburner (1000/1300/1.25v) it runs most of the time at 157/300, hence the stutter and lines when im in the desktop(2D mode)
weird...
anybody experience this?
It enables you to go over the 960MHz CCC core limit.Quote:

It's a real shame as I would have loved to have kept this card looks like not many with this type of cooler were made.

Anyone had a similar problem ? did a bit of googling and found a few people that had this 600mhz problem on stock cards but cant find any solutions.
that mean you got one of the wrong bios saphirre vapor-x hd5770. To solve that problem, you have to flash your bios to a normal one or you can just simply already get the asus unlocked one. It will sert back you stock spec at 850core and 1250mem and you will have unlimited overclocking limit.
It has the asus unlocked bios on there.The stock for this card is 850/1200 it's not a vapor x.
Hey guys, I have a XFX 5770 rev 1 stock cooler. I use MSI afterburner to try 990MHz-1035MHz with 1.2V-1.35V voltage but it freezes after a few seconds when I running 3dmark 06 and vantage, it could not be stable even I bump the voltage to 1.35V and seems to get even unstable. I have tried my memory clock at stock 1200MHz and up to 1485MHz and I think it's not because of the memory. Also the load temp never goes up to 65C. Is my chip really a defective one? I can only pass 3dmark 06 on max clock at 985MHz, I also passed 3dmark 06 on 960MHz core on stock voltage (1.125V).
I have flashed this unlocked BIOS to my Powercolor 5770 PCS+ with success. However, I still can't enable the voltage control. I select enable voltage control in afterburner, but still nothing.
Is this feature disabled by Powercolor? Do I need to do something else to enable it?
