that sux man, you should've done better :shrug:
Oh, god, no. The Thermalright aluminum sinks that come with HR-03 GT are not that great, i used these nickle-plated copper Tweakmonster ramsinks on my VRMs and memory, they were also lapped with...
Well, i'm only experimenting with coolers, and the better one will stay permanently. The HR-03 GT is excellent for GPU core cooling but sucks for VRMs. This is why people actively cooled them by...
Have you considered aftermarket cooling? I just installed an HR-03 GT and lapped copper ramsinks on my card, it dropped my core temps from 40-43C idle to 29-34C idle and from 52-55C load to 41-43C...
65C is somewhat warm, my temps with the stock cooler didnt exceed 53-54C at full load but i do have a very cool case. I recomend you increase your fan speed for better stability. With my 1GB HD 4870...
So have anyone got the Evga Voltage Tuner working on G80 cards? I have an Evga 8800GTS 640 as my backup card so i'm curious.
While i'll be installing aftermarket cooling on my 4870, i'll install...
well, great, man, at least you got it working and thats all that matters :)
ok, let me try to answer your question first. As i sed earlier, I used the page 5 of this guide linked to below where the guy explains how to do it but i suspect the info there is incomplete:

Well, just wanted to post my results, the RivaTuner softmod successfully worked on my MSI 4870, not only was i able to raise the voltage but it also resulted in higher clocks. I was previously stuck...
i dont know which method are you referring to but if you used the RivaTuner voltage adjustment method then it doesnt have to be done every time you reboot. If you follow the link i posted above on...
well, thnx, unwinder. that clears things up for us ATI users.
Good thing old method 2 using RivaTuner works so far. I'm about to push my clocks further and see if it has any effect.
Regarding EVGA Tuner no, but there is another way to do it. After failing to do it with that program i used the old method #2 on the first page:
...
Well, the patched eVGA Tool didnt work on my reference MSI 4870 1GB OC edition. Installed the program, then installed the patch, it said it was applied succesfully. I decided to do a small voltage...
