4870 1GB Help with bios please

[nuttah]

Well, Ive got a sapphire 4870 1GB, got my watercooling up and running and Im looking for a way to edit my bios or find an already modified bios to pump my gpu voltage even by a little.
My current stable gpu core speed is 855. Ive only pushed the memory up to 1000. Idle temp 33C, 43C under load. I used rivatuner 2.21 to OC.

Ive read almost every post and there isnt much info about 3870 1GB cards and their bioses :S

Don't know if it's the default or not"

hmm, ... I can OC using rivatuner, and I see it offers 1.263v exactly as much as my bios does. I hope some other manufacturer offers more voltage. Thanks for the reply

have you read this already?
i changed my 4870 1gb bios with the help of that thread.

Yeah Ive read it... this bios is for lower noise/stress on the card while in 2d mode. Not worth it when you use watercooling. From all Ive read so far, it seems like the voltage values are locked by hardware, so if one opens his original vga bios and checks the voltage values thats what he can play with.
Unfortunately mine doesnt support more than 1.263v so I might be stuck with that. Too bad.
Unless I do a voltmod...

voltages on the 4870's cannot be altered unless you do a hard voltmod, there is no possible pencil mod either.
