WANTED: Asus TOP bios set for 4870x2

[T_M]

Sure, tonight.
But its easy to make it for yourself from the ones above anyway

Gautam, in CF 4870x2, are you saying that if i just uninstall CCC then i can set my BIOS clocks above the cap (800 for old BIOS, 900 for TOP) and the cards will be recognised and run fine? I saw No-Name's monster clocks and wonder if that is how he achieved it?

[BulldogPO]

Thanks T M



Gpu-z saids only 790/915, it should had been 800/1000 with the bios T M link to

I'm using un modified Asus TOP bios.

Yes T_M. Thou i didnt unistall CCC. I just used RBE to create the bios files to what i wanted

Could you upload this for us?

Team.AU comes through with the goods.

800/1000 @ 100% fan, 900/1000 clock limit

on the same post you have the asus bios !

[DeDaL]

what program you are use guys when you want to extract 4870X2's bioses ?

I use Atiflash 3.60s, after exrtaction i have 2 different sizes files, after that i cant edit via RBE1.14

To the best of my knowledge you can still use Atiflash but you need to add 20000 to the end of your command coz its a 128k file not 64k like the earlier 3870's

I use GPU-Z to grab the BIOS's dead easy.

C-N thanks , i just forget about it

Call me picky, but I would rather have the original that does not have the tick mark next to modified.

That would be great, just like to start from scratch.

[T_M]

Use GPU-Z to grab Bios 0 and Bios 1.
Then edit using RBE.
FInally, flash using ATIFlash in DOS

Here's the TOP Bios's unmodded for the picky people:

What software do you use for overclocking? CCC does´nt change clocks for me (I will try that Team-AU modded bios now.)

[T_M]

I create Bios's and flash clocks, i dont attempt to use CCC or AMDGPUClockTool cos none seem to work for me all 4 cards.

If you have a special request for clocks i will modify the TOP bios for you and post it.

[r1rhyder]

I really appreciate it T_M, thank you. And I agree, nothing overclocks all four gpu's with my crossfirex either.

[Sagart]

Thanks for the bios, Tim.

Kinc said anything about an hardmod for the biosvoltage-setting to work, didn't he? Anyone know anything about this?

Atleast setting voltage in bios doesn't seem to work on my Sapphire-card.

[T_M]

Definately for me to get 820core to load vista, i have to set more than 1.25V in the BIOS.
Using 1.35V works well.

hiya steven (wot you doing on here ) i see you've got the bios now

works ok this 1000mhz on memory no artifacts , i think asus have loosened the timings as its not much quicker than 900 and odd , ati overdrive has 900 gpu core in as well

what do you mean add 20000?

[Gautam]

CCC does change the clocks, just select each core seperately. Ignore GPU-Z, the gains are there.

[C-N]

what do you mean add 20000?

Application, command to backup, adapter number, file name, size.

atiflash -s 0 master.rom 20000

atiflash -s 1 slave.rom 20000

Try it, you cant mess anything up backing up just make sure the backed up files are 128k.

Thanks for the bios T M. I edited it to 1.35 volts and made the fan ramp up a bit more under load. Running at 832/1000 stable no worries, thats about the limit for the GPU's, havnt tested if the mem can do more than 1000 yet.

[RADCOM]

Thanks C-N, I'll wait until I have the EK block on the card as the fan is pretty terrifying.

Hi Glen, eggcelent reading here on this forum. Get to hear from some world class overclockers like T_M, or is it Tim. CCC does seem to be the only thing that overclocks all four gpu's, but the 800 core limit was killing me. I hope someone comes up with a new toollib.dll for amdgpuclocktool soon. I'm just a little leery at the moment about flashing to 1000 mem because my cards were artifacting at 960. I don't want the hassle of flashing and then having to flash right back. Or bricking 900 dollars of hardware. I'm one of those guy's that won't return or rma a peice of hardware that I was responsible for frying. So I want to be sure about this first, probably wait a few more day's and see some more results. Those guy's are the reason we are locked out of the bios.

[T_M]

r1rhyder, if you flash the mem clocks to 1000 you should have no problem if the video card is not stable, because it will only be unstable under load which is not in DOS
Do the flashing in small steps, and if you find that you cant even load windows at one point then i would not attempt 1000 because as you say that is approaching brick.

As for you comment about not being bothered..... try flashing like 100 times per night like i am currently

After flashing my mem higher than the cap, it works fine at 1020, but 1030 causes crash quite quickly in '03 GT1.

A tip for flashing: use BIOS file names that represent the clock speeds, and identify master from slave.
Remember that you will only be able to see 8 digits in DOS.
E.g. i use "82c103m0.rom" which tells me 820 core / 1030 mem / 0 = master
