4870 Overclocking Thread

I'd agree if you had a TOP card, you didn't. It's a different bios for a different model but whatever, it's always easier to point fingers.

Since it ran for 3 weeks like that and the VRM temps were kept under 80c, core temps under 40c. What does the BIOS have to do with anything then? If the BIOS flash was bad it would've died the minute I flashed it. The TOP card and the vanilla are the same thing, just a different BIOS that makes the fan run on a different profile - the only difference are the fan speeds @ specific temps. Its the exact same card with a different fan profile. So because it was water cooled and I didnt need any additional fan speed what you are saying makes no sense. If it was a bad flash that would've killed it immediately. To just say flashing a vanilla ASUS HD4870 with the TOP bios killed it 3 weeks later is stupid.

Who am I pointing fingers at? The GPU quit working. The GPU died. There's nowhere else to point fingers but at the GPU.
