Hi,

It's my first post on XTremeSystems.

I bought a Connect3D HD3850 with 512MB of Ram for 179 euros and I'm verry happy with it but I'll be pleased to overclock it and to get the most from it. Unfortunately I can't pass 730Mhz for the core without having a crash while heavy loading it for 10min (I get 88 degrees on load).

I tryied several HD3850 bioses found here on the forum or on TechPowerUp site but none work (big artefacts even on boot).

My questions:
- The HD3850 bioses are specific to a HW manufacturer and/or mem amount?
- Does it exist tools to modify the HD3850 bioses?
- Can we modify the CCC to show (pass) the 720 MHz(715 real)?
- Wich HSF do you recommend (Zalman, Zerotherm,...)

Sorry for my poor english, I'm trying to do my best
