Gigabyte HD3870 MOd Unlocked | 900/2100Mhz AiR cooled

[roadie]

Ok I've found a solution for Gigabyte HD3870 512MB DDR3 Qimonda....
Original Ver 70 locked bios 1.22V

at 859/2100Mhz

Used a Sapphire 3850 512MB DDR3 Qimonda Bios
Ver 71 Unlocked Bios 1.22V ( http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/2...12.071108.html )

+ Editor to set 1.22V 2D and 1.32V 3D And now I got 1.38V in Multimeter
@895/2100Mhz

Have you cooled any of the voltage components on the card? I will definitely try this mod when I get an Accelero S1 rev 2 and will make sure to cool everything I can.

Is 900Mhz the upper limit of what you can achieve with the stock cooler? Do you think you could go higher with a better one?

I am going to email Gigabyte to see if they can release an unlocked BIOS for the card so we can OC without voiding the warranty. Hopefully, they will work on it, as they have released an 8800GT with overvolting capabilities etc.
