ATI 4850/4870 voltmod thread

Only way to know your OC is satble is to run FurMark on Stability Test, full screen, no AA, for 5 minutes.
This soft heats my 4850 almost 10°C more than 3Dmark, and I m on water.

I killed an 8800GT w/ that program. I don't use it anymore.

Best stability test is to play games like you normally do. I use ATI Tool and benchmarks to get a rough idea, and then use actual game play to fine tune.

And some people are just looking to be stable enough to pass benchmarks. No need to run FUR in that case.

When I run FUR I feel like I'm shortening the life of the card. Just my opinion...
