4870 Overclocking Thread

[xMrBunglex]

Which temp in GPU-Z is for the VRM?

Also is 830/1000 an okish overclock?

GPU-Z doesn't display VRM temps yet. Wizzard said the next release will. right now we're all using Everest (latest betas) to read them.

830/1000 seems to be more or less average. it's better than mine will do.

Got everest on.

My Accelero S1, 2 Xilence fans on.

case side on, its about 44 degres idle and about 57-60 load so far. Everest is reporting 50 degrees solid for the VRM idle/

Gonna give furmark a whirl now.

Ok ****, after 220 seconds it hit 101 degrees

Where the VRM is, is it those super small chips then at the side there is these huge ones, they are not covered they dont need to be surely?

If I understand you correctly, yes, those small chips are VRM chips. There are 5 of them total. The VITEC and Pulse chips are related I think but I do not believe that these heat up really. I had sinks on them too, but they never really felt hot to touch. Oh and I'm pretty sure that the longer you run FurMark, the hotter those VRMs would get, especially if you are volt modding.
