4870 Overclocking Thread

[dejanh]

Not to be a jackass, but who is running their ram at 4800MHz?

(1) Is is stable in FurMark?
(2) Is it artifact free in ATITool?
(3) Can it run lengthly 3DMark06 Batch Tests?

That person needs to step up and tell us all what they are doing exactly...

Oh and for those that want a bit of interesting reading re VRMs and temps, look here...

@affiliate13 - I am most curious at your results now, because the approach you took leveling the HR-09 Type 2 seems to really do a good job cooling the VRMs. Like I said before, I tried the HR-09 Type 2 couple of weeks ago with mixed results, but I did not have the ability to make it have level full-contact to VRMs (it was slanted, like yours initially ). I really want to see your final setup. Can you post detailed pics please?

Thanks

is that based on anything other than speculation?

Well, it is not quite speculation Wizz. The ram is rated at max critical 2.00V with 4GHz max speed rating. You do not think that more than 10% is a big OC? I think that with good cooling you should be okay to run about 1100/1125, but anything over that you are probably slowly but surely killing your ram.
