4870 Overclocking Thread

[dnottis]

A lot of those are from bad bios flashes.. by the users. You yourself flashed a non-reference bios on your card and now you're blaming ATI? O_o

Actually I flashed an ASUS HD4870 with the ASUS HD4870 TOP bios - same card, same BIOS just different speeds and mine was water cooled the entire time. So don't go giving me this non reference bs. They are the same card, except mine was cooled better for it's entire life span.

I'm blaming ATI for the cards randomly dying, the fact that I flashed it with a legit ASUS bios with faster stock speeds has nothing to do with it - that was weeks ago that I flashed it, wasn't even recent. I didn't rip it myself and hose it like the others did with the small size. The HIS HD4870 I had never ran furmark more than 30 seconds without crashing. It was never overclocked, never flashed and it also died. So explain that then?

BTW the GTX 260 is working wonderfully. I actually prefer ATI cards, I have an X850 XT PE and HD3870 in my other machines. I loved the HD4870 they were great cards until they died.
