Radeon 5970 Overclocking: The VRM Temperature Bottleneck

[BababooeyHTJ]

if Furmark is using 100% of the card, then how does OCCT produce temperatures 5-10C hotter than Furmark?

when overclocked the card was throttling down in two cases

I don't see any evidence that this happens at stock speeds. Therefore I don't see a problem. Honestly, who buys a dual gpu card expecting high clocks on the stock cooler?

Which vrms are this card using the insanely hot volterras that are on my 280?

How could anyone ignore your posts in that OCCT thread? It was every other post. You felt that OCCT is a "power virus" did you expect a response every time that you mentioned that. I think Shinti bought up a good point in a surprisingly neutral way about how do we know that this doesn't effect any other apps? I mean why do we need to rename Furmark exe to get it to run properly on the 4xxx series? I'm sure that both companies are guilty of that one.

Once again what does Nvidia have to do with this thread? Do you have any evidence other than the fact that the dude who wrote OCCT was given a Nvidia card that it is a Nvidia sponsored app? I think it more goes to show how hard it is to work with ATI as mentioned by quite a few people with experience doing so in the Batman thread.

What because SkyMTL doesn't b**w ATI as enthusiastically as some people here he is some Nvidia fanboy now?
