I freaking love ICD7

thescinema · 10-04-2010, 06:20 PM

OK, after some apparently much-needed 'cure time' with ICD7 and using the auto-tune settings for ATI Overdrive, I've managed to get 865/1215 with my 5870, no glitching or artifacts, and it never breaks 87C in Furmark. (I didn't really want to use Furmark but I couldn't think of a better way to test my paste job besides auto-tune.)

Just thought I'd share.

Booya! And I hate you... :P

Wish I could push past (correction) *740*/1040

and it's the Best Buy version too! (not that it should matter, but still.)

Wow, did you have to raise the voltage for those clocks? I'm just now working on stable OC for my 5870m, and am up to 780/1110.

nope, stock voltage. running chastity's modded vbios, to enable overdrive... and then I just let ATI Overdrive within CCC do its thing.

lol auto tune eh? I've never had good results on any system with that ... interesting. My 780/1110 clocks are maxing at 70c in furmark with stock paste

(no, its not in my freezer lol)

did you mount it inside of a snowman? jeez man that's pretty good with stock paste.

Haha, nope ... testing room is at 73F as well. Trust me, I'm as in disbelief as you are!

Edit: Just happened to think ... what drivers are you using? I'm on custom 10.9a. I read that they're giving lower temps to people, though no idea why.

Great results. I have the Best Buy version too, and I haven't re-pasted yet. My memory won't clock past 1060 without some serious artifacts on the desktop screen. The core hits 800 with ease. When I get enough nerve, I'll re-paste and then make sure the memory heat pads/tape is in place. I have a theory they are not, but on the other hand all cards are not equal, and I just may have a dud for overclocking.
