BIOS modding for GPU OC fun and profit!!

[seeker_moc]

thanks for the info seeker, i think i'll stay with the present 800/1050 clocks and one more thing that bothers me is the idle temp. Its always above 52C. So cleaning the dust filter could fix it?? and btw my 3dmark 06 went up to 8996!!

Yeah, even with the OC, I idle around 48C +/- 1 GPU. Cleaning out the fan and/or removing the filter should drop your temps by a few degrees.

You are lucky to get it that high! 1000mhz for me artifacts like crazy (software OC) anyways. Perhaps though a bios OC then software OC on top will be more stable...

I also have ATIwinflash. Do you recommend me to use that or to do it the hard way at startup?

If winflash works, then go with that. The DOS flash programs are slightly safer and work with more cards, but winflash works just fine for most people.

Lol I just tried to flash 750/950 and lets just say it was an absolute failure. After restarting the screen wouldn't boot into windows although the computer did the screen remained stuck at the windows picture displayed during boot. I thought perhaps a fresh install of windows with a fresh driver install would remedy this rather than flashing back with atiflash and hey no luck. Now flashed it back and am back into a freshly installed windows so now I have to re-install everything...

Honestly I wander why I love to mess about when it wastes so much of my time..! The lesson learned is never touch your boot up clocks methinks as it messes things up royally.

i tried with gpu clock tool and i found it stable with 850/1100 also!! and the temps were just above 80...!!!

Hey Seeker,
Could you create the following?

1645 A12 with A09 vBIOS for 4670

with 800 GPU and 1000 Memory (I tried the A12 800/900 for 4670 you created and it worked great, thanks)

And is this permanent (ie, if I upgrade my BIOS, the OC will remain) unless I use another modified BIOS? I have a 90W adapter and Dell is sending me a 130W. One call and done (on Saturday and it will be here on Monday). The tech wanted to discuss the situation and I told her the system is throttling so please set up the exchange and then we could discuss further and that worked. Thanks again!!!!

what program do you use to overclock? I want to try before I flash the next OC since its an A12 and i want to avoid downgrading.
EDIT: Nevermind found it

Dell sucks. Waited around all day for the package and received another 90W and in fact, the tech says the other tech requested a 90W instead of the 130W even though her notes said I was requesting 130W and the 130W adapter was approved by the supervisor. Talking to Dell tech right now and he says they will send a 130W. Hopefully. What a joke.

Here you go. (link expired)

If you flash a new stock BIOS, it will erase your OC. I would have to mod the new version for you.

hey seeker the oc is sucking the juice out of my battery.. can u make a mod which maintains the battery clock at default where as the ac power clocks to 800(or 825 was also stable to me and just 1C more)/1050(1100 also very stable for my rig using amd clock tool).
regards.
