Title: Overclock over 900Mhz
Post by: TKHatch on July 30, 2011, 11:59:38 PM
How do I take my ATI 5870 over 900 with MSI Afterburner.

I see other people on here that have theirs running at over 900 but that is the max MSI Afterburner will allow me to go up to?

If you have not yet edited the cfg file.

Quote

To enable the unofficial overclocking in this version it is necessary to edit the MSIAfterburner.cfg file located in the installation directory of AfterBurner (typically Program Files (x86) MSI Afterburner):


You need to alter the following:

    Seek UnofficialOverclockingEULA field and add following text:
   
Code:
    I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
   
    Set UnofficialOverclockingMode to 1 to keep PowerPlay active (may not work on old ASICs), 2 to traditionally disable PowerPlay or to 0

    to temporary disable unofficial overclocking path

Using the unofficial overclock method opens up more freedom in terms of voltages and clock ranges.

SapphireTrxx http://www.sapphireselectclub.com/ssc/TriXX/TriXX.aspx is a great tool with the current version. i only use MSI afterburner for GPU temps. You dont need Sapphire cards either. any ati card will work.

Use o Sapphire Trixx, but above 900mhz with the original volt (1.088v) in 5850 I had a blue screen, with the temperature at 65c with the fan at 50%.
In this case I had to make overvolt (1.150v).
