Title: What all can I do to speed up my 5830?
Post by: epic93 on May 07, 2012, 12:42:28 AM
I have a Radeon HD 5830. An okay card to start out with.

Two questions:

1. How do I cool this thing as much as possible? I mean, *every* setting I can change to make it cooler

2. How can I get my MH/s as high as possible? Once again, I am open to *any* suggestion, including voltage changes.

I hear you can flash the bios with 5850 bios and get those things up to like 350 mhash but I too am a newb.  Do not know how to do that.

Easy solutions:
Cooling: BIG BIG fan! :P
Speed: Overclocking, google is your friend for advice ;)

Do you use BAMT? If so, check out the overclocking options on BAMT's GitHub wiki.

lower voltage helps a ton with cooling
