let it install by default....

The max I can set down is 648Mhz , can'tgo to 2d mode at all.

goto tools & options -> general options -> advanced tab

set the downclock limit to 100%

When I slide it to 300mhz , it temp is still the same , fan speed is still the same.
I think I understand why.
What about voltage setting ?

u can safely slide the GPU clock bck to, say 300MHz & 500MHz for memory.
for voltage, u can put lowest, i think shud b fine.

in comparison, my 4870 is running @ 100/200 @ 1.1vcore.

fan speed, adjust if u like.....

why don't buy 5series.. much cooler and low power consumption..
3870 is old edy.. IINM i'm using it 3-4years back..

Ok , I try now , just now I tested sliding to 300mhz run the same temp , hoping it can goes down like 5'c to 10'c

It's not that i dont wanted to buy , just that non of the current latest graphic card having a svideo output which I use it to output to my tv.

erm that's correct.. 4 series also ain't bad.. and have s-video..

but live must goes on..
i just switch to hdmi recently..

Okay, since I just replaced my PSU, my graphic card still shows some flickering lines before turning the whole screen to green with banding line across (vertically) the screen before crashing.

What might had caused this?

ur using lcd?

Seems like even I set to almost the lowest the temp is still stay at 60'c , I think I am out of luck .


Anyhow gtg , I think even I flash my bios would be same result , thanks for all the help , seems like this card is use to be this kind temperature .

So ati 4xxx series , which one is better than this card ? what about the temp ?

4770 - no heavy gaming?

Try MSI Afterburner?
It also allow Fan Speed Control and Voltage Tweaks.

Yeah. It only happens in gaming.

u sure not lcd prob?
if from gpu..suspecting ram/core prob..

60c idle is all right, important is how bout load?

different bios has different fan speed setting on different load.
dat depends on manufacturer bios release.

maybe it was meant to idle @ 60c.
dat y even wen u downclock, fan speed auto drop.

Got question here. My fren using XFX 5670 n the temperature in idle is 49C. When he play game, it rises to 52C. Is it normal?

Why're you concerning?
This GPU can hold up to 105C.
Even if it's 70C when gaming, it's also considered as ULTRA SAFE. Needless to say it's 52C?

Thx 4 the feedback. Im still new regarding dis issue. I thought it's nt normal. bcuz my fren cant do gaming due the gpu stops responding and recovered (he encountered VPU error). is the psu nt giving enuf juice? he's using 450w cap ayam btw. so changing to better psu will solve the prob? thx again.

maybe other parts drain alot of power..
to be safe just buy better psu..
