maybe later will start to do OCing a bit..
but not used to OCing GC..even this is my 1st time with ATI..
any tips or software?

any software to record the temp history?

usually when i buy new item..my old 1 i will throw in into my 2nd or 3rd rig..the leftover from 3rd rig will be gift for people close to me..

Added on October 14, 2008, 4:10 pmi shall show u how i setup my WC tonite and how hard i modified till the warranty gone..
before this my GS stock heatsink also i have mod..i take it out an lapped it a bit..and reapply TIM..using tuniq tx2..manage to drop the temp about 1-3c..

will try my GS stock heatsink on other GC..try to mod it with 2 80mm fan..see how the temp.i shall see GS stock heatsink vs Zalman fatal1ty (i have both 2 model)

mine idle before was worst than that...60-63 idle..load 80-90..also raise the temp inside my casing..spend RM250++ to improve casing airflow..

yup..tell u..with reference heatsink card the temp can reach 110++
HD4870 is a hot card..it's hot really hot..i mean hot..hot buy and temp..

mine also auto..never get below 55..usual 60..

my HD4870 auto speed at 50%..

got some question..
how to enable ATI overdrive?

managed to OC using Overdrive..to max setting(790-1100)..idle temp 45..load 53..

not that high maintenance..if u do installed it correctly and firm..u will avoid the maintenance regularity
electricity..not that high la..just add RM10-Rm5 more to electric bill..what important is to get the correct PSU wattage..also my mobo is a good power saving mobo..the asus six-engine power management really save my electricity..

i have to resort to water cooling since my room is not an air conditioned room..at noon it will be quite hot(temp inside room without comp turn on 32c..with comp turn on from morning can reach 35c..
air cooling cannot satisfy me since i do oc my proc and the temp of my mobo also effected(mobo with insane temp,daytime can reach 48c)

dunno..nvr have the chance..but on Golden Sample(GS) i think better than normal..personal opinion..in turbo bios mode(GS card have 2 bios)..the card can OC higher than reference card..

tq..u also win before this rite bro..well..i'm here wanna share exp with other Gainward users..especially people who use GS version..

i cannot go CF..using P45 based mobo..

yup..almost the same..at idle...my mobo will lower the vcore to 1.04..and the speed and be down to 800mhz..running 141x6(like now)..the proc and mobo temp will fall quite alot..no stability prob at all...
and my gc core clock will stepdown to 500mhz at idle with 1000mhz ram clock..

nope..that the 3rd phase which i will use for office work like word processing,surfing,lite gaming,watching movies and listen to mp3 and video clips..
3rd phase i setting it for continuous run without jumping to 1st phase..
2nd phase will jump to 1st phase if let idle for 30 minutes..Vcore on 2nd phase can drop to 0.9xx..and speed can drop down to 400mhz++..some of the fan will drop lo slowest speed and some of it will turn off..my 240mm radiator will run on 1x120mm fan at medium speed..

1st phase i use if i wanna let my pc running torrent when i go outstation for 2 or 3 days..it will turn of the display..load running file on ram.and lesser hdd access..turn off some of the fan..but still background application still running..running with slowest speed possible and lowest power consumption..

Added on October 15, 2008, 11:40 amu can try a bit by bit..last OC result by me was using turbo bios at max clock provided by overdrive..fro me..i think it is better to oc in turbo bios mode..but running with ram heatsink by zalman with 3M thermal tape and a 60mm fan..gpu cooled by WC..i dont dare do it by air cooling coz the idle temp is already insane for me..i notice when oc the GC..ram will be the 1st who failed me..

even with current setup i cannot go more than 1150Mhz..without heatsink i think u can try for 1050 1st..do watch the GPU temp when oc the core clock..
my past experience with hardware troubleshooting managed to make me realize which 1 reach it limits 1st..later i post my HD4870 OC result..
i think maybe i have to WC my ramsink also..
