Default Volts down overclock up 4850?

Ok, right now my 4850 is at 1.33v on load, but the temperatures are pretty much outrageous at anything above 750 mhz. I know that people have achieved higher clocks than that at lower voltages, and i'm thinking that if I drop the voltage, i'll be able to overclock more because the temperatures will be lower. Is this logic correct?

Well, all that I know is that a higher voltage provides a more stable overclock. I read a great guide to cpu voltage that should apply to gpu's also, I'll post it when I find it.

100c, but that's not on the gpu-z temp #1, it's on temp #2, and temp 3 gets up in the 80s.

By the way, before you tell me that #2 is vrm's and #3 is memory, they are not. They are memory io and shader core.

Yep, but now one of the screws is broken, so I can't seat it totally perfectly. I used a hacksaw to make a workaround so that it's fairly snug, but i'm going to need to buy some new screws from someone.

hmm perhaps that's what's wrong with it....

maybe more thermal paste to seal the gap would help, that or insulate and heat up your temps further.
