top 7950 bio's or does it matter?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
hey guys,

recently i bought a new cooler for my 7950, i have two running crossfirex @1100/1500 i could probably push the ram lot further, however i noticed that i can't seem to get my cards to go much faster... im at 1.168.v on the chips at 1100.. but increasing my voltage does not seem to help me get much head room. i was wondering if flashing my bios would help me out? i'am currently running gigabyte windforce 3 new bios on both cards, the other card is a power color 7950.

the temps stay around 50c or 60c isfone is really pushed for long time. any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would help push your volts higher so you can overclock more, but flashing a card with a none intended bios puts the card at risk. If it does everything you want, I'd hold off for the day it does not, or better yet sell it and put the money towards a new card.
