Yeah I think he doesn't realize you can mount a closed loop cooler the way it comes. I have an extra bracket from DWOOD that I used to mount an h50 onto my 6870 for a short time. I took them off once I started my new build and am going to be adding to universal block onto my loop. But if you have a closed loop around or can get one cheap that's the way to go if you don't want to spend the cash adding it to a custom loop. The temps drop dramatically. And with DWOODs brackets they are as easy to install as it it to install it to your CPU thumb.gif

Oh my gosh I'm going through the same thing. Sort of. I actually sold my 6850 that had the mod on it. Upgraded to an unlocked 6950 and got a MCW82 block plus D5 pump, Black Ice 240 rad, and micro res.

Replacing the H60 that was on my CPU with a RASA 240 kit.

Thats cool I went with the XSPC Raystorm universal GPU block so it matches my Raystorm CPU block. It was ether the XSPC or the MCW82. I have Swiftech 360 and 120 rads up top and in the front of my switch with a Danger Den RAD-Reservoir and a Jingway Tech DP600P pump which I will be swapping for something alil better when the budget allows thumb.gif

I wanted to get a 6950 or 70 but seeing that my 6870 was pretty new and never gave me any issues. I went with a second one for crossfire it was also alot cheaper. I must say I love my crossfired 6870 set-up. I haven't found a game it can't handle. I was going to upgrade to a 7000 series but I decided to wait till the 8000 hit. thumb.gif

I work in replacing various parts, and what you're describing has happened for a variety of video card errors, issues. Reinstalling drivers failed to fix, and I feel your pain.
If you have a SPARE 100gb - 1tb hdd, an entirely separate drive... simple idea... Instead of formatting and redoing windows... Just unplug ALL your drives... and plug in new drive, reinstall brand spanking new, and try again. This is technically an easier way to eliminate your OS as the problem, or finding that it IS. A hint more work in the end maybe, but preventative at the least.

Well, I have an update here.

I did a fresh installation of Win7 32bit and the outcome is exactly the same like before using AMD Catalyst 12.6 .
Furthermore, I scanned with CCleaner and these registry values I mentioned re-appeared as well.

I 've also tried to see what's happening using my 2nd older pc which also runs Win7 32bit and has an old Nvidia 6800 installed (AGP rulez, lol).
Those issues, I 've described in category 1, do also appear with this Nvidia card except 1.4.1 using the same Windows configuration (profile themes etc) !

So, I guess it's a software/driver issue, after all, which is related to desktop graphics of Windows and the drivers of both graphics companies.
I think I have overdone it and paid too much attention in detail-level after my new 6850 purchase, so that I 've noticed all these stuff I hadn't done before with my previous graphics cards.

As for slight blurring, I think I over-rated that as well.
Actually, it's happening just for a moment after expanding tabs in CCC or after loading webpages.
Page-scrolling is about the same using both PCs, too.

Anyway, here's the screens with the fresh installation:

So, after all this procedure, a little rest could help!
Cheers. wink.gif

Hello All

I have a XFX HD 6870 Dual fan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150521that I want to overclock but have a couple of qustions about adjusting voltage.I seem to find conflicting info on the web. Some say it cant be done and others say it can be done on this card.

I tried using afterburner 2.2.3 and checking the boxes for changing voltage in settings and doing the regedit trick adding in the disclaimer and changing setting to allow voltage adjustments but still cannot change voltage. I also tried trixx but that doesnt change voltage either.

Im running the latest driver and ccc.

I can get the gpu up to 930 stable in furmark and other tests benchmarks but as soon as I play Battlefield 3 it dumps the driver and recovers. Could that be the voltage issue or is that a known driver issue?

Thanks for the help.

Voltage issue sadly.

Did you copy/paste the disclaimer? You've restarted AB? Double check the config file.

I can tell you for sure you will not have software voltage control with this board (if it is a HD-687A-ZDFC) couse it uses a different vrm solution and a cheaper pwm that lacks of the I2C interface:



My advice is to get another 6870 and run a crossfire
You won't ever have to get over 930Mhz with two HD6870, they simply work fine at this clock (and it is mine too) wink.gif
