ObscureParadox Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, was just wondering what software if any would allow my reference 4890 to overvolt past 1.35v, I seem to remember being able to set past 1.4v in the day but can't seem to remember what to use, afterburner is only letting me set 1.35v currently Thanks for your time. EDIT : Forgot about GPU tool, that of course works a treat for anyone who is interested. Edited January 10, 2015 by ObscureParadox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObscureParadox Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sounds good,time for 3dmark 2001 challenge with 4890. Anyone in ? Well I had so many issues with my set up today and then just ran out of dice. Something went massively wrong too because I lost all efficiency with all benchmarks too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Prep yor card for some fine low clock tunning. I'm gonna make the challenge soon. @Basco - as always ,you're invited,that card of your's should be a monster in oc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 ok cool I'll get it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolp1974 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Has anyone flashed a non reference xfx 4890 with another bios?? Namely the BE bios. Trust me to get one without the voltar controller, how do i find the datasheet for the controller as i may be able to pencil mod it. If i flash and brick it do i just put another card in another slot so i can flash the bricked one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same one as I had quite a while ago then it's fairly simple to mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolp1974 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 cheers bud, PM sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If the flash goes wrong, you can always flash it back through DOS or even via Windows if you put another card in to boot with and use the bricked one as a secondary. My 5850s didn't always flash properly and for some reason thought they had 3400 MHz VRAM. Simple enough to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah just putting another card in and using the ATI flash tool would probably be the easiest way to go about it. You shouldn't need to flash the bios for that card though I don't think, but if you have any issues I did mention it in the PM what might be the best way to go about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolp1974 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Have been reading regards flashing with the BE bios and i'm yet to find one that worked, mainly due to the 6+8 pin config i believe. Looking like a hard mod is the way to go, but is it worth it with the analogue caps???? i'm i better off grabbing another model?? for what they cost and maybe less hassle in the long run??

ObscureParadox Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 I don't know if digital is the way to go with the 4890 or not honestly. I've got a few digital and analogue ones here and I'm going to test them both against each other when I get the chance next. For water though you might be better getting a reference card. Since you won't really need to do any mods for that, although I would keep hold of the card if anything just for practicing volt mods on since you don't really want to start doing it on a golden card first.

suzuki Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I will buy any xfx black edition )). Don't kill it,send it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 There was nothing special about black editions from what I remember. They were over-volted at stovk weren't they? Like 1.45v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolp1974 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 ^from what i read yes, thats why i was going to flash bios, mine will do 970 at stock and no idea how good that is, under water and 1.31v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 ^from what i read yes, thats why i was going to flash bios, mine will do 970 at stock and no idea how good that is, under water and 1.31v Well I tested 3 this weekend on air and used 1.3v for all 3. Card 1 Sapphire Custom : 1000/1200 vantage stable Card 2 XFX Reference : 970/1200 vantage stable Card 3 XFX Reference : 930/1175 Vantage stable So your card seems to fit right in the middle if anything slightly worse than my card 2 if you're on water. But you sure your card is running at that voltage? Mine was at 1.27v roughly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolp1974 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not taken a mm reading, not sure where too?? Like i said new to all this really. That reading is from bios and what gpuz confirms, max temp running vantage is 34c at that clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObscureParadox Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Nice score bud!! I seem to have lost my sub zero vantage score somewhere, ran one with the core at 1130MHz and it's just vanished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
