NoMS Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks Beep. A pity that NB voltage won't go above 1.5V on this board so the IGP is limited to < 1000MHz... Need to vmod this thing. Quote
BeepBeep2 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Recap and vmod the board I guess I'm lucky, Giga 890GX board here does 1100/1000 @ 1.48v/1.75v NB/Sideport. The first one I had only did 1030 though. I suggest more cold... Quote
NoMS Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Your Giga is nothing less than amazing!!! I didn't have lucky with those IGP's, my Biostar TA785GE (R.I.P ) does 1080 1.55V on HD4200, not that great... I will change the thermal paste of the NB heatsink, if i'm not mistaken, i never have replaced on this card and it's quite "old" (4 years) so is probably to get moar MHz only doing this Edited July 21, 2012 by NoMS Quote

NoMS Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I'm just afraid to push voltages on the NB...not sure what the safe limit is. I think up to 1.55V on air is quite safe, at least i never managed to kill any motherboard with those chipsets using a voltage like this on NB. (my little Biostar was killed by an "water leakage" during bench) Quote
BeepBeep2 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 Alrightm, they are 55nm and afaik 3870s could take 1.55v so why not Maybe I can do 1150 or so. Quote
