July 21, 201213 yr 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.
July 21, 201213 yr Author 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...
July 21, 201213 yr 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, 201213 yr by NoMS

July 22, 201213 yr 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)
July 22, 201213 yr Author Alrightm, they are 55nm and afaik 3870s could take 1.55v so why not Maybe I can do 1150 or so.
