7870 Hawk + Overclocking = FAIL?

[Marcusgamer]

Hello everyone

I'm new on HWBOT Forum, and I have a small question:

I have a 7870 HAWK, and would make a overclock it!

In the midst of so many topics found this:

http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45721

 

"GOD" Massman wrote much about the VGA, and hit 1400MHz on Core with approximately 1.4 V.

 

However, I can not define more than 1.35 V in MSI Afterburner, even using LN2 BIOS.

 

How do I do?

Note: The BIOS Massman used an OCP for HAWK:

However, the BIOS is not the format. ROM, so I can not perform the BIOS FLASH!

How do I use a BIOS. Sb?

 

Thankful.

 

Sorry for bad english, I'm from Brazil!

To go over the 1.35V voltage limit, you need to use the Afterburner Extreme.

 

As for the bios, just renaming .sb into .rom should work.

Just rename it .rom and flash it. Also you need to contact MSI for Xtreme afterburner. I definitely need it because im at my vcore wall
