Well I finally decided to overclock my HIS vanilla 6870. It's about as reference design as you can get so I wasn't expecting anything special, although it is under water and runs VERY cold With stock clocks and voltage (900 core, 1050 mem, 1.175v) it idles around 35C and 15min in Furmark barely gets it 43C so I figure I have a lot of headroom.
The one thing I am having a lot of trouble with is finding a good overclocking utility that doesn't have a 1Ghz core clock cap. MSI Kombuster and Catalyst only allow up to 1Ghz core and thats no fun.
I saw a lot of people struggling to reach 1Ghz so I gave it a try and the little beast took it just fine and at stock voltages too I haven't bothered pushing the mem until I max out the core. Anyone have a download for Sapphire TriXX utility? The site is currently down...
