asus G73JH Can't do some things

Hello! I've got some problems - the first is that my fancy start utility doesn't work (anything i do in this programm - nothing happens with loadscreen), the second is when i'm trying to change bios in latest RBE only thing that can be changed is clocks, changing voltage doesn't work at all (AMD GPU clock doesn't show any changes in high side (clocks after 700:1000 and voltages at all)) Real temp gt doesn't show differences at all. Maybe there is a way to check videocard's parameters properly, and to make higher voltages in vbios?

 

Maybe someone has a vbios with higher voltage set?

 

You're gunna brick your machine if you keep screwing around with it like that.

 

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by messing the voltages and such?
Maybe there are other ways to do whatever your are trying to do...

About fancy start, I did mess with it the first days I had my laptop, It worked fine, but after all its just bloatware, so I got rid of it.





I was so much hoping this was one of those threads "Why my laptop can walk by itself" sort of thing.

 

the max gpu temp I've managed to rich is 91 degrees, as i know 100 degrees is the normal high temperature, so i'm thinking about making higher voltages to rich higher than 800/1200, as i know 5870m has the same chip as hd5770 so i thought nothing exept voltage of 1.15(instead of 1.2) can prevent me from overcloking it to normal hd5770 (850/1200) or maybe higher (frankly speaking i don't care about spoiling machine, because for 3 years of OCing i spoiled nothing exept dropped out of the table hdd) but there is one problem - seems to me that the only way to get voltage of 1.2 is to do something with power chain on the board and i don't want to do this, i hoped i will get it with bios editing only, so there is somebody who managed to get higher than 1.15V with bios editing?

 

In some ways I hope you brick your machine so others will learn to accept that the HD5870M isn't a desktop GPU that you can constantly OC and just accept the performance of the HD5870M. If you want something better, don't be dumb and buy yourself a desktop with a desktop GPU.

 

That post just made my day. I understand the need to overclock, but really, in a laptop? This thing already runs most everything.

 

Well, here's the bad news: the 5870M voltages Asus made are hardware locked and require hard modding to open, so 1.15V is the highest setting.
