    idk whats wrong
    my screen has vertical lines all over it now
    first i install bios 211
    then i updated vBios
    and when i rebooted,
    my screen has vertical lines

    im not sure if i can take a screen shot and post, bcuz i dont know if the lines are actually screenshotable.. but ill try

    ok, i found a solution..
    for the last 2 months i;ve had a startup command to automatically put my clocks down to 200/300
    and it turns out that everytime that startup command is called upon rebooting, either vertical lines will appear all over my screen, or computer will completely freeze.

    so i went into safe mode, and turned that startup command off.
    now everything is working fine,

    but with the new vbios update, my clocks are at
    405/1000, with 0.95 V, are they supposed to be like that?
    i want them
    back to 700/1000 at 1.15V
    -------------------------

    the only reason i tried to do this vbios update was
    bcuz my idle temps were 72 degrees at normal clocks...
    and after,nothing has changed

    im at 63 degrees idle at 405/1000 at 0.95V
    :(

    -------------------------

    also, i used to get GSOD's and freezes everytime i played WoW on ultra settings, with
    temperature in the range of 88-102 degrees. I hope this update helped somehow.

    That is the default clocks for 2d applications, when you game, you'll notice it going up to 700/1000.

    Perhaps. You may have to tell them it's running hot and will need to be repasted anyways - you just want to supply your own paste.

    And then you'd better hope they don't just steal your paste and use their crappy in-house stuff.
