    I'm attempting to keep the temperature on my 6990M below 90C under load. So far after multiple repaste I have failed so I tried to undervolt the video card via the vbios. I used the Radeon Bios Editor to change the 3D performance voltage from 1.1V to 1.0V. However, this does nothing because when I monitor the voltage values it still goes to 1.1V. In fact, I've gotten strange freezes and driver crashes when I didn't use to have them. Did I do something wrong?
