P177SM + AMD 8970m Overclocking?

Ah I have heard of the max mem freq going down with core speed.

 

can anyone upload the editor to somewhere else? I cant download.

 

5 posts or a donation and you should be able to. Sharing software from that site elsewhere would be at the very least unethical.

 

just tried atiflash cannot read 7970m rom on p170em

 

Try atiwinflash, and do it when the radeon will be "working" not @ sleeping state.

 

Download ATIWinFlash, start a program that uses the 7970, open ATIWinFlash.exe

 

Yeah they have not updated the dos version for enduro cards yet.

 

ATIWinFlash can read and save the vbios first? it's not for flashing only?

 

Yes, though there is a button if you download and open it. I believe there are also links on the internet too to download the vbios.

 

fail

 

Ok. I used ATIWinflash to downloand my GPU bios.
I have VBE7.0.0b <- when i load the BIOS it reads all the values properly.

Now, can I change ram speed in there? Or will it brick my GPU? In MSI Afterburner when i change the ram speed it freezes. Don't know if changing it in BIOS will result in same.

My card runs now at 1.05V (that was the default voltage), i am planning to overvolt it to 1.075 and change the max power tune tdp to 100W (it is now 81W). Hope I will be able to hit stable 1050 - 1100 mhz with GPU and maybe slightly oc the ram to lets say 1300 - 1400 mhz. On stock I do about 1020 Mhz GPU, the ram of course is 1250 mhz.

 

be careful with TDP limit

 

I think you're playing with fire there.

Where's the fail? You're almost there! Simply click "save" to save the ROM

 

Why is that?
Here they say 1.075V +50% TDP boost is safe for 24/7 if u can keep the temperatures in safe zones :
[TUTORIAL] Change AMD 8970M voltage

I am planning to overvolt to 1.075V and oc the core with MSI Afterburner, then when im happy with the result im gona edit the bios to start with that clocks - don't like software changes, like them to be pernament in BIOS. I am just wondering if I can change the ram speed in BIOS - in MSI After burner they are locked - if u change them even 1 Mhz the system freezes - is is probably a bios safety measure BUT im wondering if u save the values to BIOS of GPU will it start normallly with higher speeds.

Now I can run the GPU at 1025Mhz without issue, at 1050 it freezes. My load temperature in Clevo P170SM never goes above 80 even after OC, and the fans never did run at 100%, even in FurMark - so as long im on the safe side with temperatures, small overvolt should be ok. But as i said, I want to know if I can OC the ram - don't want to brick the card doing that. AND if i can't I will probably leave the GPU at 1025Mhz because the ram will be too slow to feed the GPU - no point in OCing the GPU more if the ram can't keep up...


-----------------
I see in your sig that you have a 950Mhz/1300Mhz 8970, how did you OC the ram?


---------------------------------------
Ok I did play a bit with MSI afterburner and TRIXX - TRIXX lets you adjust voltage and it seems to work - voltage changes in GPU-Z. But there is TDP Throttoling - I can OC to 1050 while I am at 1.06V (vs stock 1.05) but then, the card jumps between 850 - 1050 and the in case of 3DMark11 score goes down. On stock I get about P7300 (combined), @ 1000Mhz I get about 7700 and @ 1050 7200-7300. And it is not a case of cooling - even with Fn+1 I get the throttoling - temps don't go over 80C and with Fn+1 they drop to about 70 - 73.

So for me, for now core stays at 1000Mhz, maybe if they find a way to OC the ram without BIOS mod, I will do that, for now I want my warranty.

 

thank you very much Slovedon. now my new rom is 1035/1560
and i also unlock the max limit and looking at how high i can oc the mem. and so far the mem can run at 1634!?


edit: ok it hangs at 1639 so just leave it at 1634 and test crysis3 now

 

How did you unlock the ram?
--------
Ah, ok it is a 7970...


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

So, any one any luck in ocing ram on 8970m?

 

hi guys
after a long time again a little post
i think now someone found a good possibility to overclock the gpu and memory clock 8970m.
if I have understood correctly then you have to read your bios with gpu z and then download a specific bios and change values ​​with the data you read before.
what do you think about this?
check urself and sorry for my bad english

Did check the website, but it is in german any one can read and translate a bit?
