MSI Afterburner
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

I use this tool to overclock my 5870 to 945 mhz and underclock the memory to 300... that gives me 410 to 420 Mhash/s
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1128/AMD_GPU_Clock_Tool_v0.9.8.html

I'm going to try out water cooling on one of my machines, and see how many more hashes I can squeeze out. Anyone know where I can get a decent guide on this, and water cooling for a 5870 ? ... I should probably put this query in another thread... hmm

Seriously not worth it to do watercooling. You are looking at adding $100 for each video card you put a waterblock on. And if you do it wrong, you lose everything in your PC case.

Definitely MSI Afterburner. I've used Rivatuner before and I think Afterburner is better.


Afterburner would only work for overclocking for me. Setting the memory underclocked had no real effect on it. Using rivatuner on the memory worked tho.

Altho lowering the memory to 600mhz only lowered the temp 2 degrees and 2mh/s faster.

MSI Afterburner is best one I found, Or Rivatuner.
Look up on google how to use unofficaloverclock when using afterburner so you can get past the artificial limit.
