care to share numbers? More heat is better for the upcoming winter  Cheesy, but afterwards such info could be useful.

What numbers ? lol

-_-

like Memfreq before and after and heat before and after + Megahashes before and after! I certainly didn't mean how many ripe apples on a plastic tangerine tree on mars  Cheesy

LOL.. but I like farming on Mars. xD

I did the best I could with my temp guesstimates and tbh, I didn't notice if the mhash/s were affected. If it did, the +/- would have been minimal. I've gone as low as 600mhz on the memory but keep it at 750 because anything lower makes the system a little unstable when watching vids/ surfing the web.

As I said in that thread, the gpu and vrm temps dropped a minimum of 5-7C. The mobo/chipset is also down 3-5C.

I'm using Guiminer with the following flags.. -v -w128 -f70


That whole thread is full of fail. They can't fathom GPGPU computing at all. OP is the only one with a coherent statement. It's likely a bunch of 14 year old Call Of Duty zitfaces. They would be completely [headexploded] by the thought of underclocking and undervolting a card to maximize it's energy efficiency per work, and aren't going to understand W ∝ V^2.

MSI: "tech support is a cost center, we'll just let dumbasses talk to each other in a forum so they don't call us".

The answer is no, you aren't going to damage your card, in fact you may extend it's life by reducing electromigration. There will just be underclocks and undervoltages where the card is no longer stable.

I called tech support to complain and they didn't seem to care. At the start of the conversation I was told that the forum is run by some dudes at HQ and that the forum is 'unofficial'. Huh

oh fine.. No TV.. fine ... I'll download all my shows off of usenet.
If your 'model' includes repeating the past's mistakes, then yes, force and hostility are quite effective at that.



Well I think our current government is a joke yes.... any other government we'll end up with, will be the same as the previous........ Any government will continue to do what the large corporations want them to do.


Ever watch the show Continuum? a lot of truth in that nifty Sci-fi show. Smiley



Can you tell I can't seem to figure out this multi quote system ? lol

The constant here is, the top down mentality. We need to stop voting, paying our taxes.. just boycott them all.

Plz say NO to tv. xD

Your flag is upside down.

MSI has great customer service in Canada... turn around time on motherboard replacement is like 3 days...


My flag is upside down because I am not proud of my country.

How many will your country enslave, occupy and bomb today ?

We're a nation of drunken wannabe porn star prescription junkies.


We are? hmmm Not sure what Canada you live in....... I guess I live in my own little world....
bitcoin is a scam dude...didn't you know?

Yes to all

Technology and Women. Amazing.
One hears all this bla bla about how the internet is so "democratic".  It is bullshit.  It is lord of the flies out here.

Thats the 3rd time that has happened to me in 2.5 years. Amd game > Sapphire > Msi forums... The Sapphire mod was a real nut.

"flobelix" is an idiotic feeble minded twat. Underclocking video memory most certainly does lower overall card temperatures. You should seek out the global moderator of that forum, and have his moderator status revoked for not knowing what the fuck he's talking about.

Hi kwoody.

Thanks for the response and plz mind your language the next time. Lets keep this civil. :p

pEACe

There is nothing civil about discrediting misinformation. History has shown force and hostility are the only effective methods. Enjoy living under your rock, though.

Nooooooo !! xD

Plz don't say that. I just made my first whole bitcoin. ahahah


"There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind..."

I made that noooberous quote up on the spot. Do you think that did it ?  Roll Eyes


Wow, that forum sucks. So much fail

Lolwut? You post some screenshots and explain things and the reply is this??

And what they say is false, reducing memory clock here lower my GPU temperature a lot->i can overclock it more or keep the same overclock with a lower temperature.

I am as dumbfounded as you are. They never looked it up and even tried to misrepresent what I had said and what the screenies were showing.

Unless MSI and/or it's forum apologizes for allowing that kind of behaviour, I will not be posting again there any time soon.

Or... a second or third R7870 will help to ease my pain. :p

Please know that I am not here to bash MSI or its products. The R7870 TFIII is a powerhouse and judging by the STUPIDLY low temps, this MSI gpu is STUPIDLY efficient. So far, I've had it as high as 1230mhz on the core, 440 mhash/s, stock 1.218v. and +5% Power limit. wooot wooot !
