Hi all. First I'd like to say thanks for the info. I've lurked around here and the stuff helped me with my OC.
But I have a question.
How much stick can the voltage regulators on a HD4870 cop?
I put on a Zalman VF-1000 and have been trying to cool the voltage regulators. First I started with some chopped up copper RAM sinks, but they fell off (which is where I picked up this electrical buzz in ATI tool). Then I hacked a bit off the stock cooler, glued a lot of copper RAM sinks to it and replaced the thermal pad. I sanded off the paint and cleaned up the area when I stuck something on.
GPU-Z is reporting ~110C under load.
I've had a quick look around but can't really seem to find any info about limits and good cooling solutions. I don't want an OC to end in a puff of smoke and a light show.
