I can't seem to raise the voltage on my MSI 4830. Did the pencil mod but it seems there is no change in the amount of overclock I can do. :(

It's interesting though. I have to retract the 745/1100 and am starting from scratch. Worked just fine with ATI artifact tester, and ran Vantage no prob, but when I go into Farcry and Furmark, I get lockups. So grrr.... oh well, I'll start over with a little more juice. ;)

Thanks MrK6. So there is only the one point the pencil in?

For those interested, I got a stable 745/1100 on the card with the factory fan and voltage. Any info on the voltage mod would be appreciated. It seems that what I got is pretty consistant with what people are getting out of this nice lil card, correct?

Results via 3DMarkVantage (standard performance settings): Stock GPU/Mem w/E8400 @ 4GHz P 6189 GPU - 5771 CPU - 7910 FPS- 16.61, 17.21 745/1100 w/E8400 @ 4GHz P 7376 GPU 7301 CPU - 7611 FPS - 20.88, 21.92 WOW! I would say that's an overclock! Again, stock cooling and...

Stupid Iphone

Haha yeah I meant 735. Where are most people at without the volt mod? I have the msi that the link goes to. Is the volt mod a pencil mod or hard mod?

Mine's doing it no problem. I was actually wondering if that was low since I read about people hitting 800... I'm actually testing at 745 right now and all is well thus far, and CPU-Z confirms the temps.

Well, it may be Catalyst 9.4. Installed 9.5 Beta and things "seem" to be working. Currently at 935/1000 with a max temp of 62 degrees.

When I try to go in that menu, it says it cannot find english.ini. Also, when I try to overclock in ati tray tools and hit apply, it goes back to my default clock. I have reinstalled ati tray tools with no luck, and am using catalyst 9.4. Even took out CCC in case, and still nothing...

Thank you everyone. I still need to test, but I reinstalled my drivers, and installed ATI Tray Tools. I will see what happens with that. However, where is the "flash OSD"? I didn't see it in any of ATI Tray Tools' options. Thanks again!

OK, I checked it out, and I do have CCC installed. I thought I had the overclocking unchecked, but it was checked for overclocking. Unchecked it, restarted and it rechecks and enables itself. So I take it that CCC is conflicting with RivaTuner? If so, is that CCCs only real feature / quality...

OK, I am getting confused, I think. I have rivatuner to set my speeds on my 4830. Now, It seems like whatever I set it for results in no artifacting or really much change at all (FPS stay pretty consistent). I stress test with furmark and occt gpu. I've used GPU-Z and it confirms the overclock...

Made a new thread re: my issue.

OK, uninstalled drivers and took out the xfi. Then put it in a different pci slot and same error comes up after installing the drivers again. Grrr!!!!
