Need OC'ing utility that bypasses ATI CCC

[RaistlinZ]

Can anyone help by chance? I installed MSI Afterburner to overclock my 5870 but it won't go past the limits imposed by ATI CCC.

And if you should get rid of the CCC?

I think I can go all the way to 1200 now... I need more voltage.

I remember this being a tricky one, and some cards did/some didn't.

I know XFX do (since my 5850 is XFX), but can't remember what other cards did not have a lock at the CCC limit (and I think that is in the BIOS).

Here's some older stuff on it I could find:

my reference XFX 5870's are bios locked to 900mhz. nothing short of a flash will solve that

Oops, my apologies, maybe it's just because my 5850 is a Black Edition?

easy to bypass. Afterburner with unofficial overclocking method enabled, rivatuner, amdgpuclocktool will allow you to change core mhz into the 1200mhz range. (unlock overdrive lock icon in ccc) Whether it's stable or not beyond 900mhz depends on voltage and if your voltage circuitry is adjustable via software.



although a bios flash would be the proper way to do it, imo ;p

+1

Not sure if the fan bug is still active with the bios mod way tho....Being on water it didn't effect me anyways. The flash goes so quick the odds of failing are slim if done with a bootable flash drive

use ATI Tray Tools, works for me, don't bother installing CCC, just install driver only. excellent utility, lots of options.
