What the frak?
You're suppposed to flash your GPU bios, not the one on your mobo...
Try the search button, this subject was discussed many a time.
Also, while I hate to discourage you, your having made this mistake tells me you should probably not flash anything until you have done your research.
RTFM first, understand it, then flash. You're risking your hardware otherwise.
I flashed my BIOS 3 months back because my processor didn't work. I'm sorry if that's not what he meant, and I'm not going to flash my GPUs BIOS anyways.You're suppposed to flash your GPU bios, not the one on your mobo...

Edit: Wording
Mining doesn't need a fast memory clock. I run 5970s at 150 Mhz. The ban news is without a bios flash (risky) 6000 series only allow mem clock that is 150 Mhz lower than core. So if you are running 900 Mhz core you can try 750 Mhz memclock. Remember if you later raise the core clock you need to raise the memclock. Nothing "bad" will happen if you try to set it too low. The card will simply ignore the request and run it at stock.
Looks like the 7000 series don't have this "glitch". Only the 6000 series does.
I have flashed my bios to the latest stable version already for my Phenom II X6 processor.Looks like the 7000 series don't have this "glitch". Only the 6000 series does.
Does this mean I can go lower than 150MHz lower?
I've got a Radeon HD6870 (Powercolor) and It's only been running for about two weeks, I haven't noticed anything wrong with it at all, but it does get a bit hot for my liking, GPU-Z reports:
Temp 1: 68.5C
Temp 2: 79.5C
Temp 3: 77.0C
Voltage: 1.17V
Is this normal? No overclocking, I just want to know if anything will happen due to these temperatures, as I am an avid gamer on this PC.
GPU Core lock is at 900MHz and the Memory clock is at 1050mhz, getting 250-270MH/s
Temp 1: 68.5C
Temp 2: 79.5C
Temp 3: 77.0C
Voltage: 1.17V

Underclock your memory, as much as you can. If wont hurt performance (on the contrary actually) and it will lower temps a little bit. Even so those temps are uncomfortably high IMO. Try to improve air flow in your case or speed up your fan. If your card supports it, you can also try reducing voltage.
Also, improving airflow is out of my range since I've only got one card and I've got a couple 1300RPM fans pointed right at it, 95 CFM each, they move a lot of air.
My fan has been spinning at 100%. Powercolor is very bad at cooling. I would buy a new heatsink for it, but it voids the warranty, and this card may be one of the defective ones they sent out this past couple months.
Edit: I downclocked the memory to 900Mhz and noticed a significant temperature drop. GPU-Z reports:
Temp 1: 61C
Temp 2: 71C
Temp 3: 68C
How much lower can I go without anything bad happening?

A bit hello to everyone here, and to the poster above, yep cheese is good.. it really is all about the cheese.
bye and thanks for the fish

Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Yes. +1 respect
Well, Alex from a Clockwork Orange.. Address in sig..
So close, but yet so far...
As an experiment, I will send .01 BTC to the first person to quote one of my favourite lines from this character.... (I have lots).
I want a quote from Alex DeLarge!
Oh hell, a tip's on your way anyway, but whoever gives me a quote from him will get another!
Sorry, I misread, thanks anyways, much appreciation. I can't quote him *correctly* without looking it up so I'm screwed there (That's cheating =P)
Erm... um... i don't know what to... oh hell.

"It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van."

Bethoven??? LOL
Well, that's who he's talking about... but I'm looking for one of my favourite quotes from the movie that line is from.
Here's another.... "One thing I could never stand was to see a filthy, dirty old drunkie, howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going, "blurp blurp" in between, as it might be a filthy old orchestra in his stinking, rotten guts. I could never stand to see anyone like that, whatever his age might be, but more especially when he was real old like this one was."
Is it possible to take your coins away if you have not heard of this masterpiece? (I jest, I jest!)

So does anyone know anything about eligius? I just had a bad experience with them. I had to turn off my miner for a couple of hours and my unpaid reward completely vanished. There isn't an unconfirmed amount in my wallet, and no transactions took place. This pisses me off man, as I was impressed with the amount of btc I was getting but now it's all gone..
I am your father. But no really, I'm just in this for the fun of it, I have a semi-decent system so I figured why not, and it's all interesting to me, and I'd love to learn more and hopefully be able to get better in the future. Mainly just looking for tips on maximum efficiency on my card.
