Finally got it to clock with stock air heat sink (I guess the card knows it's going to rma this week):

Nothing worked on this card... New bios, new AB etc the voltages stay at stock no matter what.

Was only a little bit for PCM5 1000/1300 15oC...

This card sucks on '3D - Pixel Shader' and 'Graphics Memory - 64 Lines' for some unknown reason, so I lost my Gold Global for little.

Ok these things are back on the market officially, now the question is who's gonna pop $500 again to find out if MSI fixed them or only flashed their BIOS?!

The BIOS flash will not work on most of the faulty cards (volts would not scale). I wish MSI would release an official statement like Toyota...

I hear ya jor ...

but their only value will be possibly hardware, If the 2GB Matrix and SOC are in a different catagory ..... Their global days are numbered IMO and if it ends up being only one 5870 catagory the hardware will be limited as well .... not convinced they are worth the risk with these new cards on the horizon ....

Plus who knows what non reference 480's will bring to the table .....

[Dentlord]

Mine will be here Friday

MSI seriously owes Bren some money on this one, without his convincing I would NEVER have given them another penny.

I would only recommend it for those who don't have any 5870 results like me, otherwise I would sit and wait for a while. Shammy's retail results on the 480 are looking good too.
