afterburner is

gpu=815 memory 800

You can use Precisionx from evga software.

Have you already tried to enable unofficial overclocking at config? Don´t remeber exactly how this works anymore because I am retired from 3D for much too long time, but iirc, if you go to config file and change value there, you get wider frequency range at afterburner - so sad rt is no longer supported with new versions, was much better program in many aspects for user

thanks I already solved the version that should be used is 4.2.1 (with this program you will have GPU and memory clock up to 2500 up to 2400)

thanks for your help.

I hope to do the VMOD and memmod

Can HD6450 GDDR3 be allowed for R5 230 stage? That's exactly the same card, with the same gpu and if it is from the same mfc even use the same pcb! :)

 

I'm asking because i have a 6450 here (same as this: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/HD_6450_Passive/ which is the same as this R5 230: http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=6266479D-30D1-4810-9FBF-69B681F5909F&lang=eng) and R5 230 turn to be a bit expensive (considering how crap this card is and how devalued Real is nowadays =P ) here in Brazil, so no point on buying a card that i already have one laying around...

September 14, 2015 at 7:05:50 AM UTC

R5 230 is needed - no 6450 allowed, so please find a way to use a genuine 230

September 22, 2015 at 9:48:03 PM UTC

Where can i find the vmod for this card?

September 22, 2015 at 10:35:51 PM UTC

In spite of the card not being allowed, a look at 6450 vmods might help, the cards are same archtecture, so vmods of this could do the job for you

September 25, 2015 at 1:03:32 PM UTC

Has anyone found the r5 230 vmod? Cant find anywhere nor make it of my own.(the ic controllers aren't lead somewhere). Asus r5 230 1gb

As this comp is nearing its end i'm kinda annoyed at myself for not taking a screenie of my crap R5 230 vantage run as even that would of given me enough points to currently take 2nd overall. And to top it off my LN2 should of been here this AM but the drivers sick so will be friday :( i could of then tried to improve my other subs for the comp. well you live and learn and in future i'm gonna screenshot and submit even if it is poop cos you just never know.

I had Sapphire R5 230, but it was different in layout than http://www.overclock.net/t/1029715/sapphire-hd6450-gddr3-512mb-voltmods. I found pencil mod but it did nothing for me - raising vgpu from default 0.95 to 1.1 gave absolutely nothing. I might try to change the cooling but I didn't feel like messing with it. :D

Disappointed in Stage 1... Nothing in the top 7 that shows who actually did the best and give them points accordingly

 

Everyone knows how hard it is to gain 1 point more in XTU lol :D

September 30, 2015 at 12:39:51 PM UTC

I knew what to do :) SS on CPU and LN2 on memory, I lack stable OC platform since my Z97 OCF broke, so I didn't even bother.

September 30, 2015 at 1:06:05 PM UTC

My psc didn't arrive on time, so neither i could play them on ln2. Good job to everyone.

September 30, 2015 at 2:00:32 PM UTC

I wanted to run PSC on LN2 as well, but could not find the sinks lol

 

Well done to everyone, it was very close to the end :)

September 30, 2015 at 2:16:05 PM UTC

Really enjoyed the IGP competition on Stage 4. :)

Congrats Demac for the 1st place and everyone else that has participated too.

September 30, 2015 at 4:12:39 PM UTC

Well done all and congrats Demac!

September 30, 2015 at 5:03:27 PM UTC

Well done all and congrats Demac!

 

Thanks, you got a really nice g3258. I am expecting to see what it can do to to other benchmarks.
