Nice. It's good for me to learn how a (better) hysteresis design should work. Thanks.
Hysteresis is generally not useful with such steep control curves. I picked an excessive 10C as a quick, easy to illustrate example. Not...
Neat new feature. I've never used it in Afterburner, and the hint was written in a way that implies a hardware-style implementation. For a...
I suspect the GPU clock transitions result in video clock or data interruptions to the LCD system. Such conditions are likely to start the LCD...
Since the "PWM Status" LEDs mirrors the PCB load, it would be very interesting to tabulate max stable frequency, V_GPU, and AIB's idle & lower...
Startup requirement depends on how the card was designed. I would suspect running tweaker is required to force a non-standard frequency. PWM...
MSI's "Military class components" is (meaningless) marketing. It's more a statement that components weren't cost-cut as much as usual with...
1) Check if BIOS is set to boot from PCIe graphics, or internal/onboard only, etc. 2) Confirm 6-pin PCIe card power is fully inserted. 3)...
XFX tends to cost-cut parts and respin PCBs while keeping existing part numbers. That makes it hard to compare cards within a family (5770) or...
Either the idle clock is incorrect, or you are somehow stuck in the higher-power idle state. In Vista/Win7 I run the Balanced power scheme, but...
Reworking power controllers on graphics adapters for increased GPU voltage is straight forward any varies mainly in the pull-down value, and...
It's simple to modify video BIOSes and modifying power control circuitry isn't with a cheap 100$ soldering irons. It's also very easy to kill...

The photo is poorly angled (not angled, not close-up), so insufficient to confirm what those components are. A cracked core (of an inductor)...
Non-cased or poorly-encased inductors would crack under unfortunately angled force. Considering the positioning on the top-side photo and a...

Are you approaching the load limits of the power controller(s)?
Marketing is sales. Sales has a different perspective about reality. Think of their expectations as a compliment of your abilities.
No. Unless the allowed settings let you beat the AMD Power Play idle state's power--typ. 157MHz/300MHz/0.9500V--set a "default" or reset...
I doubt anyone expects you to personally runs the tests. However, they probably do expect I2C functionality so they can perform the relevant...
